This Is the End
Five
Hollywood pals (Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson
and James Franco) and one asshole (Danny McBride, of course) get high
and wait out the Apocalypse. Will they burn in Los Angeles? Or be
Raptured to Heaven? Yes. Comedy Gold! (Sony)
New Girl: Season 2
Jess (Zooey Deschanel) gets fired from her
teaching job, then spends 25 episodes on temp gigs (model, shot girl,
general quirkstress, etc.), wacky misadventures and falling for roommate
Nick (Jake Johnson). In other words, Comedy Gold! (Fox)
Awkward: Seasons 1 & 2
Jenna (Ashley Rickards) narrates/blogs about the perils of being a teenager and dealing (awkwardly, duh) with cute boys, mean girls, dumb parents and wasting her childbearing years on high school and learning—according to MTV, at least. (Paramount)
Beauty & the Beast: Season 1
A detective (Kristin Kreuk—yes, really) fights her attraction to a horribly disfigured monster (Jay Ryan—playing “horribly disfigured” with a wee scar on his face) as they solve her mother’s murder in an appropriately sexy manner. (Paramount)
Fright Night 2: New Blood
In the sequel to the 2011 remake, a professor (Jaime Murray) who also happens to be a vampire prepares to feed on American idiot high-schoolers in Romania—can the vamp-hunting host of Fright Night (Sean Power) stop her? Should he? (Fox)
