Weird thing - The Pryor special was listed in my program grid, but WNET aired a "Pioneers of Television" instead (the Funny Ladies one).

They've built up Bishop to be such an uberbad that they are going to have to get rid of him, or else he is going to poison anyone who was ever associated with him (which is the entire cast). I'm thinking in the penultimate spring ep, Kalinda will do a "You've got me cornered but ha-ha, I just pulled the pin" deal on…

CSI: Federation. But it looks like Kalinda forgot to put on her ears.

Agreed. Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Wallace Shawn can, dammit.

Bold story move — but this better not drag out with Cary being visited in prison for a year. The wrongly-imprisoned-Bates arc was one of the weaker aspects of Downton Abbey. Are they secretly preparing us for a double-exit from the show? Will season 7 (probably the last) go on without Cary as well as Kalinda? It…

This is the weekend I sort out all my holiday media, so I can prioritize what I'll try to fit on my laptop for the duration while I take it with me to visit the family. I'm also deciding what movies & TV to copy to the external drive that works with my pocket-sized media player, which also travels with me. This means…

Or Top "Scollop".

So, Gregory…into bear cubs? He certainly lingered over the cuteness of Doug in that one interview. Never took him for a pocket (gay) protector.

If he were Mr. Peter Citizen, nobody would care. But he's the Governor of Illinois and he keeps insisting publicly that his marriage is solid. By not being able to control his impulses, he's risking a lot more than just his reputation.

The easy fix would have been to transcribe the first take and have her memorize it. Being a trial lawyer, she can hit the emotional beats on cue, as with a closing argument. But that would have stopped the plot momentum, so they glossed over that fix.

I will defend "When I Was Cruel" to all comers.

Well, yes. But none of this is a revelation, to Alicia or to us as viewers. We all witnessed the worst of politics this past election season, and will continue to for some time to come. Candidates never stop running after they win — the re-election campaign begins the day after Election Day. As a result, states and…

I kind of am too. He's too omni as a villain. This is Chicago, nobody's that polite while being that evil.

Only in a couple of group scenes at Stan's funeral/reading of the will. Otherwise she only appeared with Mullaly, Hayes and John Cleese.

I can't really follow you on your assessment of Boston sports and sports fans. The fans themselves don't always come into play in these challenges; half the time, it's just the show's little family inhabiting an empty stadium or arena, like the U.S. Open challenge during All-Stars.

Something huge kept me from liking this episode. It was the fact that an issue like Monsanto's complete raping of US agriculture was used in such a casual, almost sitcom-y manner. Monsanto can't be that bad, after all they're run by John-Boy, and he was willing to forgive the poor farmer who was the only one making…

They're thinking too hard. Just start with Nut X.

Season 11 — 8 strong ingredients badly mixed together, and at the end all you taste is Jon Lovitz and burning. .

And crushed potato chips, metallically-encased malt beverage, and fried chicken embryos.

There's the A-list, the B-list, the C-list, and Kathy Griffin's D-list…I hearby invent a new designation for all the publicity-hungry names like Rinna, Bach, and anyone else y'all would care to add to the list who are perpetual participants in every celeb-driven reality show produced: the R-list. (p.s., to all those…
