TV Week in Review (week of 4/22/12)
This Week in Review entry is extra noteworthy in that without designing or intending it (I promise), every single category listed - including Guest Star of the Week and Music Video of the Week - tops out with ties. My sitcoms section sports a three-way tie (ultra-rare for that category). Adding to the interesting situation is the fact that my Guest Star of the Week honoree actually tied with herself. Yay, Felicia Day! She rocked outstanding guest performances on two of my favorite sci-fi shows, Eureka and Supernatural. Don't watch the Syfy Eureka clip (below) if you haven't yet seen the episode (spoiler alert).
In this unusual edition, so filled with tied honorees, The CW owned my hour-long scripted list tying for first position with itself, it also claimed half of my Guest Star of the Week honor via Day. FOX made my Top 7 scripted-hour list earning two spots and it shares top honors (with HBO and ABC) in my Outstanding Sitcom category as well. NBC is the only net to double place on my main Sitcoms list, and, it's also one of the two genealogy-oriented Reality shows dominating that category. Thanks to Punk'd, MTV is the only network to slot twice on my Reality Shows list (I'm really enjoying this new season with different hosts each week).
I found a decent Summer-long list of upcoming premieres and finales I thought you might want to check out here, unfortunately for me, it'll mostly be a week filled with finales.
Now with that business out of the way, onto my preferred picks from last week's primetime TV lineup... * Warning: videos below may contain spoilers and/or mature content not suitable for all ages *
12. The Finder - "The Inheritance" (FOX) 11. Bones - "The Warrior in the Wuss" (FOX) (10). Once Upon a Time - "The Return" (ABC) (9). Smash - "Publicity" (NBC) (8). Private Practice - "And Then There Was One" (ABC)

Trivia Question of the Week: Last week's episode of The Big Bang Theory feautured TableTop host Wil Wheaton as a guest star. TableTop is a webseries that appears on which YouTube channel? [Hint: Felicia Day runs it.]
Current Medal Standing: avengingtitan: Dragavon: misac: Psivage: ThirtyFiveMinutesAgo: BlueStreak: GOSD: GLX: AMS: Fintan: nietoperz: Punchy:
12. Car Warriors - "Challenger" (SPEED) (11). Top Shot - "Have Machine Gun Will Travel" (History) (10). Dream Machines - "Attack of the Pink & Green Machines" (Syfy) (9). Styled by June - "Michelle Williams" (VH1) (8). Total Blackout - "Entering The Darkness / 2 Heads Are Blinder Than 1" (Syfy)
Last week's total hours viewed held roughly steady with the week before clocking in with a final total of fifty-two. Twenty-eight hours went to watching scripted hour-long shows, just nine were dedicated to scripted half-hour fare, with "reality" programs earning fifteen hours of my time. The only show I accidentally missed was CMT's The Singing Bee (its second episode of this new season).
The handful of new clips hitting the web last week that engaged my attention most amounted to three film trailers, a TV preview for TNT's summer relaunch of Dallas and a new character profile featurette from Marvel's The Avengers.
My first film clip featured is actually age restricted despite its lead actress being only fifteen years old. Chloë Grace Moretz (and Blake Lively) lead a cast that includes Alec Baldwin in the shoot 'em up thriller, Hick, blasting into theaters May 11th.
Machinima released a kick-ass exclusive trailer last week for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Consider yourself warned, though, this clip includes spoilerage. The newest G.I. Joe flick premieres June 29th.
The last teaser trailer featured from last week's batch is from executive producer William Katt. A captivating superhero pic titled Sparks (opening Fall 2012) I greatly look forward to seeing!
The Avengerfeaturette I'd been waiting to see most finally dropped when Marvel unveiled Black Widow's (brief) profile last Tuesday. Joss Whedon's mighty opus debuts May 4th but you can shake some ground with the booming tunes of Avengers Assemble beginning tomorrow (May 1st). Marvel's The Avengers: Black Widow Featurette [Runtime 1.02]
My favorite two posters from last week were for MIB3 (saving the multiverse 5/25) and G.I. Joe: Retaliation (exploding across America June 29th).
