Cheers & Jeers: Madeleine Stowe's Sweet Revenge

Cheers & Jeers: NCIS --- Love is Murder!

Jeers to NCIS for killing yet another romance. It's become a running joke on CBS' top-rated procedural that almost any love interest for the regulars ends up either killing or being killed. Earlier this season, everything wasn't Ducky for David McCallum's ME after he discovered his angelic girlfriend (Cheryl Ladd) was a devilish psycho. And now, Ziva's on-again, off-again love connection CI-Ray (Enrique Murciano) pops the question — and Cote de Pablo's Mossad vet uncovers evidence he gunned down an innocent woman while pursuing a terrorist.

First Look: Damages Ups the Girl Power

When Patty Hewes talks, people listen — and the same goes for Glenn Close. "Last year felt a little guy-heavy," says the star of Damages, which featured John Goodman, Dylan Baker and Chris Messina in Season 4. "So Rose Byrne and I asked the producers to bring in more strong females."

Cheers & Jeers: Wife Swapping with the "Stars"

Jeers to Celebrity Wife Swap for degrading the institution of marriage — and celebrity. Want more Cheers & Jeers? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now! It's egregious enough that ABC's last-gasp reality reincarnation recruited Gary Busey — who's now more famous for riding a motorcycle without a helmet and sustaining a serious head injury than for his Oscar-nominated work in the title role in 1978's The Buddy Holly Story. Making matters even worse, he's not even...
