Well, Trollied is just fucking brilliant, isn't it?

Can't wait for the Christmas special!

Kristen Schaal's writing and starring in a new show for ABC

[livid]

Oh look, another Seth MacFarlane animated series on Fox that will feature a lot of racism.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Holy shit, it has a kind of slightly different animation style from all the rest of them.

Does anyone else watch Hello Ladies on HBO? Great, great show.

[Benji]

Yeah, it took a few episodes to find it's sweet spot, but episodes three and four were great.

[Benji]

Grey's Anatomy is such a stupidly unrealistic show... so why can't I stop watching it?

[Benjamin]

I know I say this often, but holy shit guys this week's Boardwalk.

[Josh]

Boardwalk really is on a roll. Depending on how it wraps up, this may be its best season yet.

[livid]

So I finally caught up on Elementary. The monologue that started the latest episode is just fantastic and it's a shame that Jonny Lee Miller probably won't be getting an Emmy for his work any time soon.

Marvel is eyeing Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) to write their Daredevil series on Netflix.

[Maxx]

A very good idea!

[TKz]

For anyone that doesn't know, he also wrote a bunch of Buffy, Angel and some episodes of Lost. So, yeah, he's fucking good by me. Really hoping Daredevil can retain some of the darker elements of the comics. I don't really want full on grit, but around Arrow levels of dark would be probably the perfect fit. We've seen what happens when you go a bit too light. >_>

Also the Daredevil show makes me super bummed out that Michael Clarke Duncan isn't around to be Kingpin again. That was some inspired casting that totally paid off.

[Lint]

I remember some outrage at the time and lots of "Kingpin isn't black!" posts

Seemed to work out well to me

[GoGo Yubari]

Apparently Melissa Rosenberg is attached to write/produce the Jessica Jones show. She wrote the Twilight movies which I'm sure is exciting to precisely nobody on EWB, but she was also a writer and eventually the showrunner on the first four seasons of Dexter before she left to presumably spend all her time trying to make sense out of the plot of Twilight. She was also involved in the previous attempt to make a Jessica Jones show for ABC.

[tristy]

Well, at least it was the first four seasons of Dexter, and not the last four.

starting to get back into boardwalk empire after watching the past few weeks and wow... this show has really transformed. I used to watch it at the beginning and lost interest, but the past few weeks have been real good. I don't have seasons 1 or 2 yet, but I have season 3 on demand, so I have been watching that. It really is a good show.

Season one is okay, but nothing amazing when you get past the "cool era" feeling, season two has sparks of brilliance but isn't consistent, season three is just phen-fucking-omenal. I've not watched season four yet because I like to marathon the seasons, but from what I hear it's the best yet.

The creators of Homeland and Heroes will team-up for a show on USA that will have a tremendous first season but be incredibly disappointing after that.

[Benji]

It will be sure to feature a teenage girl who's a highlight of the first season but winds up the most annoying and tedious part of the show!
