The Neighbors

WTF were they on when they greenlit that shit?

Jesus Garb. I would think you could tell it was horrible from ads for it.

I don't have tv so I don't see show ads. :P

Seriously though, how does something like that get air time?

Week two of revolution  and we already have a mystery bad guy and a resurrection. Bored with this show already.

Finished watchign Political Animals with Sigourney Weaver playing Hilary Clin Secretary of State. It was alright. Could have been cut down into four episodes from six. But watchable for the most part.

First episode of Last Resort.

Excellent and very credible plot, very deep tv show with lots of unexpected twists.  Excellent acting, especially the pretty girl on the island who spoke one line during the entire hour.

To quote someone:
Quoteit is dumb.

I'll give it a chance.  I'll watch it one more week.

I have yet to watch what could be my final episode of World Without End.

Show's can be dumb and entertaining.  I just don't know that this one has any staying power. 
PDH!

Caught the last fifteen minutes of CBS' Sherlock Holmes knockoff last night.

Unimpressive. Poorly cast Sherlock Holmes; guy looks like a bad bartender. I can buy a female Watson (especially Lucy Liu  :perv:), but the two don't seem to have any chemistry. Definitely not the type of energy like between Cumberbatch and Freeman.

I didn't see the whole show so I can't really speak to the story or the case.

Lucy Liu is enough reason to avoid that show.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Interesting enough that I'll follow it, but I feel it will be like Terra Nova.

And speaking of dinosaurs, if you want to see more of the island girl, check out...

I can just see the scene in the TV Producer's Boardroom:

"Yeah, we like us some US version of Sherlock. But that Sherlock-Watson stuff is too fruity for the US audience. I mean, what are they, queer or something?  :hmm: Wait, I know - make Watson a hott chick! Pure genius!  :smarty: "

I like Downey and Law and their FX budget.

Tosh's new animated show on Comedy Central, Brickleberry, is pretty fucking funny.  It's not South Park, but it's funny and better than some of that other animation they've tossed around before. 
I think Ed would appreciate it.
