A Television Viewer's Diary: 10/16-10/22: Veronica Mars

Part of: TV Viewer's Diary

WARNING: The free form ramblings continue, be prepared for run-ons, incomplete thoughts, and atrocious punctuations. This is what happens to a mind on TV, it's not pretty, but kind of fun.

My apologies for the lateness.

Best show I watched this week: Veronica Mars
Worst show I watched this week: Drawn Together

Sunday 10/16.

  • Crossing Jordan (NBC 10pm). This episode features a new character, a weaselly reporter who manages to get close to Jordan to get a story. Jordan tries using him to expose the despicable medical care at a privatized prison. Not sure I like the new guy, but it was a decent episode. ***
  • Desperate Housewives (ABC 9pm). This features Gabrielle needing to satisfy some urges, which features a brief cameo by wrestler Bill Goldberg. Lynette's son has an imaginary Mary Poppins like friend. And the disappearing Zach sure was easy to find. This season is nowhere near the level of the first, but still entertaining. **.5
  • Grey's Anatomy (ABC 10pm). Kristina refuses to stay in bed, instead roaming the hospital in a wheelchair trying to help. Addison and Derek start hashing out a potential divorce. Meanwhile Meredith's mother continues her recovery. This series is picking up some decent steam. ***

Monday 10/17.

  • WWE: Monday Night Raw (USA 9pm). The show opened Vince coming out to talk about JR's firing. Coach is announced as the new lead announcer. Afterward,Kurt Angle tries to get Vince to name him the number 1 contender, but is interrupted by Hurricane. This turns into a quick squash for Kurt. The first match was a contender match for Taboo Tuesday pitting Edge against the Big Show. It was a decent match, then JBL's music hits and distracts Edge allowing Show to win. Next up was Carlito's Cabana with Mick Foley who talks about JR, then Linda interrupts with a message for JR. Then back to the verbal sparring of Mick and Carlito about being cool. It ends with Mick announcing Carlito vs HBK for tonight.The match turned out to be pretty good with HBK winning. After the win Flair came out and called out HHH, who he chased off with a bat. Then there was a women's match Victoria, Torrie, and someone whose name I can't recall against Trish, Ashley, and Micky James. Micky screwed up and lost the match. Then Austin showed up, calling out the McMahons. Stephanie comes out and has a nice little chat, that leads to an offer of Stone Cold vs Coach at Taboo Tuesday with JR's job in the balance. The final match was an 18 man battle royal featuring the return of Kane, who do you think won?
  • Surface (NBC 8pm). Nimrod's dog eating incident is leading to more problems, especially when he gets loose in a grocery store. Meanwhile Laura and Richard are following the creature that she had tagged previously. Which leads to more attention from Cirko. ***
  • Las Vegas (NBC 9pm). Sam is dealing with a new supervisor. Ed is tracking an impostor, and Mike has to find away to retrieve the Aston Martin he borrowed, that got stolen. Still high on the guilty pleasure list.
