The Good Guys, “$3.52″
Based on the production code information found on Wikipedia, this was originally going to be the second episode of The Good Guys. It feels like a second episode.
Lie to Me, “React to Contact”
I imagine that there were some new people tuning into Lie to Me last night thanks to guest appearances from geek friendly performers Enver Gjokaj (Dollhouse) and Alona Tal (Veronica Mars, Supernatural). It’s actually too bad that those new folks were presented with the weakest Lie to Me effort since its summer return.
The List: Ranking the episodes of The Office — Tier 1 [Episodes 23-1]
I’ve been re-watching The Office on DVD this summer in hopes of reminding me how good the series once was. I’ve accomplished that completely, but with TVS in mind, I’m always thinking about how I transfer what I’m watching into some sort of post or feature or whatever else.

Surveillance Summer Watch, Sons of Anarchy: One down, one to go
If you’d like to check out previous posts in this series, visit the Surveillance Summer Watch page. I’ve had a lot of balls in the air recently, which have prevented me from getting through my viewing of Sons of Anarchy.

Steve Carell reaffirms his decision to leave The Office — What’s next?
A few months back, Steve Carell sent the internet into a tailspin when he mentioned on BBC Radio that the upcoming season of The Office would be his last. Eventually, we all calmed down and assumed NBC would figure out a way to bring him back. Or at least we convinced ourselves of that. Turns … Read more
Party Down, “Constance Carmell Wedding”

But I’m also sad because although I knew the production team didn’t write “Constance Carmell Wedding” … Read more
Entourage, “Stunted”
Full disclosure: I hate Entourage. The series rose to heights right when I was perfectly in the demographic wheelhouse, so in seasons one, two and three, I thought it was great. And maybe it was.* I also tore through those seasons quickly on DVD so it didn’t seem anything but a fun few hours with … Read more
True Blood, “It Hurts Me, Too”
I was actually able to watch True Blood live tonight, but I’m not sure that made me feel any differently about the episode. “It Hurts Me, Too” was just as busy, just as ridiculous and sometimes just as boring as the first two efforts. I wish I felt better about the first three episodes, but … Read more
