The TV thread

Shows I've seen every episode of and plan to continue watching:

NBC: Parks and Recreation, Community, Parenthood.
CBS: How I Met Your Mother.
ABC: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Comedy Central: South Park.
FX: Louie, The Americans.
FXX: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League.
HBO: True Detective, Veep, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
AMC: Mad Men, The Walking Dead.
PBS: Sherlock.

The five best are Louie, Mad Men, True Detective, Parks and Recreation and The Americans. But my five favorite are Louie, Community, Parenthood, How I Met Your Mother and South Park.

 

I don't like watching trailers of movies I know I'll see, but I have my ticket already.

 

New Ali G show on FXX is a scam. It's all old British TV skits from 1997-ish. He promised new Borat damn it!

 

There's a "sneak preview" on the 13th in Atlanta. I have my ticket. So ready!

 

I had heard nothing of the show and only stumbled on it last night during the Keyshawn Johnson cameo, but "Mixology" made me laugh quite a bit. Definitely worth another episode. (And the Keyshawn bit was pretty darn good.)

 

I want to adopt all the Braverman siblings and make them my own.

 

Not Sarah.

I'm so done with Hank's mid-life crisis.

 

Continuing to catch up on Peep Show. The final two episodes of season four of it is comedy TV either at its best, or very close to it. David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and Sam Bain are comedic geniuses. They set up episodes using the standard farcical sitcom situations and then subvert them in the end in some of the funniest scenes I've ever seen.

 

Suits is back tonight. Looking forward to it, though I'm a bit tired of having the "ohmygoshsomebodyisabouttodiscoverMike'ssecret" storyline every season.

 

Those two episodes are the pinnacle of the show. Probably the hardest I laughed at TV ever.

 

"Did you need to eat it?"

"I don't know. I keep wondering that. But in the moment, it really did feel like I needed to eat it."

 

I have a hard time distinguishing one episode of The Following from the next. They all look like perfume ads, but with more stabbings.
