Bones: re: the preview--I was honestly expecting Angela to leave. Again kudos to the show for giving us a big romance without messing with the UST of the leads. I wonder who will catch the bouquet. I hope it's not Brennan, that's too obvious.

Yay, Dad's back!

I kinda hate the shared look at the officiant, because it's all "are they thinking about getting married?", and I'm sure it's got nothing to do with that.

I did like that the kid really was an obnoxious git.

The kid was hilarious! I would have liked to see more snark-off between him and House, but anything satisfying probably wouldn't have gotten past the censors.

I didn't understand the whole Foreman thing at first, but House is right that he's not ready to be a diagnostician like he is on his own. (So now I understand, I just don't care.)

The new CBS schedule - so far NBC has the most new shoes that I think I'll be watching (Pushing Daisies not withstanding.)

Tonight's Bones is the season finale, right?

---

Wait - Cane stars Jimmy Smits and includes Nestor Carbonall. Interesting.

---

yeah. all kind of hottness.

Also, Viva Laughlin is going to actually have Hugh Jackman IN it. From the CBS press release:

Executive produced by Tony and Emmy Award winner Hugh Jackman ("The Boy from Oz," "X-Men"), VIVA LAUGHLIN is a mystery drama with music about eternal optimist and freewheeling businessman Ripley Holden, whose sole ambition is to run a casino in Laughlin, Nev. Occasionally using upbeat contemporary songs to accentuate the drama and humor and advance the story, the series is based on the hit BBC show "Viva Blackpool." Ripley (Lloyd Owen, "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles") is the ultimate gambler with an infectious personality who is on the brink of making a killing... just as soon as he opens his casino that's nowhere near completion. When his financing suddenly falls through, the fearless and tenacious Ripley approaches his enemy - dashing, sarcastic, wealthy casino owner Nicky Fontana (Hugh Jackman) for help. Though the odds are stacked against him, Ripley doesn't miss a beat, even when he becomes embroiled in a murder investigation after the body of his ex-business partner is found at his club. At home, Ripley uses his dry wit to adjust to the demands of his family: his gorgeous wife, Natalie (Madchen Amick, "ER"), wants more attention; his teenage daughter, Cheyenne (Ellen Woglom, "The O.C."), wants his approval; and his son, Jack (Carter Jenkins, "Surface"), wants to help him at work. All of this adversity would defeat a lesser man, but for the outgoing and passionate Ripley there's no such thing as bad news, only deals to be struck and wagers to be won in the intoxicating neon glow of Laughlin, where the cards are on the table, romance is in the air and lively music is on the stage. Eric Winter ("Wildfire") and D.B. Woodside ("24") also star. Directed by Gabriele Muccino ("The Pursuit of Happyness"). Golden Globe Award nominee Hugh Jackman, John Palermo ("X-Men: The Last Stand"), Bob Lowry ("Huff"), Paul Telegdy and Peter Bowker ("Viva Blackpool") are executive producers for BBC Worldwide Productions, Seed Productions, CBS Paramount Network Television in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Snerk, have they *been* to Laughlin???

Yeah, Bones is pretty bad with the misdirecting previews, but it's reassuring to think that Booth and Brennan are probably talking about a corpse and grossing out the minister.

I read in the latest EW that Adam Beach is joining the cast of L&O:SVU next season--I might actually start watching that show now.

---

it's not worth it!

---

If only he were joining one of the other L&Os I might, but I just get too squicked by SVU.
