Of course, Cuddy was little more than a pinup doll even at the best of times.  Her only purpose in the show was to scissor her legs around the office, lean over just so to show off her cleavage to House and half the hospital, and issue imperial decrees to House that House would promptly ignore.  She's not exactly a…

@avclub-0da7b2945e9148fed0a61ba72bfb017e:disqus They do?  Where?

The hero/heroine's romantic rival recurring guest star who just so happens to have been Evil All Along is one of the worst Hollywood cliches.  Likewise for the hero/heroine's old friend/partner/quasi-mentor figure.  Plus, I like Jennifer Beals, a lot more than I give a shit about Castle/Rick Castle/Beckett, so no…

Crawford wasn't really a screwup.  The officer's partner takes precedence over any other considerations, especially when that partner is out of contact and chasing after a possibly armed, probably dangerous murder suspect.

Eh, maybe it's the benefit of hindsight, but Thirteen was never as annoying as Adams was.  Possibly because Thirteen was the focus of a coherent seasons long character arc which eventually gave us the single most character development for any character for House.  Adams is seeming a lot more like Cameron at the…

Eh, Anawalt gave him a McD's application.  So I'd say that his work-flirting kinda sucks.

Eh, only if he could bring Maria Bello with him.  I could watch a show that was nothing but the two of them walking up and down the street interviewing people.

To be fair to Ben (Sherman), he did see his life flash before his eyes there with the bat.  That'd understandably be a bit of a trauma.

Sorry, what I meant to say was that, during the latter part of Prime Suspect's run when it was receiving next to no marketing, it was still hitting around a 1.2.  I think it was holding on to a 1.3/3 for most of the season even after NBC washed its hands of the show.

Prime Suspect was doing 1.2s with absolutely no marketing from NBC.

Probably shoulda kept Prime Suspect, NBC, don't you think?

Maybe she finally made it to SWAT?  She'd been trying to get that transfer for a while, now.

Burn Notice is authentic?
This is, if I remember correctly, the same show that referred to CIA Officer Dani(elle?) Pearce as an "Agent" since almost the entirety of Season 5.  If Max had a title instead of just being "Max", he'd probably also have been an "Agent".

"to utilize his new friend in the CIA (who after this week's shennanigans should probably bury him out in the everglades)"
This still an option?

The moral obstacle?

The biggest problem I had with the Foreman/Thirteen (well, it's one of several) is that it brought to light several potential items for character development and growth for Foreman that got completely neglected.  Which made the entire thing a complete waste.  And, well, that as adept as House is at analyzing the…

I'm trying to think of a currently-running drama on network that is better than Prime Suspect.  Maybe a show which the reviewer could even slightly consider a "Good show".  I'm trying, and I'm failing horribly.  NCIS sucks.  The spinoff sucks.  All the CSI's suck.  Blue Bloods sucks.  Person of Interest sucks.…

Better yet, just have Jai shoot Annie, get placed on the fast track for Section Chief somewhere in Southeast Asia, and call it a show.

But they've been KGB/SVR moles, not Al Qaeda ones.  The KGB had much, much more money available to throw at prospective traitors than Al Qaeda does.  And said moles were turned, and THEN obtained high level positions in the CIA or SIS.

Eh, that's a bit too much like 24, isn't it?  No moles in the CIA please.  Or if there has to be one, make it one of those faceless mid-level support staffers nobody pays attention to rather than a career intelligence officer turned Division Chief whose entire LIFE is the Company.
