Bizarre story of the abuse of a Navy Petty Officer being investigated for espionage. Basically, the guy was held for almost 2 years without charge because he did not pass a polygraph test, and subjected to abuse by NCIS interrogators, including a psychologist.

I'm sitting in my barcalounger eating Cheese Doodles and watching the "NCIS" marathon on the USA channel. It's Sunday, and I'm taking the day off. I don't want to be distracted by having to make decisions or pay bills on the weekend.
CBS and the CW gear up for fallSource: The San Francisco Chronicle
Shows still "on the bubble" and yet to be renewed: "Eleventh Hour," "Gary Unmarried," "The Unit," "Cold Case," "Without a Trace," "Numb3rs," and "Rules of Engagement" at CBS. "Everybody Hates Chris," "The Game," "Reaper" and "Privileged" at the CW.

If there is one thing that I love, it is good television. Not just good writing but great actors with characters that you can absolutely sink your teeth into. They offer you emotional depth, mystery about their past and the "Will they or won't they?" of future episodes.

The spin-off will use NCIS as a platform to introduce a new Naval investigative unit or personnel, something procedural, and it's still just on the drawing board and coming together.

I remember a time when the fall premieres last a week, maybe two. Nowadays, the premieres go on for a couple months. If you are like me it's very hard to keep track of when your favorite shows return, let alone when the new shows start airing.

CBS returns to crime, comedy rootsSource: Hollywood Reporter
Crime and comedy are coming back in full force to CBS' schedule next season as the network re-embraces the genres that have performed best for it in recent years.

Just last month our favorite shows returned from the hiatus forced by the writer's strike and now it's already time for the shortened seasons to come to an end. But which series season finales promise the most bang for our buck?

Last night marked the return of post-strike NCIS with the first new episode in almost three months. While the characters themselves might seem a little off their mark, it's the drama behind the scenes that has everyone wondering what is going on.

Normally April brings warm showers and the first signs of spring. But it's bitterly cold and dreary here. But nonetheless, I'm singing like a bird.

CBS is the first network out of the gate with its post-strike lineup, one that will bring nearly all of its scripted series -- from "CSI" to "How I Met Your Mother" -- back to the airwaves.

Season finales are all about climax, closure and cliffhangers. However, this season I feel like several shows have been building towards the season finale all year long. Others, in a more traditional fashion, will leave us hanging until the fall.
