2 Broke Girls Update
Max and Caroline celebrate the holiday season in this week’s episode of 2 Broke Girls. But Caroline’s festive mood turns sour when her father cancels her trip to visit him in prison. The girls convince Han to feed the homeless on Thanksgiving. Then the girls decide to be elves for Christmas to earn money to replace a stand mixer that Caroline broke.
The love interest, Johnny, turned out to be a creep with a girlfriend. I was disappointed when the writers decided to take away the possibility of a real love connection for Max. The show would be much better if they added better supporting characters. They have toned done on the stereotypes, and they even made Oleg likable in the last episode. But it still feels like it is lacking something, other characters. I would like to see someone else from the girl’s life brought in like a family member, an old friend or a boyfriend.
I want to the cupcake business money ticker go up. After ten episodes, the girls have less than $700 in the business fund. In last week’s episode, Caroline purchased Johnny’s $500 painting and had Max destroy it to try to get over Johnny. Throughout the season, the girls have wasted a lot of money rather than invest it. I would like to see something more happen with the business because the season is almost over.
The ratings continue to hover around the eleven million range give or take a few thousand. New Girl tied 2 Broke Girls last week with a 5.5 adult demo average. Both shows are the highest-rated comedy for the fall 2011 season. Comedies with female-leads fared well this season.
Tribune Company Update
The Tribune Company submitted a Third Amended Plan of Reorganization to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware November 18. The company said the new plan should address the concerns the court expressed last month. The organization requested a confirmation hearing in February 2012.

Insults and Bankruptcy
2 Broke Girls
The show had almost 11 million viewers on Monday, Oct. 31. The ratings are strong, but some other bloggers/reviewers have complaints.
One of the biggest complaints is the racist overtones. I can agree. The diner owner, Han Lee, is the typical stereotype of an Asian. He is a Karaoke-loving, nerdy and naïve Asian man. The writers need to consider getting rid of the character or stop using such offensive stereotypes for the man as well as other characters.
My favorite development has been the introduction of a possible romance between Max and the sexy, smart bartender. Johnny works at a neighborhood bar and he frequents the diner. Last week, he came to the girl’s apartment to help Caroline build a Murphy bed, but Max ends up hanging out with him outside. In this week’s episode, Johnny tries to hook Caroline up with his friend from college without much luck.
The girls approached a popular coffee shop with a proposal to sell cupcakes, but the owner told the girls that the cupcakes were not pretty enough. Caroline signs them up to go to a cupcake decorating class taught by two stereotypical Italian girls. Max struggles to make pretty cupcakes and becomes obsessed with making a flower on a cupcake. She goes back to the class with a flower cupcake that took her three hours to make, but she ends up smashing it in front of the two Italian girls. Max’s dislike for the two girls is apparent when she gives them two cupcakes with insults on them. Two homosexual men in the class with Max and Caroline love the idea of insult cupcakes for their wedding shower and hire the girls to make their cupcakes.
Jennifer Coolidge, best known for her role as the MILF in American Pie, will be joining the cast of “Girls”. She will play Sophie, who moves into the girls’ apartment building in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Rumor has it that the role was written specifically for Coolidge.
Tribune Company
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey rejected the Tribune Company’s bankruptcy plan and a competing reorganization proposal on Monday. The Tribune Company plans to revise the plan and it feels positive the government will approve.
The Tribune Company owns some of the top newspapers in the country. It would be a shame for something to happen to the publications. People don’t understand the value of professional journalism anymore. Many people rely on news acquired from blogs and citizen journalism. The people writing these “news” stories unfortunately are not trained. They don’t know much about journalism ethics or the process of news gathering. The blogs tend to be extremely biased and sometimes untrue.
