Saving Grace – Hanadarko’s family from a guy seeking revenge
(Season 3, Episode 3)
Saving Grace does family very well, from the family dynamic that has developed in the squad room to the extended family that Grace was born into. It’s the latter that took focus this week, as a criminal from Grace’s past targets members of her family. Church bombings to sniper fire, Grace’s family escapes for the most part unharmed, but one of Father Hanadarko’s (the brother the priest, and not, you know, Grace’s dad) congregation is killed in the blast meant for him.

Glee in particular looks outstanding, and I’m also looking forward to Flash Forward and, yes Aryeh, even NCIS: LA. All in all though, I’m not left with that feeling of excitement that I have in years past. I think, I know the reason:
When did the summer schedule get so good? Its not even the networks, either. Cable has come to play in the last couple of years, and it seems that they want to own the summer. Its a mix of new shows and returning favorites, but I think its funny that I’m looking more forward to the summer than the fall. Lets just take a look at some of the shows returning:
