TV Catch-Up

JACK IS BACK!!! Taking a year off seems to have worked wonders for 24. The show is fresher, tighter and more exciting than it has been in several seasons. The writers made a good choice moving the scene to DC. Honestly, could we really have done another season in LA (especially since the last time we were there a nuke was detonated). I love that the new president has more balls than most men.

Lost: Great beginning. Another show that is getting tighter. Once the writers decided on a time frame to wrap the show the stories found more focus. I am glad we are finally finding out a bit about the special qualities of the island. I am hoping that this year reveals that Ben is truly a good guy. It is just a feeling I have.

CSI: Grissom's exit was, at best, a huge disappointment. The ending scene was a contrived pre-teen fantasy.

American Idol: I'm taking bets on when bikini girl is disqualified for inappropriate behavior with a member of the cast or crew. The 4th judge is a nice addition. She seems balanced until contestants disrespect the other judges. I miss the freaks.

Biggest Loser: This week's ep was heartbreaking. The two youngest members up for elimination with the largest member of BL being eliminated. There was a ray of hope...the follow up showed he had lost 101lbs so far. A personal note: I'm pushing a friend of mine to audition. He is working to lose weight on his own and is keeping pace with the contestants on his own. He could totally win this and that would provide the money for him to complete his education
