Monk/Psych Xmas show update from the Futon Critic:

-- USA has booked its third annual "Monk" holiday special for Friday, December 7 at 9:00/8:00c. The episode, entitled "Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa," will lead into "Psych's" first holiday effort - "Gus' Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy" - at 10:00/9:00c that same night. Both series then will return for the back half of their respective seasons in January.

The Equalizer - season 1 is coming out on dvd. It's out on February 12th.

About bloody time!

NUMB3RS: I lost track of how many people were put into witness protection. I seemed like everytime they found a bad guy, they put them in. I was very confused.

I came in half-way through the middle. I was confused and bored, so I stopped watching.

Also, was that monastery the same garden location they used in a CSI (the one where Grissom and the deaf lady were conversing during his whole I'm Going Deaf phase)? It sure looked the same to me, and totally threw me out of the story. Which admittedly wasn't that difficult to do, since I was already disengaged.

I thought that the abuse of the Witness Protection Program was going to be the point -- that they were using it for some reason of it's own.

Elisabeth Rohm.

S worked on a pilot with her in it, that never got picked up. I got to see some of the dalies. If you think her acting is bad in a finished show, you should see The Expression in action in its raw form.

I was just watching some Elisabeth Rohm-era Law and Order, and all I could think after every random line was, "Is it because I'm a lesbian?"

I think that if I were ever fired from a job, I would have to stop myself from saying, "Is it because I'm a lesbian?" in response.

Heh.

If I hadn't just been happening to watch that episode when it happened I would never have believed it!

and I like Elizabeth Rohm.
