I have this thing with creepy children in television shows. Sometimes they aren’t even meant to be creepy but dang it all if they don’t just come across that way. My suspicion factor climbs about ten notches when creepy children turn up on paranormal shows thanks in the past to The X-Files. I mean, talk about abusing the creepy kid allotment.

So, when kids come across my screen while watching Charmed and they are forcibly TOO cute, I call shenanigans. It looks like with this particular episode I was right. Kids can literally be hell.

So You Think You Can Dance
1 of 9 Voted Off

Original Air Date: July 1, 2010

So the big question for me tonight is, will it be another girl? It’s already pretty heavily weighted on the guys side, and the guys rocked it last night again. Predictions are to see Melinda, Robert and either Kent or Lauren. And frankly I’m pretty sure Melinda will go home if she’s in the bottom no matter what. The judges were already regretting keeping her!

But we have a whole hour of fluff to get through first, so away we go with the group number! With such uneven numbers, some of the guys are partnered with each other. I hate the weird diaper costumes on the guys, but the dance itself is pretty powerful. And even Jose is fully in it, the fact that you can’t pick him out of the crowd with this type of movement is really impressive.

Last week’s hired killer, Kendra, is back and she wants her antiquated, unreadable software returned. Also, Madeline has a job for the gang, dealing with a group of drug dealers hanging around a community clinic. Michael is going to find out how well he can balance jobs, while dealing with an angry mother, slightly jealous Fiona and annoying clients.

As difficult as it can be to crack high tech, current software. It can be even more challenging to deal with out of date software. Michael goes to at least 12 different technology stores, but no one has the right hardware. It becomes apparent that they might not be able to get the right equipment and that it’s time to try and find Kendra. Although, giving the surroundings a closer look, Michael realizes that she has already found them. They lead her around, hoping to catch her in a trap, but she’s too quick. Escaping the back alley, leaving a phone behind, so they’re at least in contact. It’s clear that Kendra is good, there’s something about her training that leaves Sam unsettled.

When we last saw our HankMed heroes, Hank was waiting on Boris’ jet in Cuba for Evan who meanwhile was being kidnapped and dragged into a car. I was hoping going into this week’s episode that this storyline would be wrapped up satisfactorily and quickly, because I truly feel as though our gang is at their best when they are all together back in New York. I was very happy with the episode until the end; but we’ll get back to that later.

Hank goes back to the house looking for Evan and Boris is there having lunch with Marisa. He and Dr. Caseras still can’t see eye to eye. He’s all about the medical and she’s all about the science.

This episode is by far the most bawdy and hilarious we have had so far! The chemistry between our four ladies is really starting to show. It’s not just the characters either; it comes through from the actresses. 

To start the show, we hear a siren and Elka gets up and says that she isn’t there. Melanie asks her what the police would want with her. As the siren fades in the distance, Elka looks at her innocently and says, “What police?” Ha! Already off to a great start.

The end of season 3 is already upon us. 13 episodes later and we find out that Mary has a half brother, that Jinx is capable of cleaning herself up, that Brandi could possibly have some kind of career motivation, and even got a glimpse of what Marshall’s formative years were like. More importantly we got through season 3 without anyone being shot! Although I feel as though I’ve been shot with the last few minutes of the show.

In continuing with the father theme of this season, we begin with a priest in a strip club.

TwoCents and Five Questions With Willie Garson

…Willie Garson, Actor

Maybe you remember him as Stanford on Sex and the City. Or maybe like me, you remember him as “Evil Willie” from Celebrity Poker Showdown. But chances are you know hard-working character actor Willie Garson from something.

Currently, he’s playing the foil as lifetime criminal Mozzie on USA’s hit series White Collar. As the show gears up for its second season, Willie was kind enough to answer a few questions about what lies ahead and then some.

TheTwoCents: First off, the obvious – what can we look forward to with your character in Season Two?

When we left our heroes, Matt and Harriett were thisclose to being on-again. Jordan made a big play for programming, which only served to piss Jack off. Matt and Simon plucked a struggling stand up comic off the stage and sucked him into the writer’s room. Martha, a big shot writer is in and out writing a long lead story for Vanity Fair. And well, all that business about putting on a live television show every week.

What follows is a two-parter that, in my humble opinion, is some of the best comedic writing on television ever. It’s not cheap, it’s not simple, and it’s pure genius. If you only watch two episodes of this entire season, watch these.
