05.00 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
05.30 NCIS
11.30 Arrested Development
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Season 4, Episode 7. "Who Pooped the Bed?"
There are some good ideas in here, but - for me - it somehow doesn't gel. Part of the problem - for me - is the way much of the latter part of the episode is handed over to Artemis Pebdani. When I tune in I don't want to watch a guest star, I want to see the regulars.
NCIS. Season 5, Episode 18. "Judgment Day" Death of a regular.
A superb two-hour movie in which the show kills off a regular character (although not one I will miss very much, unlike the last time they did this).
It's a great episode. Upbeat and funny for the first hour, it becomes sad and serious without missing a beat or becoming jarring. Quite a trick.
The action stuff is great and the characters are really like real people in this one, losing one of their own.
Arrested Development. Season 3, Episode 8. "Making a Stand" George Sr. sets Michael and Gob competing/fighting until they pull a con on him. Or do they?
The main part of this one is an elaborate con that the brother pull on their father (very much in the vein of what you would see on Mission: Impossible.), except that he knows.
It's a funny episode. Once again, driven by the characters themselves and the way they interaction with one another. Nothing more is needed on Arrested Development.
Highlight? NCIS (death of a regular)
