Numb3rs: "Pay For Play"
I'm not as impressed by this one, partly because the title gives too much away.
I mean, as soon as I heard the phrase "record label" I knew there was going to turn out to be some bribing of radio stations going on, so it was a bit of a looser thing that they didn't reveal that until late in the episode, because it wasn't a surprise.
There was some slight amusement at the scene at the record label where the big dude turned out to have bought Charlie's book. I couldn't understand more than one word in three of what he was saying; though I guess that was part of the joke.
Then we had the dinner-disaster, and I was kind of annoyed that the writers played the "oh but he's gay" card... it just seemed shallow and cheap.
Cliches abounded, and the plot didn't make a whole lot of sense; what kind of business kills off its own people? It's dumb.
I dunno, I just found this episode all sorts of vaguely annoying.
