The AV Club's done the same thing for season three of Parks and Rec, too. It's awesome.

So, 2 Broke Girls. It's not very good but I'll probably end up watching one or two more episodes before I write it off since Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs at least seem to have some decent chemistry. Supporting cast is awwwwful, though and has a formula of "Garrett Morris hamming it up + characters who are awful racial stereotypes = hilarity???"

But Christ, it tries so hard to be hip and is so clearly written by 40 year-olds.

Thanks for the heads up. It was a good read too.

So, third season of Modern Family starts tonight for you US guys, right? Anyone watching? Fuck, I can't wait

[fr34k]

Yes. Two episodes even!

[Benjamin]

And in what, three, four days? Boardwalk Empire! I like this week, it's a good week to be on holiday

[Animal]

Anyone catch the second season premiere of Workaholics? I thought it was glorious! Adam might be my favourite character on TV right now (well tied with Mac).

The first kid on the Tosh.0 Tweet n' Greet went to my High School. That's pretty crazy.

I've grown into a big fan of Alphas within the past couple weeks. Started off pretty rocky but it's gotten really good, the abilities of the alphas aren't over the top and have drawbacks, the characters work well together and theres a least a couple of lines every week that make me crack up. Overall it's a fun show that doesn't really take itself too seriously and I'm suprised that the Syfy channel has been slowly bringing together a really good group of TV shows.

The Killing, worth watching? I series linked it, forgot about it, and now I've 12ish episodes to watch...

I believe MPH and TGC liked it so maybe they can defend it, but I lost interest a few episodes in and dropped it like a bad habit. It was pretty much savaged by critics after a certain point too, especially the season finale.

Watch the first episode.

If, after watching the first episode, you expect things to be anywhere remotely near that quality the rest of the way, drop it right away.

If, after watching the first episode, you're OK with a huge decline in quality but still something better than any procedural out there, keep it up.

So kind of like Boardwalk Empire? Great first episode, followed by a bunch of episodes that really don't go anywhere?

...Seriously?

Argh. Just watched the Sarah Connor Chronicles finale again. Why the fuck did that show have to be cancelled? The series two finale ends on probably the best group of cliffhangers I've ever seen.

That's really not that unpopular an opinion.

Modern Family was easily the best season premiere so far when it comes to comedy. Hilarious, I barely stopped laughing.

New Girl... is bad, but mostly because the guys she lives with are complete dicks and painfully unfunny. They have a 'douchebag jar' and I can't help but feel like the main guy needs to put money in it every time he opens his mouth.

I think that's kinda the point...

I think he meant the other guy who is OBVIOUSLY gonna end up with the girl. At least, in my mind, he is the main guy.

But overall, I actually enjoyed the show

I watched Person of Interest and I can't tell if it has 'it' or if it will just be another cookie cutter crime drama.
