Blythe Danner: TV Guide News

Medium Episode Recap: "A Taste of Her Own Medicine" | TV Show Recaps | 3/3/2009
Sleep. Sleep tonight. There's a theme running through this episode of Medium and it's sleep. Allison uses sleep to find clues to find missing people, receive messages from dead people and find out that her colleagues are having a baby. Joe tries to sleep, but with a wife who abruptly awakens at least once every night, he's losing more sleep than gaining.

Allison enters work and approaches Lee with a smile on her face; she knows he and Lynn are going to have a baby. The opening scene between Lynn and Miguel (working in a convenience store) was one of the funniest ones this season. I had to rewind and watch it a second time. Plus they had the best lines of the episode. "Your eggo is preggo!" And, Miguel yelling out after Lynn, "You pay for that pee stick when you're done! Don't think it's yours just because you marked it with your urine!"

Of course, Lee is having trouble accepting that he and Lynn ... read more 15 Comments

24's Smart Move | Matt Roush | 3/13/2007
After weeks of beating up on 24, I felt I should weigh in briefly after this week’s above-par episode, if only to shower praise on someone who was so robbed last year at the Emmys, when the show and Kiefer Sutherland finally won their long-deserved trophies. I’m talking, of course, about the ever-fabulous Jean Smart, as former first lady Martha Logan. (How could they have given the Emmy to Blythe Danner over Smart—or, for that matter, over this year’s awards queen, Chandra Wilson? Aren’t the Emmys just sad?)Back to Martha. Now institutionalized in a cozy bungalow and under the watchful and affectionate care of Secret Service Agent Extraordinaire Aaron Pierce, Martha (as played so wittily by Smart) was somehow both ravaged and ravishing as she coolly regarded what remained of her ex-husband the disgraced ex-president.They may have telegraphed the kitchen knife a few too many times as Martha began melting down under the stress of the visit and the delayed phon... read more
