05.30 Scrubs
06.00 Dexter
07.00 Breaking Bad
08.00 Flashpoint
09.00 The Office
Scrubs. Season 8, Episode 11. "My Nah Nah Nah" Is The Janitor about to be dumped? Is Turk giving false hope to a patient?
The relationship between Jordan and Dr. Cox is one of the more unusual on TV, and this episode highlights it when Cox starts wearing his wedding ring and his wife objects.
They're an odd couple, to say the least, and one of the strengths of Scrubs.
Dexter. Season 4, Episode 2. "Remains to Be Seen" Dexter (with mild amnesia from his car accident) tries to retrace his own steps and find the body he hid previously.
Awesome. One of the best-ever episodes of Dexter. It's got a great premise (a serial killer who forgets where he stashed the body) and it's fast-paced tale is packed full of one-liners. I don't remember Dexter (the show) ever being this funny before.
I also love the way they are finding lots to do for the (large) regular cast.
Breaking Bad. Episode 6. "Crazy Handful of Nothin'" Walt and Jesse decide to contact a distributor named Tuco and enter the big leagues.
Best episode so far. The ending to this one was beyond cool, as Walt went into the lair of the bad guy and proceeded to bring the whole place down around him (with a small explosion and the threat of more). Thrilling stuff.
Flashpoint. Episode 21. "Last Dance" A couple leaves a trail of chaos as they cross the city together.
Like no other show currently on the air, Flashpoint is able to push the buttons of the viewer and delivering tear-jerking stories on a weekly basis. The tale here is predictable, but none-the-less wonderful. The viewer can see early on that these two aren't criminals and (though the script tries to keep the mystery going) we can predict that the woman is dying and these are here last hours with her lover.
The ending, when it comes, is unbearable sad.
Sometimes I like to have my buttons pushed.
The Office. Season 6, Episode 4. "Niagara" Wedding.
Not only was it hilarious and joyful, but this double-length episode of The Office was fast-paced and full of key scenes for all the regular cast. Quite an achievement.
Highlight? The Office (hilarious and joyful)
