I’m still watching “Revolution.”
Two of the plotlines – big storm traps Annoying Kid with Gus Fring, and the Creepy Kipnapping Hermit – felt like they fell out of some old “Knight Rider” or “Fall Guy” episodes.
The lady doctor died, following a lot of not-very-surprising-or-interesting lady-doctor flashbacks, but I never much cared for that character anyway. (She’d rather kill herself than build a steamboat? I think Tom Hanks was able to find his way to the trade routes by surfing with an outhouse door in “Castaway.”)
The only genuinely compelling thing about the whole episode, I thought, was the final flashback depicting the Elizabeth Mitchell character ditching her beloved family to turn herself into the Miles Matheson, Monroe Militia. Dang you, Bad Robot! I want to know why she would do that.
Premiering tonight:
Brokaw Files (10pm Military)
Celebrity Crime Files (10pm TV1)
Crash Course (10pm BBCA)
My Shopping Addiction (11pm Oxygen)
"The Voice" hit a Monday season high last week! Americans love giant red swivel chairs!
"Jersey Girl" is gone, but my pick for earliest cancellation, "Mob Doctor," somehow clings to life.
"Partners" and "Hawaii Five-0" are now two of CBS' weakest performers, despite strong lead-ins.
"Gossip Girl" and "90210" are off to such weak starts, they're making "America's Next Top Model" look strong.
