I totally forgot to get last week’s “Brothers and Sisters” post up. Been very busy, then got sick 🙁 Anyway here are some thoughts and a mimi-cap on the last episode.

Kevin and Justin took Tommy to Baha to get away for surfing. Their once secret family hide-away had become a crowded spring break destination. After some fights, Tommy found out the purpose of the trip was to talk him into taking a plea bargain to spare a lengthy jail sentence. He claimed he would do it, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out what was really going on. Color Kevin and Justin shocked when they found a note from Tommy at the end of the show, he’d split for Mexico! So it looks like we won’t be seeing to much of Tommy, at least not for a few episodes. I still expect Kevin to step up and help Julia with the baby. That would keep her and the baby on the show and in the family.

Ryan kept paying attention to Rebecca, who finally asked him what the hell was up with him. Good girl! I haven’t liked Rebecca much lately, but I really wouldn’t have liked it if she moved onto Ryan like that. He claimed he was just in need of a friend. We learned Ryan was a political science major, but a debate with Kitty about family set him off. He finally confessed a secret to Rebecca. He was told hid mom died in a car accident, but he thinks she killed herself over William. Dum dum dum dum! This could actually get really dark and twisted, I wonder if they’d go there?

The final story had Kitty depressed and unhappy. She was pulling away from Robert, who didn’t seem to be taking his heart attach seriously. Sarah sat down with Robert to talk to him about Kitty, how when she stops arguing and pulls away, well it’s never a good sign. That’s how she acted with their mom before she up and fled to New York. Robert was sure it was nothing, but when he put her to the test, Kitty failed. He claimed he read all these books she set out for him, but wanted to get better his way. She said “Okay whatever . . . ” There’s trouble with this marriage for sure! Robert better step up and fix things, or he will be without a wife and soon.

On “American Idol” Alexis Grace was sent home. She and Michael Sarver were the bottom two.

On “Dancing With The Stars” it was Belinda Carlisle who fell victim to the first to go curse.

In both cases I think the wrong people were sent home! Steve Wozniak should have gone over Belinda, and Michael Sarver over Alexis. But oh well!

TVGuide is reporting that Sharon Lawrence will guest star at the end of April as Izzie’s mom. She’ll no doubt be coming in because of Izzie’s illness. Apparently there are mother-daughter tensions between the two, so Izzie won’t be happy to see her.

So we’ll begin this week’s thoughts with the much hyped girl-on-girl kiss(es) and Susan’s story. Susan, afraid her supervisor (Guest Star Swoosie Kurtz) at the school would give her a bad review, invited her over for dinner to try and befriend her. Well Susan’s attempts were taken as flirtations and come-ons, and the woman just happened to be a lesbian. They shared a peck, but the “funny” came when she told her friends about it and Gabby asked for more details. She kissed Susan to find out what kind of a kiss it was Susan got. Long story short, Susan told the woman she was not gay, she was trying to butter her up. Of course the woman said she was going to give Susan a good evaluation anyway. They ended up becoming friends in the end.

I don’t know. I mean the storyline was humorous, and Swoosie Kurtz is awesome. However it just didn’t really fit in anywhere with the plot. It was clear this was thrown in simply as a sweeps ratings stunt. I mean I don’t think we are going to see Swoosie again, but who knows. I didn’t hate it, and I enjoyed it more than some of the other stories this week.

With his boss dead, Carlos of course was promoted to that job. This made him president of the company! Carlos had to hire his replacement, and hired an old girlfriend. Gabby wasn’t too thrilled, until she saw the old girlfriend was full-figured. She thought she had nothing to worry about as the woman clearly put on some weight. Oops! She’d always been that way. Well of course Gabby was now worried.

Lynette meanwhile was trying to find a job. She first went to Gabby to try and see if Carlos would hire her, but Gabby didn’t think it would work. Later when Lynette had an offer, Gabby insisted she come to work for Carlos after all. She wanted Lynette to babysit her husband, which she eventually realized. In the end Lynette took the job (she got Gabby to give her more money than the other offer) and Gabby realized she didn’t have to worry about Carlos.

This storyline, well I don’t have much to comment on. I mean it did at least serve plot points, to further both Carlos’ and Lynette’s careers, both of which had been in trouble. However they were a bit boring I thought story wise.

Then we come to the “oh brother!” story, the Orson one. Bree found out Orson had continued stealing from their neighbors. He claimed what started as spite stealing became a thrill for him, he couldn’t stop. At the end of the show, after dragging him to a shrink, he claimed to the doctor he was doing it because it was the one thing Bree couldn’t control.

Okay it at least had a resolution that somewhat made sense. He liked taking away Bree’s control. Still I stand by my thoughts from last week and my “tweets,” I think this story is dumb. Is it now over, or is it going to keep progressing?

Edie dug into Dave’s past, armed with his real last name, and found out that he had a daughter who died in a car crash along with his wife. Meanwhile Dave convinced Katherine to go camping with him and Mike. She wasn’t going to go, claiming she had to do her taxes. She eventually agreed to go though. Dave told her he knew it would mean so much to Mike, she meant a lot to him, he doesn’t know what Mike would do if he lost her . . .

So clearly the plan is to kill Katherine so Mike feels what Dave felt. Next week’s previews say a housewife dies. They’ve set it up to make us think it’s Katherine, but I think we all know it will be Edie who goes.

ABC shows the week of April 1st all appear to be repeats, save for some of the newer shows. Here are spoilers for the next two weeks of “Castle,” and “Samantha Who.”

I’ve added “Castle” to the blog, as I’m watching it. However I’m not sure how much I can cover it really. Shows that basically wrap up a story in an hour or half-hour I find hard to discuss.

Two shows I watch and cover on the blog are about to go on hiatus.

First, this week’s “Ghost Whisperer” is the last episode listed by CBS until April 3rd, which is a repeat. What’s going on CBS? It seems like “March Madness” basketball takes over for awhile.

“Ugly Betty’s” episode this week is the last new one for awhile. ABC will finally put “Samantha Who” back on. Thursday night will have a new line-up for awhile, including the new show “In The Motherhood.”

I have to watch some back episodes of “Sam” online, I missed the last few new ones (cause they kept getting moved around!)
