What the—? Did anyone see that ending coming? Once again, The Vampire Diaries ups the ante and completely changes the game. With the full moon rising in Mystic Falls, Elena prepares for what may be her last day alive. As we edge closer towards the season finale, tonight’s episode brings us death, near death, un-death, and one hell of a twist.

One of my favorite shows to watch is finally returning. In Plain Sight is returning to the USA Network on Sunday, May 1 at 10:00 ET. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen to Mary and Marshall, and most of all, how is Marshall’s feelings for Mary going to affect their working relationship.
Well, here are a few of the questions and answers we got from the actors themselves, Mary McCormack and Fred Weller during a recent interview. Don’t forget to enter our In Plain Sight giveaway over to the right on our main page.
TheTwoCents: Mary, what do you continue to enjoy most about playing your character?

Our favourite fictional television personality, Perd Hapley, asks in this episode, “Is this art, or is this pornography?” and that question becomes the centre of this week’s outing. In a sharp take on censorship and the easily offended, Jerry’s latest painting causes quite a stir in more traditional Pawnee folks but gains a fan in Leslie for a very specific reason. Andy and April accept a new roommate who must take on the task of the newlyweds how to live like actual adults.
Sounds like a disaster? It is, but a very hilarious one at that.

And now we’re down to five. It was an elimination show with little surprise to it. Really, only two contestants were obviously not going to win, so we knew one of them was going. The other will probably go next week.
The show started off with the contestants going to the British Consulate to celebrate the Royal Wedding with a member of the royal family. (Who, I guess, is not that close of a family member as to get invited!) This didn’t really have anything to do with American Idol. Very disjointed.

After yet another hiatus, Grey’s Anatomy returns with the first episode after “Song Beneath The Song.” I really loved that episode and I know that a lot of fans did, but there are also enough fans who didn’t like it one bit. Apparently you either love it or hate it – there seems to be nothing in between.
In the last episode, little Sofia Robbin Sloan Torres was born and she had a very harsh welcome into this world. And while she fought for her life in the NICU her mom is struggling to get by in the ICU. Since both are too unstable to visit the other, Callie has only seen her daughter on pictures and videos. Both Mark and Arizona are taking turns visiting Callie and Sofia while they are working.
new season, new co-star?
The Hollywood Reporter reports that show creator Chuck Lorre is looking to reboot Two and a Half Men without star Charlie Sheen and with co-star Jon Cryer in a larger role.
Reporters Kim Masters and Lacey Rose explain
“Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that series co-creator Chuck Lorre has hatched an idea to reboot the Warner Bros-produced sitcom with a new creative direction that does not involve Sheen, who was fired from the series in March. Lorre is said to have presented close associates and Men co-star Jon Cryer with the plan, and the studio and network are aware of his intentions. According to an insider, Lorre has told Cryer this re-boot would involve a significant role for him and the introduction of a new, yet-to-be-cast character.”
Hopefully, more details about the ninth season can be announced at CBS’s upfront presentation in May.
Read the original story here.
Update: In a letter sent to TMZ, Charlie responded to the latest news from Lorre and company once again attacking the Two Men creator for not complying to his demands for a return to the show. Calling Lorre “A narcissist. A coward. A loser. A spineless rat.”, Sheen insists that Two Men isn’t going to last with the ratings he expects it to get. Will Chuck reap the whirlwind and wasn’t that his brother’s line in Young Guns?

Break-in at LaRoach’s house! This is clearly not a random hit, though. The guy is getting into the safe, and starts pulling things off the bookshelf. When the burglar overstays his welcome, LaRoach makes his appearance, carrying his very manly yappy dog in one arm and his gun in the other. He makes a run for it, but the cops are there and catch him. Once he’s in custody, though, we catch Jane’s conspicuous car speeding off in the background.
Meanwhile, at Sterling Electronics, an electronics repair shop, the establishment’s owner Ted Fisher has been found dead. Rigsby and Cho talk to the homeless guy outside to see if he saw anything, while Grace and Lisbon look around inside. Jane shows up late with some excuse about checking escape routes, and declares the murderer was looking for something that he didn’t find — as is indicated by the fact that the whole room is torn apart.
Back at the headquarters, LaRoach informs Lisbon about the break in at his house, and meanwhile, Jane sneaks down to the holding cells to see the burglar. The burglar is someone from last season — Donny Culpepper, who featured in 2×09, A Price Above Rubies. Jane hired Donny to steal something from LaRoach’s house, but what? And why? If you’re guessing that it has something to do with Red John… well, you don’t get a prize, but congratulations for having the most basic grasp on Jane’s character. If Jane doesn’t get Donny out of there, free and clear, then he is going to sing like a canary come court time on Monday.

Last week we were teased with a bunch of episodes that could have been (and still can be… hint, hint Community staff) as the group reflected back on the past semester. The only thing they didn’t reflect much on was Shirley’s pregnancy.
Well, sure enough we get back to the status and drama of the possible heir to the Chang dynasty. Get your Chang on, because things are about to get a little crazy in class today.

Alright, I’ll be honest. The previews of Amy kissing Sheldon made me *dread* this episode. It was a lot better and funnier than I thought it would be, but still a bit perturbing.
Ok, so, the opening scene starts off a winner. Sheldon busts into the bathroom where Leonard is showering because he has to pee. Bad. When he finds out Priya is also in the shower, he rushes over to Penny’s and nearly knocks her over to get to her bathroom! When he is better and everyone is clothed, he returns to charge Leonard with two violations of the Roommate Agreement: failing to grant him access to the bathroom in an emergency, and excessive shower occupancy.

Forgiveness is a hard concept to master. We can often accept and move past things, but can we truly forgive? That is the question posed tonight by tonight’s powerful episode of Private Practice.
There’s no way any viewer can forget how Lucas came into this world. Violet’s unhinged patient, Katie Kent, cut him from Violet’s body, absconded with him, and left Violet to die. Violet has long since physically recovered, but it was clear that the psychological scars are still fresh.
