    Feb 8 episode - Cuddy

    Liked most of it -- I am in love with Lisa Edelstein -- but thought ending was too pat.

    NUMB3RS

    But they are the leads; they are essential. Take them away and the show falls apart. Where you could remove the character of Alan -- unfortunate though it would be -- and life would go on.

    NUMB3RS

    Alan though is a "hub" or "nexus" character - it seems that all the characters' plot lines run through or have the capacity to run through him. And this works, because it avoids that lame literary device of 'Isn't it a coincidence that so-and-so just so happens to have this relationship with...

    NUMB3RS

    Since the show's plot lines are so intense, you need a character like Larry to give the viewer a breather. But although he's a good character, it would be easy to introduce another "de-pressurizer." I'd do it from another angle, however, not as another professor, for example.

    Flash Forward

    Well, what else is there for this show? To make this work, Braga and Goyer should resort to the kinds of plot devices that kept shows like The X Files and yes, BSG going: action stories similar to the trip to the small town and meeting the sheriff in the second episode; and post-blackout life...

    Flash Forward

    After two episodes, I feel compelled to keep watching, but am wary of this becoming a soap opera. I don't really care about the characters yet. To me, it seems that viewers would expect to see a world changed more dramatically by the blackout -- I'm not getting that sense that a big WHOA! has...

    'Survivor' contestant Elizabeth Kim says racism was hardest challenge on CBS reality

    I wish the article followed up the lede by asking her to provide examples. Had I been Richard Huff's editor (I was a newspaper editor for 17 years), I would have pressed him for examples. Seeing none, I would have firmly requested that he rewrite it. One reason newspapers are losing...

    Monk

    It's hard to prevent any TV series from succumbing to hardening of the arteries. That's because producers are constantly wrestling with the creative dilemma: if we make changes we may kick some life into the show but we may risk losing our dedicated audience. With Monk, I would probably have...

    Interesting series remake!

    Don't remember the series too well but I seem to remember that there were two different actors playing Sean, one on the first mini series and one on V - The Final Battle. If I remember correctly, the youngster playing Sean on Final Battle had the role of one of Sean's friends on the original V.

    Which Broadcast Evening News Do You Watch?

    Ever since the nets have gone to the Network model of infotainment, I have been watching TV news less and less. TV news has always been about "If it bleeds, it leads," but except during obvious periods of major stories, such as elections, there's more celeb/goofy/shopping than ever. No thanks!
