76. The Lying Game Review: Close, But No Cigar

    2/28/2012 9:17 AM
    
    One other thing I find an issue with is how Emma could clue in Mads on the twin thing, but not Laurel. Her sister has proven to have her back. Rather than having to explain Sutton's actions with hers.
    
    Finally Ethan needs to take a break from both twins and Emma needs to start forming a life of her own, that does not involve the one Sutton pulled her in to. There was not much mention of Dan here. I was happy that Dan got a storyline outside of Ted and Ethan. I hope that working Theresa would not only stir up sparks, but would get him out from under Ted's thumb.

77. James Spader to Leave The Office

    2/27/2012 8:29 PM
    
    Seemed inevitable, they hardly screened him and they are now showing his competitor from last season Catherine Tate. I think Spader had a lot more to offer.

78. TV Fanatic Staff Round Table: Save Our Shows!

    2/25/2012 6:37 PM
    
    How come Nikita wasn't mentioned here, it is given a solid rating here week after week. So yeah definitely Nikita I mean those action fight scenes are always something to look forward too.
    
    I am also a fan of Parenthood, I am kind of shocked it is on the edge.

79. White Collar Season 3 Finale Preview: Judgment Day

    Finale already, but it just started.

80. Parenthood Review: Control

    2/15/2012 4:31 PM
    
    Amber needs to be given more credit, just look at how her life used to be and how responsible she spoke to Bob last week. You can see that she has changed significantly since we first met the Braverman's. In that confrontation, she was the only one telling everyone to calm down, without overreacting and provoking an argument and that showed maturity. It made me trust that she could handle a relationship.
    
    I believe Kristina overreacted like she does with everything in her life, almost as though she walked in on Haddie.
    
    Haddie on the other hand handled that situation in an immature manner, especially since she knows fully well how her mother overreacts. I applaud her notion to confide in her mother, but what if she was wrong about Amber and Bob? Amber was possibly still figuring out what her feelings for Bob meant, to have Kristina blow the situation out of proportion did not help.

81. The Firm Review: The Lying Game

    2/9/2012 10:38 AM
    
    Is The Firm getting cancelled? I used to follow reviews until they stopped here, I knew something was wrong then. Especially now it seems they are moving The Firm to Saturdays. Isn't that what they did for Prime Suspect and Chase? I think people got fed up of the toss between the past and the future (the few seconds of the future).
    
    You have to admit that the storyline flowed, despite the back and forth. They have attractive actors and well the writing is decent, so what isn't clicking for this one? I had only hoped it would have lasted for a full two season run, so we could at least get to learn each character and give closure to the story line.

82. The Good Wife Round Table: "Alienation of Affection"

    1/11/2012 12:12 AM
    
    What was most unexpected was having Carey turn around and actually have something good to say about Alicia. It was almost humble to have that growth within his character and made him a little more likeable. Was it sincere... yes. Did he have anything to gain... well he did appreciate working with Alicia's husband. Still that entire scene with Carey won this episode. It was unexpected and subtle.
    
    If Will wants any chance of a decent fight Elsbeth Tascioni would be that person. She is spontaneous and a delight to watch.
    
    Diane needs someone new in her life that allows us to see that other side to her outside of the firm. The process server did it, he even got a few points giving Diane a tip boost to win her case.
    
    Still the characters out shined the case of the week. It was easily forgettable 5.

83. Nikita Review: Oh, Crap!

    1/7/2012 1:10 AM
    
    The guy handing the guardians their packages would have been able to tell who he was giving each package to. Both guardians confirmed their identities via picture, how would the random guy have known who to give the right package to without knowing what they looked like. Also he could have easily pegged Michael for a fake, even the verbal codes were not different.
    
    Just a thought.
    
    This was a solid episode. It was fun seeing the guys together kicking some butt and breaking their necks in the process. How sad it was seeing Michael and Owen walking off as though they had a bad work out session which was the case. I guess the regimen was seriously needed. I distinctly remember Owen having quite the same edge as that guardian who bounced off of that wall. Talk about skill, thumbs up to that actor. I guess Nikita was right, they both needed to be there and she seemed to have handled her side of things.

84. The Good Wife Review: Face-Branching Out

    12/12/2011 11:13 AM
    
    I believe Will has been searching for some kind of companionship. The past seasons have made that attempt to highlight their friendship and grow the chemistry between them. When Owen asked Alicia if she loved Will, he response shocked me. Remember when Will slipped and said he loved Alicia, he certainly seemed like he meant and he wanted the same response from Alicia.
    
    Maybe Alicia is in denial, but it doesn't excuse her actions. She didn't once consider what her meaningless sex would leave on Will, if he saw something beyond that. It changes the character Alicia coined earlier on in this series, her character simply needs some work.

85. New Girl Review: Your Mouth Says One Thing, Your Feet Another

    11/9/2011 9:43 PM
    
    You have to admit, this show has a way of making you laugh. It is filled with odd characters that stand out in their own ways. Some how Jess' song has its appeal don't you think? Zooey Deschanel and her sister both portray similar, but significant characters in their own element, while controlling each series. I think an hour of Jess would be even more satisfactory, I'm sure like many others you just can't get enough and she doesn't even try to make you laugh, she just herself.

86. The Good Wife Round Table: "Executive Order 13224"

    11/9/2011 8:30 PM
    
    "If you keep interrupting I keep having to go back to the top". My favorite scene would have to involve this quote. It is too funny to ignore. Carrie Preston made a great guest star appearance as Elsbeth Tascioni, pure talent.
    
    Peter has been in control of his life, before and after prison. He has managed to changed the minds of many about his image, but somehow it angers him that he couldn't keep that control over Alicia. So now anything he does against LG is because of his hard feelings. Will is someone he wants to take down.
    
