"House M.D." Season 8, Episode 4: Let's just blame the stock market


I liked this week's episode. I wanted to like it even more. But that's the silly thing about TV. Sometimes they have to have that thing that holds a show together in between the ha-has and the witty dialogue, between the medical drama, monkey...

"Two and a Half Men" Season 9, Episode 7: Attack of the uber-cougars


"Two and Half Men" just can't let go of Charlie Sheen. My original thought was that they would keep him around in the dust buster, to talk to and laugh at every once in a while. Maybe crack some more jokes at his expense here and there. I...

"South Park" Season 15, Episode 12: Occupy the restroom!


Poor Cartman. Usually the one throwing the insults, this week was a giant blow to the overweight and rabble-rousing force behind many of "South Park's" more extreme moments. And, in true "South Park" form, it came with a take on the Occupy...

"CSI" Season 12, Episode 6: Now with extra magnifying glasses


I think "CSI" may have found a Vegas attraction it hasn't been to yet: enter Major Willie's (no relation, I assure you) touring carnival freak show.
The deceased this week was found loaded with giant gauge needles, and the first hunch was...

“Two and a Half Men” Season 9, Episode 8: Crazy is as Charlie does


Apparently this was deal-with-it week on "Two and a Half Men." Alan (Jon Cryer) actually dealt with Charlie's death. Walden (Ashton Kutcher) dealt with an entire show without his annoying high-pitched cries. And people who have dealt with the...

“House M.D.” Season 8, Episode 5: Meet the new team, just like the old team


Sound the horn for the return of the prodigal sons: Chase (Jesse Spencer) and Taub (Peter Jacobson) are back. Chase hasn't changed much, except for his slight beard, but Taub came with two babies in tow, setting him right up for a paternity...

"South Park" Season 15, Episode 13: Attack the stuffing mines!

Well, there's usually at least one low point in every "South Park" run, and this week didn't do it for me.
It was a funny concept, but it seemed the longer the episode went on the more it got caught up in itself and stopped being funny. And, it...

"CSI" Season 12, Episode 7: That ol' brain drain

This week "CSI" was a bundle of ideas thrown together in a lightning fast explosion...

"Two and a Half Men" Season 9, Episode 9: Creative Writing Rule Number One

It's never a dream. Never. No matter what you are doing, the answer should never ever in a million years be it was all a dream. It's lazy, sophomoric, and just plain cheap.
Sorry to ruin it for you, but most of this week's episode was just that:...

"House M.D." Season 8, Episode 6: I took a break from Zelda for this?

How often does your job coincide perfectly with the problems you are having in your personal life?
Apparently it happens almost every week for the gang at Princeton-Plainsboro.
House (Hugh Laurie) won't get off Taub's (Peter Jacobson) back over...

"South Park" Season 15 Finale: Joe Paterno walks into a police station...

How time flies. We've already hit the finale for the 15th season of "South Park," and it succeeded in going out on a much better note then it started off on. � 
The show followed up last week's not-so-topical early Thanksgiving and "Thor"...

"CSI" Season 12, Episode 8: Ménage à trois

I liked this week's episode too much to hold back, so a spoiler warning for those who haven't seen it yet.
This week "CSI" came out with guns a blazing: Three cases, several twists, and packing excitement the show hasn't had in some time.
We...

"Two and a Half Men" Season 9, Episode 10: My precious


I wish I could put my finger on it, but I didn't hate this week's episode as much as I have hated the show this season. Perhaps this week just seemed to have more of a natural flow. Perhaps some on-screen chemistry is finally developing. Or...

"House M.D." Season 8, Episode 7: A limp in the right direction


This week's episode of "House M.D." started with the mad doctor himself rubbing his leg. Now, we haven't seen him pop a pain pill since he's been out of the big house, so I'm betting this is some Grade-A foreshadowing.
But for now, we got to...

House M.D. Season 8, Episode 8: And now, a limp in the wrong direction

After a good episode last week, "House M.D." finished out the first half of the season with a lackluster stumble across the finish line.
The show started with some good legal battling, before one of the lawyers was rushed to the hospital...
