Title: “Chapter 16: Unexpected”
Original Airdate: February 19, 2007
GMMR Recapper: Jo

Somewhere in the Nevada desert, Radioactive Ted gets an IM from “Wireless”. Except there’s no wifi for miles. Wireless, really named Hana, stands behind him and she knows what happened to them by HRG and Primatech. She wants to team up with Ted to find the people responsible for tagging them like animals and nuke them. Ted visits his wife’s grave to say goodbye and kills all the grass.

Claire’s mom doesn’t recognize or her little dog too. Claire flips and grabs her brother, but suddenly her mom knows her again. Meanwhile, Mr. Bennett is in New York at Isaac’s studio. Isaac thinks Peter is the bomb and wants HRG’s help in stopping him. I miss scruffy (but not junkie) Isaac. HRG gives him a gun for when Peter shows up. Later, Isaac lies to Simone, hoping that she’ll spill the beans on Peter’s whereabouts, but she sees right through him.

Simone confronts Nathan about Peter’s location, but Nathan doesn’t seem to mind him being missing. Nathan gives a shout out to Lost, telling Simone that if people find out about the heroes then they’ll “round us up and stick us in a lab on an island.”

How I Met Your Mother Recap: Stuff

Title: “Stuff”
Original Airdate: February 19, 2007
GMMR Recapper: Jim Mosby

As we get older we tend to accumulate more and more stuff. Some of it we buy, some of it our family buys for us out of need, some things are gifts, some things are gifts from…our ex’s. The age old question is: Do we get rid of the things that our ex’s gave us, or do you keep it? As well, do you expect your current significant other to get rid of their stuff? Hmm. Come to think of it, we acquire more and more ex’s as well. How do you handle that?

This week’s episode took a look at that very issue, as well as another crucial issue, how do you handle your friends’ hobbies, well, when the suck. This was a great episode, and, the continuity of it all had me on the floor laughing.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent – Brother’s Keeper
Tragic news in the world of television today as it has been announced that Rosanne Barr, star of stage and screen, has been found murdered by her husband, Tom Arnold…wait, what do you mean Tom Arnold is only playing an evangelist under suspicion of murder on this week’s Law & Order? Oh, well okay then.

American Idol
Still haven’t had your fill of Simon Cowell crushing the hopes and dreams of emotionally fragile yet talent-challenged contestant with his patented mix of British snobbery and American bluntness? Then, tune in tonight for more of the same! Watch the top 12 male performers strut their stuff and then get torn new ones tonight on FOX. Cowell will make someone cry or your money back!

Prison Break Recap: Bad Blood

Title: “Bad Blood”
Original Airdate: Feb. 19, 2007
GMMR Recapper: Michelle

This episode actually made me cry for T-Bag. Yep, T-Bag. And it made me feel incredibly bad for C-Note, who usually just bores me. This episode was that good.

When we last left Michael and Sara, they were making their way inside the cigar club to take a look inside her Dad’s humidor (you remember – Michael expressed himself so eloquently to her with his, “Me, too” comment on the way in). They try to reach the box, but a manager catches on and tries to get Sara to come with him. Michael and Sara wise up and escape out the back (Near Miss #1 of…oh, I’m not even going to count).

24 Recap: 3:00 – 4:00pm

Title: 3:00 – 4:00pm
Original Airdate: 2/19/07
GMMR Recapper: LaLa

So, who do you call when your evil dad has just escaped and you have no one else to turn to in your search for crazy Russian nationalist/terrorist Gredenko? Why, none other than a heavily bearded ex-president-but-always-evil Charles Logan!! Yes my friends, when you have a villain as good as Logan, you just have to bring him back somehow – even if he has already been apprehended on the show. Reminds me of when they kept bringing back Season 1 villain Nina Meyers in order to “assist” Jack and CTU by giving them the secret bad guy information that all bad guys have because, of course, they’re bad guys – and don’t you know that bad guys always know everything about every other bad guy out there? Well, clearly Bearded Logan now falls into this category – and I’m glad too, because not only is the terrific Gregory Itzen back on the show, but hopefully Jean Smart aka Martha (and maybe her new, dare I say it, boyfriend Agent Pierce!) will soon come back as well. Can’t wait! Read more

