26. Suits Review: Daddy Issues

    Love the sharp dialog in this show. I have also loved Louis since his character was on Philly 10 or 12 years ago. He always plays the same character--a smart pain in the *** with no social skills, but it is certainly unique on network tv.

27. Necessary Roughness Review: Sex Dreams & Other Myths

    Am I imagining it or is Dani sounded dumber this year? Her inflections and the dim-witted expression she often wears would certainly keep me from taking any advice from her. On the other hand, I love Peter MacNichol as Dani's shrink. He is smart, professional and funny. Maybe Dani could go on sabbatical and PM could take on her patients. Not the same dynamic, obviously, but definitely more believable.

28. Bones Review: Last Will And Testament

    I'm sorry, I can't stand the character of Daisy. When she reappeared it was like seeing a piece of gum you can't get off your shoe. Let's hope both of them take Cam's advice and move on.

29. Downton Abbey Review: Goodbye to a Lady

    Unrelieved gloom and doom in this episode made me give it a lower star rating. There was not a single storyline that wasn't fraught with heartache. Yes, there is a possibility of Bates being cleared, but the guard and inmate are clearly cooking something up. Yes there was a certain satisfaction in the sanctimonious cook being given her notice but the reaction of the Downton staff bodes ill for what is to follow. I confess I felt more anxious than entertained at the end of the hour.

30. The Following Review: A Murderous Masterpiece

    Sorry, when they killed dogs, that was it for me. Clearly anything goes for shock value. I can't watch this when I am sure they will be upping the violence quotient weekly.

31. Modern Family Review: Milestones

    Totally agree with Lindalou. The final 30 seconds was the best part of the episode. I was misting up as I watched Jay cuddling his new son.

32. NCIS Review: You Are Not Alone

    Wonderfully heartbreaking episode. Loved when Vance said now he understood how Gibbs felt (losing his wife and child) and I also liked that Gibbs did not respond with any platitudes. Tony was awesome, Tim was solid, Ducky was so very touching. All in all an emotional episode in which every emotion rang true.

33. Bones Review: Center Stage

    I hate to say it but this show is getting repetitive and predictable. And Bones' peccadillos have become tiresome. Can't we shake it up a bit?

34. Justified Season 4 Premiere Review: Humor Me

    For some reason I have had a hard time finding this weak's review and ended up posting my comment in the wrong place--twice. Now I can finally say my piece:
    Great, great episode, but I will never again watch this show in real time. The commercials were such a buzzkill, they totally destroyed the pace of the story. From now on I will record the episode and watch the next day, racing through the 20 minutes of ads.

35. Justified Season Finale Review: It Wasn't Me, It Was The Two-Armed Man

    Great, great episode, but I will never again watch this show in real time. The commercials were such a buzzkill, they totally destroyed the pace of the story. From now on I will record the episode and watch the next day, racing through the 20 minutes of ads.

36. Justified Cast & Crew Mystery of Season 4, Raylan/Boyd Showdown to Come

    Great, great episode, but I will never again watch this show in real time. The commercials were such a buzzkill, they totally destroyed the pace of the story. From now on I will record the episode and watch the next day, racing through the 20 minutes of ads.

37. NCIS Review: The Steel Bonds of Blood

    1/9/2013 5:06 PM
    
    When the episode began I was rather irked by the fake accent of Eli and the predictable dialog between him and the Iranian, but the final outcome was so stunning that all my criticisms were swept away in the sorrow of Vance losing his wife and Ziva's heartfelt despair. Shocked doesn't begin to describe my reaction. We have lost main characters before; nothing can compare to the death of Kate, but as I waited with Tony and Gibbs in the hospital corridor for word of whether Leon's wife had survived surgery, I reassured myself, "They would never kill two major characters." It was like a blow to the solar plexus when Leon came out and just stood there. What a sense of loss.

38. Glee Review: All I Want For Christmas Is No More Holiday Specials

    12/18/2012 11:02 AM
    
    I am not ashamed to admit I LOVE "Love Actually" (I even have the screenplay as a book.) but this was no "Love Actually" I'd say it was more "It's a Wonderful Life." That having been said, I fell for all the hokey, manipulative plot twists, especially Sue giving her gifts to the Lunch Lady and daughter. Sometimes you just got to relax and go with the flow.

