Despite the best efforts of the Massachusetts Turnpike, Derek made it back from his Thanksgiving adventures to participate in the podcast with me and Deeps.

And I overshare about my unwillingness to move from the couch on Black Friday. This week we cover: HIMYM, Pushing Daisies, The Mentalist, Bones, House, Fringe, Chuck, The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, and True Blood.

I didn’t have a problem with Robin sleeping with the guy.  We’ve all done things we’re not proud of.  It’s more about the father telling his kids about doing the naked man.  That was my issue.

I know The Mentalist isn’t good but I enjoy Simon Baker.  The camera likes him and if he wasn’t on it, it would have really sucked. 

Chuck wasn’t that good and I agree with Fringe.  I watch it but I have no idea why.

House was crappy again and Bones didn’t wow me either. 

I can’t believe you don’t cover Californication.  It seems like a series just right for you.

Overall, I would have to give this years sweeps a C-.

I agree with your grade for sweeps—C- it is.

Okay - well, I got that you were skeeved out by Ted telling his kids about The Naked Man (maybe if his kids were older, that would be more okay). But I sensed you were also skeeved by more, so I was wrong.

What else is new?

It’s funny watching Simon Baker on HD because he looks pretty okay but whenever I see photos of him he looks really flushed and sweaty and kind of puffy. Like he’s just come off a three day bender.

But seriously - he’s wearing the rumpled 3-piece suit as an homage, right?

Bones sucked this week, despite the magnificence of Gina Torres.

He always has the 3-piece.  It works for him but you’re right, it always looks a little dirty.

Gina Torres was totally under used which is a shame. 

Bones has been rather weak this season.  It feels like they had four seasons of material and this season they are just dicking around.  Nothing has really happened and there is no over reaching storyline.
