If you're not watching "Blacklist" with James Spader, you're missing out. Spader is a rogue double-agent -- pretending to be a good old Bond-like spy named "Red" Reddington. Reddington has some undiscovered personal agenda that revolves around the well-being of the pretty face in the series -- Lizzie (Played by Magen Boone).

Yeah . . . it's that complicated.

Yes . . . it's that good

Reddington is a lot like House . . . but with a gun.


"Undateable" is back for another season of rag-tag bar banter. The main characters seem to have settled into a more comfortable.

Chris D'Elia (He was Whitney's boyfriend on "Whitney") plays Danny and along with his bar-owner friend Justin, the two of them provide an entertaining half hour of enjoyable nonsense.

I was really "cranked" for the premise of "Last Man on Earth." How could it miss?

I've watched three episodes.

It missed. (SO FAR)

I'll give "LAST MAN" a little more time. I remember feeling the same way about Anna Faris and "MOM" when it started . . . And now Faris and her mom (Allison Janney) have really hit their stride in terms of smart, sophisticated humor.

Best two new shows this season . . . "Better Call Saul" and "Backstrom."

More about those two next week.

Time to get caught up on "Gotham" and then download Kevin Spacey ("House of Cards") from Netflix.

Gotta be caught up by Thursday when March Madness resumes.

I may have bit off more than I can chew as far as expecting a running total of the estimated body count on "The Following."

I honestly expected the numbers to be MUCH HIGHER. than a mere five (5) bodies per episode.

Here's the puny, running total body count after 5 episodes of The Following" -- Season #3.

Episode Five = +4 Bodies, Season Total = 25, Bodies/Episode = 5.0

An FBI security dude took an ice pick to the brain from Kyle

A second security guard was shot in mid-forehead by Daisy

Kyle took a bullet from Kevin Bacon

An evil lawyer lady was killed/burned to death with an iron . . .

(LINE OF THE WEEK) . . . "You don't have to kill me," the lawyer lady pleaded. THE REPLY BY BAD GUY MARK -- "You're already dead,"he grinned. "It's just about how much it's gonna hurt."

Episode Four = +5 Bodies, Season Total = 21 Bodies/Episode = 5.2

One teenager named Reggie was thrown in front of a car by Mark.

Four firemen were either stabbed or axed during a cult mission by Kyle and Daisy

Episode Three = +6 Bodies, Season Total = 16, Bodies/Episode = 5.5

Three members of a news team (All Knifed by Mark)

One random health care worker in an old folks home (Hammered by Neil)

One random Crucifixion by the macabre Neil

And finally, Neil was gunned down by the FBI (I'll miss Neil)

Episode Two = +1 Body, Season Total = 11, Bodies/Episode = 5.5

One gruesome "Body in a Box" that will be long remembered.

Episode One = +10 Bodies, Season Total = 10, Bodies/Episode = 10

Three in the hotel (Random Maid + Random Anniversary couple)

Three more random victims at the scene of Mark's twin brother's murder scene.

Four more random victims at Mark's mother's doppelganger re-enactment.
