Extended NCIS preview.
I like the idea that Ziva was playing Michael at the instruction of her father. I'm less entranced by the idea of her being a mole because the office just had a mole in Lee, and it makes everyone look kinda stupid.
ABC, Fox, and CBS announce their upfronts.
Off topically, no more Cupid??? But on topically--they're calling the spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles? Really? When NCIS doesn't even have an LA office? How unimaginative.
NCIS: Los Angeles? Really?
They're too cheap to go to San Diego to film exteriors?
They're too cheap to go to San Diego to film exteriors?
Well, they've already copped to the SD office (Vance is from there) and that there's an OSP (Office of Special Projects) in LA, not another NCIS.
I'd heard it was going to be NCIS: Legend or NCIS: Undercover.
NBC canceled Medium, CBS decided to pick it up and insulted NBC in the process:

CBS's assertion that NBC doesn't have anything better to offer is not wrong.
Did Medium watchers notice how the storyline last night cut the acting budget for next year?
Maybe NBC would like to invest in Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Tonight is also, I believe, the Mentalist finale.
Simon Baker was in what I assume was a typically trite CBS morning show interview where they said that tonight
he meets Red John
and that
Red John will be an antagonist
for many seasons to come. So we'll see how that works out. Because it sure looked like they
had Red John in custody.
Mentalist: IME
"Tagliaferro"
is pronounced
"Tolliver"
in the US. Not so?
Was the
The Mentalist
doing some strange tip of the hat to
Life
there at the end?
I mean, without that shorthand, what else would one get out of seeing Jane plucking an orange off the tree mean?
Which immediately sent my tired brain into "CBS is gonna be the new home for Charlie and Dani!"
