So much good stuff this week. Along with the always solid Desperate Housewives and The Office there is the surprise hit of the season (Eli Stone) and my second favorite comedy on TV right now (The Big Bang Theory).
Absolutely, Mort, and I would throw in Life, too, which was probably my favorite new series last season, along with Journeyman (I always pull for the underdogs).
If you haven’t watched the cop procedural, you might find it surprisingly funny, just a notch or two less antic than, say, Monk, another quirky detective show.
