Bull - Labor Days television review

Bull opens its Fourth Season with Bull (Michael Weatherly) and Benny (Freddy Rodríguez) on the outs, both suffering from working without the other, and Bull in need of an attorney to defend a bartender (Monique St. Cyr) from manslaughter charges after the man she served committed murder on New Year’s Eve. Of course, Benny comes back to chair the case, and he and Bull bury the hatchet (although it seems he may offer more legal opinions this time around). Legal-wise, things feel a tad too over-simplified here in a District Attorney (Amir Arison) perusing a very questionable case, Bull unable to find even a single capable lawyer to take the case, and both Bull and Benny willing to go against Bull’s expert advice on the jury to try Benny’s strategy.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - The Color of Revenge! TV review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Gotham City where a masked detective and an assortment of partners would help save the world on a weekly basis. The episode opens with a flashback to Batman (Diedrich Bader) and Robin (Crawford Wilson) taking down Crazy Quilt (Jeffrey Tambor), who is blinded by the Boy Wonder. Fast-forwarding a few years, “The Color of Revenge!” reunites the Dynamic Duo after Robin has left Gotham City and struck out on his own in Blüdhaven. Batman arrives in town with news of Crazy Quilt’s escape and, to Robin’s chagrin, immediately tries to take control of the case. Although he comes off a bit whiny at times here, the episode Robin feeling overshadowed with Batman’s take-charge attitude and his tendency to still treat his former sidekick like, well, a sidekick.

Titans - Rose / Ghosts television review

The past returns to haunt the original Titans in “Rose” and “Ghosts” when Dr. Light (Michael Mosley) breaks out of prison and begins targeting members of the team. Dick (Brenton Thwaites) brings everyone back to Titans Tower, where the new recruits continue to train, and Jason Todd (Curran Walters) continues to be an ass (if the writers of the show were trying to capture the unlikable nature of the Todd Robin that led to fans voting he be murdered by the Joker, they are definitely going down the right path). Light certainly comes off creepy and dangerous, even if the design of his costume could use a little work, but it’s the confirmation that he’s working with Deathstroke (Esai Morales), something the team has yet to discover, that increases the danger for the Titans. Deathstroke’s plan to divide and conquer (an immediately already divided team) begins with the capture of Todd.

Young Justice - Private Security television review

Although there a larger issues at play throughout, including a dramatic subplot involving Zatanna (Lacey Chabert) and her father (Nolan North), “Private Security” offers one of the more enjoyable episodes early in the show’s Third Season as (in return for helping them take an a meta-human trafficking ring later), Robin (Jesse McCartney), Jim Harper (Crispin Freeman) and Roy Harper (Freeman) all agree to help Will Harper (Freeman) by working for his security firm for the day and standing in for his sick workers. And it’s just horrendously bad luck for super-human gangster Brick (Khary Payton) and his crew that they choose this day to try and rob the shipment.

Remington Steele - Steele Flying High TV review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the 80s detective show Remington Steele. What starts out as a simple way to get rid of Steele (Pierce Brosnan) for a couple of hours and earn some nice publicity for the agency soon becomes more complicated when a murder is uncovered, Steele goes missing, and everyone involved has suspicious motives concerning land being donated to a wild life preserve for the bald eagle. Offering nods from everything from The Maltese Falcon to Chinatown, Steele begins enjoying himself a bit too much for Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) as he takes on more of a Sam Spade personality. His kidnapping, and the attempt to kill both Steele and Laura, are only minor speed bumps on the way to unmasking a killer.
