So, what did you watch last night?

Last night I watched House, How I Met Your Mother and Castle. I kind of watched Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It was on in the background while I worked on my new web site (launch date hopefully next Monday, January 18, 2010). So, if you have any of those shows on your DVR but haven't watched them yet, you might want to go do something else and come back to read this after you've seen the show.

Coast clear? Good. How awesome is Neil Patrick Harris? His homage to suits in song and dance was the stuff of which legends are made. (I really had to stop myself from doing the whole "wait for it" thing. It's really only funny when Barney does it.) I do wish that the others sang more but hopefully their time will come. I have to ask. Does anyone really care about the mother anymore? I just want to watch these friends live their lives and interact. Although, I do have to say it was very flattering that the mother's roommate was named after me - Cindy.

On to House. I didn't really pay close attention to this episode. It wasn't riveting. The whole House/Wilson gay thing was amusing, especially when Wilson proposed to House in the restaurant. Wilson isn't as tightly wrapped as he first appears, is he? I didn't pay much attention to the whole prank on Foreman gag. I saw the end of that one coming from the beginning. Same thing with the sick guy. I knew he was a cop right off the bat. However, I did think that he and his partner in crime might have been partners in another sense, so I was surprised to find out the cop had a wife. I forget what disease he had but I do remember that it was incurable. Nice that they lose a patient once in a while. What? I can say that. It's just fiction!

What can I say about my Castle? More people should be watching this show. It's so full of little side things like the faces Castle makes when someone else is actually the focus of the scene. I never saw Firefly. (Shoot me now.) I did see Nathan Fillion on Desperate Housewives and was underwhelmed. I honestly couldn't see why there was so much fuss about this guy. His character was boring. However, as Castle? Superb! Sublime! Wait. Were there other people in last night's episode? Oh yeah. Alyssa Milano guest starred as a former flame of Castle's who was getting married and found one of her bridesmaids murdered. I loved her on Who's The Boss and Charmed. On Castle, she was eh. Seriously, any competent, attractive actress could have played that role. There was nothing special. I don't know if it can be blamed on Ms Milano or the writing or directing.

So, out of everything I watched last night, what was my favorite scene? Rick Castle duct taped to a chair and trying to escape.


I bet you are dying to see how I tie this into jewelry, aren't you? Well, after seeing Castle's wrists tied up with duct tape, I decided I'd much rather see this bracelet on his wrist.  I don't see him wearing a lot of jewelry or "bling," but I can picture him rocking this half persian bracelet.

So, what was YOUR favorite scene of all the shows you watched last night?  Please click on Comment and discuss.  (Yes, the comment link has been fixed - I hope!)

I watched Biggest Loser. It is not as good this season. There isn't any one person that I like all that much. Nobody stands out. I can't say there was any favorite scene, but I am still inspired by their dedication to get healthy.

Someone deleted Biggest Loser from my DVR and I didn't realize it until it was almost over. I did see the weigh-in, however. It's kind of early for me to have a favorite, I think. Last season, though, I was liking Abbie, Shay and Daniel. I truly hated the humiliation of having this new batch weigh in at home, in public. That was low.
