EJ I just want to say that I wish Joan had stayed in Harry’s department. Teaming up my two favorite characters on a regular basis… that would be the greatest spinoff ever. As for the joke of the week, it’s a tough heat. I was right, there is only one […]

Swingtown Finale: Take it to the Limit (Sep 12)
