Buffy ,'Chosen'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
It seems that just about every show that I'm watching there's me waiting for the leads to get it on already.
Shhhh!!!! Have we forgotten the lessons of "Moonlighting"?!?! (Which is relevant, as it's definitely one of "Castle's" direct ancestors, along with "Remington Steele.") As soon as they get it on, it's over. Bad, bad things will happen.
this is a pretty persuasive article about "moonlighting" and that leads having sex aren't a death knell.
I think that it's not necessarily that the leads having sex is a death knell, it's that when they decide that the leads should have sex, it's usually a last ditch effort to save the show because nothing else (including the sexual tension) is working. So, the show is probably ending anyway, and the sex is an attempt to save it.
I hope Booth and Bones don't get together because that relationship would be a train wreck. They don't connect on some fundamental levels, most importantly religion. One of them would have to change in a major way to keep religion from being a nasty divider. Some people think fights and drama make a relationship exciting, but it makes things in the real world nasty, and the whole lab would take up sides, and it would turn into even more of a soap opera than it is.

Vortex nails it. It's pretty much the same as Poochie & Cousin Oliver.
Loved the hug and kiss at the end of Lie to Me. It's what I would do with a friend, but the way the actors worked it so the hug was more romantic than the kiss was perfection.
CBS is going to play the episode of Cold Case that was originally scheduled for October 18th on October 25th.
And they're going to repeat the Sunday episode of Three Rivers this coming Saturday at 8 pm Easter/7 Central.

East Coasters who watch Criminal Minds - I am on about 20-30 minutes delay. Are they trafficing babies is this going to be an adoption nightmare show? Not sure I can watch that.
There's no custody fight thing or child ripped away from non-psycho adoptive parents but it this is a seriously fucked up concept.
