(S02E04) "Oh Golly" - Sylar, grade A meanie.I really want to thank all you guys who sent in such positive feedback on the new format for
Heroes reviewcaps.
JJ is going to follow a similar structure,
as he displayed last week, so we can have some consistency from week to week, episode to episode.
The above quote was one of the single most hilarious moments ever on
Heroes, which is usually suffering from too much drama... or more accurately melodrama.
This week saw the introduction of Micah's extended family, the return of a clean-shaved Nathan Petrelli and the answer to who is Molly's monster, so lets get it started.

When you think about it, it makes sense that we haven't seen a DVD of
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia until now; after all, the first season was only seven episodes, and the show was on the brink of extinction until Danny DeVito joined the cast in season two. So, it was wise of FX to group the first two seasons into one package, which comes out tomorrow (you can get your own copy -- for nothing! -- if you enter
the giveaway Keith mentioned earlier today).
Is it worth picking up? Sure; if you're a fan of the show, there's more than enough here to make a purchase worth your while. If you never saw the show but were curious, it's a good way to "catch up" (though this isn't exactly a show where you need to do that, but still...).

As the ranking #2 fan of
The Muppets here at TV Squad (
Adam definitely has me beat), I'm happy to announce that season two of
The Muppet Show will be available on DVD
on August 7th. It's been about 2 years since season one came out on DVD and fans have been not-so-patiently waiting for more.
Season two is a 24-episode set with classic guest appearances by Bob Hope, George Burns, John Cleese, Milton Berle, Elton John, Bernadette Peters and Julie Andrews, just to name a few. The bonus material includes
The Muppets Valentine Day Special, a pilot which aired two years before
The Muppet Show came on air. It features Kermit and Mia Farrow, and is hosted by little-known Muppet 'Wally'.

Season 2 of
The Office went on sale at Best Buy yesterday (
the website is already sold out). The DVD set is called
The Office: Severance Package and it includes some Dunder-Mifflin schwag, including Post-It notes, notepad, pen and magnet, and a calendar. There's also a phone number to Dwight Schrute's voicemail. The message on the voicemail, unfortunately, is not Dwight, but his fictional assistant (which makes the guy the Assistant to the Assistant to the Regional Manager). He explains that Dwight is at a LOTR convention and talks some lingo and then pitches the "oh-so-scorching" and "crazy" deals on paper. It's only marginally entertaining, but here's the number anyway: 1-800-984-DMPC (3672).
Supposedly the Season 2 DVD is great- with bloopers and all sorts of behind-the-scenes extras. I'm kicking myself for not remembering to pick one up yesterday.

(S02E02) So now the escapees are splitting up even more, which is actually a good thing for us viewers, since there's a lot more potential for better stories along the way. And once again, the writers get cutely creative when it comes to naming their episodes.
I forgot to mention last week that I'm glad someone finally mentioned how idiotic it is that C-Note is looking to see his family and Sucre wants to see his girlfriend. That bugged me all last season, and I'm glad Abruzzi was the one to point it out to everyone.

(S02E22) I think the best thing about this season is Felicia Tilman. There are a lot of crazy bitches on Wisteria Lane, but who's the craziest? Let's run through them, just from tonight's episode, and see who takes the cake.
Gabrielle -- Is she in the right by reclaiming her palace of a bedroom at the cost of her baby's mother's comfort? She did have a point about her husband already putting their child ahead of the marriage, but sometimes her methods could use some work. Actually, make that all the time.

(S02E22) Aren't great finales so bittersweet? I'd been excited to see this episode all day, though at the same time I was sad that the season would be over, and we'd have to A) wait until next Thursday to find out if this show is indeed making it to the CW network, and B) wait for the new season to start.
Though I thoroughly enjoyed this season, I have to admit that most of the reveal of this episode was a tad disappointing. Why? Because a bunch of us guessed this would happen long ago. Well, not all of it, but the "big bad" of the season.

(S02E21) Can you feel it? That tension in the air like we felt last season, right before the final episode? Everything's coming together, and still we doubt our assumptions. Do we really know who's behind the bus crash? Were we really right in our guesses about Woody and his pervy ways?
While I'm clearly excited to know how everything goes down next week, this is also when I'm sad to realize that everything's about to end, and we'll have another summer to wait through to see what happens next.

(S02E20) Earlier today I
put out the call for
new viewers to this show that this was their last chance to catch a plot-ruining-free episode this season. For the most
part I was right, though I'm not sure this was the best episode for a newcomer to see. There were a lot of inside jokes
that might have gotten lost on someone not familiar with past episodes. With that said though, we were thrown so many
new pieces of the big puzzle this week to make even fans' heads spin.

(S02E20) This episode
was kind of different. I don't think they've had a case before where Don had a personal/romantic connection to
those involved. I'll say this though. I didn't like how they kept pushing the idea that working in any kind of law
enforcement (police, FBI, ATF, etc.) is so stressful that suicide is an option for many. I realize a job like that can
have it's pressures, but I was surprised that this show took that angle. The unfortunate thing is that there's probably
some truth to it so I suppose I'm just eating my own words right there.
Beyond that gripe, this was a very
good episode as usual. There really is no reason why this show couldn't pull it's weight on a night other than Friday.
It's better than The Unit and would make a nice pairing with NCIS. But I digress. A former love
interest of Don's (she was an ATF agent) commits suicide. But after some crazy mathematical analysis from Charlie, it
seems like it may have been a murder.

(S02E19) The writers for this show really know how to
throw us through enough twists and turns to keep us guessing until the very end. I'm not sure there were nearly this
many goings on last season, though as many commenters have pointed out, the likely scenario is that someone we least
expect or know about is behind much of what's been going down.
So let's quickly go through what we know from
this episode...

(S02E18) Most times when you wake up from a dream and remember most of what happened, there's a lot of
symbolism going on. You know, dreams of being late for an exam means you feel unprepared, dreams of falling means you're
insecure about something, and talking in front of class naked ... well that
really
happened. Long story.
This episode was filled with all sorts of dream hints and clues from Veronica's
point of view, though their interpretation shouldn't be anything more than what Veronica herself has figured out on her
own; these aren't ghosts she's talking to.

After seeing tonights episode, I really think Darius and I are onto something with our
theories about who's responsible for
the bus crash. However, now I'm wondering if the writers are throwing us a red herring with Beaver's curious reaction
(or lack of reaction) toward Mac. Is Beaver the one who's gay and not Dick, as Darius theorized? Beaver's real estate
dealings play a role in the Mayor's incorporation issues, so I could see him doing it just to make the Mayor's life
miserable. Maybe both Dick and Beaver are working together on something for once?

Maybe I was expecting way too much this week, with
Veronica Mars being on a break for a while, but I found tonight's episode a bit dull.
I'd read somewhere that this episode was going to mark a huge turning point in the season, though I'm not all that sure
what it was. Was it Hannah's discovery that her dad really is into things with the Fitzpatricks? Or maybe Terrence's
surprise locker in is garage?
Also, while it was great to see Mac again (they really need to put her in more
episodes), Wallace and Weevil were sadly missing.
