The Week in Entertainment

TV: House. Oh, yecchh. Urg. Foreman and Hadley? Maybe she's gonna die like real soon. Numb3rs - I'm not crazy about the Penfield character, so this wasn't one of my favorite. Pushing Daisies - the Norwegians! "Svedes!" Ned's father is George Hamilton! I cannot believe this show has been cancelled. The Mentalist - a nice episode.

Read: Frozen Tracks by Åke Edwardson - not the first in the series, and all the characters are well-drawn with complex backstories - well-plotted and fascinating.
