Amph I am addicted to television.

My favorite Better Off Ted episode is still the one where they replace the sensors in the building.

That and Jabberwocky are my two favorites.

 

Agreed. It's honestly been a while since I saw the pilot, but it's not exactly fair to judge a show by the pilot. But I mean, no show is for everyone, and certainly not with comedies. On the whole, though, I seriously think Better Off Ted is the funniest show of the last couple years, yes. Perhaps it did take a while to get rolling, but I don't recall. Personally I really loved it.

But yes, the racial sensitivity episode was probably the one that really 'sold' the show to viewers. Personally I just watched a good portion of season 2 again this week and remembered how dearly I love it.

Oh god - Modern Family season premier - so goooood tonight. Laughed and giggled and laughed again.

Community premier, can you do even better?

 

Tonight, I had the difficult task of deciding whether to watch the season premiere of Fringe, The Office or The Big Bang Theory at 9PM. Why must Fox, CBS and NBC do this to me???

*Quickly clicks on another thread before someone mentions TiVo*

 

Word. Community probably eeks out Modern Family in the straight up comedy realm. Modern Family is a more balanced show overall, but for comedy alone, Community is the funniest show on TV right now.

The How I Met Your Mother premiere was really good, though. I'm hoping this means they'll rebound this season as last season was very lackluster. Because at it's best, that show is the best overall, balanced comedy on TV. But there are a number that it's in good company with.

On the JP season premier laughometer

1. Modern Family
2. Community
3. 30 Rock


Was close between Family & Community. Betty White = win, and the closing vignette was awesome. And I loved the dig at "$#!+ My Dad Says"

Speaking of which, did anyone watch "$#!+ My Dad Says". I do love the Shat, but I've heard this show is crap?

 

so they announced the new american idol judges and apparently the response was a resounding "meh".

yeah, j. lo and steven tyler along with randy jackson who is the only returning judge. guess that's about it for this show. it had a good run.

 

The only weak show on NBC Thursday was Outsourced. I want Parks and Rec.

 

Anyone see HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire'? Can Steve Buscemi carry off a staring role week in, week out?

 

I have it on demand. I'm planning to watch this weekend.

 

I have it on my DVR, and plan on watching it sometime today.

Looking forward to both your thoughts...

 

Same here.


$h*! My Dad Says looked really awful, even though I love Shatner.

I know!

 

Has anybody here watched Eastbound & Down? Caught an episode from season 1 on HBO a couple of nights ago, and it was highly entertaining (season 2 premiers this Sunday).

Is Betty White on for the whole Community season or was it just the premier stunt casting? (Please be the former)

 

She's a recurring character. So... in-between the two.

 

Just finished the premiere episode of Boardwalk Empire..................it was riveting television. It started a bit slow, though, but picked up after the first 20 minutes. The costume/set design are quite excellent, as you feel you're right in the middle of 1920's Atlantic City. Performances all around were quite good, especially by Stephen Graham (who plays Al Capone) and Buscemi (who does a fine job of portraying Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, a man who has a soft side, to go along with corrupt/gangster dealing side). There's a midget boxing match that's briefly shown (which I got a kick out of), and without giving anything away, Capone isn't there for no good reason. I can't wait to see how the rest of this season plays out.

I liked Boardwalk Empire. I wasn't like freaking out about it, but it looked promising and I'm looking forward to future episodes. Great dramas usually have to "grow on me". Time will tell.

Buscemi was great as always.

 

Thanks (even though I know you weren't directing that comment at me).

How did Treme end up? Is it still going?
