I watch CM every night at 7 when I get home. I know I have a cast iron stomach because I can happily watch CM and/or Bones without missing a spoonful
I would be there right now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The House-team-case flybys were hysterical, too. (Why was House soaking wet? Never mind.)
Totally.

So, does this mean that Cold Case is back in its old timeslot for good?

Was it a new Lie to Me this week? Because my tivo did not bother with it.

Yes, it was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I only caught it by mistake! It was new, and the listing said first airing 11/30/09, but for some reason it wasn't going to record it on its own. It was supposed to air a couple weeks ago--maybe that was the source of the confusion.
There was, like, no science in this one at all. Maybe two mentions of facial expressions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It seems like Lie To Me has been off time-wise in the past couple of episodes. The Black Friday episode and the Christmas party one.
The show isn't really great, but god, Tim Roth is.

I think they moved this Vegas one out of order and that made those two timed ones even earlier. But the next episode is in only two weeks, so they're back before Christmas anyway.
I appreciate what Shawn Ryan is trying to do with the increased edginess, and lord knows I like seeing Tim Roth on the knife edge, but I do miss the micro-analyzing of every move. They're falling away from that.

re Lie to Me--you mean they do even more analyzing of every gesture on that show? I knew there was a reason I changed the channel after House. But I did like Poppy.

More than what? They do less than last season. I liked it. In fact I even read the blog of the guy whose science it was based on--he deconstructs all their claims for veracity. It's pretty decently done given inflation for drama, just done less.
Who's Poppy?
I also found a blog of a law enforcement guy who picks apart the police errors on Castle. WTF? Why would you pick on a fluffy show like that? Oh, he mocks and he tears.
