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.

Only one more woman advanced to the final ten on ‘Last Comic Standing’. Grr! And, at least to me, the clear winner already emerges….

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’.

Each week I review a show that’s new to me. Good idea, or punishment (mine or yours)? You be the judge. But either way, if I had to watch it, the least you can do is read what I have to say….

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.

Marriage proposals, crazy beards, extortion, and dudes getting beaten half to death with golf clubs. It all sounds like a pretty typical day in ‘Weeds’-ville, but season 5 is definitely starting to look up for me.
