CBS announced it’s sked today, and The Big Bang Theory is moving to 9:30 on Mondays, behind Two and A Half Men ( still won’t watch that). HIMYM is taking over the 8:00 spot TBBT has had all season.
Oh, and Criminal Minds was on the sked, same place, same time.

Mini Reviews and Recaps and other crap on my mind

The Big Bang Theory- a bit of a let down considering the glorioski ending of the Christmas/Saturnalia episode, but still, nothing better than Sheldon running down the hallway shreiking ” Don’t hurt us! Don’t hurt us! DON’T HURT US!”. BTW, the guy who plays Kripke- yes, I know people who are pissed about the ” [...]

Quotes of 2008

”It’s very simple. Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and, as it always has, rock crushes scissors.”
—Sheldon (Jim Parsons), explaining his new game of Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock, on The Big Bang Theory

The Top Ten Television Shows And Moments of 2008

10.  The season nine premiere of CSI
I stopped watching after Tarantino made a mark and other shows popped up. But the news Gary Dourdan was leaving was enough to make me tune in and see the cast actually act for what seems like the first time in four seasons. Emotionally charged, and William Peterson reminding [...]

RECAP AND REVIEW- Criminal Minds 4-07 ” Memorium”

Emmy.
That’s my word and I’m sticking to it.
Jane Lynch deserves a freaking Emmy.
Those of us who spend way too much time watching movies by… say… Christopher Guest… are very familiar with funny Jane Lynch, who was delightful in Best In Show and A Mighty Wind ( one of my top twenty movies of all time- [...]

RECAP AND REVIEW- Criminal Minds 4-06 ” The Instincts”

The only episodes I have trouble with on CM are the ones featuring children. ” What Fresh Hell”, ” P911″, ” Seven Seconds”- each of these episodes deals with a missing child, and as a mom, it freaks me out. ” Seven Seconds” was particularly frightening- my middle daughter was six at the time it [...]

RECAP AND REVIEW- Criminal Mind 4-05 ” Catching Out”

There seems to be an obsession this year with California and Nevada and CM. Last week we were in the Tahoe area, this week in the Modesto, central Cali farmlands, and next two will take us to Vegas, as they are both Reid-centric and Diana and William both pop up. Hmmmsies.
But let’s not get ahead [...]

Mopey Time, As I Have Nothing I Want To Do At This Moment Except Clean, And I Don’t Wanna

Confession time:
A) I bought all three episodes of Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog- Neil Patrick Harris, how I wish you were straight, but I’ll settle with you being my GBFF- but… I haven’t found time to watch them yet. I am a horrible, horrible person. Whedon fans, throw me out of the club. I deserve [...]

RECAP AND REVIEW- Criminal Minds 4-04 ” Paradise” WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EPISODES SIX AND SEVEN

First, before I launch into my weekly love fest of the CM world, let me just say that the most devastating news this week is Johnny Marr denying a Smiths reunion. Damn it! I want to see Moz and Marr live, together, singing ” There Is A Light That Never Goes Out”, which my friends [...]

I Noticed Something…

Checking my blog traffic today, I notice spikes every time I mention Criminal Minds, Matthew Gray Gubler, and David Cook. So, in order to keep you coming back, here are my gratuitous mentions of Criminal Minds, Matthew Gray Gubler, and David Cook. And for good measure, I’ll throw in Jason Segel, even though you really [...]

REVIEW AND RECAP- Criminal Minds 4-03 ” Minimal Loss”

I’m trying not to die of joy due to recently released spoilers about episode seven. Reid- William Reid… you have some explaining to do…
I guess it’s safe to say that any episode that features Dr. Spencer Reid gets an automatic love note from me, seeing as I adore Matthew Gray Gubler. But the truth is [...]

RECAP AND REVIEW- Criminal Minds 4-02 ” The Angel Maker”

As I stated in my previous CM review and recap, last season was great but uneven at times. Season four started off with a bang last week, but this episode brings me back to the undisputed highlights for me of previous seasons- the last two episodes of season one, episodes 14 to 18 of season [...]

RECAP & REVIEW: Criminal Minds 4-01 ” Mayhem”

I have been mocked relentlessly by TV snobs about my deep affection ( alright, outright obsession… so what?) for this dark cop show. And really, in the scheme of things, Criminal Minds is just that- a cop show. Is it really all that different thematically from Hill Street Blues and Dragnet?
But back to the mocking. [...]
