An Enraged Wife, A Faux Birthday Sleepover and a Stroke of Luck. Review: Shameless - "A Beautiful Mess" 1

Let’s count the number of ways the Gallaghers have gotten themselves into a mess this week. I’d say Fiona (Emily Rossum) sleeping with Craig (Taylor Kinney) last week qualifies now that his wife, Lucy Jo (Brit Morgan), knows about it. I also think Frank (William H. Macy) has a mess on his hands as Sheila (Joan Cusack) gets closer to discovering the truth about him and his so-called job at The Alibi Room. Then, there’s Lip (Jeremy Allen White) trying to split up Karen (Laura Wiggins) and her fiancé, Jody (Zach McGowan).

Trust, The Bard, and a Decision, Review: White Collar - "Upper Westside Story" 3

After the rush of the mid-season premiere and the potentially game-changing news dropped into Neal Caffrey’s (Matt Bomer) lap, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from “Upper Westside Story” in terms of character development and connection. As is usual for this series, the episode plot and case-of-the-week is tight with a crafty, clever con and a layer of sentimentality that further endears our favorite con and FBI agent, Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) to us.

Review: #JustifiedFX "Cut Ties" ("a man who’s sleeping with his dead brother’s widow and murderess.." ) 4

“Cut Ties,” however entertaining, merely sets the stage for what’s to come. Raylan plays house with Winona; Boyd can’t seem to play well with others while he’s locked up and finally gets a moment alone to talk to Dickie; A Marshal is killed and new Asst. Director Goodall (guest star Carla Gugino) comes down to KY to find out what’s going on. Dickie reveals that an old family friend, Limehouse (guest star Mykelti Williamson) has his momma’s money, which poses an obstacle for Boyd.

Review: House of Lies "Microphallus" (Don’t Tell Me “Teenis” Didn’t Make You Laugh) 8

I enjoy “Microphallus” but there’s something missing. The usual laughs aren’t there because it borders on being a serious episode—dramatic rather than comedic.

Adultery, A Death Obsession, and a Premature Death. Review: Shameless - "I'll Light a Candle for You Every Day" 9

Morality comes to the forefront in this episode of Shameless, something the Gallaghers usually spend little time thinking about. Fiona (Emily Rossum) hooks up with high school sweetheart Craig Heisner (Taylor Kinney, The Vampire Diaries) on Facebook and must determine whether to sleep with him; and Frank (William H. Macy) has to decide just how far he’s willing to go to get his mitts on Dottie’s (Molly Price) money. Then there’s Kev (Steve Howey), who wants to buy The Alibi Room from Stan (Jack Carter); and Debbie (Emma Kenney) is obsessed with death following Harry’s passing last week.

Review: Spartacus: Vengeance "Fugitivus" (Blood Soaked Vengeance Stained on the Lips of Gladiators) 10

As I watch anxiously to see how McIntyre embodies our beloved Thracian, I am happy to report that not only does McIntyre perform admirably, “Fugitivus” in and of itself is enthralling! I wait with bated breath as the first scene unfolds, bloody and unyielding in its violence. If you are faint of heart and cannot stand the gore of blood splattering, I suggest you steel yourself because this is a show not to be missed!

Advance Review: The Finder "Bullets" (A 20 year old Bullet & the real Miami Vice?) #follow @TheFinderonFOX 13

“Bullets” is not only intriguing with how Walter puts his unique methods of finding things to the ultimate test – finding a 20-year-old bullet in a swamp that is now a storage facility with a paved parking lot – but it’s also very entertaining and has tons of witty humor. And how can you go wrong paying homage to Crockett and Tubs of Miami Vice fame?

Review: New Girl "Story of the 50" (I'm Getting One of Those Jars) 14

Drunken Nick antics, douchebauchery, and the Benjamin beat down don’t really redeem “Story of the 50.” If I can be honest, the Sundrop commercial during the break was funnier than the entire episode. And that’s not saying much.

Review: Alcatraz - "Ernest Cobb" – An OCD Sniper and a Few Time Travelers 16

Don’t let the initial dark, eerie voiceover and music lead you to think this is another cheesy paranormal show. In its two-hour premiere, Alcatraz uses its first hour, “Jack Sylvane,” as an introduction to the characters and to put the show’s premise into context so the at large storyline can be set free. The second hour, “Ernest Cobb,” serves to transition the viewers into the show’s concept and into the action without skipping a beat.

Review: Shameless - "Summer Loving" (Relationships Aren’t Always What They Appear to Be) @Sho_Kareem 19

“Summer Loving” is all about relationships, both new and old, but not all work out as planned. Frank (William H. Macy) pursues Dottie (Molly Price), a woman awaiting for a heart transplant and doesn’t have anyone to inherit her home and pension should she die; Ian (Cameron Monaghan) resumes his relationship with Mickey (Noel Fisher) now that Mickey’s out of jail; and Lip (Jeremy Allen White) comes to a realization about his relationship with Karen (Laura Wiggins) now that she’s seeing Jody (Zach McGowan).

What’s happening to The Vampire Diaries I know and love? It seems we’re going down a dark path with these episodes lately. Although Stefan and Klaus (in a weird fatherly manner) totally rock this episode, I don’t feel the writers are progressing with the story.

TV News: HBO's New Drama Series, Luck, Starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, Premieres Jan. 29 22

When I was a young girl, my father owned a race horse named Paula Vo. I used to love going to the track with him and watching and learning all the ins and outs of the racing world. So when HBO announced it was going to air Luck, a new series giving us a behind-the-track look at the world of horse racing and gambling’s denizens – owners, trainers, jockeys and gamblers – I was thrilled. From acclaimed director Michael Mann and Deadwood creator David Milch, the nine-episode premiere season of Luck stars Oscar® winner Dustin Hoffman and Oscar® nominee Nick Nolte, and debuts Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 9:00 pm ET/PT.

After being shot, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) is definitely off his game. With Boyd (Walton Goggins) finally within reach of getting his revenge on Dickie (Jeremy Davies) for shooting his beloved Ava (Joelle Carter); the new player Robert Quarles (Neal McDonough) shaking up the Dixie Mafia like he’s churning butter; and Ava showing some serious gumption in Boyd’s stead, it’s getting down and dirty in Harlan.
