Jennifer Love Hewitt has company generating buzz on Ghost Whisperer from Camryn Manheim.
Before the Ghost Whisperer whispers, some thoughts on last night:
I love my Knight Rider, but last night — not so much. It was the first of a big two-part ‘everything changes’ episode that has Michael acting out the movie Speed. Keep KITT moving at 100 miles an hour or the bomb in the trunk goes boom! Carrie already went boom when the warehouse that was the base of the totally unvillainous villain blew up and I’m happy to see her go. Someone else will die before it’s all said and done and I’m not too worried since I know all of my favorite characters (Billy) are safe!
The rest of my night was spent with Jensen Ackles overload — from a Supernatural rerun where he gets horizontal in the back of the Impala with a grounded angel to news from the My Bloody Valentine movie premiere. Photos show Jensen hanging with Jessica Alba, Jamie King and Danneel Harris. Lucky guy, huh? Or is that lucky them?
Tonight we get the finale episode of one of my favorite TV shows, Stargate Atlantis but I expect my pain to be eased by a tremendous Numb3rs. Not even going to attempt to sit back in my chair on that one, I’ll just start out on the edge of my seat.
