This Week in Television - June 28-July 2, 2010

Happy Town
Dan Farmer isn't the magic man, but clearly he knows more than he lets on. Otherwise I don't see why he would so easily believe Big Dave's unconfirmed story about the pit with the seven cages. Or maybe he simply believed it because no one else did, and that's the kind of risk taker he is. And I think that Peggy Haplin having murdered TC's mother suggests a connection to the magic man through Henley. It's suspicious that she knows what Peggy did, and that Sheriff Griffin mentions her alias/real name (Chloe) when tranced, which I still believe was somehow induced by the magic man. Bonus points for including "Magic Man" by Heart in the soundtrack for this episode, the second song so far (unless I missed more) to have "magic man" in the lyrics.

The IT Crowd
Definitely a vast improvement over last week. This felt like a proper episode again, with all of our characters getting in some good moments, except for maybe Douglas, who actually sort of played it straight for a change. I especially loved Moss's storyline with the game show and then the secret society thing that sort of turned into a Fight Club parody. The Asian guy did a hilarious job of strengthening those scenes by overly dramatizing everything. I am both relieved and satisfied, because for a moment I was worried the whole season might turn out like the premiere.
