I really have liked including Coach back in. They just need to flesh him out because it seems like essentially his backstory was given to Winston. I really wonder why they just didn't recast the Coach role in the first place with Lamont Morris and re-shoot the pilot. Because putting Wayans back into the mix is essentially trying to worm him back into a dynamic where his whole existence had been given to another character and now they are trying to retcon that he's the same level of best friends with everyone else where over the two seasons it had been essentially established that Winston and Nick were best friends in Chicago and they met Schmidt in college. And now it's, "Oh yeah, Coach was there too."

He was originally only signed for four episodes so I'm guessing his original story lines were tailored to give him an out, so hopefully with the news that he's staying on will make things better.

My god, Louis Gossett Jr.'s guest performance on Boardwalk was even better than I hoped.

[Baddar]

Anyone watching the latest season of AHS? I've enjoyed it up to now. Prefer it over the Asylum already, but I don't think anything they do can match the first.

[Benji]

Not enjoying it, the fact they (episode 3? spoilers)

Killed off one of the only two characters I had any interest in was a real letdown. I feel like they've tried to make up for last season's constant movement by slowing down, but they've gone too far the other way. I doubt I'll stop watching because it's my car crash TV, but it's not doing anything for me this year.

[Baddar]

Only seen the first two, so I'll reserve comment til I watch the 3rd.

[Baddar]

Just watched it. Don't worry Benj, pretty sure Emma Roberts is in it for the entire season!

[livid]

I like Almost Human. From what it looks like, it's going to have a decent serialized element so even if it falls into procedural territory, it shouldn't be any worse than Elementary.

[Benjamin]

I thought it was really well done. Michael Ealy and Karl Urban seem to have fantastic chemistry together, really enjoyed their scenes.

[Lint]

Yea, watching the 2nd episode now and think its a pretty good show...

Though I do have a man crush on Karl Urban

[TKz]

Yeah, I ended up finally watching the first episode and it was pretty great! Don't care all that much about the overall story yet, though. But man, I could watch Karl Urban being grumpy all day every day.

So, How I Met Your Father is actually happening.

[Benji]

So did Joey. I doubt it'll make it through it's second season.

[livid]

It's not that surprising. There was gonna be at least a pilot made. I'm not fond of it but the creative team has too good a pedigree to completely dismiss it. Will depend on the cast, though.

[Benjamin]

So did Joey. I doubt it'll make it through it's second season.

Joey made through it's second season! I have them both in full!

[Benji]

So do I, what I mean is that it didn't make it to air though, they cut the second season short and I don't think they ever aired it in the US.

[livid]

Since it's not really a direct spinoff (really just tweaking the same premise), I think it could have a longer shelf life than something like Joey. If it gets picked up, I would imagine it'll be around for a few seasons.
