The Mentalist – Jane solves a…hey, that’s Chip from Kate & Allie!

(Season 1, Episode 9 – “Flame Red”) ”                                                 “ – Jane, to victim’s daughter, who’s wearing headphones Patrick Jane can be a real wiseass. He’s not even cop — or whatever the people who work for the fake law enforcement agency CBI are — and he just makes incredibly goofy comments to victims’ family members, […]

The Amazing Race – The unexpected final three revealed

(Season 13, Episode 10 – “You’re Gonna Get Me Killed”) I’ll give credit to those dumb frat boys because they didn’t have the week’s dumbest move. That would be reserved for Dallas. We’ve known pretty much all season that Dallas is a bit of a dim bulb at times. Sure, Starr thinks he’s cute and […]

How The Mentalist could be even better

I love The Mentalist, and so do the viewers, according to Brett’s Ratings Clack this week. I’m thrilled that the new series is doing well, really I am.

NCIS – Ding dong! The witch is dead!

(Season 6, Episode 9 – “Dagger”) Before last week’s and this week’s episodes of CBS’s NCIS, you probably had the same opinion of Agent Lee as I did: she’s a witch! Okay, not a witch with potions, an evil laugh and warts on her big nose, but someone who does evil things to good people. […]

The Mentalist – A hunch, some lunch, and a punch

(Season 1, Episode 8 – “The Thin Red Line”) I can see why this show is the number one new show of the season. When you can get a show that combines a police procedural, add a quirky twist to it, and cast as the leading guy someone who is likable and an audience favorite […]

The Big Bang Theory – Three’s a crowd, Sheldon!

(Season 2, Episode 9 – “The White Asparagus Triangulation”) In last week’s review I mentioned I wasn’t too keen on the new character introduced as Leonard’s latest love interest. I went on to say I hoped she wouldn’t be a recurring character. I shouldn’t say these things. I just jinx it all to heck, don’t […]