    The tutor storyline had absolutely no follow up, so it just hangs there in the show without any real purpose but to give Grace a storyline. I'd hoped for some sort of clarity, but it makes absolutely no sense having the tutor around.
    
    Diane does everything for the best interest of the company. If she was going to say something to Will she would have done it close to when the insurance guy arrived. Everything else is implied and Will caught on to Diane's message, she just wants to protect the firm. I also sensed Diane being a bit harsh to Alicia as well.

87. Burn Notice Midseason Premiere Clips: Southern Spying

    11/1/2011 3:45 PM
    
    Wow! It's about time, but this new antagonist is a real push over, so he's doing his job, whatever it takes to survive. He feels confident that he has Michael in his grip. I hope Michael takes control fast, when he tried to clear his name before he landed in ice cold waters, now I hope he comes clean. Puerto Rico sounds like a nice trip for Burn Notice, but at what cost.

88. The Lying Game Fall Finale Review: Did That Just Happen?!?

    10/18/2011 12:26 AM
    
    Remember when Ethan was able to tell Sutton and Emma apart with one kiss? I was kind of hoping Ethan would have seen through Sutton's game before Emma walked in. Ethan just couldn't believe that it couldn't be Emma he was kissing, even when he hesitated for a bit.
    
    Sutton was rather cold with her mother. We have grown to appreciate Emma and Kristen's relationship, that we actually have no idea how Sutton's relationship was with her mom. Now I understand why in the past Kristen was hesitant to hug Emma or even reveal certain things to her, Sutton treated Kristen just as horrible as Emma.
    
    I hope Sutton is still alive, after she went through all the drama to find her mother, it would be ridiculous if she left now, without even making amends.
    
    How cool was Lexi giving Emma support. I was beginning to wonder whether or not they still communicated since she left LA. How would like to have a friend like Lexi who could tell a true friend apart from her twin sister. I am glad Emma didn't run away in the end.

89. Charlie's Angels: Canceled!

    10/16/2011 7:10 PM
    
    It was a good concept, but executed poorly. They needed to make the show their own, but didn't and only fell on the older cliches. They actually had some strong story points within the episodes, but it wasn't strong enough. It sucks, because it could have been something great.

90. Memphis Beat: Canceled!

    I am going to miss the singing along with the character Dwight represented.

91. Nikita Review: Howdy, Ex-Partner

    10/16/2011 5:34 PM
    
    Grace, I understand what you mean, but the writers probably had no use for her character anymore. Which could also point to the other directions they have in store for Nikita, which only uses future references instead of the past.
    
    I actually liked this episode, we were able to see how Nikita's thinking rubbed off on Alex, which gave her an edge. Alex's story actually goes beyond how I expected it to grow and the writers are doing a good job on that path.

92. The Good Wife Round Table: "The Death Zone"

    10/5/2011 12:06 AM
    
    Favorite scene would have first been Kalinda and Eli, but then there was also that confrontation between Will and the Brit. Fair Fight!
    
    Kalinda and Eli - a great pairing, let's see if anything comes from this. I really admire how Eli's personality becomes so complementary.
    
    Peter just has ulterior motives. He wants nothing good for the firm and probably wanted to even the score any way he could.
    
    You know, this weeks case was refreshing, almost close to the real deal of it, for which I admire The Good Wife. Grade A+

93. Nick Offerman to Host TCA Awards

    Well done interview!

94. Covert Affairs Season Premiere Review: Back to Square One?

    6/8/2011 3:37 PM
    
    I disagree, besides the green screen reference it was barely significant to alter the natural outcome of the show. There were cryptic messages embedded when dealing with Joan and Arthur working together to unravel Arthur's problems with the agency. The only thing I wanted answered coming in this season was whether Ben survived and at one point it did look as though he didn't, so I'm happy that Eion Bailey is spending more time with us. As for Liza Hearn, the brief mention was good enough, it left room for more details.
    
    Everything is not the way we left it. It's a fresh series and it shows, but after following up from last season short 11 episode run, I wasn't disappointed and wait in hope for more episodes this season. As for your confusion with Ben as an operative before, he worked solo; lone ranger... that's about it. Now it looks like Arthur is lending him a bone, so that's interesting. Let's see what happens.

96. In Plain Sight Season Premiere Review: Everything's Changing

    5/3/2011 10:36 PM
    
    This wasn't a strong premiere for the series. I'd hope for a relationship between Mary and Marshall, but the writers haven't taken up that arc seriously yet. The sub plots were okay, but they had better premieres. Let's see what happens.

97. Desperate Housewives Review: "I'll Swallow Poison on Sunday"

    5/3/2011 10:33 PM
    
    Okay you said Lynette's personality is narcissistic lately. It more seems like she trying to hold on to the "Old Tom" tight before he vanishes. She is acting out of fear. It's understandable seeing that the Tom she knew is slipping. It's natural for anyone to feel that distance and you must admit that Tom has been very distant lately.
    
    On the other hand, what did Lynette expect after pushing Tom to betray Carlos (by the way nothing became of that, no reaction from Carlos). Lynette wanted better for Tom and it turned him into someone that has his business trips and less family time. Lynette fears what would happen if he becomes more distant. She wants him to be happy but she also wants him to be home.
    
    This episode had Lynette clinging on to "Past Tom", if he passed the test, she may be wrong about her fears. It seems pretty normal for Lynette to fear that loss and not narcissistic. Her careful need to mend, more breaks the relationship. Anyone can relate.

    Arizona: Mark, save it for the romantic movie episode
    Mark: Yeah, we could have Izzie guest star, seems appropriate for 'Knocked up' right...
    Arizona: Just leave my baby out of it
