So...am I going to have to be the one who informs Eddie about the existence of porn?

[GoGo Yubari]

Jesus. Tonight's Boardwalk is exceptional and it's not even done yet. What a fucking scene halfway through.

[Benji]

Is it the one where...

... Lucy goes to throw herself down the stairs?

If so, I loved that episode. Certainly one of the more personal episodes, and her development as a character has been the highlight of the entire show so far.

Once Upon A Time seems like an interesting show to say the least, but the main thing I wanted to post was I THINK the actor who played Gus in Breaking Bad is going to be in this show. I couldnt really tell since they only showed the guy for a second during the "this season..." part after the show had ended, but Im pretty sure it was him.

Oh, that's a good episode but not the most recent anymore. And I love any time Eddie Cantor shows up, especially having him show up in a scene that isn't just "and here's Eddie Cantor to perform!"

Yep, Giancarlo Esposito's slated to be in Once Upon A Time.

Was it actually any good? Looked a bit cheesy to me. I'm interested in the other one, Grimm, mostly because judging by the audience it'll be aiming for, it'll either fail and disappear in a few weeks, or it'll be a fun Supernatural copy that's a bit lighter on the brooding.

It wasnt BAD. Im not sure how good a show can get when the focus is having fairy tale characters brought to the 'real world'. Ill watch a few more episodes to see if things get any more interesting.

I think I should just stop watching new shows and wait for them to come to Netflix/wait for the first season to be over. I seem to better judge whether I like a show if I can speedrun through several episodes as opposed to having to wait a week for another new episode.

I haven't watched the first episode yet, but there's a number of Lost references... so it has that going for it.

[Lineker]

Anybody else watching this mummification programme on 4?

[Summers]

Watching Falling Skies. Never seen it before. I'm on episode 4. It's started well. I like Noah Wyle, so that's a bonus. My mom - who has seen it all - said it tales off as it goes on, but so far it's still good. Interested in where things are going.

[Benji]

I've got that recorded. I had high hopes, since it was Spielberg produced. I've since watched Terra Nova and remembered that Spielberg isn't actually that good

[Colly]

I enjoyed Falling Skies, really similar feel to the Walking Dead in terms of ensemble cast, some of the characters and the general look of it which put me off at first (I like TWD, it just seemed samey). It grew on me as it went on though, I was gripped at the end, and then it ended.

[Summers]

I agree on the Walking Dead comment. Definitely got the same feel.

[Benji]

It's getting a second series, isn't it? I read that originally it was going to just be a 10 part series, but I think Wiki said they were going to follow up.

[apsham]

I'm currently catching up on season 2 of Bored To Death so I can hopefully get into season 3 while it's running.

I love the show, it's just hard for me to watch one episode after another.

If not I'm not happy, Heroes, V, Flash Forward and the Event have all annoyed me enough recently.

[Summers]

Just finished Falling Skies. I loved it. Great ending, and with a second season coming in the Summer of '12 it'll be interesting to see where it picks up.

[thatblindgeye]

I think it is safe to say Last Man Standing is the Home Improvement of 2011. Tim Allen playing a character who rants/tries to say 'manly' things in front of a camera, working for a place catered to men, and trying to be 100% man manly man-man.

The daughters and the mom are hot, though, especially after this Halloween episode.

Tim Allen on my TV. I'm sold.
