General Television Thread

Correct. Not really sure why but last night's episode was the season finale.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Wait, there are only 9 episodes of the second season of The Newsroom?

Yes. Sorkin had to re-shoot most of the first two episodes so HBO cut the order from 10 to 9 episodes

[livid]

Shit, yeah. I forgot about the re-shoots after Rosemarie DeWitt had to drop out of the role that Marcia Gay Harden was playing.

Shit, yeah. I forgot about the re-shoots after Rosemarie DeWitt had to drop out of the role that Marcia Gay Harden was playing.

It was more about Sorkin saying that he botched he the concurring timelines of the deposition and the stuff when they developed and built the Genoa story and Maggie's Africa stuff.

Sleepy Hollow is ridiculous but it's kinda fun too. Surprised me, even.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Coming from a fan of the book, Under The Dome is less than good. I stopped keeping up with it pretty early on, because it just fell pretty flat.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah I'm considering just dropping it outright. I don't want to because I love me some Dean Norris but the reviews haven't been kind.

[livid]

Yeah I dropped it after the pilot. While that wasn't terrible, I became less interested in it in the days that followed. Then the reviews came and I knew I made the right decision.

So it looks like i am giving The Blacklist a shot.

[GoGo Yubari]

Just watched Jeffrey Wright's first Boardwalk Empire scene. Goddamn.

[Josh]

Yeah, last week's season premiere was kind of a slow start, but they got me back with Sunday's episode.

[apsham]

Key & Peele starts tomorrow. I'm rather hyped as I blasted through season 1 last night with my girlfriend and honestly happy that people pushed the East/West videos.

[Benjamin]

Watched the Newsroom finale. I'm gonna miss it till it comes back

One thing, though, does anybody else feel that Genoa had a whole lot of holes in it?

[GoGo Yubari]

I liked Brooklyn Nine-Nine a lot.

[livid]

I liked Brooklyn Nine-Nine a lot.

Ditto. Very enjoyable.

[EddieG]

Came in here to say that, had me in stitches, especially as I forgot what it was about and I was expecting a serious police drama.

[MalaCloudy Black]

"Captain! Heeeeeey! Welcome to the murder!"

Melissa Fumero is super adorable and Joe Lo Truglio is kind of great. I'm digging Brooklyn Nine-Nine too.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, it was a great half-hour of television. Terry Crews had the best lines, though.

Also, Boardwalk Empire was pretty damn good. I'm thrilled Chalky and Eddie are getting more prominent roles, they're two of my favourites, and the new villains popping up are super fun, too.

[EddieG]

Terry Crews in being awesome shocker.

Dads was pretty fun too, started off fun, then kinda toned down the humor in the second half, but still good.

[livid]

Dads was pretty fun too, started off fun, then kinda toned down the humor in the second half, but still good.

This is not the correct response.Seriously, I have a high tolerance for TV and will watch most things but Dads was bad. So very, very bad.

And this is coming from a huge Giovanni Ribisi fan who, at one point, was glad to hear about the show simply because it meant steady work for him.
