The Practice virgin’s diary – Murdering husbands, the EPA, and smoking crack for two

(Season 5, Episodes 1-3) I enjoy long cases as much as the next legal drama fan, but it’s generally only enjoyable when the case is so massive that it requires multiple episodes. The Practice seems to have found another reason for dragging these out: the lawyers just care too darn much. And it’s not even […]

Who’s in charge on Criminal Minds?

After riding a heart-pounding roller coaster for ten episodes, culminating in Haley Hotchner’s funeral, our very own Hotch has returned to the BAU for some soul-cleansing psycho hunting.

The Closer – We’re old friends Louie

Last week The Closer returned with what I called a very heavy episode. And this week? They completely turn the tables and bring back a little of the zany. At least, in my little corner of the TV world, Beau Bridges as a detective that used to be a man… but is now a woman… […]

Venture Bros – HENCH4LIFE

I’ve made note before about how I think Supernatural is the best show on TV. I’m not ready to bump the Winchester Bros from the top spot, but after seeing the big fall finale to Venture Bros, the show is a solid number two, and knocking on the door. Again this week I find myself […]
