I hate to admit that at my age, I watch the entire Kardashian franchise on E. I don’t know what draws me to this fame-hungry family, but there I am – DVR at the ready each and every week. So imagine how happy I am at E’s latest announcement that they will be televising the wedding extravaganza of her royal highness (and I use that term loosely) Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.

With Stanton in jail, things aren’t looking too good as the evidence against him is overpowering and he is caught in a lie. Looks like the guys have their work cut out for them.

Rescue Me is known for taking a hard look at firefighters with some very dramatic scenes. But the opening sequence of “Brownies” has one of the most powerful openings I’ve seen in a long time. What starts out with Tommy (Denis Leary) and the guys watching the video tape of the 9/11 Memorial – specifically Tommy’s interview – turns into a free-for-all which ends up as a personal battle between Tommy and Franco (Daniel Sunjata). I was a bit surprised because I thought Tommy did a good job of keeping himself in check during the interview – until the end that is – but Franco has his own agenda in mind.

Once again, a show selects a title for an episode that’s not just a clever play on words, but houses a deeper meaning with one of the key characters. White Collar’s theme this season has been ‘choice and identity’ and “On the Fence” certainly showcases Neal Caffrey’s (Matt Bomer) struggle with both.

If you’re a fan of Syfy’s Alphas, you’ll love this list of guest stars the show has lined up. There’s Garret Dillahunt from Raising Hope, Summer Glau from The Cape, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Alaina Huffman from Stargate Universe, Rebecca Mader from Lost, Brent Spiner from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Lindsay Wagner from The Bionic Woman and more recently Warehouse 13, and Peter Wingfield from Caprica.

There are no funny lines this week as the episode is very somber, but that doesn’t diminish the enjoyment I got from watching the acting, editing and camera work.

According to Bravo, it’s had its “best second quarter ever.” So, it’s decided to increase the number of original unscripted programming. The new shows will encompass a new culinary competition, a look inside the lives of young women working in the hippest art galleries in New York, and a look inside the marriages of six newly-wed couples. Bravo has also renewed three of its major hitters. Since I’m into cooking and enjoy watching reality tv competitions, I’m looking forward to “Around the World in 80 Plates” (working title).

“The Carnival Job” has lots of twists and turns to keep everyone guessing and on their toes – both on the team and in the audience. Like last week, this episode begins with a legal issue, which may be the perfect hook for me! This week the writers do a better job getting the legal issues correct.

I know what you’re thinking: ‘Why did it have to be snakes?’ Actually, that’s probably what Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) is thinking when he’s called to investigate a dead body at a Pentecostal Charismatic Church. With the distraction of Sam Harper (Natalia Cigliuti) gone, Jim is almost like his old self again—scoping out the food at a crime scene, giving the M.E., Carlos Sanchez (Carlos Gomez), a hard time, and keeping witnesses and suspects alike on edge until the case is solved.

Ho, Ho, Ho! Santa’s here, giving out presents to all the little girls and boys. Big girls and boys too – well some of them, that is. But before I get ahead of myself …

Has Bill grown over the past year? I can’t see him giving up on his love for Sookie but it seems he may have. That’s surprising. Does this mean there’s hope for all vampires?

This is, by far, the first book I think I’ve read in only a matter of hours. Eight, to be exact. I could not put this one down.

With a title like “Love Machine,” you think the episode deals with something…sensual. Unfortunately, it isn’t about someone with an insatiable lust but rather, psychotic machines who refuse to share their mechanic Louis (Hugo Speer) with anyone. If you think having a lovelorn stalker is nuts, imagine having every machine you fix becoming obsessed with you. It makes you think twice about how you treat your toaster from now on (pets toaster 🙂 ).

Wilfred doesn’t like Drew despite what Jenna thinks. His seemingly obedient behavior comes as a shock to Ryan because Wilfred never listens to what he says. After being emasculated by Drew, Wilfred hatches a plan to sabotage Drew and Jenna’s relationship by manipulating Ryan into helping him. Of course, Ryan, being such a conscientious guy, has hesitation. But when Drew announces he’s moving to LA to live with Jenna, Ryan reconsiders Wilfred’s plan.

If you’re anything like me, you’re anxiously awaiting the return of HBO shows, Boardwalk Empire, Hung, How to Make it in America and Bored to Death. But mostly what I’m looking forward to is HBO’s new show, Enlightened, starring Laura Dern.

Two very interesting cases this week, both with sexual undertones. At this point in the season, do I expect anything different? No. Am I happy? Yes. I love me some Franklin & Bash!

Has Tommy (Denis Leary) lost his mind? He purposefully drives his car through the Verbatim store window after seeing a display of books on the 9/11 tragedy in one window, and a “Where Were You Then” memorial, complete with pictures of his fallen brethren, including his brother Jimmy, in another. He then pours a bottle of liquor on the books and lights them on fire. WTF? With this extremely powerful opening to “Press,” I’m glued to my television as usual, in anticipation of what will happen next.

At long last! Agent Clinton Jones (Sharif Atkins) is out of the van! I’ve been waiting for a Jones-centric episode like this since “Deadline,” the episode that dealt with Diana Berrigan’s (Marsha Thomason) life outside of the FBI. I think it’s safe to say “As You Were” is my favorite episode thus far this season. Memorable lines, grin-worthy dialogue, action, heartbreak, and two good looking men in dress whites…what more can a girl ask for?

Cathy (Laura Linney) stresses over money now that Paul (Oliver Platt) lost his job so she decides to pawn some jewelry. While she and Lee (guest star Hugh Dancy) nearly get mugged, Adam (Gabriel Basso) finds it difficult to keep his pants on but gets a pricy wake up call when he can’t afford to pay the hooker he called. Uncle Sean (John B. Hickey) to the rescue!

I’m over the moon! Franklin & Bash will be back for a second season and I’m thrilled beyond belief to report this news as I truly love the show. As a matter of fact, I praise Franklin & Bash each week in my reviews on this site. In my review of the pilot, I wrote, “There are hot tubs, parties, quirky dialogue, lots of T&A, and my favorite part – Gosselaar’s naked butt. I’d watch the show just for that!…It’s all just a lot of good lighthearted, campy fun with some mildly serious undertones.” If you haven’t been watching the show, start now folks. You’ll be missing out on a great show if you don’t.

The ending of this week’s episode actually had me shrieking “Oh. My. God!” Yes, I am that shocked by who is not called back this week. This show continues to grow on me, not because I like the tension of knowing someone is going to have their dream taken away from them, but because of the mirror held up to the television industry.
