Season Two of Leverage is set to begin tomorrow night. The show centers around a team of thieves and con artists (Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, Aldis Hodge) who use their unique talents to help those who have been taken advantage of by the system. If you, like me, missed the first season (seriously, I don’t even remember hearing about this show last year) here’s a quick recap to get you up to speed. The first episode of the second season, “The Beantown Bailout Job,” airs Wednesday night at 9/8c on TNT.

Psych all mashed up

  • Title: Psych

Psych, the USA Network original about a psychic detective who’s not so much a psychic (or a detective), returns for a new season on Friday at 10/9C. I must admit I’m pretty psych-ed as I’ve been a fan of the zaniness (including many 80’s pop culture references) of the show since it first aired. The official site has tons of fun stuff fans of the show can enjoy including clips, games, quizes, and the ability to make your own Psych Mashup. Head on over to make your own! Here’s mine.

Quote of the Week

We haven’t done one of these for awhile, so here’s something from this past week which stood out.  In the conclusion of “New Rules” Bill Maher, ecstatic over Obama’s win, let loose this apt description of the United States…

“Yes, America is like Jessica Simpson.  Sometimes it’s so stupid it embarrasses you, but on the other hand, how about those titties!”

Who’s on Sci-Fi?

  • Title: Doctor Who
  • tv.com: link

Well it looks like American audiences will finally get a chance to see the latest adventures of the man known simply as the Doctor.  The Sci-Fi Channel and BBC Worldwide announced an agreement allowing Sci-Fi to start showing all 13 episodes of the first season of the new Doctor Who with an option for season two.  For those who don’t know the tale Doctor Who is a time lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels time and space with his companions in his TARDIS.  One of the longest running shows of all time that ran on the BBC for 26 years, ending in 1989 (and a best forgotten tv-movie in 1996), finally got a new lease on life last year with the adventures of the new Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper).  Start looking for episodes Friday nights 9:00/8:00 on the Sci-Fi Channel beginning in March.
