Tips for TV Viewing

NCIS: Los Angeles, 9 p.m., CBS

I was up at the folks’ last week, watching TV with my dear ol’ dad at 10,000 decibels. He loves this show. Or he watches it. One is definitely true. So I watched with him (figured I might as well since I could hear the dialogue two rooms away). It is terrible. There was a gunfight in a hospital parking lot in which approximately a million shots were fired and only one guy was hit. It was like a Schwarzenegger movie. And don’t get me started about the “meet” in which the SWAT team was there. Like the bad guys would not have noticed that.

The Good Wife, 10 p.m., CBS

The vote is tonight and the previews make it look like Will has been playing both sides against the middle and will ultimately turn on Diane. Really? I hope not. That would make me sad.

American Idol, 8 p.m., Fox

Oh dear. The Top 12 boys perform. They are: Clint Ju Gamboa, AKA Junebug, the karoake master who slayed Jaycee on group night; Paul McDonald, who I never saw until The Beatles night, who has sort of a Kenny Loggins quirky vibe and an interesting voice. He won’t last; Robbie Rosen, 16, he might go far; Tim Halperin, no idea; Scotty McCreery, 16 with the deep country voice. Buh-bye; Jovany Barreto, can’t stand this guy – he is everything I dislike about modern Top 40 music; Jordan Dorsey, the really nice piano teacher with the really nice voice and the really nice vibe; Stefano Langone, he is just like Jovany; Jacob Lusk, oversinger extraordinaire – ugh; James Durbin, Lambert 2.0 with great back story (autism, Tourette’s, poor); Casey Abrams, my new favorite and the one I shall make my first bold prediction with: he will win; Brett Loewenstern: 16. I would not have kept him. I would’ve taken that Colton kid instead. But they wanted to keep the Glee vibe going.
