The American airing of ‘Merlin’ cut my favorite scene in the season finale, and for that, I demand retribution. Or at least that everyone see what they missed.

A little of everything. UK – ‘Life on Mars’, ‘Touching Evil’, ‘Doc Martin’. US – ‘ER’, ‘The Game’, ‘Project Runway’. Classics – ‘Have Gun Will Travel’, ‘Rhoda’, ‘Dragnet’.

It was a rather quiet week in the ratings as we made our way into July. The networks were par for the course and the big news on cable was the decided lack of viewers for Showtime’s ‘L-Word’ spinoff.

It’s Friday night! And Tara and Michael are clacking about commercials again. This time, we arm wrestle The World’s Most Interesting Man!

I found the season ender a bit underwhelming but, luckily, the appearance of a bearded Fornell as a hot bartender, stripper-befriending priest kept me going.

If the competition is coming to an end, I’m a little disappointed. It has been the best thing on this show in a long time.

‘Rizzoli and Isles’, TNT’s new procedural, premieres later this month. Is it worth watching? It was a great TV movie, but I don’t know if it has any merit beyond the first episode.
