Ryan Richards wins a cage match and then a body is found burned, his charred driver’s license and blood found next to the skeleton. How will Mac and his team be able to solve this tricky case, especially with Mac possibly distracted by beautiful journalist Jennifer Walsh (Vinessa Shaw)?

Finally! We’ve had a long time to wait to learn Bobby’s fate. Did he live or die? How will the brothers handle it? How will WE handle it? We don’t have to wait much longer to find out.
We’ve also been watching as Dean has been running himself ragged and not allowing himself to feel anything about everything going on with Sam and losing Castiel. Tonight we kind of see that come to a T and it really affects his performance on the case of the week. Let’s jump in and face the music, shall we?

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen the Reagan family and all its drama. When we last left the cop family, Jamie was undercover with the Italian crime family (although not too far into his case, he did manage to get beat up) and Erin’s love life took a turn for the non-existent after she fell for an art thief. Henry recovered from a heart issue and everyone else was doing their usual Regan thing.
This week’s episode brings up the “Big Brother is always watching” topic when it comes to police and excessive force.

With only a handful of episodes left, tonight Chuck reminded us about the laughs. I guess it’s only fitting that the episode would open with Chuck being held captive by a cruel baddie played by guest-star comedian Jim Tavaré (see photo below).
Why should we care? Because during the mission Chuck and Carmichael Industries decides it’s care or rather C.A.R.E. (Clandestine Agents Relating Emotionally) that will set them apart from other private security firms. Stick that in your P.A.N.T.S.

Oh Merlin, how we’ve missed you! When we last left our heroes of Camelot, they had just won a victory against Morgana and her evil sister, Morgause. Their plot left Morgana revealed to all as a traitor to King Uther, who is left ill after their plans.
But we know, the victory will be short-lived. Morgana has the crown in her sites, she’s felt it’s weight on her head, and will stop at nothing to get it back, or at the very least get her revenge on Uther and Arthur. Even if it means taking the whole world down with her…

So it’s been five weeks since the last episode of A Gifted Man and I can’t say I missed it all that much. I’ve said before that the show had a really good pilot and then went downhill quickly, and I really think they could have made a solid procedural out of this show, but the writers went for lazy and boring and now the series will probably be cancelled.
So as you can tell from the picture above, Michael is looking pretty rough. So what could he have been suddenly stricken with? Read on for tonight’s recap.

TBS has greenlit the new buddy comedy series Men at Work, starring Danny Masterson (That ‘70s Show, Yes Man), James Lesure (Las Vegas), Michael Cassidy (The O.C.) and Adam Busch (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). TBS has ordered 10 episodes of the multi-camera comedy from Sony Pictures Television and Fanfare.
Slated to premiere in summer 2012, Men at Work was created by Breckin Meyer (Robot Chicken, TNT’s Franklin & Bash), who is executive-producing with Fanfare’s Jamie Tarses (Happy Endings, TNT’s Franklin & Bash, TBS’s My Boys) and Julia Franz. Meyer wrote the pilot, which was directed by Mark Cendrowski (The Big Bang Theory).

When we last left our struggling Circle of witches, they had just managed to scare a group of witchhunters (including deceased Nick’s hunky older brother Jake) out of town, but not before Cassie learns about her dark magic from the supposedly extinct Balcoin line– and we learn someone else in the Circle has it too!
Meanwhile Dawn and Charles have caused problems with their desperate attempts to get back their magic, including killing Dawn’s father-in-law Henry and casting a spell to control Jane’s mind that has some seriously strange side-effects! What trouble will the witches of Chance Harbor find this week? Let’s see!

Can you believe that it’s been seven long weeks since we checked in with our favorite beach doctors? Last we saw Amelia had left rehab, Violet and Pete had agreed to split up, and Addison was staring at a pregnancy test.
We pick back up an indeterminate amount of time in the future. Maybe it’s real time, maybe it’s a few weeks later, but we’re not really sure. All we know for sure is that Pete and Violet are still split up, Amelia is still clean, and Addison is…
