Latest episode clacks for this show:
Is there some significance to the fact that Stratton intimated to Gibbs that he knew about Gibbs’ big secret down in Mexico? Is that oldie about to come back again as well?
Is the current television season halfway through, or does it still have halfway to go? That’s my attempt at applying the glass half full/half empty concept to a television season. But with most shows on hiatus, I figured this was a good time to look back at the half-season that was.
After a five year break, ‘Fear Factor’ returned at the top of the NBC heap. Over on cable, a shocking finale for HBO’s ‘Boardwalk Empire’ meant good things for everyone. Well… everyone but that actor… that played that guy.
McGee and Tony’s cookie interrogation of the Russian they caught following Emma was hilarious. Of course it was completely absurd, but it was still lots of fun. And how long has it been since we last saw McGee interrogating a suspect?
The holiday week didn’t do any favors for the networks where ratings are concerned. Turkey day found plenty of shows ending up on the wrong side of the up/down scale, and NBC finishing in fifth place, three times.
Here’s a missed opportunity for you: while inputting cold cases, Tony could have stumbled across a case or some piece of information that he could have spent the entire season chasing down. Instead of giving him a long-arc story, they used it as a joke? Huh.
The future is looking bright for ‘Grimm’ (as bright as any future looks on NBC), as it finished first in the demo at 9 on Friday night. Over on cable, FX is celebrating as ‘Sons of Anarchy’ continues to score well while ‘American Horror Story’ finds a series high.
