Weekly TV rundown
What does a bad Arrested Development episode look like? I don’t know. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one.Boston Legal—As much as I love this show and David Kelley, there’s something wrong with the fact that I feel the need to completely skip over scenes dealing with the B or C storyline because it’s crazy and redundant. Though this isn’t the way that the show has gone, Kelley is really at his best when he’s writing serious, dualistic arguments about issues that are moving forward to the zeitgeist of the nation.
Gilmore Girls—Love the Rory and Lorelai being separated thing, but if this is the way Palladino wants to handle it, I’m ready to check out. The only way to make this storyline work is to have Emily in the middle of it. Her being in Europe isn’t being in the middle.
Nip/Tuck—a foursome and a frat prank where guys are superglued to somebody’s butt? Tacky for even this show.
Lost—Umm, I was actually disappointed. Not in the explanation of the hatch but in Locke’s flashback story. Though, loved the whole “turn the tables” thing with the other captives.
Veronica Mars---It was-----who knows? It wasn’t on out here because of baseball. (Bitter doesn’t even begin to describe the emotions I was feeling when I “had” to turn over and watch Lost live.) All I’m saying is after you show Charisma Carpenter in that outfit last week, it’s really wrong to then turn around and not let me have this week’s fix. (It’s going to reair Saturday, but still. Who wants to wait that long?)
Now bring on a pregnant Syd and Everwood!

Please tell me you're kidding about "Arrested." The three episodes I've seen this season have all been extremely weak. The rythm of the show just seems a little off kilter to me...I don't think all the story lines have the strength that they've had in seasons past. I do like Tobias trying to grow hair to become a "leading man."
I think Gob needs to do more than avoid his son every show. One of the things I loved about last season, the competition between Gob & Michael for control of the Bluth company. Will Arnett makes ANYTHING funny, but he's not being used well yet.
And I don't think the Lucille story lines have been as good lately either...although exploring her 32-year battle with postpartum depression was hysterical.
And the sooner Charlize "Bad British Accent" Theron is off the show, the better. The "For British Eyes Only" thing is getting tired already. Although I do have to admit, I liked seeing Charlize cramming donuts in her mouth at the "American diner" with Michael. And Buster attacking her seal backpack!? HUH?!
Also, I hope we get to see more of Bob Loblaw.
