I remember when that came out. IIRC it premiered the same night of one of the Bush v Gore debates. I was so hyped for it, but it was pretty bad

I liked the first episode a lot. There's a lot which has been done and done again in other TV series since, so it's nice to see where it (maybe) came from. Then I hit up the wiki to see how much of the show actually is out there, available. Am I in for 4 seasons, or 5? It turns out, 2 seasons. And then it appears to have had some continuation in novel/prose form. And there's a space virus and a group that's the illuminati but not... WTF? There are so many interesting ways to take it, but apparently Cameron's co-writer wasn't on the same page.

2 Broke Girls has promise. I can see that surviving into a second season.

I bet this could be pretty good on HBO or even AMC. But especially HBO

looks like a Mad Men cash in or something though

It's terribad. I have it for five episodes before cancellation in my fall TV death pool.

The whole episode was LOLOLOL ASIAN STEROTYPE. LOLOLOL BLACK STEROTYPE. Oh man it's a rich white girl having to work for a living...what if she breaks a nail?

And insert a laugh track every other line.

No that at least doesn't have a laugh track I think. I watched 2 broke girls pilot on demand. Typical painfully bad CBS sitcom.

Watched another couple episodes of Dark Angel... just noticing that Jessica Alba cannot act. I think I was distracted by 'dat face. But this cannot go on.

Marathoning Louie season 1. Shit`s fantastic.

etiolate · « **Reply #3016 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:47:24 AM »

Watched a handful of premiers because this is the shit I look forward to when I am not writing oh dear god

Raising Hope - Really good episode. The TV medical advice gag was ace. The resolution of Jimmy's talents was fun and felt like a real life explanation.

New Girl - As said earlier, eep. It got two smirks out of me. It suffers from all the normal pitfalls. Everyone is pretty and can afford a nice place to live while having rather ordinary jobs. Also, I'm supposed to buy that Zooey has trouble with men. Right.

Modern Family - Real disappointing. Feels like they are mailing it in and the second episode felt like an overused sitcom plot that was not freshened up enough in this recycling. Characters are stereotypes of themselves. Everything feels too forced. Phil is the one redeeming factor.

Archer - I like the way they balance Archer's idiocy with his super spy awesomeness. Also, bearded Archer was awesome.

I liked the new Community, though it never really had me on the floor.

I've liked the Office alot more than everyone who's been bitching and moaning about it for seemingly forever, but this one did nothing for me unfortunately.

Decided to give it a shot last night and was pleasantly surprised. Great first ep. It reminds me of Gormenghast a bit with its focus on the servants of a noble family and scheming and back stabbing.

Is this the last season? I hope so I want some awesome closure

One more, there are exactly 15 episodes left (2 more this season). This season really does feel like the final one though. I can't see another arc after this.

About the episode that just aired. Perfect TV. That ending gave me chills.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3045 on:** September 26, 2011, 02:21:08 AM »

Community was bitter tears of disappointment after the godly 2nd season. All that stuff about Abed looking for a new favorite show was just asking for trouble

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3047 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:44:53 AM »

I was always worried about when Community would become too meta for it's own good. I thought the Xmas episode would be it but apparently not $:-\$

Am I the only one excited for the new show with Kevin Dillon, Dave Foley and Rhys Darby?

I know it will be terrible but I want to see more Dave Foley

also, GIVE ANNA GUNN AN EMMY. she's killing it this season.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #3056 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:50:24 PM »

From what I remember of Season 3 it felt very "in between". Crossing over between the small scale stuff to where we are now, not really allowing the really big moments to happen (other than that infamous Hank scene). But now that it really feels like its wrapping up, it's fucking amazing. I'm left wondering if they can really pull off closing out the series satisfyingly with 15 or so more episodes left. "Crawl Space" really did feel like the second to last episode in the series.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #3057 on:** September 28, 2011, 09:04:41 PM »

Season four has the wild, out of control spiral feel that made the first two seasons incredible. Everything just constantly feels like it's on the brink of a total nuclear meltdown. Season three just kinda felt like it had no momentum to it until the last few episodes.
