    Medium - Season 3

    The two hour season premiere aired early last night (scoring a 5.9/9) and featured Patricia Arquette's real life husband as guest star playing a past lover. Although I really like this show and have always said that the one hour slot seems to sometimes force story lines into a too fast...

    Sleeeper Cell - Showtime Series

    The nine part Showtime series has gotten really good reviews - "24" like with less belief suspension required. Also no commercials and "R" rated themes. Caught Episode 1 and was impressed. Takes more time to get into than network time-forced TV, but good acting and build up. Also like they do...

    Medium - Season Two

    That was a good episode, on par with hopefully what will be another excellent season. This is one of the few shows where it can both freak me out and also be very moving at the same time. The use of the old film and back to the future twist was very well done. The attorney/daughter was a...

    Heart - Soundstage - PBS-HD

    Part one of a two part Heart Soundstage concert premiered last night. I realize the "Alive in Seattle" Heart DVD is supposed to be excellent, but some of this concert underwhelmed me. Nancy's voice seemed strong, but the concert lacked an energy I was expecting from such an intimate staging...

    Hell's Kitchen - ongoing thread

    Somebody else want to tell me if it is really bad, bad or okay. I kind of felt all three opinions watching the premiere last night. With a nod (if not clone) to the Apprentice, it made The Donald look like a wimp. For me, it appeared too canned and set-up, although watching the tension was...

    Crossing Jordan - 4/3 Crossed Up?

    Do I have ESP or was the "all new" Crossing Jordan last night a repeat from a few weeks ago? The TV guides and even the promo right after L&O CI leading into Jordan said it as an "all new" episode, then I got a bad sense of deja vous a few minutes into the opening.

    New Law & Order: Trial By Jury

    After two episodes the jury still is out for me. I love the franchise and marvel at the way they been able to keep multiple L&O concepts moving forward, but kind of unclear where the new one is heading. In fact, I initially thought it was a semi-reality version when I first heard the title...

    SNL : Years 1-5 Special 2/20/05

    Was nice to see a non-series, retrospective show make the full leap to HD, irregardless of the lack of HD for the mostly archival material. I was very surprised to see the show in HD and the use of rich backgrounds for commentary and excellent placement and use of old photos really made the...

    Law & Order - Jan 12

    ** SPOILER ** Is it just me, or was that a strange statement by suddenly departing DA Southerlyn (Elisabeth Rohn) in the final 20 seconds of the episode. Did she say what I thought she said to Thompson? Where did that come from?

    OT: Seinfeld Concert Tour - 2004

    For those who missed the tour last year, Seinfeld is again touring his well-honed stand-up act. Had the opportunity to catch the show this weekend and highly recommend any fan try and get tickets. Much of the just over an hour of material was similar to last years tour which I caught, but...

    The Practice - 3/7

    *** SPOILER ALERT ** I knew it....David E. Kelly stays to form and pulls "the defendant did" it in the final minutes of this excellent three parter. Odds were on the insane Betty White character or the lustful Priest, but again we are tricked at the end. The dentist always looked a little...
