Grey’s Anatomy -‘ Valentine’s Day Massacre’

Our favorite doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital try to celebrate Valentine’s Day like any other regular couple. But when the roof of a restaurant caves in, the doctors will rather spend this romantic holiday elbows deep in surgeries and drama. So, for those who would prefer to see some bloody body parts instead of candy hearts, you will love this episode.

30 Rock – ‘Anna Howard Shaw Day’

Those of you who don’t really feel up to celebrate this romantic holiday, can always get a page from Liz Lemon’s book. In the episode entitled Anna Howard Shaw Day, she schedules a root canal, so she won’t have to spend the holiday alone. Meanwhile, Jenna also has a not so romantic day, when her stalker stops following her, and Jack meets Avery, who will later become the mother of his child.

Supernatural – ‘My Bloody Valentine’

Even though this episode has a Cupid and a lot of people in love, don’t be fulled by all the romanticism. The Winchester brothers are still on the hunt. And this time they are actually going for Cupid himself, who is not exactly the baby in diapers we all know, but an almost naked annoying guy who likes to hug people… a lot.  Don’t worry, there’s also a lot of blood, gore and scary moments to go around.

Bones – ‘The Bikini in the Soup’

Those who don’t like to celebrate Valentine’s Day will find some interesting ideas to spend February the 14th, in this delightful season 6 episode. Just try to avoid tanning beds. After solving another grisly murder in a timely fashion, every squint has romantic plans for Valentine’s, except Booth and Bones. Paying homage to Saint Valentine’s Day massacre, the duo spends the evening at the shooting range trying out some old-school machine guns. Now those are some fun plans!

These are our picks for best Valentine’s Day themed episode. Of course, if these are not enough you can always choose from the brand new crop of episodes. You might want to check out New Girl, 30 Rock or Happy Endings for some fun moments.
