Not sure anyone else was watching it, but Uncle got picked up for a second series by BBC. I suggest watching it, funny and sometimes touching six episode comedy.

I found Uncle so meh. I only watched the first two, as I found it only moderately funny and a bit average.

Bad Education has set the bar too high for BBC3 comedies!

[Benji]

Still need to watch that. I always think I dislike Jack Whitehall but I do actually find him amusing.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Inside No. 9 is seriously incredible, another brilliant episode tonight.

One of the best written shows I've seen in ages.

The Supernatural spinoff is already more racially diverse than its predecessor and it hasn't even been filmed yet.

At least it looks like they're not just repeating the same formula but with different characters. That said, it also looks like they essentially lifted the plot of The Originals and changed the location.

[Benji]

The halloween episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is stupendous.

"Chuck Season 3 was great! I can't remember anything topping Shaw..."

"Oh, right, Timothy Dalton is the villain for Season 4..."

[livid]

Yeah but Season 4 sucks.

[TKz]

Doesn't matter if it sucks, it has Timothy Dalton, Linda Hamilton, Batista, Dolph Lundgren, Ray Wise and Eric Roberts.

And Lauren Cohan, but I've decided to let that one slide seeing as she's not awful on Walking Dead.

[livid]

NBC has found its Constantine.

Guy is pretty unknown so can't really say too much other than it's slightly surprising as I would have assumed they'd go after a bigger star.

[Benji]

Wait, is that the same Mattew Ryan who voiced Edward in AC4? If so, I dig that casting, at least his oral acting skills, if not his physical mannerisms and presence.

[C-MIL]

Is Under The Dome worth a look or no?

[GoGo Yubari]

Nah.

[Your Mom]

Yeah but Season 4 sucks.

I was marathoning through Chuck but Season 4 stopped that cold. I'll finish someday but it totally killed my enthusiasm

Heroes will return with a 13 episode miniseries in 2015

Hopefully it erases everything after the first half of the first season finale.

[GoGo Yubari]

Tim Kring is still running it, so, uh. Haha. Hahahahahaha.

[Benji]

I'll be glad to see it get closure, but I've got no hopes for it despite the fact I liked the last season.

[Jimmy]

If they can come anywhere close to capturing the magic of Season 1 then it'll be well worth watching.

[livid]

I will admit to being intrigued by the very end of the last season so if they can find a compelling story to tell out of that, I'm on board. We'll see, though.

[TKz]

I don't think a show has ever done a better job at pissing away it's potential than Heroes did. But then it's not like anything else on NBC is pulling in the ratings, so I guess they'll take whatever comes their way now.
