Life Unexpected – Ocean Uncharted (S02E01)
The CW
If you’ve already seen Life Unexpected’s first season on The CW, you might be surprised at how pilot-like this episode feels like. You’re introduced to the whole gang again with the addition of many more characters–all fitting nicely into the antagonistic stereotypes we’ve come to know so well on TV. I wondered why I liked this show at all because the writing and acting is pretty average for the most part. But, I keep coming back for Lux. Not only one of the best character names in any show, but an endearing and wonderful actor. She’s the heart …
Modern Family – Pilot (S01E01)
ABC
If you didn’t see Modern Family last night and you’re reading this review of the episode, stop. Go watch it, then come back. This show is officially my favourite new comedy of the year. And, it’s all because of one scene. Seriously, if you didn’t see it, go watch it now. The rest of you, follow me.

Here’s the general idea: A celebrity is matched up with a regular person. Like charades or pictionary, they are given a word (aka password) to portray to their partner, but in this case, they can only give hints in 1 word doses. For example …
Bones: The Pain in the Heart (S03E15 – Season Finale)
FOX
This show really isn’t afraid of doing what it wants.
Sometimes, shows become complacent and formulaic the point where it becomes a detriment. And, whether it works or not, you have to give credit to those shows that try and change things up once in a while.
Hart Hanson and the Bones crew definitely shook it up to finish up the shortened third season of Bones.…
