Ha! I think Sepinwall's referring to a particular moment in the pilot, in which Charlie's mantra was "I'm not attached to this car. I'm not attached to this car" x repeat ad nauseum while he was totally in lust with his snazzy muscle car (which then gets destroyed by a tractor in a spot of a spectacularly inept driving by Ted.)

I'm finally catching up on Life and so far I really like the "15 lbs of bunny" line and "I'm not talking to a dead body, I'm talking to myself."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just watched Bones, finally, and clearly we got the reaction/follow up to the kiss outtake posted above, not the kiss they actually showed. Weird.

Was the Bones last night a rerun? according to Tivo it was new, but then the tivo didn't change the channel, so I'm not sure.

Medium's Season 4 premiere is 1/20/08.
eta:
[link] Article from Film dot com about Life, Bionic Woman, Journeyman, and Chuck.
Unlike Chuck, which built from a highly touted pilot, Life has caught on via word of mouth, and a very vocal and passionate online fanbase that has been begging critics to speak out in its favor. As time has gone on, Life has begun to remind me a bit of the late, great Homicide: Life on the Street, with its creative use of music and its odd bits of seemingly random dialogue. Crews and his partner Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi) invert the usual stereotype: the older man comes across as eccentric and often unserious; the younger woman is cynical and quiet. With all the procedurals around (one of which, CSI: NY, is the main competition for Life), there's a place for a character-based cop show that's aimed a little higher intellectually than Women's Murder Club.

Thanks for the info about Medium. For some strange reason, I absolutely LOVE Medium. I hated the premise, got caught up on Lifetime and now I'm hooked.

Well this is interesting: [link] A fan-based initiative to show support for Journeyman. Yeah, I don't know about that. Seems to me that you either support the strike or not, and I'm in favor of the writers.
Here's an earlier Journeyman plug from the same source: [link]

Medium has the best married relationship on TV, period (maybe ever?), and it is so good, it makes me love the show even more.* Alison is a terrific character. It's going to be interesting to see how she deals with being outed. I'm a little sorry they did that; I liked the set-up, but it makes sense.