Gage Whitney Shout Out

Just a throw back or something more? I’m watching Studio 60 and there is an attorney working on a law suit, and she just happens to be from the law offices of Gage Whitney. If I recall, Sam Seaborn was with Gage Whitney before joining the Bartlett campaign. Just a nod to us West Wing fans or does it have another meaning for Sorkin? I’m thinking Aaron Sorkin just wanted to remind us that he was the same guy that wrote The West Wing…you know, so we won’t judge him on Studio 60. Of course I’m a fan of the show (well except for last week’s episode).

Battlestar Galactica Recap: A Day in the Life

Title: “A Day in the Life”
Original Airdate: Feb. 19, 2007
GMMR Recapper: MichellePreviously, Bill and Lee had some deep seeded, unresolved father-son issues. Laura and Bill got high and dreamy-eyed on New Caprica. Chief and Cally weren’t adjusting to married life on Galactica very well. Roslin decided to give Baltar a fair trial.

Bill dreams about his old life on Caprica and his wife. It’s their wedding anniversary and even though their marriage ended in divorce, he still feels connected to her. Tigh joins him early in the morning and offers to relieve him of his duty, but Bill just wants to be any other day. FigmentWife is cranky with him for not moving on. There’s some continuity issues with the picture frame he’s holding, but I’ll let it slide because this entire episode is emotionally heartwrenching and warming all at once.

CBS? WTF!!!

I’m a little fired up right now.  I’d like to know the brainiac at CBS that decided it was ok to show The Amazing Race All Stars edition a good 30 minutes after it was supposed to start?!  Um, I’m not sure if you realize it or not, but there’s this invention called the DVR, and a bunch of TV watchers use it.  So when a show is schedule to start at 8pm and it doesn’t start until 8:27pm, then your viewers using the aforementioned recording device miss half the GD episode.  You know, this happened ALL the time during football season.  Most nights I didn’t get to see the ending of The Amazing Race because it started too late, but this is getting ridiculous.

If this happened to you and you are pissed, please leave a comment below.  I’m writing my CBS reps today to see if I can get an answer to this one.

The Amazing Race: All Stars TONIGHT

Better late than never, right? I’m sorry but I completely forgot to mention that The Amazing Race All Star Edition starts tonight at 8pm on CBS.  If you’ve never watched The Amazing Race, it’s a great time to start.  There’s a reason is consistently wins the Emmy for the Best Reality Show every year.  Tonight begins the race around the world among the best of the best. I’ll be the lone voice cheering for Rob and Amber…sorry, but I like the hometown boy.

On Sunday, February 18, 8pm et/pt THE AMAZING RACE: ALL-STARS reunites some of the most memorable, entertaining and controversial teams from previous seasons and sets them on a new adventure of a lifetime. Traveling more than 45,000 miles, spanning 5 continents in 28 days, these Teams will pair up for one final trek around the globe as they battle the best of the best in a fierce race to the finish for their second attempt at the million dollar prize.

For full bios on each of the team teams, head over to CBS.com

Bridget Moynahan Pregnant with Tom Brady’s Baby?

Thank GOD Bridget Moynahan starred on ABC’s Six Degrees (slated to be back on the air soon) or else I might be hard pressed to find a way to talk about this scandal on GMMR. Ok according to PerezHilton.com, Bridget is 3 months pregnant!! Let’s rewind three months ago and see who she was dating…DNIWER…oh look at that, Bridget was supposedly still with Patriots QB Tom Brady. Yes the same Tom Brady who is now kissy kiss with supermodel Giesle Bundchen. D’oh. No word on whether or not Tom is the Baby Daddy or if the two had maybe been broken up a few months before news of their split became public. Looks like word has come out that Brady is indeed thought to be the father of the baby. While Britney and her shaved head is all the talk about La La Land, THIS is going to be the story that will be buzzing here in Boston. Oh and as for Bridget, she’s doing well. Her publicist says she’s “healthy and excited” which of course is good news.
