The Year Was 2013–new television shows premiering included “The Blacklist,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “The Goldbergs” and “Southern Charm”…topping the music charts, “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke, “Just Give Me A Reason” by P!nk and Iowa-born Nate Reuss, Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” and “Cups” from Anna Kendrick…in the news, Detroit declared bankruptcy, the Affordable Care Act registration website crashed, and a set of bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon…and on the big screen, “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “We’re The Millers”.
