How I Met Your Mother: Ducky Tie

September 27, 2011

As I said last time, Victoria is not the Mother and that became clear last night. It was a cute episode, loved the “bang, bang bangity bang” song, have we heard that before? Robin seemed bored by the endless discussion about Lily’s boobs and therefore kept going back to Ted for the rest of the…

Person of InterestEpisode 101"Pilot" Person of Interest is a fairly straight forward show. Its about getting knowledge of "to be committed" crimes and trying to prevent them.  A serialized Minority Report?  It dips into a couple of different genre wells and executes them all fairly well.

So, as I sat down (well, actually I stood in my kitchen) to watch the premiere of the 3rd season of Parenthood, which I have really come to love over the last two years, I was struck by how many things irked me as I watched, but before I start venting, here's the recap. Read…
