Episode starts out a little slow. Something about an observable black hole. Peter gets called for jury duty but he doesn’t realize that everyone actually gets called for jury duty. Jury selection begins and Peter goes into a rant about how much he hates ants. Err. Peter is doing awful (as usual) at jury duty. He’s hating it and wants to get out of it. When he hears on the news that the black hole is going to end life on Earth in about 24 hours!

Free Love

Woodstock: three days of music, mud, and free love. Unfortunately for one young GI, it also meant a premature end at the hands of an unknown shooter. He might not have gotten much in the way of free love, but it appears that several of our detectives might be, as Lilly, Stillman, Kat, and Vera either explore new relationships or rekindle old ones. In addition to all this, we have not one, but two cases to cover. Confused? Yeah, me, too.

Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Petition

oliver

Revolution is a big word to use, but Jamie Oliver has some big plans. Recently Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution hit ABC, which follows Jamie’s campaign to bring better, healthier food to schools and families in Huntington, West Virginia. He’s had his ups and downs, but is slowly making progress in the right direction.

Jamie is a father of three (soon to be four) who first brought his plans for change to schools in Britain in 2005. He pushed the idea that schoolchildren needed to eat healthier food and cut junk food. He got the British government to pledge to address the issue, bringing school meals to the political forefront. He was voted to be one of the most inspiring political figures of 2005 by a Chanel 4 news poll.

Now he’s bringing his program to the United States, and he doesn’t plan to stop in West Virginia. The impassioned chef wants to take his issue all the way to the President! How? He’s started a petition on his website for people to sign if they agree that schools need better nutrition and that cooking skills should be kept alive in this country to promote better health. If you agree with Jamie’s stance, go sign his petition and make a difference.

We’re all with Coco – and now he’s with TBS!!

Comedy icon Conan O’Brien is joining TBS to host a late-night talk show that is expected to debut in November. The Emmy-winning comedian’s new program will be followed by Lopez Tonight, which will shift to a midnight time slot.

O’Brien began talks in earnest with TBS just last week, after George Lopez personally called him to ask that he consider joining the network’s late-night line-up. “I can’t think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in,” Lopez said. “It’s the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy.”

Said O’Brien: “In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly.”

Catherine Howard becomes the King’s new playtoy, and Lord Cromwell is arrested and beheaded for treason. Let’s see what King Henry VIII has in store for us in his final season of The Tudors!

It’s the episode we’ve been waiting for: the flashbacks! The flashbacks have been all the talk for months now and are supposed to tell us why Dennis York is around. Is one of Nora’s kids really a York? Did William do something horrible and York is blackmailing her? Whatever it is, this is the episode that would answer it all. Mix that with the amazing previews (Justin telling Rebecca they should get married, Tommy yelling at Nora for lying to him for 25 years, Kitty getting her first post-cancer checkup results, Kevin and a “what have I done?” moment…) and it’s no wonder they called this a movie instead of an episode. Yes, Brothers and Sisters: The Movie…it was also two hours long so this will be a long review.

Farewell… Dixie Carter

…Dixie Carter, Actor

“Designing Women” star Dixie Carter, whose Southern charm and natural beauty won her a host of television roles, has died at age 70.

Carter died Saturday morning, according to publicist Steve Rohr, who represents Carter and her husband, actor Hal Holbrook. He declined to disclose the cause of death or where she died. Carter lived with Holbrook in the Los Angeles area.

A native of Tennessee, Carter was most famous for playing wisecracking Southerner Julia Sugarbaker for seven years on “Designing Women,” the CBS sitcom that ran from 1986 to 1993. The series was the peak of a career in which she often played wealthy and self-important but independent Southern women.
