['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Start Me Up'] Without an over-the-top story line, 'Grey's Anatomy' decided to try invigorating things by having the residents scramble to get to the top of the list for the next chief resident. To add some laughs and extra faces to a still inflated cast, they had first-year students visit for a day to shadow the stars. Sadly, this only emphasized everyone's flaws (Alex ...

['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Disarm'] 'Grey's Anatomy' has gotten good at dealing with large traumatic situations, this time borrowing from the headlines and using college shootings as a tie-in to a hospital shooting. After seven seasons, they've gotten the over-the-top plot lines to push their characters to their personal thresholds and make them stronger. This episode cleared out a lot of plot issues ...

['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Adrift and at Peace'] In an episode that just happened to have Christmas music playing in the background, Derek took Cristina fishing, Meredith and Owen argued, Bailey was still on a search for a solution to fistulas, Callie gained a backbone, and Teddy was given a re-hashed storyline. This episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' really had nothing to do with Christmas, except for ...

['Dancing with the Stars' - 'Finale, Night One'] So, the perhaps unlikely trio of Bristol Palin, Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey has made it to the finale of 'Dancing with the Stars'. Night One consisted of a redemption dance of the judges' choosing, and the crowd favorite, Freestyle. Every season, I hope to see something as insane as Marie Osmond's doll routine, but tonight didn't bring anything ...

['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Slow Night, So Long'] It's all about the night shift this week on 'Grey's Anatomy;' all the attendings are off celebrating Derek's new grant and all the residents had to deal with the drama back at Seattle Grace. It's good to know that apparently other attendings exist in this hospital outside of the main cast. Cristina has moved from randomly throwing a house-warming ...

['Dancing with the Stars' - 'The Semi-Finals'] 'Dancing With the Stars' finally reached the semi-finals with four characters that represented four different traits. Brandy had the best musicality, Jennifer the best acting, Kyle was the best entertainer, and Bristol had the best luck. The final two dances for each of the couples were split into two rounds. In the Latin round, the dancers had to ...

['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Something's Gotta Give'] 'Grey's Anatomy' has proved that the main cast was too inflated. With Jessica Capshaw on maternity leave, the characters have been shuffled around more, and it gave Callie the opportunity to have scenes without Arizona by her side. Having the main characters actually interact outside of their main circles was a breath of fresh air. Derek with ...

['Dancing With the Stars' - 'Instant Dance Challenge'] This week on 'Dancing With the Stars' the couples had to pretend they were professionals and were given the music to their second dance 20 minutes before their routines. There could have been several techniques used in teaching the stars, but most of the celebrities just taught a routine by counts instead of music. The test worked out well ...

['Grey's Anatomy' - 'That's Me Trying'] 'Grey's Anatomy' introduced a shocking premise last night: Cristina quit. Cristina is one of the biggest reasons to watch the show and if she peaced out of Seattle Grace Hospital, I wouldn't be surprised if fans of the show left as well. So hopefully it won't stick and Meredith and Alex don't wind up as the only original interns left. The chief ...

['Dancing with the Stars' - 200th Episode Special] The theme of the 'Dancing With the Stars' 200th episode was really "Reuse Music Night." There was no way the contestants could recreate magic that two past contestants had, so they needed to be as original as possible. The team cha-cha challenge had former winners as coaches this week, but they didn't help much. (Though they did make for an ...
