Picks of the Week: Two Faves and a Halloween Treat

The premieres and the special events are slowing down, so I thought I would take this opportunity to spotlight two of my favorites.

This week’s Picks of the Week are “Journeyman” and “Dirty Sexy Money”…

I’ve already told you that “Journeyman” is in trouble so I especially hope those of you with Nielsen boxes or diaries will take my advice. Last week, Dan was forced to admit to his wife that his presumed dead fiancé travels through time like him. And Dan learned that he must sometimes break the rules in order to accomplish his missions. This week, Dan “leaps” at the absolute worst time—when he’s alone with his son.

“Journeyman” airs Monday at 10 p.m. on NBC…

Last week, “Dirty Sexy Money” pulled a dirty trick on the audience by not revealing to us which Darling children are not Tripp’s (I don’t think any of them are his.). But watching Tripp blackmail Leticia’s doctor and then trick Leticia into revealing the truth was so awesome, I’m willing to forgive them. I just hope when it comes Emmy time that the producers remember to submit Donald Sutherland in the supporting category.

This week, Nick finally meets the man his father was investigating before he died (and may have actually been working for), Simon Elder (Blair Underwood).

“Dirty Sexy Money” airs Wednesday at 10 p.m…

Finally, if you’re lucky enough to have SoapNet, have they got a treat for you.

Just in time for Halloween, it’s a three-episode marathon of “Days of Our Lives” featuring Marlena’s possession. If you missed it in 1995, you’ll want to catch it this time as Marlena (Deidre Hall) becomes possessed by the devil and sets a church on fire, morphs into a panther and levitates. But don’t worry. It’s all good campy fun.

The “Days” marathon airs Sunday, October 28th beginning at 9 p.m…
