Medium (2005–2011)
8/10
Very good series but a bad series finale
31 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
If you like suspense and twists, then Medium is your show to watch. I have enjoyed watching the show and enjoyed all the characters but I must admit that Patricia Arquette did get on my nerves at times while in character and although she was the star of the show, she was my least favorite character on it.

All the seasons were good but the show was "losing its steam" in the last half of season 6 and again in the final season, as the plots were just not as good as previous ones were. Obviously producers were running out of ideas when they had Allison turn on Scanlon in one episode and later in another episode she betrays Devalos. After all those 3 have been through together, you just can't do that as a producer and expect that to be accepted and believed by the viewer.

As for the final episode, well in my opinion producers continued their bad streak and got it wrong again. You MUST keep that family intact throughout, from beginning to end. They completely ruined it with Joe's death. A much better final episode would have been for Allison to find out she was pregnant, she and Joe wonder how they can go on with their careers while raising another child. Then they can fast forward to the future, in the end, of the entire Dubois family attending the High School graduation of the son Joe and Allison never had, until now.

Overall I enjoyed the series and recommend it highly.

Two and a Half Men (2003–2015)
It's all over!
13 October 2011
As the saying goes, "ALL good things must come to an end." I will no longer be watching the show. Ashton is about as big a miscast as you can get. Chuck Lorre's minute of revelation to hire Ashton when he was on the verge of bringing back Sheen was ill fated.

Lorre didn't know it but the answer to saving the show was already on the show - Herb! The few shows that Herb was in he was hilarious! Alan and Herb have great chemistry. All Lorre had to do was have Judith and Herb split, Herb moves in with Alan and Jake (house paid for after Charlie's death). Can you imagine some of the zany dates they can give Herb while he and Judith are separated. How about some crazy double dates for Alan & Herb. How about Judith dropping by giving them both a hard time. It would also open the door for more Jake, Judith, Berta and Evelyn.

Chuck Lorre you missed the boat! The answer was right under your nose. Instead you took your one minute of revelation and turned a masterpiece into a complete disaster.

Abandon Ship ASAP!!!
