When Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) tells Barry (Troy Gentile) that he'll have to earn his own money if he wants to purchase an expensive item, Murray (Jeff Garlin) suggest he come work at the furniture store with him.
Q: Do you know yet if "Mixology" has been picked up for a second season? I've never seen anything like it, the format is so fresh and has great depth. Can you also tell me anything about the girl who plays Kacey?
Though it did have a fairly original premise, ABC opted not to order a second round of "Mixology."
The series, which spent its entire season following a group of people over one night at a bar, never drew a big enough audience to convince ABC to renew it. Though it was never officially canceled, when ABC announced its schedule for next season, "Mixology" wasn't on it.
Freakshow, on AMC

In order to derail the terror attacks planned by Margot Al-Harazi (Michelle Fairley), Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) and President Heller (William Devane) face the unthinkable in this new episode. Meanwhile, Jordan Reed (Giles Matthey) faces imminent danger.
Handcuffs and heartbreak: 'Rookie Blue' returns for a fifth season
The cast of “Rookie Blue”
Police procedural shows are a dime a dozen on screen these days, but "Rookie Blue" outshines the rest.
From humble beginnings to critical acclaim, the Canadian show stole its way into the hearts of the viewers across North America. It found its voice and, just like the rookie cops of the show, grew perfectly into its own skin.
Q: I recently saw an ad for a new show that Dylan McDermott is going to be in. That reminded me that I can't remember if his last show ended or not. Did that show ever reach a conclusion?
CBS's "Hostages" was a case where the "limited series" trend works well for audiences as well as networks.
The series aired one 15-episode season, at the end of which its complicated kidnapping-and-presidential-assassination plot was wrapped up neatly. I won't say how because you didn't ask directly, and so you may yet be intending to catch up with it on DVD or Netflix.
Return to Amish, on TLC
Abe, Rebecca, Kate, Jeremiah and Sabrina are back in a new episode of this spinoff reality series. The young people return to their Amish roots after a foray into the outside world and their lives have been permanently changed. Drama is sure to follow.
Sinister Sundays: 'Cutthroat Kitchen' is a weekend hit
Alton Brown hosts “Cutthroat Kitchen”
Some new shows take a while to build up momentum with audiences, a season or two to become palatable; others just go down smooth with the first taste.

The U.S. is accusing Chinese military officials of spying. When asked why they did it, the Chinese officials said, “It's payback for all the times your students cheated off the Asian kid.”
