I enjoyed Trophy Wife, but I'm very partial to Whitford. and I do like Ackerman.

I lust for Kal Penn, but I won't watch We Are Men for the O'Connell factor.

 

I'm anxious to see Spader's new role. Think it fits him very well. His "Clarice" looks pretty interesting, too.

 

Yeah, that show looks really good...

 

Interesting how he's evolved from the preppie you most wanted to punch out, to one of the Ten Most Wanted.

 

Spader will never top "Secretary" (I miss Fenian), but I've already set my DVR to record "The Blacklist."

 

Really left flat by the final season and the final episode of 'Dexter.'

 

He seems like the same person, just older... Always liked him as an actor though...

 

I'm about halfway through the season, and only going to finish it because I made it this far. The show has ranged from pedestrian to bad since the end of season 4. I wish I had stopped then. The writing is horrible at times, and the narration continued to get worse and more banal as the series went on. It went from one of my favorite shows to a show I'm basically hatewatching at this point.

 

I wanted to stop watching several times last season, but we stuck it out.
This season was rally just an obligation to see it through.
So many flawed and illogical plot points.

 

Anyone watching CBS' Hostages?

 

I'll check out the Avengers show and Michael J. Fox.
