Episode 2 season 5 av CSI:NY ska ses och analyseras imorgon. Jag hoppas på ett Danny-tätt avsnitt. Vad försigår i den mannens huvud egentligen? I wonder...

Och det är trevligt att den attityden spiller över på Stella, t.ex. när hon hänger i en väska över en avgrund. Att fortfarande vara förbannad och lita på att mördaren inte bara släpper, det är hårt.

Andra iaktagelser; är det inte uppenbart att Adam kommer få en mer betydande roll den här säsongen? Han har ju till och med fått en plats i introt! (Finally!) Och hur viktig visade det sig inte att han var i det här avsnittet? Kommer han till och med gå från Lab Rat till, dare I say it, Field worker? Chansen är stor att han gör en Greg. Inte mig emot, då kanske de tar in lite roliga eccentriska karaktärer på labbet. Men han får GROW A PAIR! SÅ osäker på sig själv och stammande behöver han väl inte vara efter fyra säsonger?

Och Flack har en syster? Big deal. Jag vill lära känna Flacks bröder! Fler poliser tack!

Vad jag inte tycker om är att de gjort Lindsay till någon form av botaniker. Hon har outnyttjad potential, hon skulle kunna bli lika tuff som Stella men istället får hon jaga ledtrådar i lövsamlingar. Nej nej nej, hon är inte bara ett traumatiserat mordvittne och Danny's flickvän från mellanvästern, hon är så mycket mer. Ge mig en storyline där HON hänger över en avgrund i en väska tack.

• New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS, 8/7c) If you only saw this show in the very beginning, give it another shot. I am telling you, the pre-menopause episode had me curled up on the floor with a stitch in my side from laughing so hard. It's the only show I can think of where incestual sexual tension is funny. Except for when Justine Bateman guest-starred on Arrested Development.

Here are the other offerings:

• Knight Rider (NBC, 8/7c) I know what you're thinking. Several questions come to mind, all ending in "the hell," such as "What the hell?" or "Why the hell?" The only things I can tell you are that Val Kilmer is the voice of Kitt, and the main character is Michael Knight's son Mike, played by Justin Bruening of All My Children semi-fame. My AMC-watching buddy and I have long made fun of his inability to act convincingly. Were we too harsh? You be the judge, because I'm certainly not tuning in.
• Gary Unmarried (CBS, 8:30, 7:30c) Sitcom about a newly-divorced couple starring Jay Mohr, Paula Marshall and Ed Begley, Jr. I'm a fan of the latter two, so I'll give it a shot.
• Criminal Minds (CBS, 9/8c) I don't watch it, but I can't imagine it's as good without Inigo Montoya. (Of course I know his real name....)

• CSI: NY (CBS, 10/9c) This is still on?
• Lipstick Jungle (NBC, 10/9c) The entire cast of men and women plus Candace Bushnell must have all formed some kind of "we scratch your back" arrangement with Ben Silverman (NBC Universal  co-chair), because this show never should have made it past the pilot, let alone into a second season. I like most of these people (especially Kim Raver, Andrew McCarthy), I'm just sayin', they must scratching their little fingers off.

Bones, ANTM and Project Runway are also new tonight, and I will be watching.

Jag vill bara lämna er så länge med några små saker jag måste få ur mig. Designen här kommer ändras. Igen. Förhoppningsvis till det bättre. Och glöm inte att titta in på Modern Day Gallery, bilderna är FENOMENALA som alltid. Till och med jag kan uppskatta den här:

C'est incroyable. Je suis devant la télé mais je la regarde à peine, je suis plutot sur internet, mais là il y a les experts et je me prend à regarder et mon dieu, je n'avais jamais regardé avant. C'est completement ridicule mais j'ai carrement la trouille de traverser le jardin pour aller me coucher dans la petite maison toute seule ! Cette série est dégeu ! juste là, une femme a ses mains à l'interieur d'une autre femme et tente de lui attraper le coeur.  Je m'arrête là. et je vais faire semblant d'être super occupée quand äskling rentrera et que c'est la raison pour laquelle je suis toujours debout.

Stella: -reads card-
Hawkes: So you figure who called you yet? -grins-
Stella: -smiles- Sheldon Hawkes, mind your own business.

I just think that is soooo adorable! I love Hawkes. I love his ability to stay calm in the most nerveracking situations ever. He's one of my favorite characters in CSI:NY. Hell, I love all of them, with the exception for Lindsay Monroe. Everytime her credits come up, I glare at her stupid picture and mutter to myself, "Hmph! Aiden was so better than you, YOU SUCK UP!" Seriously, Aiden was. But the minute Lindsay comes, the crimes get more interesting. I guess that's just a package I have to deal with. I don't know how Danny can like Lindsay. Aiden was so much nicer, more interesting and she was absolutely gorgeous. Lindsay isn't even close to her. She has that young pixie look, as if she's working too hard to make everyone like her.

My sister, Jasmine, just told me that Cuddy might die! I will totally freak out if she does. I will, never, ever watch House again! I only watch it for the sizzling tension between House and Cuddy because they're just that awesome. I saw a spoiler that Wilson might resign. I hope he doesn't. He's an absolute dear. He's like a big teddy bear. You just want to squeeze him to death. I know I do. xD Yes, I support House/Cuddy a.k.a. Huddy! Why? Cause it's way better than House/Cameron. I roll my eyes everytime she looks at House with that sad little look on her face, begging him to love her when he totally loves Cuddy. I remember there was a part where she looked at House with that sad little look on her face and then she asked whether he liked her. When he answered no (like we didn't know that! xD), she looked as if she was going to cry. PATHETIC!

