"Ghost Whisperer" (CBS, Fri., 8:00): There was actually a decent plot, but I wish they would get to the gettin' with the Aiden storyline. It's far more interesting to hear a kid talk about the ghosts he sees than it is to see Melinda running all over town half dressed. We've all heard how kids are supposed to have some sort of sixth sense about these things. I just want to know if you're able to talk to spirits, is there ever such a thing as an "imaginary friend"? Rewind: I just realized why Aiden isn't believable as Melinda's son. He's supposed to be a 5-year-old, but his huge front teeth make him look at least 8 or 9. My dental assistant sister says it's normal for some kindergartners to have big teeth, but I want to see Aiden's driver's license! Also, has anybody noticed that ever since J.Love started dating Eli-portrayer Jamie Kennedy in real life, she has more scenes with him than with on-screen hubby, Jim? He came back from the the dead for Melinda and they have her running around with her Eli like they're Fred and Daphne.
"Ugly Betty" (ABC, Fri., 9:00): I hope you guys caught this episode because it was the first time the word "gay" was used in reference to Justin. I've been waiting for four seasons for them to address this topic! It's very telling that as viewers we automatically make assumptions about characters based on stereotypes. I'm pretty sure Justin is gay and just not ready to come out. But I'm basing my conclusion on the googly eyes he made at a male dancer last season, not because of his fierce fashion sense. After being named Homecoming Queen (yes, Queen) Justin turns the joke back on the student body by accepting the crown. When everyone is saying how proud they are, he squashes it with three words: "I'm not gay." Mentor Marc's reply: "Then he's not." I love both Justin and Marc, and it's been really fun watch Marc step in and be Justin's buddy as he transitions through high school. I even detected a bit of adoration slash crush in Justin's eyes when he was asking Marc for advice. I'll definitely be following this storyline to see if Justin gets his heart broken by an unrequited crush.
What do you guys think about Betty's transformation this season? I like this new confidence she has about her, but this physical metamorphosis she's got going on kind of takes away from the charm that is "ugly Betty". I'm guessing America Ferrera is getting tired of the braces. ... OH!! And who thinks Daniel is making a suicide pact and doesn't even know it!! Idiot.
"Medium" (CBS, Fri., 9:00): The most beautiful moment of this show came in the last 2 minutes when it's revealed why a teen aged boy spent his whole life thinking he was someone else. After he was born, his dead father would come to him at night and tell him about his life. ... because only children can see spirits. "Ghost Whisperer" and "Medium" go so well together!!!
