05.30 NCIS 06.30 House 07.30 Supernatural 08.30 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia 09.00 Night Court NCIS. Season 5, Episode 6. "Chimera" The 100th episode of NCIS and one of the very best. The team are all alone on a ghost ship out at sea. As they try to figure out what happened to the crew they realise that someone (or something) on on the ship with them. Then Ducky announces that they may have only have a few hours to live... Supernatural. Season 3, Episode 5. "Bedtime Stories" This is goofy story. You really have to take a leap of faith to accept this one. But I love stories like this. She-Wolf Of London did an episode somewhat like this, and Kolchak's later episodes were "out there" too. On stories like this, I really admire the creativity of the writers. Hmm...

NCIS. Season 5, Episode 5. "Leap of Faith" NCIS is not like the other CBS crime procedurals. Witness the scene where Tony and McGee are waiting outside the office of the man they are supposed to be questioning. Tony has an embarrassing picture of McGee on his phone and - while left completely alone - the two men get into a long wrestling matching for possession of the phone. Eventually they are caught and have to identify themselves as NCIS agents on a case. Hilarious, and an example of why I love this show. It's fun. Supernatural. Season 3, Episode 3. "Bad Day at Black Rock" 'I'm Batman' declares Dean at one stage in this delightful episode, the latest in a long line of very, very funny SN episodes.

07.30 NCIS 08.30 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia 09.00 Supernatural It's a fun episode. Tony is relentlessly hilarious in this one. Supernatural. Season 2, Episode 21. "All Hell Breaks Loose" It's been a great season for Supernatural. They've added humour to the mix. They've locked down and defined a lot of the rules of their world, while - at the same time - broadened out the show by doing standard stories from the Fantasy genre (Zombie Flick, Parallel World, I can't wait to see them do a time travel story!). Highlight? Supernatural (Dean can't live without Sam) Yet Another TV Review Podcast Yet Another TV Review Book Yet Another Film Review Blog

NCIS. Season 5, Episode 3. "Ex-File" One of the best episodes. The case-of-the-week is so-so, and the twist is the exact same as one the pulled in Season Three, but this one introduces us to Gibbs' ex-wife and shows that his relationship with Hollis Mann is alive and well (I like this character and enjoy her relationship with Gibbs). Kathleen York (looking amazing, as ever) is perfectly cast as the ex-wife and she gets several great scenes (particularly the last one, where she and Gibbs are nice to one another). A lot of the stuff that we knew anyway is pieced together in this episode and Hollis Mann learns a lot of Gibbs past for the first time. Their scenes together are great. Particularly the final moments of the episode where she finds the tape cas...

05.30 NCIS 06.30 Cavemen 07.00 Ben 10 07.30 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia 08.00 Legend Of The Seeker NCIS. Season 5, Episode 2. "Family" Sometimes the show finds very tenuous ways to make the case-of-the-week a navy crime. Like this week: the victim just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the actual case is a baby kidnapping thing. Not usually what we see on NCIS, but it make for a good case. Especially when it prompts Tony to do some deep thinking about his recent ill-fated romance. There are many great character scenes. Ziva cornering Tony in the toilets is one of the best. And her obviously affection for him is wonderful to see.
