It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised and that happened as I screened "Wedding Band," (10 p.m. Saturday, TBS), an hourlong comedy about yes, a wedding band.

I wasn't expecting much because TBS' slogan 'very funny' has often been overstatement, if not an outright lie. And while "Wedding Band" isn't flat-out hilarious, I was smiling at the end of the feel-good pilot. Its portrayal of four male friends is closer in sensibility to "Men Of A Certain Age" than TBS' own "Men at Work."

I was a latecomer to "Sons of Anarchy," only initiated into the SAMCRO world this summer during a three-week marathon binge (four seasons in less than three weeks - woot!). This summer's foray wasn't the first time I tried to get into the gun-running biker gang drama, but this time it took, and I'm a happier TV watcher for it. 

Like all other "Sons of Anarchy" fans, I'm really excited about Season 5, which starts tonight at 10 on FX. My dream, if creator Kurt Sutter is listening, is that evil bastard Clay (Ron Perlman) finally get what he deserves.

Okay, on to business. . . .

 Our "Lost" blogger Luci Chavez on last night's episode...

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the gang all back together in this Hurley-centric episode. But the Tryon Road Council of One is still deliberating the wisdom of Hugo taking a leadership role in this nasty conundrum we know as Lost.

The big shibiznit is coming and it's going to be bloody. There will come a time when someone needs to straight-up shoot someone or bash someone in the head with a gun or a boot or a tree branch. Hurley, God love him, isn't THAT guy.

This makes me so nervous for the end, and by the end, I mean five episodes from now.

SPOILER ALERT.

We're counting down the days until the Jan. 21 premiere of Lost (ABC, 8 p.m.) by taking a look back at how the season four ended for characters on and off the island.

JAN 6: Michael Dawson (Harold Perrineau, Jr.)

When we last saw Michael ... he was a deckhand on the freighter, going undercover as Kevin Johnson, to destroy it.
