Best show I watched this week: Veronica Mars
Worst show I watched this week: Medium
Sunday 11/20.
- King of the Hill (Fox 7:30). The Hills discover that Arlen was founded as a town of prostitutes. The Council decides to play up that aspect, with disastrous results. Not horrible, but I don't know why I bothered to watch. **
- The Simpsons (Fox 8pm). Homer gets all hyped up for his Father's Day gifts (episode seems to be oddly timed?), and ends up alienating Lisa. He tries to win her back by becoming the Safety Salamander and running for Mayor. Yawn. **
- The War at Home (Fox 8:30). Why must it be so easy to tape this with the rest of the Fox stuff I watch? This week the daughter and her friend get drunk, get yelled at by parental units, and parental units reveal their hypocritical ways. Meanwhile, the son breaks up with his fat girlfriend and the young son shoots a pigeon. *
- Family Guy (Fox 9pm). Peter tries to connect with Stewie, and in doing so goes on an escalating rampage against Lois, culminating with dumping her in the lake. Meanwhile, Chris is pressed into service, helping the creepy old guy do yard work. Not among their best, but still funny. ***
- American Dad (Fox 9:30). Stan tries to convince his daughter that guns are good, and the journey takes them to both sides of the issue, especially after Stan is paralyzed by a gunshot. Roger makes Steve believe that he is adopted. Not too shabby. ***
- Desperate Housewives (ABC 9pm). One of Carlos' prison buddies is released and sent to help Gaby grieve the loss of her child. That buddy is played with great sentiment by Danny Trejo. The Scavo's try to teach the twins about not talking to strangers. Bree doesn't want to be seen with an engagement ring, and Caleb is finally captured. Not bad, but this season does not have the spark that season 1 did. ***
- Grey's Anatomy (ABC 10pm). Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year, especially for the dysfunctional. Izzie is having a rough time making the turkey, Cristina and Burke arrive to make it a little more awkward, until Burke shows he can cook. Cristina bails looking for booze. George is taken on a hunt t by his family to kill a turkey, and Alex, Meredith, and Derek try to stay in the hospital. Everyone ends up at the hospital, proving their lack of out of workplace social skills. Not much story wise, but a fun episode for the holidays. ***
