The TV thread

There's a thread discussing it.

 

Have been catching up with House of Cards. I'm through six episodes and can't get enough of it.

 

Watched that over the summer. Loved it.

 

I didn't have a problem with casting Tracy Pollan at all. But when he went up to her apartment and met her he should have helped her with a book shelf that then falls down.

 

The pacing of Michael J Fox's show is exhausting. Not sure if I can stomach another episode.

I fully expect to see Christopher Lloyd or Thomas Wilson (Biff) make cameos when this is treading water later in the season.

 

CBS' Hostages pilot is being shown again tonight at 8 central (9 eastern) for those who may have missed the original showing earlier this week.

 

I taped it, but I've decided I'm not going to start watching it. There's too much other good stuff.

 

If they resort to Skippy getting a guest shot, it's probably not getting a second season.

 

I also quite liked it. I loved that they showed the blooper at the end where Kelly Clarkson couldn't make it through their spitballing McDonald's jingle. I was DYING watching that. I wonder how much of it was scripted and how much of it was Robin Williams and James Wolk improvising.

 

Watched the Michael J. Fox show on demand. Glad they slowed down the pace of the pilot a bit in the second one, but it's still a bit too manic. The timing is off.

 

Initially I was excited about Michael J. Fox returning. Then I realized how dumb that is. There are plenty of able-bodied actors out there. Even a Parkinson's patient probably is better portrayed by someone without a debilitating disease.

 

I'm about two-thirds of the way through The Goldbergs. Is there a single character on this show we're supposed to like?
