"Person of Interest" A man's voice is tracked to a former enemy

PERSON OF INTEREST on CBS. (S05E09). Did you watch last night's episode called, "Sotto Voice?." I must say it was the best episode in this last TV season which is winding down quickly. This is the 99th episode & Tuesday night's episode climbs to 100. I wish it wasn't cancelled, but..., Last night's episode has Shaw getting back to New York and detective Fusco finally gets the answers he needs about the first machine. He is part of the team now, but working inside the NYPD.

PERSON OF INTEREST on CBS. Two more episodes coming this week beginning Monday May 30, 2016 at 10/9 p.m. Then, on Tuesday May 31 at 10/9 p.m. it's heating up after what looks like Shaw escaping the second machine "Samaritan."

"48 Hours" Wife missing since 2001 in "Cal Harris: The final verdict"

48 HOURS on CBS. Did you watch last night's episode update called, "Cal Harris: The final verdict?." Three murder trials - Two found him Guilty, but both overturned - One had a Hung Jury. Cal Harris spent a lot of money on lawyers & now has a fourth trial before a judge only. His wife Michele went missing on Sept. 12, 2001 & her body has never been found. Police found blood spatter in the Harris home & Cal was charged with murder. I think he killed his wife, but there is no body.

"Dateline" 1996 unsolved murder with "Mystery in big sky country"

DATELINE on NBC. Did you watch last night's 2-hour episode called, "Mystery in big sky country?." This was a repeat from last January and still grabbed significant TV ratings. It's a mystery because there was no advanced DNA testing back in 1996. Plus, the police contaminated the crime scene. I don't think Brian committed suicide because that gun had no finger prints on it. The killer got away with no trace left behind.

CBS quickly replaces "Rush Hour" with "Code Black"

I apologize to TV fans of "Rush Hour" on CBS.

I was getting ready to watch the next episode & to write my regular TV recap last night on Thursday May 26, 2016. I was very surprised when "Code Black" aired instead of "Rush Hour." It has been reported by the website "TV Series Finale" on Thursday May 26th. The final episodes of "Rush Hour" will air later this Summer. "Code Black" will run Thursday night's for the next few weeks at 10/9 p.m. 

It seems that CBS is not ready to end "Rush Hour" when they cancelled it after one TV season. There was a reported 10 episodes ordered by the network & 2 episodes still remain. The comedy/crime TV show premiered back in late March to low TV ratings. It leveled at 4.50 million TV viewers over 6 episodes & dipped a little after CBS cancelled it. 

I will watch the CBS TV schedule to see when the last remaining episodes of "Rush Hour" will air.

The Finale of "Mr. Selfridge" after 4 TV seasons

MR. SELFRIDGE on PBS. (S04E9). The Season Finale. Jimmy Dillon finally confessed to Harry that he pushed Victor to his death. He later jumped off a bridge committing suicide. The press jumped on Harry's money problems. He went into hiding as gossip filtered into the Selfridge store. 

Selfridge's & Whitely's have now gone into a trade embargo. No one will support Selfridge's financially who cannot in turn support Whitely's. Jimmy's stock in Whitely's goes to Harry & Gordon. They cannot sell Whitely's at the moment & need to break the embargo within the week. 

Madame Mae has been targeted in the press. Jimmy killed Victor over her. She is angry at Harry for not supporting her. She decides to sell her own Selfridge stock & return to Paris. Miss Mardle who is now Mrs. Grove has come back to work. Harry offers her, her late husband's job & she accepts.

Detective Fusco gets closer to missing college student who might be connected to "Samaritan." Root, Harold & John crash a wedding to stop a murder. The fight between the two machines is getting rough. There are some surprising answers at the end of this episode. I cannot believe CBS cancelled this TV show.

"Dateline" A New Years Eve party ends & a mother is shot in the head

DATELINE on NBC. Did you watch last night's episode called, "After the Party?." I think this is a repeat episode that had an update because of the court trial in 2015 of Tom Fallis. I watched this & even though Tom had a temper. His wife Ashley was distraught over her miscarriage & shot herself. I don't believe the witness saying he heard Tom admit he killed his wife. Because that witness went fishing with Tom the next day.

