Oh yeah, definitely. Justified's season finale was fucking awesome and makes the season completely worth it, despite how slow and plodding it could get.

[Olive the other Jiberdeer]

So, I watched an episode of Hoarders. I am going to have nightmares.

[Hewey]

I agree with the love for Justified. It was a show I wasn't expecting much from, but it really turned out to be a really solid show. The season finale was great. And enough can't be said about Walton Goggins, The man has been amazing on Justified.

[Skummy]

fucking Richard Bacon being hilariously dark.

You ever listened to him on 6Music? The man's a comic genius.

Since I finally found a decent place to watch Angel, so I'm making my way through that right now. A couple of episodes into the fourth season right now, tis awesome. Anyways, has anyone watched Treme? That seems like the next show on my list right now.

Finally gotten around to seeing the trailer for Friends With Benefits and wow, Ryan Hansen looks like he may actually be able to hold the show on his own. He's got a lot more range than I expected. My only worry is that it'll run it's course very quickly. It looks like it should be a film, not a TV series and it's fairly obvious that the friends will end up together.

Also, Fran Kranz sighting! For the longest time that guy was the one interesting thing about Dollhouse.

[Jimmy]

Summed it perfectly. That looks like it should be a film. But I'll give it a chance. I loved the guy from Dollhouse and Ryan Hansen's won me over in Party Down. But with this and Adam Scott's part in P&R, I take it there's no 3rd Party Down Season.

[TKz]

Don't act like you wouldn't watch it and just pretend it's the Bill Haverchuck Show.

[Jimmy]

The what now?

[TKz]

The what now?

Split needs to research his Apatow history and watch Freaks and Geeks.

[GoGo Yubari]

Whether there's a third season yet is pretty much in doubt. Actual Nielsen ratings have been bad, but I imagine the fact that anyone can watch the show online, with Starz sponsoring it, instead of watching it on their network that you have to pay for is a factor.

Also, yeah, anyone in this thread who hasn't watched Freaks and Geeks must do so immediately.

[TKz]

Why?

BECAUSE SHE'S MY LADY... OF THE MORNING~

[Jimmy]

I'll get on that, then.

[Rich]

[livid]

I hate you guys.

I miss Freaks and Geeks.

Undeclared for that matter, as well.

[TKz]

My opinion changes all the time on which of those two was better. Freaks and Geeks had more of a charm to it, but Undeclared got a few more moments of out right laughter from me. Plus the Adam Sandler episode is brilliant.

[GoGo Yubari]

Freaks and Geeks is much better than Undeclared in my opinion, which isn't a knock on Undeclared at all but rather just a testament to how absurdly talented the Freaks and Geeks cast was and how strong the stories were. Undeclared was great, but it didn't have the ability to transition from great comedy to great drama the way Freaks and Geeks did.

[Jimmy]

Sounds pretty good. I'll watch it after I've finished Lost; which I need tp start rewatching. Got Season 2 to complete.
