Latest episode clacks for this show:
The big surprise on the networks came from the numbers for ABC’s Jaycee Dugard special, which easily outscored the MLB All-Star Game. Over on cable, another huge helping of summer premieres, including ‘Curb’, ‘Alphas’, ‘Warehouse 13′, ‘Eureka’, and ‘The Closer’.
I loved Mozzie pulling a “Scrooge McDuck” in order to help Scott disappear … ala Barney Stinson and the great job CBS does extending his — and his show’s — brand, wouldn’t it be awesome if Mozzie and Neal came out with a book of cons for the common man?
The holiday weekend meant a slow week, even by summer standards. The interesting stories come from how well ‘Falling Skies’ is holding up, and the possibility that ‘Rookie Blue’ has already earned a third season.
The “Draw me!” line was crazy corny, but in great ‘White Collar’ tradition, the scene in Neal’s apartment was done brilliantly. Neal, hiding in the observation room, sketched the Widow and snuck the picture out to Peter. I loved his inclusion of the engagement ring!
The big story for the week was the return of ‘True Blood’ on HBO, which remains the biggest hit the network has where ratings are concerned. On the broadcast networks, NBC unscripted continues to hold the lead.
It would have been worse had they ignored the blatant plagiarism, but I can’t believe that someone as awesome, smart, and creative as Mozzie would need to resort to stealing ideas from an old movie. I was really disappointed in Mozzie’s Ferris Bueller move.
I never made the connection when she appeared as the boss on ‘Criminal Minds’, but doesn’t Jayne Atkinson’s (Helen) managerial style remind you of an awful cross between Patty Hewes and Miranda Priestly?
