Finished season 3 of Justified.  Awesome.

"Oh shit!  IT'S A PIGGY BANK!!!" is definitely the line reading of the year.  After finding out it wasn't on youtube, I'm working on uploading it now.

Do it, just prepare yourself as it started out kinda slowly (like, the pilot is probably the worst episode)

Black Mirror may be the most brilliant television series I've ever seen.

Never heard of it, but I'm very interested based on the wiki article.

I should note that it would be better to go in without much knowledge of it.  It's pretty mind-blowing.

I went as long as I could without rewatching the DC animated universe shows. Couldn't stand it anymore, so started Batman TAS over again.

I just started watched Transformers: Prime for the first time, and I love it. I've only watched Darkness Rising so far, but it already puts the new movies to shame in terms of dialogue, plot and consistency. I was just expecting another run of the mill CG kid's show.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Looks like an interesting show. I think I will check out the first pilot. Question though, is it meant to be more of a comedy or more drama?

It's definitely funny, and I laughed quite a bit, but it is not sitcommish.  But it's not all the way to a dramedy, either.  It's like the funnier episodes of Louie, if you've seen that.

Dammit, I love Fringe, and I don't think it will get renewed for another season.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

So do I.  I DVR'd last night's show.  Can't wait to see it but I'm afraid like you it's not long for TV.

Moi aussi!

Quite the twist this week.  I just hope it's not like Jericho from a few years ago, where they leave a mother of a cliff-hanger, and then it gets cancelled.  It's the only drama show I watch religiously.

Veep, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and created by Armando Ianucci is premiering tonight.  Given how awesome The Thick of It is, I am very excited for it.

The previews are just awesome.  Man I love the dialogue just in the promo's.  DVR is set.

Sutter's a grade-A asshole.  I don't like him at all, and I'm not a fan of Sons of Anarchy either.

It has been renewed for a final season, thought it will apparently be only 13 episodes. At least that will give the writers a chance to bring the storyline to a proper resolution.  :tup

From what I understand JJ Abrams had intended the fifth season to be the last anyways, so it's cool that it'll get to see the resolution he wanted (at least in part, no sure if he intended only 13 episodes).

I wonder whether JJ Abrams has much creative input on the show.  I imagine most of his job is cashing cheques.

Wasn't that because he was starting production on Mission Impossible 3 though?

I'm happy Fringe will get a proper ending! I need to catch up with this season, I've only seen the first 2 episodes.
