Wow, I'm almost afraid to say this but it was the first NCIS LA episode in a long time that I didn't fall asleep half way through! I love John Corbett and generally enjoy him immensely. It was actually nice seeing two veteran favorites on the screen together (Corbett and Raver).
The story WAS bleh, but I find that to be the case with almost all of NCIS LA episodes. Believe me, I wish I saw it differently but I love all the characters yet fall asleep during the show most weeks.
I really like this show -- a lot -- and am feeling confused about what CBS is doing to its schedule by inserting Golden Boy next Tuesday at 10:00. Does anyone know what's going on?
I was unable to watch POI on Thursday so I DVR'd and watched it last night. I loved it, as usual. I'm pretty surprised at the less than stellar (3 stars, really?) review by TV Fanatic. Once again, I thought it was fabulous - held my interest the entire hour and I didn't drift off to sleep even once.
I will not watch anything that is extremely violent in content - no matter how good the plot, the actors, the sets, the etc. There are several shows that I will not watch for the same reason.
Just what we needed, another show with graphic depictions of violence . . . NOT. I don't watch Criminal Minds or Law and Order SVU for the same reason. There was one episode of SVU that actually gave me nightmares, and I'm not normally prone to them - at all.
I for one am saying ENOUGH to graphic, detailed violence on my TV screen.
I can't even beging to enumerate what I loved about last night's show. EVERYTHING. This show gets better, and better, and better. Why doesn't it get more promo time? Although - the ratings are pretty darn good.
I'm incredibly happy that Tony and Melissa won: very happy for Tony especially. Each time I watched Shawn, I just couldn't warm up to the entire picture she presented on the dance floor. She's a super talented gymnast and an all around great person, but to my eyes: she didn't do ballroom dancing as much as she did gymastics with dance steps thrown in. Call me old-fashioned, but I want to see ballroom dancers actually DANCE.
Absolutely loved this episode! And it seems to be getting better and better as Finch and Reese bring more people (and Bear) into the fold: more characters to play off each other. Truthfully, I can't figure out why more TV sites don't give this marvelous show the front billing it deserves.
This episode marked the return of the NCIS I know and love but seemed to me to be missing in the first few episodes of the season. It's finally moved away from the charactures of our team and returned to grounded characters. Great episode!
Thank you for a great review and especially for your comment at the end that if folks aren't watching, they're missing out on a great show. It was wonderful to watch Bear's bed moved closer and closer to Mr. Finch! And I confess I wasn't a Carter fan at the beginning but she's terrific now! Somehow I sensed that when Detectives Carter and Fusco finally knew about each other and could work as a team, the show would get even better. Once again: terrific episode!
While I watched the hour, I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the opener. Found myself wondering if the premise can stand up to being a weekly series - week after week, year after year - as opposed to a mini-series or made for TV movie.
I love this show. Period. Person of Interest is one of the best shows to come along in quite a while. And it captures my attention for the entire hour - no getting up to do anything else while it's on. And I'm all for the addition of Bear: this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Great season opener!
And in my opinion, there is NOTHING special about Modern Family. I only watch when there's NOTHING else on. LOL but then again, I hated/hate Seinfeld too. Big Bang was good for a while but the premise has gotten old for me. The only comedy shows on TV now that I actually laugh out loud at are Mike & Molly and The Middle.
