What you need to see, read, do this week: The Violent Femmes' Gnarls Barkley homage, an early gay-marriage prototype, and a "Sex and the City" antidote.

First!! What? Okay, then. Second! What? WHAT?!! All right, then, dammittohell: THIRD.

I'm pretty sure that it's "hammer," not "hummer."

(Actually, it's "hammered.")

Hammer dulcimer

Hammer. Not "hummer"

correction

That reference to "hummer dulcimers" in the Shearwater capsule? I'm guessing it's "hammer."

I second that emotion.

Mary McCormick is wasted in this show (In Plain Sight). The dialogue is too arch and not funny as well. The plots are predictable and even Missy Pyle couldn't save last week's episode, which will be the last one I watch. I am a big fan of Burn Notice (and my wife even more so) and The Closer. If you want to add another well written, at times hysterically funny, show, try The Middleman on ABC Family. (What it's doing there with its not-so-subtle sexual innuendoes is beyond me.) Enjoy!

In Plain Sight

I really wanted to like this show, but it's not that well written.

Burn Notice, Closer and Monk are much better shows.
