['White Collar' - 'Point Blank'] "Get in the mind of the file. Live the life of the file. Hear the pulse of the file!" - Mozz, aging an FBI file quickly Remember in last week's episode, when Neal and Peter decided that they weren't going to lie to each other anymore? Instead, they were going to join forces and investigate the secrets of the music box? Yeah, well, forget all that. This ...

['White Collar' - Company Man'] "No more secrets, Pete." - Neal "No more secrets." - Peter 'White Collar,' like a lot of cable shows, splits their seasons into two parts. Next week is the summer finale of the show. Did you know that? I review the show every week and even I didn't realize that was the case. So I was expecting tonight's episode to be very Kate-centric, with a big lead-up to a ...

I have a theory I'd like to share with you: everybody in the world has ADD. Discuss. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the growing theory that AMC's 'Rubicon' is "boring." Boring? Really? I'm going to assume that because 'Rubicon' is a quiet thriller -- the kind that is all about quiet moments and tension and moodiness and striking cinematography -- an intelligent, ...

(Season 1, Episode 13 - 'Shadows in the Cave') Shortly before 'Persons Unknown' ended, I tweeted this: "Oh, for God's sake." #PersonsUnknown NBC, I think, lied to us a little bit, didn't they? They promised us that "at the end of the summer, all of our questions will be answered," or something like that. But this wasn't a series-ender, it was a season-ender! Nothing really got resolved. ...

(Season 1, Episode 12) "Then what is the point of staying calm?" - Janet, after Joe told her to stay calm, they were coming to get them OK, there were a few things in this next-to-last episode that I just didn't buy, and I'm not talking about Ulrich's head exploding. Many plot developments just didn't ring true and seemed a bit rushed. Ulrich saying he was going to go ahead with the ...

(Season 2, Episode 7) "Because I'm usually here on Wednesdays." - Mozz, on why he calls one of his safe houses "Tuesday" I think I'm going to pretend to work some place this week. There's an old saying that you can get in anywhere if you look like you belong there. Every week Neal Caffrey does that. Tonight he pretended to be a salesman at a high-end sports car dealership. I don't have such ...

(Season 1, Episode 11) "The second town in as many weeks but I've exhausted all of my options. The pollution has become too thick to clear." - Madame Director If you haven't heard, NBC isn't showing the next episode of 'Persons Unknown' on television. Instead, this Saturday we'll see the two-hour finale (actually two episodes back-to-back). What NBC has done is put this episode online only, so ...

(Season 1, Episode 10) "There's no success or failure. Only results." - Joe Before we get to this week's review, let me tell you about the next episode of 'Persons Unknown.' There isn't going to be one. Well, let me clarify, there isn't going to be one on television. NBC is doing something interesting -- and by "interesting," I mean stupid -- with the next episode ('Seven Sacrifices') of ...

Melissa Joan Hart appeared on 'Live with Regis & Kelly' (weekday mornings, check local listings) and talked about her new show 'Melissa & Joey,' how she met her husband, and about why people called him "8-hole Wilkerson." It's not an insult, it actually has to do with the piercings her husband used to have on his face. Regis seems a bit freaked out that he had that many. Hey, they're ...
