The end of S5.22, Swan Song left us with Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) shattered down to his very soul over the loss of Sam and knowing (he thinks) where and what his brother had to go to.

Better with You: One Family – Three Couples At Different Stages of Their Relationships!
Better with You [ABC, Wednesdays, 8:30/7:30C] serves up some big laughs centered around three couples: Casey [Jake Lacey] and Mia [JoAnna Garcia], newly engaged after knowing each other for seven weeks; Mia’s sister, Maddie [Jennifer Finnigan] and Ben [Josh Cooke], who have been living together for nine years, and Mia and Maddie’s parents, Joel [Kurt […]
One Side of The Whole Truth is Not Like the Other!
The Whole Truth [ABC, Wednesdays, 10/9C] is the series that gives us both sides of a criminal investigation. We see the arrest and then each ep bounces back and forth between the points of view of the prosecutor, Kathryn Peale [Maura Tierney] and defence attorney Jimmy Brogan [Rob Morrow], and their respective teams. It’s a […]
The Defenders: Thank You For Flying Tawnee!
The Defenders [CBS, Wednesdays, 10/9C] turns out not to be a re-imagining of a 1961 legal series about a couple of lawyers who didn’t always win [which was groundbreaking stuff in 1961]. Instead, it’s a fictionalization of a couple of Vegas lawyers with a reputation for trying anything to win, and partying like it’s 1999 […]

Detroit 1-8-7 – Wears Its Influences Well!
It might be an overstatement to connect Detroit 1-8-7 [ABC, Tuesdays, 10/9C] to Dragnet, one of the first [and best] procedurals ever to cross the small screen but its opening voiceover detailing the circumstances in which the Detroit homicide work certainly suggests it legendary predecessor. The faux documentary style of the first few episodes gives […]
The Fate of the World Hangs in the Balance in the Season Finale of Warehouse 13!
The tagline for the second season finale of Warehouse 13 [Syfy, Tuesdays, 9/8C] reads: Following H.G. Wells’ treacherous attack and devastating betrayal in Egypt, the Warehouse team must determine the plan she has been secretly orchestrating for more than one hundred years. When it becomes clear that that Wells has her hands on an incomprehensibly […]
The Event Takes Conspiracies to a Whole New Level!
The Event [NBC, Mondays, 9/8C] is a smart, complex and thoroughly entertaining new series. The premiere is easily the best pilot of the season. With a cast of dozens [if you include guest stars], this is a series that can provide at least a couple characters with whom everyone in the audience can identify, while […]
Hawaii Five-0 Reboot Is The Season’s Best New Procedural!
Hawaii Five-0 [CBS, Mondays, 10/9C] features characters whose names are familiar, and the setting that comes with the title, but it is not your father’s/grandfather’s Hawaii Five-0. It is a fast-paced, well written, fresh take on cop shows that has energy to burn and charisma to spare.