39. Royal Pains Review: Something Borrowed, Something New

    12/18/2012 10:58 AM
    
    This show is like pablum, bland, comforting, and easy to digest. Who cares if it isn't realistic. (The only other show I used to watch faithfully that gave me the same feeling was Providence.) This is pore escapism and it was fun to have a dose at Christmas and not just in the summer!

40. Homeland Review: A Man, A Plan

    12/4/2012 5:01 PM
    
    The tension was practically palpable in this episode, By the end of the hour, when I could finally exhale, I was exhausted. Brody is such a complex character. The writers really have us guessing, don't they?
    The scene between Brody's daughter and the VP's son was a beautiful piece of writing and acting. Such sorrow and lost innocence.

41. Modern Family Review: Let's Get Phil-sical!

    11/29/2012 5:28 PM
    
    This show is consistently funny. There are other programs that are funny for a few minutes, but then you realize all the characters on the show have the same delivery and it gets boring in about 5 minutes. On Modern Family each character is a unique individual and the jokes and situations are tailored differently. I look forward to every episode, not just for the humor but also the underlying love these people feel for each other. In that way It reminds me of Friends, another classic family show.

42. Rizzoli & Isles Review: Men in Tights or Mennonites?

    11/28/2012 7:31 PM
    
    I did enjoy the funny and fast dialog flying last night. Loved the scene where they had to shower together and the way R&I debated whether the guy with them was interested in girls.

43. Leverage Review: Too Big To Con

    11/28/2012 7:26 PM
    
    This episode showed a disappointing drop-off in quality. There was little chemistry between the main characters, as if they have all settled in and no longer needed to try particularly hard. The story itself was hackneyed (Big Bad Super Store-- Done to death) and the crime was too amorphous to be considered a major injustice. Yeah, yeah they are taking jobs away from the independent store owner (Done to death) but no real crime to avenge. The gal who was the face of the corporation was just an eager beaver doing her job. The only character who deserved retribution was the pipsqueak bully and that wasn't really worth a whole hour. All in all, I felt the writers and actors had phoned this one in. Do better next week, guys!

44. NCIS Review: Gone, But Not Forgotten

    11/28/2012 7:17 PM
    
    Did you all catch the fabulous impression of Robert Wagner (DiNuzzo, Sr.) that Tony gave? He had voice and inflection down pat.
    This episode's storyline I didn't find particularly gripping, but I have enjoyed seeing Gibbs showing a bit more humanity each episode. There was even a hint of a fond smile as he gazed at his "family." By the end of the season they may have him hugging Tony instead of slapping him!

45. Revenge Review: A Journey With No End

    So Ashley has a history with Emily? She has certainly hidden it well in the present day. Or did the writers just think of that plot twist?

46. The Good Wife Review: The Comedian, Breasts and Brazil

    I predict the possibility of Peter and the JAG lawyer having an affair next season.

47. Person of Interest Review: Welcome to Suburbia

    11/10/2012 4:16 PM
    
    Does anyone know why this show and The Mentalist are not on Comcast"s On Demand menu? I confess I fell asleep while watching this episode (totally caused by fatigue, not boredom) and expected to be able to catch up from the cable company's archive but they don't have this show on the menu. I guess I can catch it online but considering what I pay Comcast, I thought it would be available.
    Some great dialog on this episode while I was awake.

48. Fringe Review: Haven't We Been Here Before?

    Could someone please tell me how Observers reproduce since there apparently are no females in fedoras.

49. Grimm Review: Cannibals and Kisses

    11/10/2012 3:51 PM
    
    I agree with T. More Monroe. I really liked this episode with the added tension of the execution in just a few hours. It's great having the partners working together as equals. The final line from Monroe has to rank up there with the best closing lines of all times!

50. Glee Review: Hopelessly Devoted to Glee

    11/10/2012 3:06 PM
    
    I didn't miss Kurt or Rachel at all. "Out of sight, out of mind." It did seem rather creepy that so many of last year's grads were willing to hang around high school. Glad Jane Lynch is regaining her form and I think some of the new Glee members will be a good addition. The mean girl is such a caricature though that she is hard to take. I think a little subtlety would help.
