Rules Of Engagement. Season 3, Episode 6. "Poaching Timmy" Adam wants to go camping, Jeff wants to help the Giants win, and Audrey wants a new assistant.

Wow. Priceless. The funniest episode so far this season and, possibly, the funniest episode the show has done. Every storyline is funny, none of them is silly and two of them collide at the very end in true-Seinfeld style. Yummy.

This is Audrey's best season as a character, and Megyn Price is showing her star material. She totally, totally carries this episode (with great help from new regular Adhir Kalyan) and the story of Audrey's attempt to steal Russell's assistant is cleverly written/played as an affair between the two characters.

I used to love this show because I love Patrick Warburton. Now I love the show because it's totally hit it's stride and all the ideas are killer.

Castle. Episode 6. "Always Buy Retail" Voodoo/Vudon episode.

Disappointing. This is a generic voodoo episode that could be from any cop show. There are no cool Castle moments and no romantic Castle/Beckett moments.

Even worse, the episode is mostly about Castle's relationship with his ex-wife!!

I do not give a frak about Castle's ex-wife (and I don't want him to be sleeping with her, either) I want to see him flirting with Beckett, wooing her and eventually getting her. That's what I want.

So this, to me, is/was a waste of time.

Highlight? Rules Of Engagement (clever and funny)
