I'm okay with Junior and Tani getting together. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later
Yeah, but when will Tani and "Junes" get their mandatory kidnapping/hostage episode. Everyone else connected with 5-0 has been abducted at least once, so you know their turn is coming up soon.
It's like an initiation. You can't be a "real" member of 5-0 until you have survived your first abduction.

I am afraid that TPTB will end this EoE crap by bringing back one extinctee for the Final Four or Five and that he/she will luck into an immunity win and make Final Three. Then the jury, as a final "Fuck You!!!" to those who voted them out, award the Survivor Prize to one of their own.

I wish someone would explain to me why Agent Turner is soooo gung-ho over a pen cap that was found at the scene. That scene was not some private residence, but a very public grocery store. So what if Beth's DNA is on that cap? There is no evidence that the cap was dropped during the robbery--Beth could have dropped it on any one of hundreds of normal trips to that store buying groceries.

All but two of the original Survivors are still there, and the show doesn't seem to want any of these less-than-extraordinary cast members to leave for some reason.
Maybe it's a budget thing. Costs a lot of money to provide all that free food and drink at Ponderosa, so TPTB just parks the lot of them on EoE and lets them starve a little longer.

When Sheldon was "fighting" the fire, I commented to my girlfriend that for a genius who supposedly knows physics, he was surely being dumb for not knowing how to put out that little fire.
Best line of the night for me was when Sheldon explained that he was so shook up that he actually tried to put out a fire using paper and air!

I DVR'd about 40 of these shows during a few marathons, and have been catching up a few at a time. I have noticed that the producers never try to recreate the 70s or 80s with cars, etc., but...
QuoteThey can't even be bothered to stage the cases in the late 80s/early 90s where they belong; all the cars, clothes, hair, etc. in the reenactments are current.
...I realize that keeping a fleet of old cars, would be far too expensive, but I was watching one episode from the 70s and at the end of the episode, they showed actual photos of Joe Kenda on the job. Younger Joe had permed hair and was wearing one of the very colorful sports jackets that we all wore in those days, with a very wide, colorful tie. Yet in the episode, CM as Joe was dressed in the same black suit that he wore in every time period. Might have been more interesting if TPTB at least dressed Kenda in the style of the era.

Standish suddenly being okay to shoot someone in cold blood
Seems to me that shooting someone who is armed and actively shooting at your unarmed partner does not really qualify as "in cold blood".

And I'm kinda sick of the American TV insistence on the "sob story" for competitors in shows like this (or indeed in any televised sporting event.) ...the contestants are one-and-dones. We don't need to know their inspirations or "why" they're running the course...it's for the money. Besides, that's what the color commentator is for.
Or, in my case--that's what my DVR and Fast Forward is for.

The runners and defenders are assisted by a counter-balance system as they ascend the rope up that building, but the defenders have all really, REALLY flown up that rope. I wonder if the counter-balancing system might be tweaked a bit in the defender's favor?

...(due the NCAA my DVR only recorded 46 minutes).
I got so tired of worrying about the start/stop times of CBS Sunday evening scheduling that I set my DVR to stop recording NCIS:LA 3 hours after normal end time. If it's on time, I just stop the recording and delete, and I delete the whole thing after I watched it, but this way I never worry about getting cut off.

I enjoy the Mystery Movies on Hallmark, but TPTB really makes us work to find them. I try to set my TIVO, so that I don't miss anything, but every movie in each series has a different title, so the TIVO doesn't recognize them. I can fix the settings for "Wish List" for each series, but it would be so much simpler if Hallmark would just decide on a single title that work for all of the mysteries.
As it is, I often have to scroll ahead through two weeks of upcoming movies, to manually set the DVR. That works, of course, but it is a pain in the butt.

What kind of internet do they have that only one person can use it at the same time?
Probably the kind that's connected to the only computer in the house.

Wow, the writers crammed at least three standard spy movie tropes in one episode. 1) We can crash the fancy party at the bad guy's house/embassy, which is conveniently scheduled TONIGHT. 2) Oops, there's a bomb--and we'll defuse it at the last possible second. 3) We must save the kidnapped innocent, and we'll get there and save her with mere seconds to spare. Oh, and it is totally unnecessary to force a scientist to invent an elaborate bomb just to create a huge explosion in a sewer. A bunch of C-4 and a cheap timer would have done the same damage.
Seriously, I would love for a show like this to play around with some of these ridiculous scenarios, such as: "Damn--the fancy party was last night. Now what do we do?" Or how about diffusing a bomb with like 37 minutes to spare.

My girlfriend enjoys the Hallmark Mystery Movies, and I admit, I have learned to enjoy them. They are very predictable, but an enjoyable to spend a few hours, nevertheless. However, my irritation with the Aurora Teagarden series is that CCB is a mature woman (40+ yo) with an adult daughter IRL. Yet Aurora's mother, played by wonderful Marilu Henner, nags at her and fusses over her choices and love life as if she hadn't yet graduated high school.

How very sad that "Bee" and "Peacock did not win! However, I am hopeful that they can pick up the pieces and still have a decent career in music. Good Luck!

I try so hard to like this show, but...
Madam Secretary admits that Deputy Director Louis is the 427th person she has sent to L.A. to find a reason to disband our team...
Finally--the pivotal conversation: Madam Sec--Well, your team solved the case, saved multiple hundreds of lives, uncovered a corrupt FBI agent, and brought the city back from panic. So, do you agree that we should break up the team?
What nonsense!!!!!!!!!!! Just go back to Washington and take credit for their successes.

Lolo cracks me up when she is getting ready to begin a competition. Even when she's just lined up in her little box for a True/False comp, she gets all hunched down and tenses up like she is waiting for a starter's pistol to go off.

What a silly "Power". Tamar did not need to use it at the nomination meeting, and if she gets past the veto meeting without getting nominated, the power expires next Monday. No harm, no foul...

I noticed that Julie continues to refer to herself as "Julie Chen Moonves", but the credits at the end of the show just say "Host: Julie Chen".

I enjoy this show in a perverted, brain-dead way, but why do the contestants get dunked/sprayed with strange goop in the clothes they were wearing in the audience? I'd be a bit pissed if Ellen dropped me in a vat of brown or green goo and then I had to wear those clothes home. "What the hell, Ellen! How am I supposed to go to the restaurant now???????"

So what's the deal with The Rock? He insists on repeating for each challenge that "I designed this one to really challenge upper body/lower body/endurance/etc." But I carefully watched the end credits (twice) and nowhere is he listed as Executive Producer, or Producer or game designer--he is only listed as "host". In fact, the credits clearly name the game builders and designers. I don't believe that The Rock had any part in any of it.

I found myself watching for Captain Grover's whodunnit only to have most everything done off screen and dropped on us in a basement data dump.
What a waste of time and a COW when they do that.
I always get a little confused by naval rank insignia (why do they have to be so different from Army/Marines/Air Force???) but why was the CIA bad girl calling Catherine "Lieutenant" in that office flashback when Catherine was clearly sporting Ensign insignia?

S03: Africa
in Survivor
Casting Kelly G. for a return might be problematic as she worked for CBS for a time after her season. She was a casting associate and helped to cast several Survivors.
For CBS to re-cast a former member of their casting department might be a conflict of interest or something.
