Better With You’s Moments of Goodness: Wrestling and Christmas Cards
I’m really enjoying this show. I like that these three couples are in such different places of their lives together. And I fully support Maddie and Ben’s non-marital commitment. It is a valid choice.
Castle’s Two Moments of Goodness: Castle Comforts Mom and Challenges Daughter
I finally watched the last two episodes of Castle and as usual, they were solid hours of entertainment. Much is said and written about the chemistry between Castle and Beckett. The two extremely sexy investigators are meant to be together and I’m just waiting for that moment to happen. I…
Moment of Goodness: Jane Goes Psychic to Try and Save His Friend on The Mentalist
“The Blood on his Hands†ended up being another stellar hour of The Mentalist primarily because it continued the Red John saga. Malcolm McDowell returned in this episode to portray the cult leader, Bret Stiles, who slightly bested Jane the last time they met. He was definitely a formidable adversary for Jane. We…
Moment of Goodness: Catching Up on Bones
I’m trying to catch up on the considerable amount (85 hours. How did that happen? Some of it might be leftovers from summer…) of television on my DVR. In an effort to make sure to hit some of the highlights, I’ve chosen two moments of goodness from the last two…
Safe Haven: Syfy Renews Haven

Deja View: Life Unexpected’s Emma Caulfield

Moment of Goodness: New Characters Add New Life to Desperate Housewives

Moment of Goodness: Gibbs & Fornell – NCIS’ Odd (and Cranky) Couple
In an episode that featured Tony’s quest to become the cover boy for an NCIS recruitment magazine; Tony’s cardboard cutout getting Gibbs-slapped; and Abby referring to Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard’s autopsy lab as “the Duck pond;” the standout scenes in “Short Fuse” actually had to do with cranky pals Gibbs…
Moment of Goodness: The Good Wife’s Will and Alicia at a Court Martial
Their dynamic continues to fascinate me. Alicia feels that there is still something between them – even though Will is giving her almost no reason to hope – and she can’t let it go. I’m sure Will is regretting telling Alicia he loves her (well, her cell phone) since she…
Glee’s Moment of Goodness: Kurt’s “You had me at Church†Hat
There were a lot of great moments in tonight’s episode and I will admit to crying at least four separate times. I’m not ashamed. And if anyone ever thought Chris Colfer’s Emmy nomination was a fluke (not me) I think he just proved again tonight why he deserved it (yeah, haters!). I’ve…
