What I Learned On:

Nashville - Break off the bottom part of a cupcake, then put it on top of the frosting - essentially making a cupcake sandwich - you get frosting in every bite.

Covert Affairs - An "elevator pitch" includes talking points that can be outlined quickly.

Hawaii Five-O - What can I say...very educational show. Did you know that even if you file off your fingerprints, they'll grow back in a couple of weeks? I know!

Hawaii Five-O - You can apparently store a gun in the freezer and count on it to still fire when needed (i.e. home invasion). If true, definitely a unique, unsuspecting hiding place.

Body of Proof - Use rice to dry out a cell phone that has gotten wet (Hawaii Five-O also featured this trick).

Rizzoli & Isles - 18th Century beer sucks.

Bachelor Pad - Even "Am I really watching THIS?" shows can have moments (i.e. Ames forgoing $250,000 to follow evicted new love Jackie off the show). Of course, they broke up shortly after (no surprise), so ...

Entourage - To pass a drug test, if you're a man, you can be fitted with a fake p***s that emits a replacement "sample."

Covert Affairs - If you're going to "read in" (i.e. reveal that you're a spy for the CIA) your family, expect them to still love you but ask you to move out.

Suits - If you know a great hacker, you can invent an alumni record at Harvard Law without ever having set foot on campus.

Beauty and the Beast - Gross, but ... bedbugs, being bloodsuckers, can retain the DNA of anyone they bite in the bed they infest, so if need for crime-solving/affair-proving purposes, evidence is available.

Awesome Random Facts

- Hawaii Five-0 stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan were born exactly one day apart (August 24 and August 23, 1976, respectively).

- Plenty of TV co-stars happen to share the same birthday! Firefly stars Morena Baccarin (Inara) and Jewel Staite (Kaylee) share June 2 (Baccarin is three years older). One of TV's most beloved on-screen couples, Family Ties' Steven and Elyse Keaton - aka Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter - were both born on the very same day, June 21, 1947, while Big Bang Theory stars Johnny Galecki (Leonard) and Kunal Nayyar (Raj) share April 30 (Galecki is six years older).

- Jimmy Fallon, during a 1998 sketch on Saturday Night Live with host Alec Baldwin in which Jimmy is the "Ghost of SNL Future," predicted he would be hot in 2011 and host the show in December of that year. He is slated to do just that.

- I went to elementary school and junior high with Rachel Zoe of The Rachel Zoe Project.

- Marilu Henner (CBS' Unforgettable) is one of only six people in the world diagnosed with Superior Autobiographical Memory (the ability to remember nearly every moment of life in great detail). Perfect show for her to appear on, since main character has same ability.

- Stanford is one of the most referenced colleges on TV. Just a few of the shows featuring characters that attended/graduated the esteemed University include Supernatural, Chuck, Veronica Mars, The X-Files, Parenthood, Castle, The Goldbergs, The Big Bang Theory, Mistresses ... even Saved By the Bell!
