Hi! It occurs to me that I watch a lot of the shows you talk about in here and am generally pretty well caught up...so yay! TV talk with Buffistas!
This week's Castle was my favorite. The first two minutes alone made me giddy.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

The status is NOT quo.

Do we talk about Grey's in here? It's been more soapy, but I find it becoming very procedural this season. They're trying some different stuff and while I was ready to give up on the whole thing last year, I'm really enjoying it this time around.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Greys is not considered a procedural, so it is usually discussed in Natter using spoiler font.

Ah, okay. Thanks!

In the inevitable circumstance when Stokes sleeps with someone other than his wife, I hope he and his wife are divorced or formally split before this occurs.
I wouldn't think so. Part of what I like is that he has a supportive wife that gets him.
I'm not pleased with the introduction of a cranky boss. I liked the idea that Burke was in charge and we wouldn't have to go through this song and dance every week @@
From the previews, looks like they've replaced Burke's old junior agent with the new one from this week. I'm not pleased, I liked that we wouldn't have to deal with the stupid banter/tension between Caffrey and the junior agent, but it looks like that cliche is back. Plus, we lost a two minorities - a black character and a lesbian character.

I like the supportive wife, but there aren't too many shows where a husband-wife relationship is intact. Maybe this survives? By 2nd or 3rd season, I'm betting not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You're very jaded, LeNub. I hope this show keeps DeKey's character (what's his name, again?) pretty much on the straight and narrow, and Neal a romantic piner for a while,

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ha! yes I am. I get it honestly.

Just watched Friday's Numb3rs. I'm not sure that I like this "quirky guest professor of the week" thing. On the other hand, it's more realistic for them to call on people with various types of expertise instead of Charlie, Larry and Amita having all of the scientific knowledge in the world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's the quirky part that bothers me, more than their cost-cutting rotation. Are Charlie and Amita really that exceptional, that they can pass for normal?
But even worse was the invisible cellphone Pentagon guy. That was way too precious.
