I didn't get to finish this yesterday because there was a slight problem with our monitor. We ended up having to get a new one. It's a flat screen and it's bright!!!!

Joan Of Arcadia: It's too bad that this show didn't get renewed. After an especially dour season, the storyline between good and evil was just starting to pick up. With the introduction of a character, who was obviously supposed to be some sort of devil, the storylines could have become exciting and unpredictable. Most of the season was spent watching the characters mope and act tortured, however, the last couple of episodes did show some promise. Alas, we'll never know what might have been. 6.5 antennae

Judging Amy: Another show that didn't make the cut for next season. This show ended with Amy quitting the bench, losing her court supervised officer, and finding out one of the girls who had appeared in her courtroom had been killed. So what does she do? She goes to Washington to become a Senator. Tyne Daly's character was starting to show some promising change and she realized that she shouldn't let fear run her life and embrace the blossoming relationship with Ignacio, her landscaper. This show, like many other finales, lacked the punch and pizzazz to go out with a bang. 4 antennae

Cold Case: One of my absolute favorite shows, Cold Case's finale offered suspense, drama, and creepiness. It delved into the psychosis of many of the characters and offered a hostage situation with Lily. The villain was truly creepy and the last song played of the season, The Who's Behind Blue Eyes, was wonderful. 8 antennae

Amazing Race 7: In the penultimate episode, Rob and Amber were leading. They had been leading for most of the season. It took me a couple of episodes to get over the gay couple being eliminated. Uchenna & Joyce, overtook Rob and Amber to become the victors for this season. For a while it looked like it might be anitclimactic, but Boston Rob and his girl were put in their place. Besides they already won a million dollars, or at least she did. 7.5 antennae

Survivor: Pulau In the tenth installment of this series, first was the name of the game. Two people were off the island moments after the tribes had been chosen, the longest challenge ever, one castaway banished to an island by herself and one tribe whittled down to just one member before the merge. Not a lot of excitment most of the time, however, there were some great moments. One that sticks out was when redneck James is talking to the camera and beating himself up for getting beat during one of the challenges by Coby, the gay hairdresser. I was rooting for Jen to win but once Ian took himself out of the last challenge and Tom and Katie were left, there was no doubt who would win. And while the jury was questioning the final two, Katie hanged herself several times creating even less of a doubt that fireman Tom would win. 8.5 antennae

That's all for today. Tomorrow my review of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
