The Beast Season 1 Episode 1 (S01E01)


Can someone tell me what that was all about? I must say this was the weirdest TV experience so far. First off Patrick Swayze, just seeing him in a TV show is plain weird and beside that kind of seeing him in a scenes makes you think of him in Dirty Dancing. And I do admit that Dirty Dancing is one of favorite movies. So watching him is like every scene you expect him to start dancing or Baby showing up any moment. I would say for about the first half of the show I had no clue what was going and what the whole story behind the show is. I guess if you didn't make it through the show you still have no clue. One part of the show is about a undercover FBI operation that is focused on finding out if Charles Barker (Patrick Swayze) is a rogue agent. So they are trying to enlist his partner Ellis Dove (Travis Fimmel) as double agent to find out is Charles has gone rogue.

Charles Barker is a very unconventional FBI agent who doesn't really goes by the book. He makes the rules, but his way does seem to be very effective.

I think if you can look pass the weirdness of the first episode you may be able to make sense of the show when things get clearer in the next episodes but I really can not blame anybody that is not tuning in any more for the next episodes of The Beast! Not to go too far out of the box but I can bet you that some of the people that watch this show just do so because of the fact that Patrick Swayze has been in the news lately with his cancer. Some may just tune in to see how he looks now and if he still is alive.

I am willing to bet that this show doesn't make it beyond it's first season. I think fans (if there are any) are going to be lucky if A&E is even going to air all of the episode of the first season and doesn't axe it mid season. Well and I guess it's a safe bet for the show too, if the main actor dies before the end of the first season you don't have to cancel the show, his death does it for you! Therefor no worries about angry fans (ala Jericho) because they want the show back.

The next episode of The Beast airs Thursday 10/9c on A&E!

Leverage Season 1 Episode 7 (S01E07)


The FBI still uses tapes for their surveillance? I wouldn't even be surprised if that would be true! The Leverage team is trying in "The wedding job" to get into a mob bosses house who didn't follow through on his word. 5 years ago the mob boss Nicky Mosconi shot someone in Rick Palermo's restaurant. Telling him to take the blame and to say it was self defense. For that he promised to take care of Rick's wife and child which he didn't follow through with. Rick got sent to prison for 15 years. Theresa (Rick's wife) turns to the Leverage team for help.

The team has to break into the mobsters house which has a very sophisticated security system that normally is used for the Israeli military. The FBI already has a surveillance team in place and that's the way they want to get into the place. So what better then the wedding of Nicky Mosconi's daughter? As wedding planner they make their way into the house and from there they just do their usual thing. A little cooking, a little fighting and little flirting between Parker (Beth Riesgraf) and Alec (Aldis Hodge). In the end the mobsters cash ends up in the car of his newlywed daughter and Theresa gets the restaurant back. On top of that through the surveillance of the Leverage team the FBI had enough proof to arrest Nicky Mosconi for the murder 5 years ago and Rock Palermo is soon to be reunited with his wife and child.

Another great episode of one of the best shows on lately. I wonder if Parker and Alec are going to be a couple or if Sophie and Nate end up together first?

The next episode "The Mile High Job" airs Tuesday 10/9c on TNT!

13 Fear is Real Season 1 Episode 2 (S01E02)


So who has the death box? I am sure it's one of the guys and my guess is that it's Cody. I wonder when the killer will kill off the first contestant and how they will do it. So it's wait and see for that one.

This episode Nasser accused Laura of being the killer. So everyone had to agree with him in oder to make a formal accusation. Since he was wrong the mastermind contempt him to be in the execution ceremony. Since Nasser is already part of the ceremony he had to sit the challenge out together with Erica. The rest had to pair up and got put in boats in the swamp. In the middle of the boat was a box and before pulling the plug on the boat and it starts filling with water they had to unwrapped the box. Which turned out to be a glass box with snakes in it. In the middle of it a tin can and a plastic container to get the water out of the boat with. After pulling the plug it was all about getting the water out and surviving the challenge. At some point one of the contestants of each boat had to take 2 snakes and hold them over their head. Laura started to hold them over her head but not long after she through them overboard and held up their flag (the team who first holds up the flag lost the challenge). So Laura and Adam lost and took part in the execution ceremony.

The execution ceremony this time was in a container. They were lined up and blindfolded. The minions put cages around their head filled with rats and chained to the walls. They had to unscrew the screws to take the chains off, then take off the cage helmet to then take the key out of the cage and unlock the lock. The last one in the container would have the cage doors opened so the rats could eat their faces, well good plot for a horror movie but most of the rats in the helmet were fake which anybody was able to see since they didn't move a bit. I guess only 1 or 2 live ones were in there. And I doubt they really let them into the part where the contestants face was.

