- Weeds was solid again Monday as the apparent murder of Esteban's bodyguard Sucio caused Nancy to pack up Shane, Andy, and her sister Jill and flee from their home. An angry Esteban told her to find a safe spot and await his call for what to do next. The show ended with a look at DEA Agent Till looking suspiciously at the fleeing family from afar. I believe he was the guy behind the murder of Sucio as he will no doubt want to make Esteban pay for having his partner murdered last season. Doug continued to provide comic relief in the form of stealing candy from an old lady and arguing with Silas over how to best manage their new medical marijuana retail venture. Justin Kirk was hillarious in the hospital scenes with the way he reacted to all the workers being Mexican and how offended he was with Esteban not acknowledging his greeting. Celia got kicked out of wherever she was stranded and will enter Nancy's life again next week.
- Nurse Jackie keeps churning out entertaining episodes as it was entertaining to watch Zoe try and get her medical tool back from Doctor O' Hara. The dying old man patient was sad to watch. It was great to see Nancy stand up to her boss and making her let the old man wait out the day in the hospital with his wife. When will Jackie's affair come out? I guess we must keep watching to find out.
-Raw received its largest rating in 7 years as close to 7 million people tuned in for the commercial-free episode and start of the Donald Trump buys Raw storyline. The show underwhelmed me as I am sick of Orton and HHH matches. The LMS match delivered but the draw finish sucked and there is no chance in hell of me buying the pay per view Sunday to watch these two go at it again. Vince buying Raw back this week for double made him look like an idiot in storylines and made me wonder if this was all that was really planned for the Trump storyline. Cena and the Miz built up their first ppv match with a decent in-ring promo and Miz causing Cena to lose in the main event against Big Show. The company has something working with the Miz and they would be best not to screw up his momentum this Sunday at the Bash. Overall the show provided mediocre entertainment and I feel the pay per view this Sunday will draw a low buyrate. When does Shawn Michaels come back?
- I caught the first two seasons of The Big Bang Theory recently and thought the show was incredible. Jim Parsons as Sheldon is a genius comic creation that will provide entertainment for years to come. I love the will they or won't they the show has going with Penny and Leonard. Johnny Galecki plays a great straight man to the most anal human on Earth in his roommate Sheldon. Kaley Cuaco plays the sexy neighbor Penny who knows how to make friendships work with the nerd squad across the hall and adapt to new situations. My favorite moments are when Sheldon tagged along for a date to the movies and conducts sound tests in different seats around the theater. The reactions Leonard/his date and others in the theater have along with Sheldon's different sounds had me laughing out loud. I also loved when Penny gave Sheldon a signed napkin of an actor from Star Trek and he proceeds to give her all of the different bath baskets he was contemplating giving her. Raj and Howard Wallowitz are great supporting characters. Things I hope to see next season are Penny and Leonard in an actual relationship and Sheldon looking for a potential girlfriend. There is not a more obnoxious yet loveable character on television right now than Parsons' Sheldon and it will be a joy to watch this show for at least another two seasons.
- I will be venturing to Summerfest this Friday to see The Offspring and take in Milwaukee's big summer festival. I will be back with thoughts on the festival and anything else that interests me soon.
