Saturday, July 10th, 2010It all sounds a bit like Soap (again the older television viewers will know that reference), which is both good and a death knell for the show. I don’t think Eureka has jumped the shark, but a fin in the water might have been just sighted.
How to get away with murder
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Just as the nation was welcoming a new President and the “hope for change”, in Oakland, Oscar Grant got more of the same.
