7 Reasons To Stop Everything And Watch 'Trial & Error'
Released Date TV

NBC has always been the home of some of my all-time favorite shows. From "SNL" to "30 Rock,"' they never disappoint and their newest crime comedy, "Trial and Error," is no different. It stars the ever-huggable John Lithgow (for those who don't know, he voiced the infamous Lord Farquaad in Shrek) as a poet who is accused of killing his wife in the backward town of East Peck. A New York lawyer with little experience is sent to start on the case and meets his team of two oddballs who work out of a taxidermy office. Since episode one, I was hooked. Here are the seven reasons to stop everything and start bingeing "Trial and Error" now!

1. It's produced by the same people who brought you "Parks and Recreation"

...and features a city with all of the small-town quirks of Pawnee that you've grown to love.

2. Jayma Hayes plays a sex-deprived and cutthroat lawyer

The innocent doe-eyed virgin of Glee is now a foul-mouthed DA with a thick Southern accent. She wants justice, but she may want the cute prosecution lawyer more.

3. No one can resist a quirky murder story

I'm the kind of girl who enjoys piecing crimes together with the geniuses of 'Criminal Minds' as much as laughing until I cry with the workers of the Scranton Dunder Mifflin. 'Trial and Error' combines these loves for a mystery full of amazing one-liners.

4. Secretary Ann has a laundry list of diseases that only exist in the dark depths of WebMD

The lovable research assistant is the optimistic light that keeps the legal team going. She suffers from multiple odd illnesses that cause her to faint at beautiful things, talk in accents and laugh in serious times. And out of that adorable smile comes some of the greatest quotes of the show, like this gem: "I don't recognize faces, but I can recognize penises."

5. Krysta Rodriguez takes her sass from stage to screen

If you don't know about Krysta Rodriguez already then hit up your local Google because she is amazing! As Larry Henderson's daughter in 'Trial and Error,' she draws from her sarcastic roots playing Wednesday Addams on Broadway.

6. It's crazy quotable

The show is filled with clever lines, 'brinking on awful' puns and witty word play. Each character has their moment in the sun, and none of them are the least bit unlikable. Even the accused murder brings on the jokes: "I did not kill my wife, although back in the day I was known as a lady-killer."

7. Finally, the Murder Board

This crack team is up against a mountain of evidence from the prosecution, and an entire town that has already accepted Larry's guilt. But the little bit of evidence they do get goes straight to the Murder Board. (M.ini-spoiler: there's a severed arm on the MB)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