"48 Hours" 12 former CIA Directors interviewed in 2-hour special

48 HOURS on CBS. Did you watch last night's episode called, "The Spymasters: CIA in the crosshairs?." Unbelievable! The CIA warned President Bush & his officials about a forthcoming attack on America in June of 2001. That warning was ignored by Condoleezza Rice and the World Trade Center buildings were attacked on 9.11.2001. This 2-hour special is just one of many incredible CIA stories going back to Ronald Reagan's Presidency.

"Rush Hour" has Carter and Lee protecting witness in safe-house

RUSH HOUR on CBS. (S01E08). Did you watch last night's episode called, "Wind beneath my wingman?." The overall TV ratings slipped a little and the reason is because CBS cancelled the TV show. There will be no second TV season and what a shame. Gerald who plays Carter's cousin is gonna be missed. He is the funniest character on the show and steals scenes from the main characters. I think CBS dropped it because of mediocre TV ratings and it didn't premiere big.

Last night, Carter and Lee protect a witness from her boss who goes on trial. Someone is trying to kill that witness.

She believes it was a mistake, but he says that it meant a lot to him. She later goes to the editor of the newspaper where a reporter is digging into Victor's death.

Dillon has only three days to add supplies because "Whitely's" had gone into debt. Dillon cannot control his anger. The stress over money & his guilt over killing Victor consumes him. He  goes to Mr. Crab & bullies him into re-supplying the store in three days instead of five. 

Mr. Crab goes to Miss Mardle & asks her to return to work at Selfridge's. She doesn't want to because of the children left behind by their father Mr. Grove. Rosalie confronts Harry about Madame Mae.

"Rush Hour" cancelled after one TV season

RUSH HOUR on CBS. The network took a gamble & put this remake of a popular movie franchise in the hour where "Elementary" sat for four TV seasons. CBS pushed "Elementary" to Sunday nights & the fans followed even though they didn't like it. "Rush Hour" didn't grab the TV ratings & will run out its' remaining episodes on Thursday & then that's it. There will be no second TV season. I didn't like the idea of a TV remake, but the show began to grow on me after 7 episodes. The film comedy of Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan is missing, but the TV show has its' own light humor.

"48 Hours" A wife shoots her husband 6 times in their yard

48 HOURS on CBS. Did you watch last night's episode called, "Death of an Olympian?." Erin Moriarty interviewed Jane who was convicted of shooting her husband 6 times in their home yard. Jane kept wiping away "No Tears." The prosecution offered her 6 years in prison & manslaughter. She turned them down & wanted her story told that her husband Dave was an abusive man. She was convicted of 1st degree murder & her "Stupid" lawyer took it harder than her. She had to console him. "Unbelievable..!" Jane killed her husband because he was gonna leave her. He found that she spent everything they had & owed huge back taxes. She even borrowed $40,000 from Dave's mother. It took 6 years for her trial to start because of her lies. Pack of lies..!

NBC "The Mysteries of Laura" cancelled after 2 seasons

THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA on NBC. We will never know if Jake chose Laura over his new girlfriend. The cliffhanger will not be answered. The TV crime show was cancelled today by NBC after 2 TV seasons & some good TV ratings. I was a fan and now I have to find another TV show this Fall to TV recap. A lot of comedies & dramas are being cut from all the networks. Some TV shows only lasted one season. It really is a blood bath because the networks are competing with the Internet for viewers. I think "Laura" will continue to stream over at HULU. We'll see...,

"Dateline" A father finds wife & son shot dead in their home

DATELINE on NBC. Did you watch last night's episode called, "The Trouble in Quitman?." I was on the fence with this one, even during two court trials. That is until I realized that there was no other suspects besides the father. It was a circumstantial case with no blood and no DNA from Jason at the crime scene. I thought he had a good chance of being found Not Guilty in the second trial. But, the jury found him Guilty. He covered it up really well if he did it.

