The TV thread

Yeah. I really liked the final season. I wouldn't hate it if they brought it back as a movie, although I'm sure a lot of people would go apeshit about it.

 

Did anyone watch the David Blaine special last night? I would not consider myself a fan, but I was intrigued by one of his appearances to promote it and watched it. Pretty crazy stuff and fun to watch celebrities react to it.

 

Apparently, Dads and The Mindy Project will be on hiatus for two months. Neither has been canceled, but hardly a good sign for either show.

 

Whole lot of great support FOX had surrounding "New Girl." I've never seen the appeal of Mindy Kaling. If she's not playing a spoiled brat (her previous show), she's playing someone who covers up being a spoiled brat just a little bit better (her current show).

My god, they wouldn't bring back that thing with Don Johnson's daughter and that goof, would they?

 

Have a new guilty pleasure, "Extreme Cheapskates" on TLC.

These people are crazy in their efforts to save a penny, although I wonder if some is exaggerated for the cameras.

Ben and Kate was CRIMINALLY underrated. That show was amazing.

And I like Mindy Project a lot too.

 

Finally caught up with Wednesday's Modern Family and I've reached the point where I have to ask: Why the hell does Cam stay with Mitchell? Does that stuck-up little bastard have one redeeming quality? If he was playing straight and was the same way I'd wonder why his wife/girlfriend hadn't left a long time ago.

 

The whole Fox hiatus thing is pretty common...they have a very odd schedule (at least to me) for a network.

Apparently, she's going to be the lead in 50 Shades of Grey, so she probably doesn't have time for sitcom work anymore.

 

Well, it wasn't Dakota Johnson's fault that her sitcom was a bomb (and it was, ijag )

The guy, her brother, made my stomach turn.

Came home Wednesday night and realized I'd taped "The Middle" over "Modern Family." Then I realized I'd done it on purpose. To me, "Modern Family" has lost its fastball.

 

At times it is way too forced, other times (like when the characters learn new things about their SOs) it works quite well. The episode on being late for the dinner was perfect.

 

The couple that are having a kid aren't cheapskates, they are practical and I salute them for living within their means.

 

I haven't watched "Family Guy" in a while, but this really surprised me: They killed off the Brian Griffin character.

Much of the fanbase is not pleased:
