I’m a huge fan of the original CSI. I’ve watched the repeats so many times on Spike that I can usually figure out which epi it is in the first 5 minutes. I also watch CSI: NY, though not quite as obsessively (Mmmm, Eddie Cahill). But I have never been able to get through more than a few minutes of CSI: Miami, until last night. And I gotta tell you, it was NOT easy.
If you are a fan of CSI: Miami, you might want to wander off, because I’m probably about to insult you. How can anyone watch that crap!

CBS – CSI
NBC – The Office & 30 Rock
FOX – Fringe
ABC – Grey’s Anatomy
CW – Supernatural
And part of the season
USA – Burn Notice

Why does Joe Buck call baseball games for Fox? He makes it abundantly clear that he isn’t interested in the game – he couldn’t sound more bored. Except for when he is being sarcastic about the players, coaches, umpires, advertisers, and pretty much everything else. So why is Buck there? Do they not pay him enough for football? Does he just not want to go home?

While flipping through the channels last night, I settled on TLC for a few moments. In the corner of the screen was one of those constant, annoying text ads for an upcoming show. I find those ads moderately annoying (especially the USA ones with little tiny people running across the bottom of the screen – creepy!). But this one was worse – “Kate’s Story”, Monday night at 8 PM. Why?
• It’s sad that I know who “Kate” is, without even stopping to think about it.

I have been watching a lot of baseball and hockey this week, so my viewing schedule is a little off. But I am still incredulous (yes, incredulous!) that Mika wouldn’t go down the water slide on The Amazing Race. Listen, I’m not a big fan of heights myself, but it’s for a million dollars! And has she ever watched the show? Heights, water, tight spaces…it’s part of the deal.
Don’t even get me started on the fact that she was wearing swimmies.

It’s easy to think that for television to be intelligent, it has to be innovative or complicated. It has to blow your mind, or make you see something differently. But every once in awhile, a show comes along to remind you that intelligent can be fun. Case in point: Castle.
Wow, I love this show! The dialogue is natural and witty. The character portrayals are genuine, likable, and believable. The murder mystery that each episode is framed around is usually pretty easy to figure out, but the clues develop nicely and never insult the viewers’ intelligence. And I usually laugh out loud at least three or four times each episode.

I admit it, I fell for it. ABC said that Flash Forward would be perfect for Lost viewers. They teased me with glimpses into an intriguing mystery. And I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. I couldn’t wait for the first episode. I even tweeted a “Woot!” that morning. And then…
Thud.
Flash Forward is a derivative waste of time that Lost viewers were tricked into watching. There, I said it. My great hope, for a new addiction that could fill the conspiracy zones of my brain after Lost ends, has died. I am instead faced with a confusing, formulaic, poorly written mess with one dimensional characters and lazy writing. Pthth!
There was an international phenomenon where every person on the planet blacked out for 2 minutes. Millions were killed in the resulting accidents. The lead FBI office is basing their entire investigation on one agent’s flashforward of his case board six months from now. Which he was still studying at that point, so how useful could it be? Let me count the other ways Flash Forward has ticked me off:
