Country meets beach, New Jersey meets New York, and Washington D.C. meets nighttime in this workweek-ending round of opening credits.
USA finally pulls the trigger on its long-running spy drama with a slightly shortened order for a new season.
Plus: Fox earns some Greek cred, Saturday Night Live books some Oscar nominees, and Sarah Shahi heats things up with some firefighters.
Royal Pains actually gets a two-season pickup, while the others get 16 more episodes apiece.
Plus: CBS shifts its Sunday schedule to accommodate football, A&E gets involved in the Occult, and UGH to the The X Factor's potential new host.
Despite the happy(ish) ending, "Gun!" was a pretty somber romp through Travis and Wes's past, finally revealing the events that ultimately led to their forced therapy sessions with Dr. Emma.
Even an extra dose of Sonya Walger couldn’t save this episode from being, well, not a train wreck per se, but pretty close.
We got some new backstory this week in the form of Fred and Dan, the father figures who were mentors to Wes and Travis back before they were “Wes and Travis.”
The concept of having an entire episode dedicated to the idea of Travis and Wes as an “odd couple” seemed pretty redundant given the fact that the entire premise of Common Law hinges on their conflicting personalities, yet ”Odd Couples” was oddly satisfying.
My season-long complaint with Common Law continues to be the fact that the series' episodes have persistently been mired in hit-or-miss territory.
Sneak a peak as the boys set out after a suspect and get into it over the appropriate soundtrack for a criminal pursuit.
Overall, “Performance Anxiety” seemed to suffer from a case of its namesake.
The T Word” involved land mines, terrifying baby masks, and yet another one of Travis's foster brothers... but it also involved progress.
The Ex-Factor” could have been painful and cheesy and eye-roll-inducing to the Nth degree, but it was actually quite fun and provided much-needed background on how Travis and Wes ended up where they are.
Now that we're a few episodes in, do you wish Common Law would stop doing that one thing that annoys you so dang much, or are your needs being met on every possible level?
"Soul Mates" made us eager to eventually find out exactly what happened to drive Wes and Travis apart.
I still think it’s too early to pass judgment on the series as a whole, but much like the pilot before it, “Ride-Along” started out slow with the most interesting bits tacked onto the end.
Plus: American Ninja Warrior, Bob's Burgers, Nikita, and Harry's Law
The new USA drama's pilot definitely had some issues to overcome, but Michael Ealy and Warren Kole were absolutely fun to watch and their characters are enough to keep us interested.
