    American Idol - Season 8

    They now have two more shows to use the judges save. When used it will then set up a double elimination the following week. I suspect they will use it for anyone left but LiL and based on the last several weeks dialing results, Anoop will test it very soon. They mentioned they would consider...

    Medium season 4

    This show always seems to run out of time and feels sometimes like a forced ending is needed as the clock shows 9:57. Last nights close was a good example - I was starting to think it would have to be a two-parter to wrap it all up and then there is a sudden rush into a less than satisfying...

    Medium season 4

    I found the scene of the finding of the young victim pretty disturbing. This show has always had a strange feel to it, which helps sell the medium concept. The scene in the store attic was shocking and for me was one of the those scenes that is hard to forget.

    Journeyman - season 1 thread

    In a previous scene with the FBI agent, they showed the agent getting up and leaving Dan alone staring at the bill. The assumption a scene or two later with a similar zoom in on the bill makes it probable the intention is to show it is the suspect currency.

    Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season One

    I wonder if the success of American idol, et al began the slow death of quality drama on network TV. Studio 60 may have been doomed from the start. The ability to capture a huge viewer base with a single, low cost episode has made it difficult to invest and build an audience who will follow a...

    The Shield: Season Six

    Lots of room for more....as it should be. Got be a another decade of stories left. I guess still on for final 13 episodes in early 2008, filming should have been started (according to the article at beginning of this thread). Unlike the end of the Sopranos this Sunday, at least we can still...

    Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season One

    Ron, I totally agree with your sentiment. I cannot figure out how this show failed - if it was just poor time placement or marketing okay, but I cannot accept how this show is gone and a series of mindless, formula based shows keeps an audience. I wonder if it would have found a beter home on...

    Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season One

    Except that I cannot get the vision of Powers "Jim Jones" Boothe doing a Dick Cheney impression while making out with her inthe Oval Office. She has been forever tainted....;-) Knowing the fact that these epsisodes are the final chapter in a promising show, is a shame. I wonder at what point...

    The Shield: Season Six

    UFB....best set of episodes in an already great company of them. As an aside, the "Rescue Me" promos are really creative. Great music and visuals that would make me want to watch it - the F/X folks are really impressing - network guys need to see how to do it right.

    Studio 60's sets are being dismantled. Not good, a real shame. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07124/783423-352.stm

    The Shield: Season Six

    Shane's "face" work was the most realistic make up combined with acting I have seen in a long time. His pain, both physical and emotional, was literally dripping off the screen. If Walton Goggins does not get an emmy nod after this season, Vic and team should pay em a visit.

    American Idol - Season 6

    Ron, Although I also have no problem with Howards show (although he lost me when he went to pay radio), the callers assurtions do not really add any real fact to this topic of Idol maipulation which has raged since day one. As far as the timing regarding Sanjaya's drop to the bottom after...

    American Idol - Season 6

    I believe the disclaimer states that they can throw out votes that they deem were unaccepatble due to computer dialers or other methods which unfairly add votes. The fine print probably does not say they can change votes because they prefer someone. They certainly can steer things in other ways...

    American Idol - Season 6

    Probably not, as last nights eliminiation process only said whether they were safe or not. Using Jordan as the foil of the shocker proved she was the big vote getter, hence the potential shock value in her being left until last to learn the voting result (or lack of result). This concept...

    American Idol - Season 6

    For all those high on Sanjaya's cute sister, well looks like she was high on everything also. Seems Sanjaya's mom "was pinched by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department in February 2005 in Pierce County, Wash. after they found 310 marijuana plants -- and the Sis-jaya keeping watch with a bag of...

    The Shield: Season Six

    The Hyatt character reminded me of William Peterson (CSI) in "Manhunter" (1986), an early Michael Mann film which pre-dated the more successful "Silence of the Lambs" and also when he was in "To Live and Die in LA".

    American Idol - Season 6

    Have to agree with all here....Jordan and Melinda cruising to the finals and Blake making a critical poor song choice. I have been interested in him because of his song choices to date, but chosing "Imagine" was a mistake from the start. It would never had worked. I am also surprised at the...

    American Idol - Season 6

    I also have found C&W music shifting to sound more like traditional pop. What was considered Country years ago seems to have taken a backseat to a evolved genre which uses the same lyrical themes and traditional instrumental flairs as the old style, but with more layered production and complex...

    American Idol - Season 6

    dude, This isn't about you having to justify your opinions of these singers, it was about your sick comment. This is more about the result of your hostility than you having to defend your opinion. When I suggested you edit a sentence, you knew exactly what to edit out, so let's bag the...

    ChrisCAB, You need to get a grip and control your anger towards a singer on a TV reality show. I would also edit out your last sentence now.

    The Shield: Season Six

    Another great episode, as expected. First time though I actually looked at Vic less as a bad guy hero and more as just a bad guy as he tortured the wrong guy. I do not know if it was intentional, but us knowing who really is the killer and letting Vic go so medieval, it will ease his...

    Vic all the way. Jack is too soft and ruined from chinese prison and Tony is getting too pudgy and surrounded by sheep in wolves clothing.

    The Shield: Season Six

    Great start, lots to work with so quickly, and tension that drips off the TV set. Seems like they also are pushing the limits of TV standards even more this season with the language and lovely crime scene at the conclusion. Still not a more engaging, well-acted and gut twisting show on TV, IMHO.
