06:00 Seinfeld
06:30 Back To You
07:00 NCIS
Seinfeld. Season 9, Episode 8. Julia Louis-Dreyfus does some of her best work in this episode. The highlights are the scenes where Elaine is drunk, and she makes the character both playful and adorable. She's also on top form every time Elaine gets annoyed with George and Jerry. And her best scene of all comes when Elaine keeps saying the name Nina over and over when being asked difficult questions. "Nina!!!!"
Back To You. Episode 9. Mostly unfunny. And a big disappointment after the previous episode. This time out laughs are few and far between, with Marsh - in particular - having a dreadful plot(?) to shoulder. Some nonsense about searching for a new sigh-off. A total Laugh Free Zone. Sigh.
NCIS. Season 4, Episode 15. Another complete change of pace episode, as Tony's love-life (and, indeed, love in general) takes center-stage. Several scenes are devoted to the problems of Tony and his girl-friend, while a lot of the case-of-the-week scenes are dominated by a friendship between Tony and a cop on the case. They talk about the nature of romance and getting over the one-that-got-away. It's wonderful stuff. The episode packs two superb twists into the final minutes. One of which I saw coming. One I didn't.
Highlight? NCIS
Seinfeld, Back To You, NCIS
