So is it official? Are we going to open every episode with Addison talking to her unseen shrink or in bed with Sam?

Now, I’m not complaining about seeing Taye Diggs in various states of undress. However, when we see it every week it begins to lessen the effect, right? But lots of other things happened in this episode, so let’s get down to it…

This was a great episode. Each week we’re watching Emily’s well-laid plans come together to destroy another person involved in the plot against her father. And we gain an understanding of just how big that conspiracy was, how many people knew it wasn’t true but to save themselves or benefit themselves went along with it.

But with this episode, for the first time, I questioned my support of Emily’s plans, and the lengths to which she is willing to go to exact her revenge. Isn’t there any room for mercy in revenge?

Modern Family never fails to entertain and this week was no exception. The episode starts out with Claire almost running over Phil in her van while gossiping to Haley and Alex. Claire claims that the reason is the absence of a stop sign at that intersection- you know what Claire is going to do!

She is going to get a stop sign put there. If you watched last season, Claire had a similar run in with traffic in the episode “Slow Down Your Neighbor”.

It’s time for week 4 of Top Model! I am so excited about this episode because I love CSI: Crime Scene Investigation! Vegas, baby! As usual, we pick up right where last week left off. Angelea waxes poetic about being in the bottom two. I don’t love Angelea, but tonight was a very good night for her. The girls all toast with wine, except for Lisa, who has been sober since she was on Celebrity Rehab. Good for her! I don’t like her, but I know how hard addictions can be to break. I’m so proud. *tear* Seriously, it’s not easy.

Mail call! All the girls get packages or letters from home, except for Camille, who gets a box of bills. How come? I don’t think they’re allowed to handle that stuff while they’re on the show, are they? Anyway, let’s move on.

Charlottesville, Quantico’s own backyard, is shaken up by a mass murder at an internet security company. An up and coming company which hasn’t been around long enough to make enemies in the business.

All but one of the employees are killed, the only one who got away was lucky enough to be on a planned vacation to a Doctor Who Convention. A small detail which peaked an interest in the BAU’s local geek Doctor Reid.

This weeks episode of The Middle was hilarious! This episode definitely was the best of the season so far in my opinion. It may have been one of the best of all of the seasons so far! This episode was a classic all American family story and I loved it! Frankie is reaching that point in her life that she is realizing what she could have and not thankful for what she does have.

This episode starts off with a scene that many Families can relate to. Sue is taking too long in the shower and Frankie is already an hour late for work so with a towel wrapped around her held up with snack clips, washed her hair and underarms with the kitchen sink sprayer. I was laughing so hard in this scene. I will say that my mornings are busy and crazy and I have been close to the towel image!

At last – my most anticipated new show of the season. I’ve been waiting for this since the first commercial. I’ve explored the interactive website for the house. I’ve even registered my mailing address – I’m supposed to get an “artifact” from the house for doing it. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I love horror movies, shows, books, etc. I come from a family of horror buffs – I was raised on this stuff – and I’m so hoping that this one may live long enough to reach some conclusions. I’ve been disappointed so many times in the past by networks pulling the plug before the end (Kingdom Hospital, Golden Years, American Gothic, etc.) that I’m almost afraid to get drawn in.

Almost. It’s a different climate now; horror is surviving on the alternate networks, and this one’s on FX, a network known for pushing the envelope, that can get away with being more graphic.

There have been a lot of changes to this show lately. I was starting to worry the writers got rid of bewildering plot twists. Thankfully, they didn’t. They just put them all into the final minutes of this episode.

We start out with a pregnant 13-year old. So far, so SVU. She won’t say who the father is, which raises suspicions quickly, and gets Olivia to try to talk to her. She at first says that God got her pregnant. Oh, okay.
