Thursday night television is big in our house.
Last week, season two of "Person of Interest" came back. Mr. Finch has been abducted, Mr. Reese is looking for him with a single-minded determination that is frightening, it is still unbelievably violent, and Jim Caviezel is still so good looking as to be almost illegal, at least according to Mrs. Grandstander. The show is also unbelievably confusing. For the life of me, I have only the vaguest idea as to why this chick has kidnapped Finch, and what happened to all those crooked cops from last season who are threatening to kill Carter and Fusco? My advice is to not even try to keep all that crap straight, just take each episode as it comes and enjoy the ride. In fact, the convoluted back story to this show is probably what will eventually kill it, but until then, as Bette Davis might say, buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride! Enjoy it.
The show "Elementary" debuted last week. This is a reworking of the Sherlock Holmes story, but in a contemporary New York City setting. Some Brit named Jonny Lee Miller (close your eyes and he sounds exactly like Pierce Brosnan) plays Holmes, and Dr. Watson is a woman, played by Lucy Liu. I liked this shows first episode last week, thought it was fun and shows promise to be a good series. Check it out.
