  New tjCast - 'The Unusuals,' 'The Chopping Block' and 'The Fashion Show'

  

  In this week's cast, I bid a fond farewell to ABC's "The Unusuals." Original blog posted here.

  For my side cast, reality shows like "The Chopping Block" and "The Fashion Show" and summer holdovers like "Kings" and "Eli Stone" and "Harper's Island" make way for fresh programming like "Leverage," "Dark Blue," "Drop Dead Diva," "Warehouse 13" and "Eureka." That blog entry here.

  Also, public notice on the Minot Area Theatrical Society's "Deathtrap" auditions July 15-16 in the Minot Public Library, and shout-outs to the Capitol Shakespeare production of "The Merchant of Venice" July 22-26. Enjoy!

  New tjCast - 'Merlin' and 'Better Off Ted' + 'Hung'

  

  In this week's cast, I determined NBC's "Merlin" was somewhat less than magical -- despite the appearance of Tony Head (Giles from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") in the role of Uther Pendragon, King of Camelot. Original blog posted here.

  For my side cast, I look at two very different comedies -- the summer run of "Better Off Ted" on ABC and HBO's "Hung." That blog entry here.

  Also, public notice on the Minot Area Theatrical Society's "Deathtrap" auditions July 15-16 in the Minot Public Library, and shout-outs to a new public radio podcast from the arts scene in and around Peoria, Ill., WCBU-FM's "Out and About," and NPR's wonderful Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Enjoy!

  New tjCast - 'Hawthorne' + 'True Blood' and 'Burn Notice'

  
  
  In this week's cast, I talked about Jada Pinkett Smith's "Hawthorne" on TNT being good -- perhaps even a little bit too good. Original blog posted here.
  
  For my side cast, summer is in full and excellent swing with strong entries thus far by "True Blood" on HBO and "Burn Notice" on USA. That blog entry here.
  
  Also, shout-outs to NPR's Hearing Voices, and The Chillcast with Anji Bee. Plus I debut some new theme music that I hope sounds a little bit smoother than the original -- let me know one way or the other (if you can even discern any difference at all).
  
  And beyond that, enjoy!
