When eight people, including two police officers, are executed in a coffee shop, an LAPD detective gets the team on the case, and they uncover a trail of blackmail, romance and corruption. Also, McGowan's investigation of Charlie and Don deepens.

8 Dead Bodies – 3 Cops – 1 File – 2 Days After The Murder

Here’s What We Learned This Week:

- From the first 2 minutes – nothing. Seemed to be clips from the episode BEFORE we saw it? I’m so confused!
- I’m a PC just like B.G.
- Keith Carradine runs a tight investigation.
- Nobody leads Charlie Epps anywhere.

Gary Unmarried - Gary Gets His Stuff Back - Begs The Question

October 15th's episode of Gary Unmarried - Gary Gets His Stuff Back - features, well.... Gary getting his stuff back. I guess you really didn't me to spell that out for you, but I strive to be as helpful as possible. Just say "thank you" and let's move on shall we?

Ok, so anyway, this begs the question - ever lose something you REALLY cared about in the breakup / stuff division plan? I never got back by VHS of Hunt for Red October and now I don't know if I'm doing my bad Connery impression with lines from that or The Rock.

So, what did you lose? Share you TwoCents about it with us all in the comments!

Samantha Who? - So I Think I Can Dance - Begs the Question...

This week we were treated to the Samantha Who? premiere. In it Samantha has moved out to her own apartment (where Barry still lives while looking for a place).

So, Samantha got her own spatula and danced around (mostly) naked in her own place.

That begs the question - when you got your own place - how did you make it your own? Did you buy something special that proved the point? Did you dance around (mostly) naked? What did you do?

Gary Unmarried - Begs The Question...

This week Gary had trouble officially moving in to his single life. He was eating off of frisbees for crying out loud.

That begs the question: What is something that you've held on to for a long time because you were afraid getting rid of it would be the end to a part of your life?

Too deep for a 30 minute comedy? Eh, roll with it, won't ya?

KP on TV - Smallville Premiere

Ok folks, I have to admit it, I've never watched an episode of Smallville on the CW. It's not for lack of desire, it just was always on Thursdays where my TV world is a very busy place.

However, when CW started promoting the return of the young Superman drama, they said some magic words to me: "Who wants to see the return of the Legion of Superheroes?"

Summer Review Intro

I’ve got an idea for a hit TV show. It will be written by Aaron Sorkin who wrote The West Wing, American President and A Few Good Men. It will star Felicity Huffman from Desperate Housewives, Peter Krause from Six Feet Under and Dirty Sexy Money, Josh Charles from SWAT and Dead Poets Society, Joshua Malina from The West Wing and Big Shots, Robert Guillaume from Benson and The Lion King, Sabrina Lloyd from Ed and NUMB3RS, Teri Polo from Meet the Parents, Brenda Strong from Desperate Housewives, and the one and only William H. Macy from Fargo, The Cooler and Pleasantville.

Oh wait – this show already DID exist! It was called Sports Night and after two seasons of winning the “Best Show You’re Not Watching” award from TV Guide, it was cancelled in 2000.
