I would be happier about two hours of 24 if it wasn’t airing opposite the NCAA basketball championship in which my team is playing. Why must Jack Bauer make me choose between him and Jon Scheyer? Sigh.

As they flee, the Hassans argue over President Taylor’s decision not to turn him over to the terrorists. It seems Hassan agrees with Weiss. So much so that he knocks Jack upside the head, pulls a gun on Renee, and freaks the heck out of his wife and kid. This doesn’t even have the “fun” in “dysfunctional family.”

Week three finds us one celebrity down as Shannen Doherty was sent home in this season’s first elimination. Last week, the stars were challenged by head judge Len to tell a story with their dance. The choices of dance tonight were Quick Step, Waltz, or Paso Doble. Some of the pros not competing the season started the show by performing the three dances we’ll see from the celebrities. Then it was up to the stars to tell their stories. So how did they do? Read on to find out.

MyTwoCents – 10 Reasons Why I’m Fighting For Human Target

I love Human Target.

I really do. I adore this show in a way that’s sort of like a great romance: hopelessly devoted and unable to keep my mouth shut. I get excited over it in a way I haven’t since 24 premiered almost nine years ago. I’m so hoping that it comes back for a second season that I’m motivated to do anything I can to make sure it does. And my affection for it is so pronounced that I want to spread the word about how it’s so downright awesome. If you’re not watching FOX Wednesday nights at 8 PM, you are truly missing something special. Here’s my top ten reasons why I’m pulling for a second season of this great series.

MyTwoCents – Save SouthLAnd

TNT’s SouthLAnd has had its ups and downs.

It began on NBC and was canceled after 6 episodes had aired to make room for The Jay Leno Show. Months later, TNT picked it up and aired the remaining two episodes and ordered a new season, but only asked for 8 episodes. The last episode airs this coming Tuesday and there is still no word if SouthLAnd will come back for a third season or have any more episodes ordered.

SouthLAnd has a huge – and truly loyal – following. It was saved by the fans and a huge Twitter campaign. Even the stars of the shows got involved. But the question remains: Can it work a second time?

When last we met, our fearless detectives (and a couple annoying FBI agents) had traced a series of shootings in the 1980s to the ever-popular cabin in the woods…but the shooter, it turns out, wasn’t Bill Shepard, as they’d thought, but his son, Paul, who was last seen carjacking an old man. Lots of questions remained unanswered, including whether or not Bill actually killed anyone, whether uber-annoying Agent Diane Yates was, in fact, the date of the first victim, and whether she’d continue to sink her cougar claws into the show as a whole, or whether she’d fade to a more appropriate role. How’d all this pan out? Read on!

Steve and Allie finally dethroned the ‘Stache Bros but lost all of their belongings on their way. The Cowboys are in deep trouble, thanks to coming to the mat without having finished their road block. With a non-elimination leg though, they were saved and now just have to complete a speed bump to stay in the game. The question is can they do it? Jeff and Jordan failed at their second chance. Hopefully the Cowboys have better luck.

Welcome back from the hiatus, everyone! Guys? Is anyone still watching this show? I confess, I completely forgot about its existence for a while there, and yet, this episode picks up right where we left off. Young is struggling with his conscience over leaving Rush behind to die on a deserted planet. TJ’s worried about him, while Camille is just suspicious.

Lois and Clark, a romantic getaway, a cozy B&B in the woods, and an evil Banshee? This is Smallville after all. Escape was full of relationships, suspense and good old fashioned fun.

Smallville has returned! Yes after yet another hiatus. Our favorite hero and sidekick Chloe are busy cleaning up the dangerous streets of Metropolis, all in the blink of an eye. Clark is after all in a hurry to get to his romantic getaway with Lois. How great is it to see Clark almost in superman mode! He’s one costume away, oh and the ability to fly!

Welcome back everyone! This week Arthur has a bad case of Whoa-I-Totally-Forgot-All-Of-My-Characterization, Merlin has somehow become a laughing stock, Gwen’s learned to use makeup, and Uther continues to be the most ridiculous person to have ever lived on the planet or in infamy or inside our imaginations or wherever the heck he exists.
