The TV thread

And it still manages to be funny.

 

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actually is getting pretty good, though I wish I had known they were going to spoil Captain America: The Winter Soldier this week.

 

Perhaps Archie Andrews can be resurrected as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., since he's now a superhero.

 

I refuse to go back to 'SHIELD.'
It infuriates me when shows stick repeats into the middle of seasons, and 'SHIELD' did it a lot.

 

SNL must absolutely infuriate you ...

 

S.H.I.E.L.D. agents rarely are superheroes.

 

SNL has had the same format for 20+ years at least where it's 3 on and 1 off and there are additional weeks off if it's a holiday or something like that.

 

Every show used to do that in the prehistoric days of television when everyone watched one of three networks.

 

On Parks and Rec last night, the title of the fake country song -- "Beautiful Like My Mom (Support the Troops)" might be the funniest thing I've heard on TV this year.

 

Did not see this so far, but here is the rundown on all shows on the four nets in terms of renewals, cancellations, on the bubble, etc. Hope this is no D-B here.

Thanks.

Pretty good decisions. Only things I don't like are Nashville and Super Fun Night -- silly but engaging fun -- being on the wrong side of the borderline. And I don't see how Growing Up Fisher might last another season.

Raising Hope started out strong but petered out about the time the lead character landed the girl.

 

The only show I watch that is on Not looking good or worse is Trophy Wife.
