Latest episode clacks for this show:
While former Agent Reese goes undercover as an armored car guard, his past comes back to haunt him.
Each month I review an aspect of Pop Culture. This week, I compare CBS’ first-year ‘Person of Interest’ with USA’s sixth-year ‘Burn Notice.’ Both shows cover ex-CIA spies who save innocents on a local level. Are they really all that different?
Who is the most awesome spy currently on TV today? Is it Michael Westen (‘Burn Notice’), John Reese (‘Person of Interest’), Archer (‘Archer’), the Nikita crew, the ‘Covert Affairs’ gang OR is it IWCA agent Perry the Platypus (‘Phineas & Ferb’)?
Things are very good for the denizens of Westeros. HBO’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ returned for season two at series high levels. The news wasn’t so good for the other big cable premiere for the week, ‘The Killing’. That was was down from the end of the first season.
The big story last week was the premiere of ‘Mad Men’, which returned from an extended hiatus to record viewing levels. Over on the networks, week two of ‘Touch’ raises some questions and the prospects for ‘Community’ continue to improve.
Premieres for ‘GCB’ and ‘Breaking In’ came in at somewhat less than ABC and FOX might have been hoping for, falling well short of a repeat ‘Big Bang’ on CBS. Over on cable, the premiere of “Breakout Kings’ did nothing to slow down the ‘Walking Dead’ juggernaut.
The big news on the networks was ‘American Idol’ falling to third place in viewers and the demo. Over on cable, the premiere of ‘Eastbound & Down’ could do nothing to stop the freight train that is AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’.
