One thing I’ve always said about TNT’s Saving Grace is that the show is very much an acquired taste. That’s the trait that kept me from liking the cop drama for more than a season, and once I forced myself to give it a second chance and sit through an entire episode, that’s the trait that also made it grow on me. Fortunately, Holly Hunter’s Grace Hanadarko and her familiar Oklahoma City Police Department colleagues are still chugging along on the fine line between irritating and gripping during tonight’s (June 16) Season Three premiere “We’re Already Here.”

Tonight’s premiere features a particularly disturbing case involving the early-morning mass murder of four family members: mother Cynthia Rivera, her young children Lucia and Miguel Rivera, and her mother Diana Alvarez. As is standard …read more

The second season of USA Network’s In Plain Sight kicks off tonight, April 19, at 10pm ET with the premiere episode “Gilted Lily.” When we last saw New Mexico-based U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack), she had just survived a brutal kidnapping and killed a man in the process of escaping.
In Plain Sight’s sophomore run picks up almost exactly where we left off. Mary is now on obligatory administrative leave, pending a psychological evaluation to determine if she’s fit to return to active duty. In the meantime, Mary’s exacerbating mother Jinx (Lesley Ann Warren) and sister Brandi …read more

Episode: Welcome Back, Kalla Fötter
Original Air Date: March 31, 2009
Don’tcha just love when the new season of a show picks up right where the show left off the previous season when it happened to end with a cliffhanger? Thanks, My Boys, for getting right down to business, with Bobby stopping by PJ’s room to ‘fess up his feelings (I presume), only to find his brother Jack there keeping her “company.”
PJ is confused, Bobby is flustered, and Jack seems not to care either way. He’s cool like that, especially when he interrupts PJ the next morning in the middle …read more

The time has finally arrived for “Welcome Back, Kalla Fötter,” tonight’s Season Three premiere of the TBS sitcom My Boys. And great news for Twilight fangirls — Billy Burke returns as PJ’s former/current romantic interest, Jack.
Funny thing — I just watched Twilight for the first time this past weekend (nice, entertaining movie, by the way — loved it), and I kept peering at Bella’s dad and thinking, “I know I’ve seen this guy in lots of stuff, but where did I see him last? C’mon! C’mon! Where?” And then it hit me.
Most recently, Burke portrayed the …read more
