House Season 6 Episode 10: Wilson
courtesy FOX network
The thing about a really good episode of House is that you realize almost immediately it’s going to be great.
Tonight, I knew before I hit play.
The name of the episode says it all. James Wilson is my favorite character on my favorite show, so a long-overdue episode focused on mainly on him was an excellent surprise.
Penn and Teller on Jimmy Fallon
Penn and Teller visited Jimmy Fallon back on Nov 12. I just caught up on three weeks of Jimmy Fallon in about 40 minutes, and this was the best part by far. The link to the full episode on Hulu is included below. Skip to about 32:40 to see their bit. Even if you think Penn and Teller are loudmouth assholes (well at least one of them), you cannot deny they are great at magic. For the record, I think they are hilarious, and Bullshit alone is worth the subscription to Showtime.
Dollhouse Cancelled
In a move that should surprise no one, FOX has announced the end of Dollhouse, marking their most recent cancellation of a promising sci-fi show that they banished to the Friday night lineup. I’ll admit that the concept behind Dollhouse was always more exciting than the actual episodes, but I blame a near-complete lack of support from the network for the ultimate quality of the show. After all, they only renewed the show after Joss Whedon proved he could slash the production budget by turning in the never-aired “Epitaph One” episode at the end of season one. Incidentally, that installment is worth the $1.99 at iTunes. I’m disappointed in the cancellation, but at the same time, we all need to admit this was no Firefly.
Oh, that shitty Kelsey Grammer show was cancelled too.
In Treatment Season 3 Coming in 2010
I’m in serious catch-up mode on my news feeds, and I can’t believe this gem has been sitting unread. Production is set to begin on a third season of HBO’s In Treatment, starring Gabriel Byrne as our favorite therapist. The caliber of acting and writing on this show is well worth the subscription to HBO, so I can’t wait for the show to come back next year.
