Simon is playing at the park with his little daughter. Of course, the kid is going to be the patient because this is House and this show hates me. The little girl wants to ride the carousel by herself. Dad lets her but she has to promise not to tell Mommy. He’s videotaping the event. Uh, dude, Mom’s gonna find out if you film it. The first rule of getting away with something is to make sure there’s no evidence. Duh. The carousel starts up and then Emily has a nosebleed and falls off the horse. Oh my god, I hate this show sometimes.

House is taking time off to be there for Wilson in his cancer treatment time of need. Foreman brings in a new doctor, an Elizabeth Lawson, a developmental geneticist. She’s also Emily’s mother. Emily already has a genetic disorder. Chase is not convinced Dr. Lawson will be an asset as she’s too invested in the patient.

Castle
Undead Again

I am not afraid of zombies. Because, while undead, they can be killed. Which is probably why I sleep with a katana at my bedside, just in case.

I was actually really looking forward to this episode because I love impossible fantasy situations as much as Castle does. Also, all of the episodes this season that have looked like filler/gimmick setups always turned out to be dynamic plots. This episode was no exception, and I have to say that the personal connection Beckett made with one of the suspects made it one of my favorites.

Classical Night is back and I am so, so happy! This was my favorite night of performances when they did it back in Season 12. To help set the mood, special guests Jackie Evancho and Vittorio Grigolo perform with the DWTS band and extra musicians brought in to create a full orchestra. And the music is beautiful.

The dancing is also pretty spectacular as well. Along with the individual dances, we have team dances tonight – Team Tango vs. Team Paso. And to add to the excitement of the evening, someone finally pulls a 10 from grumpy old Len and gets the first perfect 30 of the season.

After the trial run of living with Zoey and Ava didn’t go well, Walden decides he’s going to let Zoey down easy that he doesn’t want to live with Ava (but still her?) and let Alan move back in. But things don’t exactly go as planned…

It’s a crossover episode with NCIS:LA tonight, not sure how they’re going to join forces, but I’m all for it. We start the night with a scary dude banging on the windows and doors of his ex-wife’s house. When the cops arrive, he is covered in gross boils.

Steve is still in the wind too, and Danny is not happy about it. But the case must be solved! Boiled dude has smallpox. So bio-warfarbae. ::sarcasm font:: Yay.

pmb@thetwocentscorp.com

As season finales go, the Good Wife’s year ender was a bit of a snoozefest.

Lets look at this time last year: Alicia packed up Peter and forcibly moved him to a new apartment, then got in a hotel elevator with Will on the way to open the doors on their long-thwarted passion. Now that’s the kind of cliffhanger that has you marking the days until the show returns in the fall.

Sorry everyone that this review is late but we all have to agree that this was the one of the best episodes yet! I am very sad the this season of Army Wives is coming to a close with only three episodes left but it just keeps getting better!

Anyway, in this episode, the Cruz’s find themselves in a lot of debt so Trevor and Roxy decide to help them since they know what it is like to struggle financially.
