Moving Pictures Preview: Jail Time on H50, The Mentalist and House
Warning: Slight Spoilers Ahead Here’s a little bit of a trend: three of Fall TV’s hottest characters start off their respective seasons behind bars. Sexy and in trouble with the law. How are these characters going to get out of jail and back to work solving cases of the criminal…
The Last Straw: If Lisa Edelstein Won’t Be Around for Season 8 of House, Neither Will I
Sometimes it takes so little to push you over the edge and today the news that Lisa Edelstein won’t be returning to House it what did it for me. Full disclosure: I’ve been thinking a lot about breaking with House recently. I haven’t even watched this week’s episode because I’m not convinced…
Premature Infatuation: Alcatraz
UPDATED: This pilot has now been ordered to series. Yay! So now I have a few months before my premature infatuation might become a plain old infatuation. If you’re anything like us, you pay a lot of attention during pilot season. I like to track which of my favorite actors…
It Was So Good to See You (Week of April 18)
The past week on TV had a lot of familiar faces show up, starting with actor Jeff Kober playing a convicted prisoner on Breakout Kings on April 17. Jeff is probably best known for his role on China Beach, but he got his first big break on the 1980’s soap…
House “Bombshells”
Wow. I did not see that coming. Even though I’ve speculated about the demise of Huddy (in fact, I did that earlier today), I’m not sure I thought it would happen this soon. Yes, I was unhappy that House was acting like such an adolescent – never putting Cuddy’s needs…
We Need To Know: Is This The End for Huddy on House?
Let me set the record straight right now: I am a Huddy-shipper. I was so excited – especially after ALL that buildup – when these two got together. It’s nice to see House happy but as he said in last week’s episode, it seems to be making him a bad…
Guest Star Goodness: The Good Wife, “Net Worth” and “Silver Bullet”

Character Development: House’s Wilson Fetish Will Never Be Over

Guest Star Goodness: Castle “Knockdownâ€
There was so much goodness going on in tonight’s episode. I’m going to take a step back from all the major stuff (Beckett gets one step closer to her mother’s killer; THE KISS; Esposito and Ryan almost die; THE KISS) to focus on faces we don’t see every week on…
Guest Star Goodness: House “Larger Than Life”
It’s not every day Candice Bergen makes a guest appearance on a TV show. It’s been way too long since she’s been on the small screen (I didn’t watch Boston Legal so in my eyes that doesn’t count) and I’ve missed her terribly. It was also good to see Matthew Lillard…

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…

3 Moments of Goodness from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Johnny and Dora”
The most satisfying part of this season’s finale has to the Jake and Amy kiss. Well, they kiss three times but the last one is the best one — and it means something. The Charles and Rosa dynamic was also great. I love how she’s convinced he doesn’t know anything…
