Cheaters Never Win
One of the things that I really like about this show is its ability to provide side stories and undertones that allow the actual case of the week to not have to hold my interest in order for me to enjoy the episode.  Such was the situation this week when Booth and Bones investigated the ...

'Fringe' Parasites
Anyone with pets is a little too familiar with parasites: hooks, whips, rounds and so on.  Thankfully, those parasites aren't quite as large as the one infecting the victims of human trafficking in this week's episode of Fringe .  Those parasitic worms did provide something good (a ...

'Friday Night' Sadness
This episode of Friday Night Lights  was raw, emotional and tough to watch.  It was one of the show's finest hours (which is saying a lot for a series that's full of amazing outings).  I'll admit that I thought the death was going to be Matt's grandma, so learning that it was ...

Once Upon a Mattress Ad
This week's episode was sorta destined to fall short after last week's awesome outing, and yet, it had moments that made me very happy.  It's no secret that I enjoy the episodes that center around the glee kids and steer away from the Will/Terri/Emma triangle, so things were on shaky ...

Filled with 'Glee'
I haven't written about the wonderful Glee  here at PTR yet, but after this week's outstanding outing, I could remain silent no more.  I liked this show from the pilot, but I wasn't in love with it.  I enjoyed the episodes, but it wasn't like I was waiting for the next one with ...

Observing August
Today, on Thanksgiving, I am thankful that I have the day off so I can finally catch-up on some of my write-ups! Here are some thoughts on last week's stand-out episode of Fringe ... It pains me whenever I hear the depressing news that Fringe  is faltering in the ratings.  But ...

PTR Exclusive: The Lighter Side of Kari Matchett
By LillyKat PTR Senior Staff Writer Every once in a while, a girl just needs to make a little time for herself. Take a breath. Have a moment. Put saving the world on hold. Stop fighting the aliens. Meet up with the the dark lords of the underworld at a later date. Darling of all-things ...

Barney Calls the Plays
Barney was back and in a very big way this week!  Not that he abandoned everything that makes him great  while he was in a serious relationship, but it was nice to be able to both root against and for him and his never-ending quest to find the most creative way to pick up girls. ...

Lilly Crosses a Line
Was it just me or was this week's episode of Cold Case  feeling a little Deja vu? Just a couple of weeks ago we watched Lilly and co. solve the murder of a young, promising Philly soul singer and this week, we saw them solve the murder of a young, promising rapper. Same story (complete ...

Dinner and a Favor
Thanks to his brain tumor-induced coma, Booth is more aware of his feelings for Brennan.  He's also aware that, on paper, they make a terrible couple.  And now, thanks to the always-fabulous Gordon Gordon, he's aware that the heart wants what the heart wants (and when it doesn't get ...

'Friday Night' Divisions
One of the greatest things about Friday Night Lights  is its realism.  The show prides itself on it and its small, but devout, audience praises it.  And one of the greatest aspects of its realism is the relationship between Tami and Eric.  What couple hasn't fought over ...

Catching Up with 'Dexter'
By LillyKat PTR Senior Staff Writer I owe Dexter Morgan and Co. an apology. I'm not really avoiding him. Er, them. It's amazing how much DVR time one does NOT have when one is holding down multiple occupations. So goes the life of this particular writer these days. But perhaps what is most ...

How Two Friends 'Met' Again
"Everyone stop!!  Alan Thicke, shut up. Marshall, it's a station wagon -- get over it.  Ted, stop talking about porn.  And for the love of God, somebody get the Storm Trooper some Pizza!" -Lily "It's not a Storm Trooper!" - Everyone else And that, ladies and gentlemen, ...

'Case' is Off to the Races
It's fun to see a show that's boxed in by a formula do something a little outside that box. Such was the case with this week's Cold Case . The formula was still there (complete with the "who's the least likely suspect" game), but the story was just a smidge outside of the usual for this show. ...

Dust in the Wind
This week's episode certainly brought literal meaning to that famous Kansas song!  As Walter said, the victims were reduced to their most elemental state.  I tend to enjoy the stand-alone/freak- of- the-week episodes more than the mythology-laden ones and I thought this one was ...

Birds of a Feather
This week's episode of Bones could have been a preachy platform for animal rights enthusiasts.  It could have been anti-meat eater, but the writers did a nice job of presenting the wrongs of the chicken industry without crossing the line into activism.  Through the characters, we ...

A Tale of Two Dillons
I'm starting to miss the departed Friday Night Lights  characters a little less.  Maybe it's just that the abrupt changes in the premiere have had a week to sink in, or maybe it's because we got to know some of the new characters a little better, or perhaps, it's just the prevailing ...
