Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 4 Performance TV Show

Outlaw: In Re: Jessica Davis TV Show

30 Rock: Jack the Writer

Bones: The Skull in the Sculpture
As far as episodes of Bones go, “The Skull in the Sculpture” was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen. I took a wild guess just minutes into the show about who the killer was and was surprisingly right; though I didn’t know the motive.
