Hard to believe department: Dancing with the Stars is the #1 show in America. It's great to live in such a shallow country. And come on, they're not even stars! I mean, Bristol Palin? Really? That's the best you can do?
Pathetic as I find it, what that does to Lie to Me is the real concern. It has rather quietly become one of the best shows on the tube. The science of detecting lies has never been shown as intriguingly. And the interactions among the characters are like nothing else on television. It's all set up by the brilliant and intriguing Dr. Lightman, the second-most interesting Sherlock Holmes type character on TV.
Of course, the most interesting Sherlock Holmes character on TV is - Sherlock. The PBS show has now shown its initial run of three shows. The end of the third one is a classic cliffhanger, the best since Picard became Borg. Actually, the third episode was probably the weakest of the three, though the introduction of Holmes's mortal enemy Moriarty was imaginative.
