Really, Firefly is more or less what I'm looking for, but I have already seen it and don't feel like watching it again at the moment. Chuck and Psych seem like they could suit my standards, I've heard of them but never really looked into them. I'll check up on the others. Thanks.

Sometimes wish I'd never seen Firefly so I could see it all again for the first time.

I feel the same way. And for a lot of other shows. And video games.

[Benji]

Imagine playing FFVII and not knowing that Aeris was going to die.

So many feels.

[livid]

I don't know why Dean's crying though. His show will be on for FOREVER.

This is turning out to be the truth since it was renewed for another season today. Arrow and The Vampire Diaries were also renewed, shocking absolutely nobody.

Glad at least one new show I've liked this season got renewed.

[TKz]

Remember when people were worried it wouldn't get renewed? It's weird to miss that.

[livid]

Yeah it is. It's crazy how the ratings actually seem to be getting better. The fact that they moved it away from Friday helped (and pairing it with Arrow which is quickly becoming the network's flagship show) but still, a show shouldn't be getting stronger, ratings-wise, this far into the series.

[livid]

ABC moves Happy Endings to Fridays, pretty much signalling the end of the series after they burn off the episodes.

[Benji]

Watched Friday Night Lights season 3 whilst I was laid up by disease. Great season, much better than season 2 was. I think I've discovered the secret to the Panthers victories though...

They stopped saying "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose", and whenever they don't do that, they lose

Brilliantly written season that served as a great ending for some characters, a great start for others, and yet still managed to have a really good self-contained story.

[TKz]

Happy Endings being nearly dead doesn't get much from me. I've found the show to be horrible average for a long while now. I don't think I've laughed once at it in a long time.

[livid]

That's because you are dead inside.

[LL!]

Fuck you, TheKazarian. Go cuddle up with shit like Supernatural!

[TKz]

I haven't watched any of that in ages either! I'm sorry. I blame Penny entirely. Least likeable character of all time.

[livid]

That is categorically untrue.

Does the name Tara ring a bell?

[TKz]

That is categorically untrue.

From Buffy or True Blood? I'd argue the Buffy one was just boring. True Blood though... alright, you got me there. I'll narrow it down to least likeable character in a comedy show.

[livid]

Of course the one from True Blood. I haven't gotten around to re-watching Buffy since I used to watch it when I was younger.

Also, I could refute that claim too but it's pointless. You're not worth my time!

[Baddar]

Tara was far more tolerable in the most recent season of TB.

[Josh]

Dean Norris will be the lead in Under The Dome.

I don't really follow that project, but seeing Norris get fairly high-profile work is awesome. He totally deserves it.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I could totally see Dean Norris playing Big Jim. Kind of funny though.

Under The Dome book spoilers ahoy!:

Big Jim's initially presented as a used car dealership owner and a town selectman, but underneath all that he's a power-mad asshole who runs the largest meth lab on the east coast.

Curious as to who gets cast as Barbie, though.

EDIT: Mike Vogel. He definitely looks the part of Barbie.

Small Elementary spoiler, but an alum from The Wire shows up on this week's episode.

It was a great episode too. Man, the show is really starting to hit it's stride!

In unrelated news, I don't like to comment on Pilot casting too much but Kyle Chandler! It's about time. It's cool he's been doing some great movies but not with big enough parts!
