Oh, I so totally agree! He seemed more mature back in Season 1 than he does now, even though he's so much older. The way he got led out of the bullpen by his hormones after the blood drive nurse was just pathetic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And they totally glossed over a totally valid idea that the bubonic plague experience gave him medical-related phobias. It would have made him sound so much less inane.
Where is the Tony that dated Jeanne? Show me he's hiding something or covering something. Spend more time making him deeply competent.
(I think they failed where SPN goes with Dean. Dean is intermittently totally inane, completely tortured, and scarily hyper-competent. That works for me. Tony spends too much time looking like a caricature)

Is the CM spin-off starting tonight?
I can't decide if I want to give it a try.

I'm dvring it, but mostly because of Jeanine Garofalo than anyone else. Unless it grabs me right away, I'll give it a few eps and nothing more.

I'm giving it a shot. I wasn't terribly impressed with them in the teaser episode last season, but we'll see.

Pilots (in this case teaser eps) almost always suck donkey balls, so I'll give it a go. Besides, I don't have anything else to watch at ten other than to switch over to CM reruns on Ion.

I haven't watched my dvr'd of CM:SB, but last night's original recipe show was boring!! Ugh, I just really did not like it at all.

SB threw me out of the story almost from the beginning because of the sloppy research. It was supposed to be Cleveland, yet the suburban landscape they showed had dusty mountains in the background. They also had the liaison be from the Cleveland PD-- Cleveland is like LA-- the city proper is actually small and in Cleveland's case, very urban. Any suburban area like what they were in would be in its own city and would have its own police department.
I know I know this only because I lived in the Cleveland area for ten years, but I'm accustomed to the franchise being a little more careful with details like that. Like in "A Thousand Words..." last season, they set it just outside Tallahassee and the roads they referenced were correct for the area they were talking about and even the outdoor scenes showed large oaks with Spanish moss draped over them-- totally apropos.
I'll still give it a go for a while longer though.