"Mr. Selfridge" Harry branches out with a new store as Mr. Grove succumbs to cancer

MR. SELFRIDGE on PBS. (S04E07). Tilly was the only black seamstress who worked at Selfridge's and she was very good. Her white supervisor treated her with some bigotry, who found some scandal in Tilly's past. Mr. Grove terminated her. He hasn't told Harry that he will retire soon because of his cancer. It is unexpected, but Grove dies suddenly.

A young reporter is investigating the death of Victor. He mistakenly talks to Dillon who was the person who pushed Victor to his death. Madame Mae is within earshot of this heated exchange as Dillon gets angry. She knows his violent temper as Dillon's mother calms him down. Dillon teamed up with Harry on taking over the "Whitley's" store. They bought it for $300,000.

Meanwhile, Mr Crab took the liberty of looking at the accounts of "Whitley's" & it isn't good. Their suppliers claim "Whitley's" owes too much & will not extend credit even for Harry Selfridge. He cannot find anymore money in his own stores to cove the debt of "Whitley's."

But, the machine has to be rebuilt to full capacity. "She" has to trust the "team" again so they can help others.

"Elementary" Did Morland Holmes take revenge with murder?

ELEMENTARY on CBS. Did you watch last night's episode called, "A Difference in kind?." It was the TV Season Finale. Morland Holmes is a man you cannot figure out. I think he protects his son Sherlock, but does things behind everyone's back no one can prove. I strongly believe that when Morland found out who killed his lover Sabine. He took murderous revenge, but nobody can charge him with homicide. Not even his son Sherlock. There is no love lost between the two even though Morland might care a little bit. I thought Sherlock and Watson "framing" Joshua for murder was totally unlike them. But, last TV season, Sherlock was willing to beat down his former drug dealer. He even fell off the wagon by taking drugs again. Everyone is on the edge except Watson who has a little bit more control. She was a former doctor though who turned to drugs after losing her job.

"48 Hours" A trained military man shoots wife to death

48 HOURS on CBS. Did you watch last night's episode called, "The Soldier's Wife?." All I'm gonna say is, if you are a trained military gunman. You should not point any type of gun at a human being. This young man shot his wife directly in the head. What bothered me was him not calling 911 & more importantly the recorded camera in the back of the police car. He was not acting like a man who killed his wife. It was all about him, "why me?, why me?." He wouldn't let his friend in to see his dead wife either. Instead of calling 911, he dumped all the liquor out of the bottles. He did nothing to try and save her even though she was shot. His neighbor called 911 instead. The young man got 13 years in prison for man-slaughter who got away with murder.

"Hawaii Five-0" A home invasion & murder leads to something deeper

He takes it to a more creepy level by having a painting of Kono in his bedroom. She has to protect him because he was a witness to a home invasion & can identify the intruder. The woman who was murdered in that home invasion was the mother of Gabriel's daughter. Surprise, surprise! He is of course related to Chin Ho & Kono who is very corrupt.

University of New Mexico cuts ties with "Gathering of Nations" Powwow

UNM says that the largest Powwow in the United States is costing them money. So, they ended their contract with the organizers of the "Gathering of Nations" (GON). UNM lost $2,400 from clean up costs in 2015. They charge the GON each year a flat-rate-fee to rent THE PIT arena. There is no report saying UNM got any percentage of the profits from the Powwow. The Rodeo Bull Riding Championships gave UNM percentages from ticket sales & they received more than $200,000. 

The GON is looking at other venues & the general manger of "EXPO New Mexico" wants the GON to head over to Tingley Coliseum in 2017. The manager gave the GON a tour & the meeting went well. Tingley hosted the National Indian Finals Rodeo for decades. The coliseum is spacious & wide as THE PIT was a tight fit for 3,000 Powwow dancers during each Grand Entry. 

The GON powwow brings in an estimated $22 million dollars to the Albuquerque economy each year. It is a boon for local food vendors inside THE PIT & that includes UNM whose food grabs huge sales every year.
