Really? I heard it was just Kudrow and Le Blanc sharing some screen time together on some show called... Web something, I think?

[GoGo Yubari]

Web Therapy. A lot of the Friends cast members guest on each other's shows.

[Benjamin]

Yeah. That's what I heard on the radio yesterday.

Lol, I read the news Lineker posted and shared it on Twitter and told my friends and got them all excited. Then I read Livid's Tweet and had to break the sad news to them. 'Twas fun

[Ant]

I liked Friends as it was. It had a beginning and an end point and everything culminated great at the end. They should leave it be.

[Benji]

In news that will surprise exactly no-one, The Cleveland Show has been cancelled.

The potential return of Friends and the demise of The Cleveland Show. Today is a good day.

[apsham]

It's about time. That shit went on way, way longer than it had any right to.

Man, the first episode of Arrow was seriously fucking boring.

[Benji]

True that. It gets better. Still not on par with my hopes for a Green Arrow TV show, but it's getting there.

[Ant]

The scenes on the island are awesome. Slade Wilson is the fucking man.

[TKz]

True that. It gets better. Still not on par with my hopes for a Green Arrow TV show, but it's getting there.

I just can't help but think "Why didn't you cast Justin Hartley instead of this plank of wood with abs, though?".

[Ant]

I really need to watch Smallville. Whats putting me off it is people saying it had more bad seasons than good ones.

[Benji]

Bwahaha, yes. Theh've not got Ollie's billionaire playboy charm down, which is by far my biggest gripe. They're getting there, and I suppose it can be attributed to spending so long on that island fighting for his life, bit just doesn't feel like it fits the core of the character without it.

Smallville's first few seasons have a very homey, WB series to them. That said, Season 2 is excellent, and I remember liking most of Season 3. 4 sucks. It has some good stuff like the introduction of Lois Lane and the Flash episode, but the main plot arc SUCKED (Ie. Lana Lang as a fucking witch). Season 5 was one of my favorite seasons, and the same with 9 (Callum Blue as Zod was boss). Seasons6 and 7 had its ups and downs, nothing too special overall, although they were good for the fall of Lex into darkness. Season 8 was potentially the worst season of all, and while Season 10 wasn't overly strong, it was the final season, which helped make every episode a bit better.

Oliver Queen and Lois Lane infinitely help the final seasons, while Lex and Lionel make the other seasons much better. And Papa Kent. I loved him.

[Your Mom]

I would totally finish watching Smallville no matter how awful the last couple seasons were if it was on Netflix

[Monkey D. Lars]

Finished season 1 of the Shield today, amazing series and Walter Goggins is in it as well as the Thing.

[GoGo Yubari]

I actually like Stephen Amell. I agree that he doesn't nail the charming playboy stuff but I think it's believable that he doesn't.

And man, The Shield is quite good. Someday I'm going to rewatch it. I think it'll probably end up being one of the more underrated '00s dramas because it doesn't have the Instant Classic status (rightfully) bestowed upon the likes of The Sopranos, The Wire, and Mad Men.

With lower production quality than most porn, this is bound to be a hit.

[GoGo Yubari]

Wow. That is awful.

[TKz]

All these kind of bad streaming-funded TV shows are getting me a little concerned about Arrested Development.

[GoGo Yubari]

Well, I mean, this is above and beyond. House of Cards is at the very least good enough to be on most networks even though I didn't like it. This is just... gosh.
