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.

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.

OK, I managed CM. Whoever wrote the Grandmother, I want to kiss them for days - that kind of acknowledgment is not common.

The grandmother was amazing.

Yeah, she was great.
