Sons of Tuscon 1.01 – Pilot (FOX) Series Premiere

This is a new comedy and I will wait until a few episodes to say anything. Unless it totally rocks my world.

Sunday 14

In the tradition of “Malcolm in the Middle” and “The Bernie Mac Show,” SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we’ve ever seen.

The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, Ron Snuffkin (Tyler Labine, “Reaper”), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family.

Robby Gunderson (Davis Cleveland, “How I Met Your Mother”), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn’t respond well to authority;

Gary Gunderson (Frank Dolce, “Doubt”), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is;

Brandon Gunderson (Troy Gentile, “Entourage”), 13, is a gentle free spirit who simply goes along for the ride.

Maggie Morales (Natalie Martinez, “Saints & Sinners”), Robby’s second-grade teacher and the object of Ron’s affection, might just be the only stable figure in the lives of this quirky quartet.

While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys will keep both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

Pilot: When the Gunderson boys Brandon, Gary and Robby hire Ron Snuffkin to pretend to be their father after their real father goes to prison, they find out that there’s more to their “fake” dad than meets the eye. Ron has to enroll them in school, convince Robby’s teacher to keep him in her class, sweet-talk the principal, locate mint-condition toy soldiers at his grandmother’s house and avoid a thug who wants his money.

House 6.05 – Private Lives (FOX) returns from hiatus

Monday 8th

House (Hugh Laurie) and the team take on the case of an avid blogger (guest star Laura Prepon, “That ‘70s Show”) admitted with sudden bruising and bleeding. From her hospital bed, the patient blogs about her symptoms, doctors and prospective diagnoses to her dedicated band of followers and solicits their advice on a course of treatment. Such openness leads the team to contemplate the value of privacy, especially after House and Wilson uncover secrets from one another’s past.

Monday 8th

Nate and Serena decide to explore the boundaries of their friendship. Blair suspects that Chuck is having problems forgetting about the woman (guest star Laura Harring) he saw at his father’s grave. Jenny agrees to accompany Damien (guest star Kevin Zegers) to a State Dinner but is unaware that he needs her help with a drug exchange. Vanessa and Dan attempt to move past the awkwardness of Dan’s confession of love. Rufus returns from a ski trip and tries his best to avoid Lily.

Castle 2.06 – The Mistress Always Spank Twice (ABC) returning from hiatus

Monday 8th

This is a show that keeps getting better and better and now its back with another saucy episode.

When a half-naked woman is found covered in caramel sauce and hanging by bondage cuffs in a public park, Castle and Beckett’s investigation takes them into New York’s underground world of sexual domination. Naturally the case serves as sexy fodder for their already charged relationship banter

This is what I am looking forward to on TV this month.

Vampire Diaries (Back After Hiatus)

Thursday, March 11

In the meantime, the main Vampire Diaries cast members gathered this weekend as part of a nationwide mall tour and answered questions from fans in Los Angeles. TV Guide Magazine was on hand for the event.

Asked what’s in store for Elena and Stefan, Paul Wesley replied:

There will always be conflict… Her mortality is a huge thing. What if she wants to turn? But for now they’re going to [be] a little less sort of serious and more like, ‘Let’s be a normal couple. Let’s laugh and do stuff that normal humans do.’

But for how long can Stefan and Elena be happy when Damon is around? A bored, aimless Damon (due to the news about Katherine), no less?

“Damon having idle time, not having a mission, is a very, very problematic situation,” Ian Somerhalder said. “I think there are more shenanigans [to come].”

Echoed Nina Dobrev: “I think his presence always has an effect on their relationship, even if he doesn’t do anything… You’re definitely going to see a Damon, Elena, Stefan trio, the three musketeers.”

We’re also gonna see at least one more flashback to 1864 before the season concludes.

I have watched some more finales since last. See part 1

Warning. Spoilers ahead.

Flashpoint [****]
Today they have a hostage situation in an ER. The teams pull through and have a nice gathering after a good days work. No cliffhanger but rather a feel good thingy.

Gary Unmarried [*****]
I just love this show. though last episode was 17th, and there is 3 more to air before this season is over.

Ghost Whisperer [****]
We get a new mystery with the book even if it feels a bit like The Charmed. I guess the closure about it is the wedding ceremony. It is true to the feel and spirit of the show.

Gossip Girl [*****]
High School ends and there is a hunt for Gossip Girl. Blair and Chucks encounter was very true to the show. Was that Rufus and Lily son entering from the side?

Kyle XY [**]
As this is the Series Finale I expected more. It went out with a half assed attempt just like the series have been handled lately. In the final moments of the show Michael Cassidy (this seasons bad guy) reveal that he is Kyle’s brother. The End.

Southland [***]
Southlands has a good vibe, the closing episode felt more or less like any other episode. Not many hints on what’s going to happen next season.

Supernatural [*****]
It starts with the Dean brothers are at war with each other. Supernatural has a long tradition of season finale action feasts and this is no exception. Talk about cliffhangers. The season ends with Lucifer’s approach and the dawn of Armageddon. Kind of leveling the playfield for next season.

The Beast [****] Series finale
Finding out who was behind at the last moment of the series was a nice finish.

Still left to watch is:
