Week in Clack – Premieres, previews and the just plain weird … and Neil Patrick Harris

Week of January 11 to January 17

Clever, insolent, creative, irreverent; even a little twisted. I speak of the writers here at CliqueClack, and the unique posts they churn out day after day. How could we let seven days go by without highlighting some of the week’s gems?

TV may be back, but there’s still a lot more to look forward to, and we’ve got the previews to prove it.

• Jen loves Lie to Me; find out why in her sneak-peek.
• Keith previews Warehouse 13‘s pilot script with a promising review.

So what’s weird this week?

• ER‘s dream episode is getting a lot of attention; check out Rich’s review.
• There’s always some weird news about Dollhouse; Brett reports on three different news items and what they might mean to this new Joss Whedon series.
• Were you wondering about the bizarre “Pa does not love Fa” reference on last week’s Psych? Rich has got the answer for you.
• Julia’s back Guest-clacking for us again, and she admits — publicly! — that’s she’s addicted to bad reality TV in Reality TV Watchers Anonymous.
• No, you aren’t in a time warp — it’s CliqueClack Flashback with Jen’s take on Thirtysomething.
• Which is weirder — orgasmic birth or Neil Patrick Harris? Kona will tell you.

Speaking of Neil Patrick Harris, he made the rounds this week at CliqueClack. Bob wonders if NPH was the best SNL host this season, while I wonder if NPH’s character Barney on How I Met Your Mother should evolve, or stay delightfully piggish.

How did some of the premiere episodes of your favorite shows do this week? Check out …

• Keith’s review of the Battlestar Galactica premiere — Frak Earth!
• My review of the Kyle XY premiere, a new and darker Kyle.
• Guest-clacker Sebastian’s review of the Friday Night Lights premiere.

And then, get excited for Lost‘s premiere by revisiting Bob’s Lost in Lost this week.

If you love Supernatural, you know that those pretty boys can act — will the world find out as Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles make their big screen debuts?

As the Real World gets reviewed by Scott for the first time and Kona writes her first installment of the Law and Order wrap-up, Bob finishes season two of his The Wire virgin’s diary.
