Man, they're moving the Mentalist to Thursdays post-c.s.i.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It doesn't strike me as a 10 o'clock show. But at least there's nothing on NBC.

Oddly enough, the sherriff pinged me right at the beginning of the episode, but once the big reveal happened, it was like he was chewing scenery. Way too much with the crazy.
The sherriff bothered me, but I think that it was more the chewing gum like a cow than the sociopathness (although technically, he's probably more psychopathic)

Who played the Sherriff - he looked familiar but I couldn't remember from what.
BTW, it looks like Jeremy Northam is in one of CBS's midseason replacement shows.

You know, I'm really really tired of shows using a sort-of-southern accent to indicate that someone's stupid/ lower class/ criminal. I mean, the sheriff in Mentalist was from California, and as far as I know, even in southern CA you don't get that kind of accent (family farm - means he grew up there!). snarl
And Supernatural once did a show set in, I believe, Michigan ... and the family that was grabbing people and taking them home for supper all had drawls. grrr

NCIS does that a lot too. Particularly if they're showing local law enforcement -- if they have a suth'rn accent, they're stupid. Or crooked. Or both.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
the scene with the shotgun-- how Jane looked at first so full of resolve, then stunned, followed by the way he just dropped/tossed the gun? That was just really beautifully done by Simon, I thought.
That was great, Barb. Loved that, how he took himself by surprise.

::Skipped to the end because I haven't watched Bones or House for a month or more::
Did Medium watchers notice how the storyline last night cut the acting budget for next year?
Medium. The maturity and 'reality' of the Dubois marriage is one of the very best things about that show.
Yeah, what's up with that? I'll poke around and see if I can find any scuttlebutt when I have time. At first, I thought, "Great! They can invigorate their stories by transplanting them all to San Diego." Then the idea of Scanlon not being around really depressed me. I want to see him being a dad with Deputy Mayor. I can't picture the show without Joe in it for the same reasons bonny points out. Seriously, they can't do that! (He needs a haircut.)

Medium: Safe bet. Reportedly renewed for 13-16 episodes. Canceled by NBC; expected to move to CBS.
Add'l eta. Interesting link, if you haven't been following renewals - it's all the shows and their renewal status. Bones is officially renewed for TWO seasons. TSCC is officially gone (boo!).

Yay, Bones! But then Fox needs dependable shows.

The ending for Criminal Minds took me by surprise. I guessed which unsub was coming back, but I thought it would be for Morgan, since he has his ID.
I just read that Without A Trace wasn't picked up! I didn't know it was on the bubble. It's such a CBS standard-type show. I'm surprised. For this we get NCIS:LA? I love the Cool J as ladies do, but that's not a fair trade.
