Dancing with the Stars continues...who will compete?

Friday was the return of Numb3rs and again I was on the edge of my seat as Don was chased through the mountains by dangerous diamond thieves.

They introduced the new character, Niki, and she fit in seamlessly - sorry to say this but I didn't miss Megan until I just thought about it right now.

Saturday was a Primeval with a bit of a murder mystery twist and Saturday Night Live has pulled me back in thanks to the Tina Fey/Sarah Palin combo.

On Sunday, I tried to watch the new show Easy Money on The CW but couldn't get past the first ten minutes. It wants to be The Sopranos but it's not even close. I ended up switching over to a DVD of Robot Chicken so that oughta tell you something.

No worries about tonight with Dancing and Sarah Connor, I'm good to go.
