A quick note about Monday's House finale (with spoilers):

Whoa, what a gutwrencher! Lauren and I both thought we wouldn't want to be woken up to be told we were going to die, like Cuddy insisted Wilson do for Amber, but that's just our selfishness. Amber's death scene was the first and last time I actually liked her; well, the whole two-episode arc ( Read more... )

Three days, three trainings at work, Tuesday through Thursday this week. I had a lot of copying, cleaning and setting up to do, especially yesterday when Cheryl was out. Today Cheryl and I "blitzed" the copy room (to use a word I learned in England, meaning to totally clean beyond all reason) since Maria commented on its sorry state. Granted, we've ( Read more... )

How long til the next season of Top Model can rinse our eyes and minds of that horrible, eventually predictable finale and the least deserving winner since...well, Jaslene, I guess?

While Desperate Housewives has a great theme track by Danny Elfman, they almost never play the whole title anymore. Same with Grey's Anatomy, which had the only acceptable Dido song and a very clever visual title. CSI of course is the cleverest ("Who Are You ( Read more... )

I'd like to say now that both my mother (very discerning mother) and I think Samantha Who? (9:30pm Mondays, ABC) is the best new sitcom in years and one of the best new TV shows in years as well. Every scene was good, well written and funny. Christina Applegate looks good and is surprisingly funny, and Jean Smart looks great for her advanced age. ( Read more... )

Honorable Mentions: CSI, "Go to Hell" (9:00pm Thursday, CBS)
Nicely intense episode with a killer ending (ex-pedophile pastor throws young sexually precocious girl over balcony as exorcism) and an interesting new character on Sara's swing shift.
