No need for words! This show should be given a 10!!!! It van make you sit on the side of your seat, it will make you laugh and occasionally cry but 6 days is too long to wait for the next one!! Only one small thing I have noticed in this new season is that there are more commercial's than all the years it has been running and the poor writers who are incredible must ne pulling their hair out wondering what they half to leave on the cutting room floor . You should maybe do a couple of 90 minute show

I was initially a skeptic, but after a few episodes I became a convert. The writing is fantastic, mixing longer dramatic story arcs with one-off episodes that are pure confectionary delights. The cast is deep and competent and are given multi dimensional characters to work with that rounds out the world of the show. It doesn't hurt that the leads (Stana Katic and Nathan Filion) are both Canadian!

The plots are good, they keep you fixated on every episode. And oh the chemistry between the 2 of them, totally one of the selling point :))
