All I could think of while I watched that is that there is NOTHING romantic about freezing your a** off in a sleigh for all that time when you could be driving in a nice heated SUV with a mocha in your hand listening to Christmas carols on satelitte radio. Yay progress!!

I tend not to over analyze my comedy - thinking so much about how this action or that lends itself to the overall story line. I just like it if it's off the cuff funny, and I have to say I LMAO. Some things just never go out of style, and helium is one of them. Top it off with the delicious Katee it a tub full of suds, and it was one great half hour for me.

How the hell did he slide on the floor like that while opening the door at the same time?

Unser is going to kill Zoebelle very publicly, but do it in such a way so everyone (the Feds, the public, his church, etc) finally sees him for the scumbag he truly was.

Also, what happened to Vic Trammel (the sherrif)? He just got left bleeding in the middle of the street after getting shot by the transvestite. Did he die? Is he in the hospital? Does SAMCRO feel no sense of debt for sending him to that state on what was essentially an errand for them?

Big fan of Numb3rs, especially the 'reconcilement of self' arcs that have played out over the course of the series. However, when that is done, you rapidly approach your Jump the Shark moment, when you're reaching deeper and deeper into the bin to find stories. When the two main characters need to be together, and one won't move geographically (Charlie), there isn't a whole heck of a lot more that you can do.

The success of recent series with a definate end point in mind show that you don't have to follow the old school conventional wisdom of keeping a show on for as long as its ratings will support it.

That logic is one that I believe another great procedural, NCIS, is rapidly approaching. We've gone through everyone's back story, one major death, everyone's family history - not much else left. It's time for Tony to get his own team, Gibbs to REALLY retire or move up, McGee to become senior team member, and Ziva to become an American and full fledged agent. After that.....

Hate Rosie O'Donnell. She is the personification of everything that is wrong with the left. Smarmy, intolerant, loudmouthed, and hypocritical. I used to at least respect her artistic work, but that went out the window long ago. One example of 'she that is Rosie' - a few years ago she was a big part of a push to outlaw handguns - no one but cops should be able to carry. Then we find out that her own kids' bodyguard was licensed to carry a sidearm and did daily. So, as usual, what's good for everyone else doesn't apply to her. Which is not a statement about how I feel about handguns, it's about the double standard.

(Staring at the picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt) "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

What am I missing? Why is CBS running re-runs this week already?

"Didn't you wear that, like, 5 years ago?"

Classic!

See the thing is, anyone who's watched more than a dozen episodes knows that when she sets her mind to it, Abby is just as tough as anyone. Personally I'd like to see her smack Sam around a little just for fun. Remember the time she took out the hit man in the van with the taser, and Gibbs just stood there and laughed?
