Welcome to the second edition of "The Week That Was..." I know many of you probably didn't see the initial column, but maybe you will see this one, either way, I hope you enjoy. Anyway, I made a tactical error this week in waiting to start putting this together until late in the week, when I should have been doing it as I went along, and my short MTV generation attention span's memories have started to fade regarding some of the shows I watched earlier in the week, and in some cases have been completely lost. Combine that with the fact that I multi task while watching television, not a good combination. So please do not expect much from this week, still working the kinks out. I have added a rating for each episode based on a * to ***** system, including halves. Onto the Diary.
Sunday 3/27.
- King of the Hill. Not sure why I still watch this as I have never really cared for it. *.5
- Malcolm in the Middle. I remember this as being a decent episode in a subpar season, the end is near. **.5
- Arrested Development. I don't remember much of the episode, but it is always funny, and we do get a cameo from Ben Stiller. ***
- Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Don't remember a thing.
- Crossing Jordan. Decent episode, features Jerry O'Connell's brother Charlie, and the discovery of a mass grave. **.5
- Desperate Housewives. Finally a new episode, this show definitely falls under the header guilty pleasure. ***
- Grey's Anatomy. Debut episode, I thought it was pretty good. A more serious alternative to Scrubs. **.5
Monday 3/28.
- WWE: Raw. The build to Wrestlemania continues. **.5
- Las Vegas. This was fun, watching a blackjack player beating the house on an electronic table, while Sam looks for a new leisure suit. ***
- Medium. A killer is executed and keeps on killing, a bit dull. **
- 24. This season just keeps going, quite possibly the best since the first. Players keep getting moved into position setting up next week which is bulled as everything changes.***.5
Tuesday 3/29.
- Veronica Mars. The joys of schools stealing rival mascots. This is a very good series. ***
- House. This show has been a surprise, this one has the continuing drama of who is getting fired, and another bizarre medical case involving a young overweight girl. ***
- Scrubs. Great show gets no respect. Turk and Carla are having troubles while JD tries to cheer him up. ***.5
- The Office. Suffered a big ratings drop, but continues to be funny, I think it is good pair with Scrubs. This one has a funny meeting about tolerance. ***
- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I liked this one about a mother accusing her daughters boyfriend of rape and the twisted turn it takes. My favorite L&O series. ***
- Blind Justice. Our hero faces off with his former partner in a good episode. This series is growing on me. ***
