What's playing in the Media Room - October 5th 2010

Happy new episode of Glee day! Another crammed Monday night last night,
I was able to catch up on some of my CW shows last night. I'm losing
interest in Nikita fast and my interest in Vampire Diaries is levelling
out a bit. To the producers of How I Met Your Mother, umm, another
stinker last night. I realize that you're building Ted up to be in the
right place at the right time for when he meets Jennifer Morrison. But
good lord to you have to make it so boring. I found House interesting
last night, well I find the Huddy thing interesting, didn't find the
medical case interesting at all. Ratings wise last night, Chuck picked
up a few thousand to 5.37, The Event, yikes, you really better start
worrying. The NBC dropped almost 1.5 million last night down to 7.46.
Not looking good.

But let's look at tonight


No Ordinary Family - 8:00 - ABC - Season 1 Episode 2

Episode Title: No Ordinary Marriage

Jim attempts to track down some elusive bank robbers, Stephanie looks
into discovering the source of the family's newly acquired powers, and
Daphne, trying to find a way keep the voices in her head from drowning
out her ability to read minds, discovers that JJ has become a super
genius but is hiding it from the family. Meanwhile Jim and Stephanie not
only keep their powers a secret from the world but from each other too,
as Stephanie discovers Jim has become a crime fighter and Jim finds out
that Stephanie has used her new power of speed - after promising not to.

After watching the pilot I'm still not sure about this show. I want it
to be a geeky superhero show, but I don't think that's the route we're
going here.


NCIS - 8:00 - CBS - Season 8 Episode 3

The NCIS team has to work with the FBI when they learn that a female
bomb tech is linked to a murder.

tension in the house, while another group of players form a secret

and later, trainer Jillian Michaels tries to bring out the athlete in
two contestants she thinks need extra attention. Tennis superstar Anna
Kournikova gives all the players tennis lessons for a total body workout
before a tennis ball pop challenge. Then the players are surprised by
another early weigh-in, and those who fall below the yellow line face a
wild elimination challenge involving 175 tons of sand before another
contestant is send home.

Finn has an existential crisis when he believes he sees the face of
Jesus in his grilled cheese sandwich. Meanwhile, the rest of the kids
rally around Kurt after he has a crisis of his own that leads to a
larger discussion among the group about their own theology.

Judging by the previews I saw for this last week, get out the tissue box
as it looks like it's going to be a very emotional episode.


One Tree Hill - 8:00 - The CW - Season 8 Episode 4

Episode Title: We All Fall Down

Brooke deals with the mounting financial toubles at Clothes Over Bros.
Nathan and Haley come to a conclusion regarding Nathan's career. Julian

Season 8? Really?

voting. The couple with the lowest combined total will be eliminated.

Season 11? Really?

When Jimmy "teaches" Hope to crawl, the family must baby-proof the house

Virginia is a hoarder and has been saving junk in the storage shed,
which becomes Hope's favorite new hiding place. This leads Virginia to
realize that she may have to change her ways. Meanwhile, Jimmy makes
frequent unnecessary trips to the grocery store to see Sabrina.

I'm enjoying this one, I hope it sticks around. It gets a good lead-in
show with Glee.


Life Unexpected - 9:00 - The CW - Seaosn 2 Episode 4

Episode Title: Team Rebounded

Cate tries to improve her rocky work relationship with Ryan by bonding
with Ryan's new radio partner, Kelly. Cate's plan goes awry when Kelly
reveals one of Cate's secrets to Ryan. Meanwhile, Tasha makes an
unexpected return to Portland and tells Lux that she will be living with
a new foster family. Math has a crush on Paige, and Baze convinces Math

For some reason this show gets a lot of hype on the internet, not sure
why.

Ugh.

straightforward as it appears. The victim was a squatter in Brush Park.
Stone and Sanchez are working on the case of a murdered teenager found
with his father who although severely beaten is still alive. The case
uncovers a scam involving vintage cars.

I'm really enjoying the cast on this one and the stories have been
pretty good, nothing new here. But still entertaining.


The Good Wife - 10:00 - CBS - Season 2 Episode 2

Episode Title: Double Jeopardy

Cary tries to stack the deck against Alicia during the trial of an Army

news about divorce rate. Meanwhile, Sarah sees Drew with a girl and
offers him unwanted advice. Haddie runs for student council president
and gets the family to help her. Crosby learns a very important lesson
about being a father.

Hasn't performed very well this season and ratings are starting to get
quite low on this. I'm wondering if fans picked this last year and
caught up on The Good Wife during the off-season after hearing all the
acclaim The Good Wife got last year and didn't go back to Parenthood.


Sons of Anarchy - 10:00 - FX Network - Season 3 Episode 5

leadership, while Daniel has a meeting with the Ha'La'Tha, where he
seeks support for creating a virtual afterlife.

Tuesday nights are getting busier and that's not good, the second day of
the week I'm falling behind fast. Just from last night I've got to
watch The Event and Castle. Plus I still need to catch up on Sunday
night's US Cable shows. Oh Dexter, please be better. Tonight I'm
looking at: No Ordinary Family, Glee, Raising Hope, Detroit 187,
Parenthood, Sons of Anarchy.

Enjoy the night!
