Have you heard of this FX show called Justified? I don't know, I've heard it's pretty good.

Question actually..Justified or SOA?

Everything this week is overshadowed by Agents of SHIELD.

Question actually..Justified or SOA?

First couple seasons of SoA are good, 1-4 or so. Starts to flag after that, but I'm still sticking with it because why not.

Justified. Season 1 is good but Season 2 and on is just terrific.

SOA is incredibly overrated.

I vaguely recall you mentioning something about that.

I watched the first season of American Horror story this past month. I didn't really liiiiiiike it...but I couldn't stop watching. I should probably keep going, yes?

Also, I watched the first few episodes of United States of Tara today. That's so good.

AHS is interesting like that, it's an awful show, but impossible to not watch.

How I Met Your Mother premiere was very cute. The Marshall story is going to drag the season down, but I think overall it will be the proper sendoff the show deserves.

Anybody read this? It's really entertaining.

Watch Justified, not SoA, because the first two seasons of both shows are very good but I can confirm that SoA has gotten pretty bad and I cannot confirm any such decline in quality from Justified.

I really have missed Castle and so happy it is back

AHS is interesting like that, it's an awful show, but impossible to not watch.

It's basically a prime example of a Ryan Murphy show. See also: Glee and Nip/Tuck. It's colourful and gaudy but with very little depth.

[GoGo Yubari]

It's why I straight-up didn't bother watching a minute of AHS. I can't do that to myself anymore. I'm still not over my unfortunate Glee addiction.

So, Blacklist and Hostages. Worth the watch for when I get home?

[zero]

I was excited for Hostages when I found out it was only 15 episodes and because I love Toni Collette, but then I remembered CBS is a terrible network. I dunno what it is about CBS, what influence they have over producers and writers, but the vast majority of the shows on that network just have that CBS "feel" to them. Great premises, good casts, atrocious execution. I thought Under the Dome would be their saving grace since it would have a clear-cut end point as an "event series" (hate that phrase), but they fucked that up too.

Maybe this is my own personal neurosis, but there's just something about the look and feel of CBS shows that keeps me from enjoying them.

Person Of Interest is back tonight isn't it?

Elementary is the key to changing that opinion. At least for one show on the network.

Oh, so I tried to watch Mom last night because I have a soft spot for Anna Faris and I want to try and give a handful of new shows a chance. I think there's a good sitcom in there but it's being drowned out by some of the worst laugh track mixing I've ever heard. It's just relentless and totally drowns out the rhythm of the scenes.

Tonight, Agents of SHIELD and Trophy Wife. The next couple days, WHO KNOWS.

Didn't you learn anything last week?

[LL!]

So, The Blacklist pilot wasn't all that. Megan Boone is just so not working as the character she's supposed to portray. But I'll stick to it just because of James Spader.
