The TV thread

Every episode with Catherine is gold. Her first appearance, in the episode named after her, might be the funniest TV episode I've seen in the past year. (I didn't start watching Veep right away because I didn't have HBO.)

 

Hahahaha me too, and then you get the "Live TV" notification in the upper right of the screen. Feels a little deflating.

 

You probably weren't the intended audience for 'Love, American Style' either.
Whic was the show that first introduced audiences to 'Happy Days.'

 

Yeah, that was an unusual scheduling choice considering the earlier hours on that schedule. But, in hindsight, that show is a lot more tame than people seemed to think back then. As you mention, "Love and the Happy Days" was one of the features, and no one ever said Happy Days was too racy.

Completely coincidental, I had no idea the theme song was done by The Cowsills until my recent bout with listening to their music and buying their greatest hits on iTunes.

 

Anyone here catch Graceland last week? Thought it was a pretty solid debut and tonight's episode looks just as good.

 

I liked it. I hope they don't get too wrapped up in "what happened" to Daniel Sunjata's character when he was on leave. I could see that getting old quickly, but I'll definitely keep watching...

 

Shocker. King and Maxwell (on TNT) sucked. I made it through the first two segments before switching it off. Makes me hesitant to watch Major Crimes.

 

I loved The Closer. I watched two episodes of Major Crimes and it just wasn't on the same level as The Closer.

 

The median age of a viewer of Blue Bloods is 64, and I'll bet it's not much younger for Undercover Boss. That's why Friday night is the graveyard. It's not that programs can't get good ratings, it's that advertisers won't pay premium rates for audiences composed of old people. Nobody else watches TV on Fridays.

 

Watched the first two episodes of Family Tree on HBO and I'm hooked. My type of sarcastic humor.

 

This past one might be my favorite. It's a very, very well-made show.

 

And for those of you on the fence about Family Tree, there's a very good chance Fred Willard will be on either this week or next week. If that doesn't convince you, then what are you doing even considering a Christopher Guest mockumentary?
