Monday TV Roundup

A pretty thin night with no How I Met Your Mother and Heroes (thank god that returns next week) and RAW basically doing a glorified house show. But here's what we did get:

The King of Queens: It's really a shame that this show as ending as it really hasn't decreased in quality, like so many comedies do by this time in their run. KoQ has never been the best sitcom, but it has always been consistently funny; a rare find in three camera sitcoms these days. Anyways, tonight's episode introduced an interesting concept - Doug becoming a vegan. There was nothing really wrong with the episode, but I would have liked to see it explored further. I mean, we barely got to see Doug's friends' reactions to the change and that could have supplied a ton of good humor. As it is, the show still provided some decent laughs, which is all I ask for.

24: Well after having fans endure some 17 odds hours of complete boredom and idiocy, this show seems to finally be back on track. Plenty of Jack! Audrey in peril! Chloe working behind CTU's back! On top of that, it appears Daniels is back as Commander-in-Chief. We may not agree with his politics, but he clearly makes for better TV than milquetoast Wayne Palmer. I liked how they were able to connect the China stuff to the Russian nuke plot without having it be completely ludicrous. Next week's standoff should be exciting and let's hope Jack and Audrey make it out all right. This show doesn't need to be killing off anymore beloved characters.