Cameron pisses me off.

Sometimes she's okay but sometimes I just want to get a gun and shoot the hell out of her. I think she's much more suited for Chase or Foreman. Yes, I support Chase/Cameron and Cameron/Foreman. I don't really care. Cameron can go with any guy on the show, just not House.

Well, enough of my rambling! I've got to go to clean up the room my sis, Peony, left me.

P.S. I've got my periods. I hate them. Sometimes I hate being a girl. Hmph.

Anyway, here's The Who.  it's a long one, but there's some wicked tambourine action at the beginning.  Check it out:

CSI:NY's Hill Harper will play the Duffy's Hope celebrity softball game, and will address the youth summit before the game.

Other celebrities from Everybody Hates Chris, The Love Guru and film and television will be at the huge family fun day with live music, face painting and more.

Proceeds from the day will go to benefit the H.O.P.E. Mentoring Program.

Catch Hill Harper at the Duffy's Hope celebrity softball game on August 2.

So there you have my list of the Top 5 TV theme songs. As usual, if you have a problem with my list, think you can do better, want to make your own Top 5 go right ahead in the comment section. Click on the names of the songs to listen to them to make your own judgment. Full version of Hey Sandy available when you click on the artist name.

I was just downstairs watching the latest CSI:NY on "on demand" from Comcast and the ending was a real cliffhanger with Mac being driven away by some lying s.o.b. bank robber who some how set up this genious bank robbing plan. I don't know how he did it but you should really watch the show cause it's really good IMO. Deffinitely better than the other 2 CSI's or any other murder type show. Well, I do like Cold Case and Without a Trace and Law & Order: SVU but that's all. I'm not a murder mystery junkie or anything if that's what you were thinking.

The NBA Finals have been boring so far in my opinion. So the Celtics won the first 2 and now if L.A. loses tonight I'm done watching them all together. There's just really no point at all. The Lakers shouldn't be doing this bad and yeah they came back at the end of game 2 but that was just too little too late for them. They're not going to beat the Big 3 that way and they really have no reason to think they should.

Förra säsongens avslut, Snow Day, var minst sagt spektakulärt. Lyckas de toppa det i år? Vi får se. Återkommer.

Jag har iofs törst efter blod efter förra avsnittet av CSI:NY. Reed kunde gott och väl kolat. Hmph. Ska han och Mac bli ännumer som far och son nu? Ick.

Please note that including Sunday's performance, this will be the third time I've seen Beauty & the Beast on stage. I saw it twice last year at Neptune Theatre, too. So, my expectations are pretty high. But I have all the confidence in the world that they'll do an awesome job.

Tonight's episode of CSI: NY was pretty good. Not great, but good. This season's earlier attempt at an on-going murder serial thing with the 3:33 caller (or whatever) was a bit lame. Tonight's episode ended with a cliffhanger. I'm hoping it's not an ongoing thing, because that crap gets old fast with CSI shows. (Please see the 1,583 "miniature killer" episodes on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.) Also, they've introduced a love interest for Mac. Why?! Ugh. Again, hope that doesn't last long.

On the other hand, tonight's episode of Criminal Minds was very good. The hour seemed to fly by. It was nice to see Matthew Gray Gubler ("Dr. Spencer Reid") do a little more acting than usual. I always enjoy his character, but he can't be nerdy and happy-go-lucky all the time. I even got a little choked up when he explained a painful memory from his past. An impressive episode.

In realty TV news, the energetic Stacy Ann was eliminated during tonight's episode of America's Next Top Model. The bottom two models were Stacy Ann and Fatima, only because Fatima didn't make it to the photo-shoot because she had to get her travel papers. Stacy Ann's past photos are not nearly as impressive as Fatima. I've never been a fan of Fatima but she really deserved to stay- and she did. Next week, the girls will be in Rome, Italy.

Those lucky, skinny, tall, Tyra Banks'-ass-kissing bitches.

This week's photo-shoot did not impress me that much, especially compared to last week's Fuerzabruta-inspired shoot. Those photos were stunning. The challenge this week was a party. The girls were given dresses to wear designed by Jay Godfrey. Naturally, I laughed like a loon when Dominique got the name of the designer wrong. HAHAHAHA!!! Faaantastic. Anya won the challenge this week, no surprise. She really is a unique-looking woman, like a fairy or an elf or something.

Meanwhile, Dominique still looks like a man. Hmmm...

Other highlights of the episode include:

• Katarzyna learned to speak for the first time. For some reason, I thought she had a Russian accent. But she really is a stunning young woman. The shorter hair really does suit her very well.
• Lastly, punk rocker model Lauren cut the tip of her finger off while cutting a potato. Nothing says "High Fashion" like a sliced thumb.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm doing a little happy dance (no video of said dance will be included) because finally television as we know is returning.  And even the threat of an actor's strike will not overshadow my joy this month.

But in all honesty, I found plenty to do in the absence of my favorite shows.  I cleared off my DVR (it is now primed and ready for the April onslaught of shows), I watched BBC America (who knew I'd like British dramas), I read and read some more (including books on my favorite shows like Supernatural and Heroes), I've had plenty of field trips with my kids to museums and parks, and I've caught up on last summer's blockbusters on DVD.

In fact, I've enjoyed a little break from my TV set.  But the break is over and I happily welcome the return of my shows.
