Still watching FlashForward every week and the latest episode was really good except a few dumb parts in between the great ones. It seems like the show has great parts mixed with dumb parts throughout. I think the random song that starts playing during an episode needs to stop, it's annoying and it was at it's worst two weeks ago during that shootout which was very stupid IMO.

The plot is a tad bit too slow but the latest episode looks to speed it up slightly. That scene where everyone starts meeting in the house was awesome and the reactions too. It was the best scene in at least three episodes or more.

I also watched Shark Tank during the late summer and fall and thought it was nearly the exact format that American Inventor was. It seemed very similar.
