In other news, Fox is finally bringing House to an end.

I read that last night. I'm interested in seeing what Hugh will do next.

Supposedly, not another TV show. I heard he's quite homesick. The show is stale and whatnot, but I still watch every week. I'm curious to see how it ends as well.

Also, caught up on the last couple weeks of Justified tonight... Raylan Givens for president.

You bring news to me, even if its clearly on the decline I'd still watch.

Anything less than Stephen Fry pulling him over the Reichenbach Falls will be a disappointment.

This week's Archer was another good one. I spotted George Takei's voice instantly.

So, CBS is developing a new show that follows a modern day Sherlock Holmes in New York City (stop me if this is sounds familiar). Presumably to avoid lawsuits, they're differentiating themselves from Sherlock by casting Johnny Lee Miller as the titular character, who is not Benedict Cumerbatch. He is an English actor currently starring in Danny Boyle's two-man play Frankenstein, along with... Benedict Cumberbatch. One would speculate that to further distance themselves from the BBC's version, they'll cast John Krasinki as Watson.

I started watching Supernatural since it's finally on Netflix. First two episodes were pretty good, but in the pilot, the blatant backstory exposition at the beginning was dumb. I hate that type of dialogue. Then later, Dean puts in a Metallica cassette and it wasn't even them

Now I'm watching Flashforward... It's ok I guess, but what the hell is Seth McFarlane doing on there?

jcmistat · « **Reply #182 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:33:29 PM »

Almost done with Burn Notice Season 5. Bought some imitation Michael Westen glasses pretty good considering the original ones are $500-$600 bucks.

Wait to you get to the real story lines. Hang in, it's a great show.

Louis CK came back to Parks & Rec tonight. I am a happy person.

Indeed.

Next week I suspect will be a Justified crossover/parody. So I'm anticipating the best episode ever.

This is one of the first times I've been really bothered by something like this. Sherlock is one of the best shows out there right now. I feel like there is no way any attempt to recreate it will hold a candle to it.

Yes. YES.

The episode was already going along great, but then when they asked who they were going to bring in to help dispose of the body, I hoped it was going to be Krieger, and then BAM. Krieger.
I think this was one of the funniest episodes of Archer yet. I was laughing the whole way through.

Archer's been renewed for a fourth season.

Yeah to me its completely out of line to do what they're doing.

I didn't think Justified would be able to come back and top season 2 and Mags, but damned if they're not making a good run at it this year.

I love how the villains are just starting to show their dark side.

Still faithful to Fringe. Unfortunately, it is Fox's lowest rated show, so it is only a matter of time before it gets the axe.

Looking forward to Game of Thrones Season 2 beginning April 1.

It is a shame hef. we just watched the episode from last night and I loved how we found out about the traveler September. Fox is going to screw it up.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #198 on:** February 25, 2012, 07:50:29 AM »

They already screwed it up when they moved it to Fridays last season.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #199 on:** February 25, 2012, 07:54:45 AM »

It never did well in the ratings department. They were lucky to get as far as they did.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #200 on:** February 25, 2012, 08:18:07 AM »

It never did GREAT, but Friday at 9 pm is the kiss of death.

Supernatural is really awesome. I wonder if it was shot with HD cameras 'cause it looks freakin' incredible on my HDTV. So incredible that it looks unnatural

And this is streaming on Netflix too!

Dimitrius · « **Reply #203 on:** February 25, 2012, 09:24:59 AM »

Yeah, Supernatural's great! Especially once Castiel becomes part of the cast.

I don't understand the lack of love for Psych.

Is it contrived, forced, completely outrageous? Yes. Fun to watch? Absolutely. The banter between Shawn and Gus is amazing. It's just so damn fun to watch.

Last summer I dedicated two weeks to watching every season of Psych on Hulu Plus. It was quite awesome

If only because Obama mentioned it again, I'd like to remind everybody who has not watched The Wire that they owe it to themselves to do so.

Zantera · « **Reply #209 on:** March 02, 2012, 01:56:36 AM »

I'm currently watching through Arrested Development, what a great show.
First season was particularly awesome, I'm about 8 or 9 episodes into season two now, and it's still pretty fantastic.
