Prime Picks
One Tree Hill (The CW): New. Brooke blows up on Julian over what she thinks happened between him and Alex. Haley’s mom gets worse. Clay is having difficulties with some unsettling advances.
Life Unexpected (The CW): New. The station management is pressuring Ryan and Cate to have Baze on their show. Lux attempts to get Jones to not press charges against Bug. Plays again Wednesday night.
Greek (ABC Family): New. Casey sets up a date for Rusty and Katherine. Natalie is attempting to mess things up for Ashleigh. Even tries to bring out Rebecca’s romantic side. It looks like this show will be back for a fourth season.
Solid Selections
House (FOX): Repeat. The “Ignorance Is Bliss” episode from earlier this season replays, where a brilliant physicist that is no longer working in his field has a bunch of symptoms that the team can’t seem to diagnose.
24 (FOX): New. President Taylor continues to move forward on the peace agreement. Things are getting personal for some of the operatives, as blame is starting to be assigned for recent events.
Damages (FX): New. Patty and the D.A. are trying to get access to a witness before the other does. Hewes and Shayes interview a new candidate, who also talks to Ellen about working for the firm. Runs 61 minutes. Plays twice and again later, plus replays multiple times throughout the week. This is another great episode of what has been a great season so far. There are a couple of dream sequences that mess with your head, but other than that there are some new revelations in regards to the Tobin case. Each episode has managed to leave you with a twist, yet this one is not quite as big as what we have gotten previously. But, that doesn’t make it any less entertaining and fun too watch. They always give you lots of options for what could be happening that when you see what actually did, it’s always a surprise. Are you one of the few that have been watching? What do you think of the show so far this season? If you’re not watching, you should be.