Laura became the latest casualty in the execution ceremony. Nasser was the first one out closely followed by Adam. And my guess was that Nasser is not going to make it out, man was I wrong!

The next episode of 13 Fear is Real airs Wednesday 8/7c on The CW!

Without a Trace Season 7 Episode 12 (S07E12)


Thomas Calabro guest stars as Eddie Gilroy, I still remember him in Melrose Place as Dr. Michael Mancini. Eddie Gilroy owns a bar which he is in danger of losing but luck seems to change as a religious statue he owns starts crying and seems to work miracles. He hears the statue talking to him and his employee's child gets miraculously healed. But it also brings a lot of bad things with it. The guy he launders money for thinks it's going to draw too much attention to the bar and his brother tries to rob the bar because he wants some money from it too. And in the middle of it is the story of his daughter and his disappearance.

Without a Trace stayed a strong show throughout all seasons. The little fling between Jack Malone and Samantha Spade is always interesting to watch especially now that Brian Donovan (Adam Kaufman) the Baby Daddy of her child wants to be in the child's life after all. And remember he did sign the papers waiver his rights as father of the child away. So lets see how that story goes on.

The next episode of Without a Trace airs Tuesday 10pm ET/PT on cbs!

Supernatural Season 4 Episode 11 (S04E11)


Finally a new episode of Supernatural! That was quite a long break for a Supernatural addict! I have watched every single episode and it just keep getting better. I think with every season the show has become better and more horror movie like. The latest episode "Family Remains" is one of my favorite episodes. Very creepy and when it comes to the end you wish it would have been longer! Supernatural is just a show I can not get enough of!

So many times I have thought this is the end now one of them is dead and the show has to end some weird way only to see them getting resurrected again! The writers should be very well paid and treated like the stars.

In "Family Remains" Dean and Sam try solve a murder on a farm where they think it was the work of a ghost only to be interrupted by a family that is ready to move in. Telling them the house has a gas leak and asbestos and they should stay in a hotel they think they have the house for them self to get rid of the ghost. After returning from some research they find the family moved into the house. The children already having encountered the "ghost" they now have to tell them the truth. It is a race of life and death till the end and if you did not watch it you have certainly missed a lot!

The next episode "Criss Angel is a douche bag" airs Thursday 9/8c on The CW! Below you can find a sneak peak.

The City Season 1 Episode 4 (S01E04)


I have never seen so many fake people in one show! I thought The Hills was bad with how superficial and shallow everybody is but this show just set the bar a lot higher! Every time they show Olivia together with Whitney you can just plainly tell how jealous Olivia is. She always looks like she is going to explode when Whitney gets good comments about her work. The best was as Olivia was asked to help Whitney! The way she looked I thought she is just going to get it over with and just kill Whitney right on the spot. I think the only thing that held her back was that it's Whitney's show and no Whitney means no show. Olivia seems to be the most shallow person I have ever seen on any of these shows like The City or The Hills! How can those kind of people build up any real friendship when they are too busy being in love with them self and backstabbing others? Mystery to me but I guess it works out perfectly for them! It must be that if a bunch of those people meet up they become instant best friends for the 30 minutes they spend together. And after that you know each other and use each other to get where you want to be.

As I first heard Whitney would get her own show I thought how nice that was because she seemed to be the nicest girl on The Hills. I always thought she was kind of the most down to earth one and not as stuck up, but after watching the first episodes of The City, it's kind of sickening. She is just as fake as everybody else and fits in perfectly, the show is more annoying than The Hills could ever be. Be honest who could live without Heidi and Spencer new stories? Weren't they supposedly going to have their own show? What happened with that?

The next episode of The City airs Monday 10pm ET on MTV!

Crminal Minds Season 4 Episode 12 (S04E12)


I used to really like the show, but was back in the day as Mandy Patinkin (Jason Gideon) was still part of the cast. Joe Mantegna (David Rossi) is the worst choice as replacement for him and ever since he is in the show is just has gone downhill.

What I don't understand is that the storylines are just keep going to make no sense at all. 2 Guys meet at a neighborhood party and through eating burgers and talking about red meat they can conclude that they are both into raping and killing? Maybe I should stop talking about red meat with my butcher before he gets the wrong picture of me! Also why do next door neighbors have to talk in a secret blog to each other about their killings and the "presents", so they don't arise suspicion? I never knew it was suspicious if next door neighbors talk or spend time together!?

