NCIS, Modern Family, Stossel, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, SNL, Iron Chef America Super Chef Battle, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, House, Human Target, 30 Rock, Community, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Bill Moyers Journal, Burn Notice, The Mentalist, Archer, Smallville, Leverage, The Middle, Strikeforce Miami

Best of the week -

Iron Chef America Super Chef Battle! Featuring the White House Executive Chef and veg from the White House garden. Which was cool, since, you know, I've been there. Plus, living in Japan, it's rare that Iron Chef America shows up on those special places on the Internets where I can watch. Missed the show. You know, given my personal menu is composed only of things I can generally make with one fry pan within 10 minutes, why I love this show is beyond me. But it is awesome.

Strikeforce Miami - Nick Niaz is a phenom, Herschel Walker is an inspiration.

Bill Moyers Journal featured Nick Gillespie of Reason.com and Reason.TV Lawrence Lessig on the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. I love Lessig's work with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and on copyright, but am more in line with Gillespie's position. But a great, reasoned discussion - something missing all too often from the political sphere.

Finally, the 2hr Smallville Absolute Justice telefilm. I could pick little things apart like a true nerd, but overall, it was geektastic. Too bad the show can't always be that good, instead of devolving into bad soap opera and ennui. They laid some nice Checkmate foundation though. That might be interesting.
