Practically the entire CBS prime date line up was attending the all-stars outdoor party on the Wadsworth Theatre Great Lawn in Brentwood, Calif. on Thursday night.

But I only had one objective: form peace with the gang from How I Met Your Mother (and TVSquad readers) for lost the casual p…

Filed under: NCIS, Episode Reviews(S04E24) CBS has been teasing that episode for a couple weeks now, with promises of secrets being revealed. They did get to the big one, though that was more of a confirmation of what we already expected. Overall though, I think they oversold it. Another case of the…

“Angel of Death” - As the NCIS Director returns from a controversial European junket, and Gibbs and his agents reluctantly prepare for hastily announced Homeland Security polygraph tests, tightly woven secrets among the team unravel, revealing the biggest surprise in this Season of Secrets. In …

With it being the end of the season, and the plan already in place to invent that a two parter, I would have rather seen something that focused in on the big stories. Not that the story was hard to follow, just that it seemed poorly conceived. The brief phone conversations amidst Gibbs and Shepard…

Sources at both TVGuide and Variety are reporting that showrunner Donald P. Bellisario will be stepping away from his series NCIS. Bellisario is the creative genius behind the series and others such as the long-running JAG, but apparently he’s a bit too intense for his own good.

Series star M…

Gibbs has baggage, and a lot of it. The issues he has with making a more official commitment to his relationship with Hollis (Susana Thompson) didn’t come as a surprise. They both are facing big decisions where the women in their lives are concerned. Over the last 90 episodes we have learned plen…

It’s that time of year, time for all good TV series (and a few bad ones) to come to an end.  CBS has been kind enough to put together a grid that shows the date and description of each season finale and some have a video preview.

On Numb3rs, the brothers stand off against an expert bomber and en…

I enjoy the stand alone episodes while we wait. Filed under: NCIS, Episode Reviews(S04E21) This week the NCIS team managed to put the viewer in the same position as Jenny. NCIS is a mostly stand alone show, with serial elements. I’ve been waiting anxiously for the last half of the season to get s…

With that in mind, whether you would have told me that we were going to get a stand alone episode that didn’t get into any of the big seasonal stories, I doubt I would have been excited about it. I always like when they gang up on him. Credit to team NCIS that they have created an arc that has fol…

There were a lot of other things to like about that installment. The magic door was plus a fun twist, and made even more so thanks to Tony’s scene both discovering it, and trying to defeat it.Continue reading NCIS: Grace PeriodPermalink | Email this | Comments I saw that Scottie…

Between the loan shark, the shady freight carrier, and the return of Mike Franks (Muse Watson), it was a complicated affair. The various previews I saw kept mentioning “a connection to Gibbs’ past.” Now, that’s some of the good stuff that I think a lot of fans are waiting for. Filed under: Other D…

I thought he was very good here, really pulling off creepy serial butcher. While the who wasn’t really a big question, the why was much more interesting, and that little twist at the end came as a bit of a surprise. There wasn’t a lot of mystery surrounding the whodunit that week. I didn’t suspec…

Their bickering and fighting has proved quite entertaining in the past, but as season four has progressed, things have slowly been changing. Filed under: Other Drama Shows, CBS, NCIS(S04E16) Those crafty NCIS writers kind of slipped a little something in there that week. I’m referring to the ever …

It’s ok though, considering while it was open and shut, that was an interesting case.What really sold the mystery for me was the way it was presented. It had the bonus of putting us in the same situation, considering we couldn’t get a feel for the suspects.Continue reading NCIS: Friends and LoversP…

Having the tip come from Ziva’s Mossad connections put it out of Shepard’s court.The thing that surprised me most about all of it was the revelation that Gibbs has been in the dark the whole day. We finally got some answers concerning what Director Shepard has been doing with Tony for the last few …

Both have their pluses and minuses. Col. Hollis Mann (Susanna Thompson, pictured) . Filed under: Other Drama Shows, CBS, NCIS(S04E13) There has been quite a bit of talk that season about serial dramas versus their stand-alone episode counterparts. A very serial drama will tend to inspire more lo…

The kick off to the new season of the show averaged 37 million viewers. That is a premiere record for the series. That is, of course, dwarfed by the Idol performance, but plus very close to the performance of both shows when not facing Idol. It’s a good sign for CBS.[ thanks Ben ]Permalink |…