I really think that some people really believe this show and start thinking they can profile people too. So every time they meet someone who fits the "profile" they saw on the show they truly think the person must be a criminal. I think that is very disturbing, but I am sure that this happens quite some time with people can not get around thinking that it is just a TV show and not real!

Psych Season 3 Episode 11 (S03E11)


How many times have they helped out Lassiter so far? As we all know Lassiter is not really happy with Shawn and Gus getting into Police investigations all the time, but they have helped him out quite a few times. Just the previous episode "Six feet under the sea" they helped him with the drug smuggler ring that got away. So this time they have to prove Lassiter's innocence. Lassister arrests for the second time a gang leader that got away the first time because the D.A. couldn't make the charges stick. After hiding out Lassiter finally got him and in the Holding cell of the Police. Well only to find out that the FBI wants him to work with them in a different case, which means that he is going to be a witness and is getting away again with his crimes. So the story begins. Everything points to Lassiter, who is now suspended. Shawn gets this time a little too close to the truth which puts him in danger as well.....

I don't wanna tell too much in case you did not watch the episode yet. But believe me you should! I still wonder if Jules and Shawn will ever be a couple? Jules new partner (while Lassiter was suspended) said that she constantly talks about Shawn, so do you sign say yes they are going to be together at some point? Shawn is after her since episode one so how long do we have to wait? But let's be honest maybe that would take out something special of the show if they would be a couple. I guess we have to wait and see....

10 Items or less Season 3 Episode 2 (S03E02)


Oh my god that was hilarious! Leslie being attacked every night by a Feral cat trying to kill him, and I swear that is the same thing my husband tells me every night about our dog.

This episode Leslie decided to open a Lasik business inside the Greens & Grains, while Yolanda would have liked to start a Tube Top shop. To change Leslie's mind she decides to seek him out and show him her Tube Top. So Yolanda walks straight into the lasik room where Leslie, who was challenged by Richard to undergo the lasik first before he does, is under the laser. Disrupted by Yolanda Leslie loses temporarily his eye site. Out of gilt Yolanda lets him stay with her and her son. Just as Yolanda can not take it anymore and she is ready to tell Leslie that he has to move out he slips and tells her he had looked at her Portfolio of Tube Tops and gotten her her own Internet shop www.yolandastubetopshop.com. Realizing he could see again she tests him throwing a knife at him, which of course he catches. So kicked out of her place he tries to explain next day at work what had happen. Leslie explains that he didn't feel as lonely as he does living alone in his dead fathers house where a Feral cat tries to kill him every night. Just right after excepting his apology they start joking around with softly pushing each other and Leslie falls over and Yolanda accidentally closes the gate on him, now having hurt his legs.

This episode was just as hilarious as all the others. Believe me if you still have not seen any of the episode you really did miss a great watch! You can find a sneak peak and some clips right here

Sober House Season 1 Episode 1 (S01E01)


We have seen 2 seasons of celebrities trying to get sober on Celebrity Rehab, or shall I better say pretended to get sober for money because they are totally broke? It's no secret they where paid to be on the show and I believe that was probably the main reason most of them where even on the show. What else did they have going on to make money? They got to pay bills too and drugs ain't cheap either so what better to do than going to treatment for a couple weeks, collect a check and hit it again. It is a good thing VH1 is trying to do by showing that taking drugs is not all cool like most think seeing how big name celebrities are addicts, but I don't think this show is affecting anybody.

So now Celebrity Rehab presents Sober House. Some celebrities of both season are back and live together in a Sober House where they are trying to start a sober life. So who is in Sober House? Well from the first season you have Seth "Shifty" Binzer and Mary Carey, from the second season Amber Smith, Rodney King, Steven Adler and Nikki McKibbin. I really don't think that most of them are going actually are going to live a sober life, except Rodney maybe.

The first episode everyone moved into the house where Jennifer Gimenez, who was a addict herself, is the House Mother. Steven showed up high and she found Heroin and syringes on him. After calling Dr. Drew Steven had to leave with Will (who was one of the techs on celebrity Rehab) to stay with him over the night and to return to Sober House in the morning.

It seems like the season is going to be very interesting especially later on with Andy Dick (he is not in the house yet).

The next episode airs Thursday (Jan. 22nd) 10pm EST on Vh1.

Here are some clips from the first episode
