So a Friday Night of too many drinks turned into a Saturday and Sunday of nothing but TV so I caught up on many shows and also checked back in with an old favorite.

If you haven't watched "Better Off Ted", you should check it out on Netflix Instant. While it's not exactly laugh out loud funny, it's consistently grin-worthy and is just a fun show. Portia De Rossi is quietly one of the better sit-com actresses out there but she can't seem to get onto a show that gets the love that it deserves.

As for the new shows, I watched the second episode of "Grimm" and it's officially the biggest waste of a cool premise that I've seen in some time. The show just feels amateurish. It's the kind of show that makes you start doubting the powers that be at NBC; it's really time for them to reconsider their brand or try to conjure up a new image because right now the Peacock is pathetic.
Also on NBC is "Prime Suspect" which is fine but it's about as plain as a procedural can get. There's really no hook to the show; it's essentially a Law & Order type procedural but without the Order half of the show. It's a good watch if you have nothing to do and nothing else to watch but there's really no reason to make an effort to check it out. There's just not enough to it.

On the Guilty Pleasure Watch, I caught up with "Hart of Dixie" and "Revenge". The cast carries "Hart of Dixie" as much as much as they can but there's just not enough there to really make it a quality show. The premise is kind of weak and as much as Rachel Bilson's character claims to be a great doctor, she screws up a lot. "Revenge" is surprisingly solid and any show that casts Margarita Levieva as a stripper wins some points. The main love triangle is kind of weak but it's still a good enough show to keep on the DVR or catch on Hulu when you have some downtime.

"Castle" has had as solid if not so memorable season so far. I watched the premiere of "Bones" and I think the pregnancy storyline could be a jump the shark moment. Just nothing about the characters felt right in the first ep; it almost felt like a reunion episode where everyone was trying to play the roles they once had but nobody was all that committed to it. I'm not sure why I keep watching "Body of Proof". Maybe I just like Dana Delaney that much. It's an average show; can't really recommend it.
