His week in review

Welcome back TV! And welcome to the program our He vs. She on TV blog. It's been quite a week, and my DVR has gotten quite a workout. Here are some of my highlights:

Quickest prison exit: This one goes out to my boy Steve McGarrett, with an honorable mention to the writers of Hawaii Five-0. As you all remember, season one ended on a major cliffhanger with McGarrett heading to prison, framed by Wo Fat for the governor's murder. Season two kicked off with the writers saying "Crap, McGarrett's in prison and no one else can carry this show for more than one episode on their own...he needs to get out now!". Congrats Steve.

Worst nickname sequence: The New Girl's Schmidt and his buddy Benjamin at the bar. Did Schmidt really call him "It's all about the Benjamin"? Yes, yes he did. Was this only after Ben yelled across the bar "Holy Schmidt! It's Schmidt"? Yes, yes it was. Is FOX planning on releasing the final total of dollar bills in the "Douche-bag Jar" at the end of the season? If so, we're taking bets.

Most obvious lie: Of course she remembered everything Castle! You saved her, you cried and you told her you loved her. Women don't forget things like that. Ever. Especially not Kate Beckett. Not only does she remember it, she has replayed it 7,000 times over in her head. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll find a way to mess things up. Otherwise we all wouldn't have something to complain about every week. Get it together, bro.

Most obvious scene: Kate's lie had to be called out on its own, however the most obvious scene goes to the car bombing incident 2 minutes in to Charlie's Angels. We hadn't met Minka Kelly's character yet. There can only be 3 angels. Whenever they show anyone turning on a car in a TV show or movie, it is going to blow up. It's a rule. You know it. I know it. The writers know it.

Best night: A lot of intriguing new shows and a lot of premieres of some favorites this week. Tough to choose which night was best, but I'm going to have to go with Monday. For me it really kicked off the Fall season and two of my top shows (Five-0 and Castle) did not fail to entertain.

Hope you all enjoyed the week. Looking forward to another week with even more premieres. TV is back, and in a big way.
