In this weeks’ episode of Switched at Birth, “The Persistence of Memory” everyone is dealing with some major issues. The episode begins with Kathryn suggesting Daphne take a cooking class at Buckner Hall, because the notion that Daphne taking class at a hearing school is bad has really sunk in.

Last night on True Blood we were introduced to a whole new character: Eric Northman. Yes, I know he’s not really new, but here is a stripped down, arrogance removed, vulnerable, child-like vampire that we have never seen before.

Royal Pains is back, and is yet another show employing the one year flash-forward narrative technique.

Raven Symone returns to television tonight in ABC Family’s new comedy State of Georgia and she’s ready and hopeful of providing more laughs.

I should say multi-talented because Raven is not only …
