After a few weeks on the air, the time has come to revisit a few shows. First on the docket: I Just Want My Pants Back, the MTV show about four hipter friends living in NY who lead wild and crazy lives hooking up, partying down and looking for the girl that got away…with the protagonist’s pants.

A call to ‘Daddy’ two episodes ago pays off as John Blackwell (Joe Lando) arrives in Chance Harbour and his name is on everyone’s tongue. So why does this episode feel like so much of the same?

Today’s lesson: you can always count on Batman. After a lackluster episode last week, NBC lights up its bat signal and 30 Rock flies in to save the day.

There’s nothing greater than the very beginning of a relationship, when you first start dating someone. There’s an innocence and anticipation that excites you and all you want to do is be alone with that person 24/7. Of course this period never lasts because you inevitably have to introduce your special someone to your friends. Now this can go two ways: 1) your friends love him and all is well or 2) your friends hate him and things go from sweet to sour. How did Max (Adam Pally) and Grant (James Wolk) fair up?

I will fully admit that there are days when I’m not overly interested in recapping a particular show, but – like any job – you suck it up and write it up. This has never been an issue with Revenge, the buzzy nighttime soap that has been the talk of every watercooler moment my boss and I have had since Lydia (Amber Valletta) took a plunge off the roof in episode 5 ‘Guilt.’ Now we’ve reached the engagement party from the pilot and it’s time to pull back the curtain to reveal the identity of the murder victim.

Justified goes Crank as we follow Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman) while he goes on a crime spree to collect $20 grand in four hours before nasty nurse Lance (Clayne Crawford) sells his kidneys to a Chicago businessman. Umm…okay

Last week I talked about how The River‘s premiere succeeded in mixing compelling drama with just the right amount of suspense and creativity. Can the same be said about this week’s episode?

After a lacklustre Winter premiere, Ringer picked up the pace last week: Henry (Kristoffer Polaha) discovered Bridget (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was posing as Siobhan (also SMG) and Bridget began to put the pieces together. Does this week’s episode continue to show improvement? In a word: yes.

This week’s episode of Smash pretty much opened the exact same way as the pilot (our heroine Karen (Katherine McPhee) singing in fantasy land only to be snapped back into reality) – but was the rest of the episode as predictable?
