I don't really dig The Office or P&R... strangely enough I do like pretty much all of the actors involved in both shows, though. Family Guy doesn't hold my attention anymore for some reason. Never heard of Happy Endings. Jury's still out on Wilfred. I don't want to like it but it's honestly entertaining. Otherwise I would add Breaking Bad, Justified, and Treme as my favorite running shows right now. 30 Rock Workaholics Hard Times of RJ Berger Reno 911 Bored to Death Misfits (UK) Looking forward to Death Valley. | |

Looking forward to Death Valley. I forgot 30 Rock & Bored to Death, great shows. I haven't really loved The Office since like season 3, but those first 3 were amazing. I feel the same on Family Guy, but it's still good for a laugh here and there. Happy Endings is a new sitcom on ABC. It's not the most high-minded stuff, but it's surprisingly good. When I first saw a preivew for Wilfred I thought it looked pretty stupid, also Elijah Wood on TV just seemed weird to me, but I gave it a chance and got hooked. I love the darkness. I've heard nothing but good things abut Breaking Bad. I need to check it out. | |

NCIS (both the original and LA) The First 48 House Breaking Bad Law & Order SVU Hot In Cleveland Entourage Burn Notice Necessary Roughness Psych Community Boardwalk Empire
Alcatraz (Fox) and Person Of Interest (CBS) seem interesting, looking forward to their debuts this fall. | |

Betty White is timelessly funny, and Valerie Bertinelli can STILL get it! | |

| Shows I DVR since I work nights:
Monday Night Raw Daily Show Fringe South Park Tosh.0 The Office Friday Night Smackdown Ring Of Honor
Shows I Watch Pretty Regularly
Family Guy American Dad Cleveland Show College Football on Saturdays (Especially ISU games, Iowa games because of my wife, and Ok if I get a chance) NFL on Sundays (especially Lions if they're actually on tv, but my wife is a fan of the Broncos, and if neither team is on we end up watching the Cowboys because of my sister in law, or the Colts because of my mother in law)
Cartoons I Watch With My Son
Transformers Prime Fanboy & Chum Chum Planet Sheen sometimes Spongebob Voltron Force Thundercats Avengers Batman Brave & the Bold (very 60's campy show, hella funny sometimes)
I used to watch but I feel fell off House Simpsons Community Parks & Rec Boondocks
I also am going to give Person of Interest a chance, but JJ Abrams last new show (about the spy couple) reeeeally sucked. |

| "Smartest"? Really? Big Bang Theory?
Regardless...I just feel like Chevy Chase stopped giving a shit, much like Baldwin on 30 Rock (only Chase started much quicker). The acting is subpar, and the jokes, while usually funny, seem like they've all been done other places. I think the focus is definitely on story over jokes, which is fine, just not my thing. |

| I would say that Community has more inside jokes and tongue-in-cheek dialogue than any other sitcom going. The character development and arcs are definitely the most ambitious for any 30 minute network show. | |

| Ok, KJ...whatever.
No I liked the pilot a lot, and I enjoyed the first few episodes, but by mid-season I was really really bored. And yeah, the writing is ambitious, OVER ambitious, and like I said I appreciate story over comedy but it's not something I really LIKE. I want my comedies to be funny without running the same damn jokes into the ground (a la Arrested Development, which I'm sure you also love and consider "smart"). |

I also am going to give Person of Interest a chance, but JJ Abrams last new show (about the spy couple) reeeeally sucked. House fell off somewhat, but it's still good. This season has me intrigued with who is going to replace Cuddy and how House is going to get out of jail. I don't feel that the Boondocks fell off at all. I really liked the 3rd season a lot save for the Ruckus episode in which he was singing. Unfortunately though it ended thanks to lazy ass McGruder. He'll never make more money or be more well known in anything else he ever does. Saw Person of Interest the other night and was impressed. Probably the best new scripted show of the season. I'll check out Pan-Am tonight too since the Sunday Night game sucks ass. | |

SoA is awesome. And if GoT continues to remain as faithful to the books as season 1 did (to the first book), then season 2 is going to kick ass, and season 3 will be incredible. I started reading the books after season 1 ended...I'm about three quarters of the way through the third. I just can't stop reading. Every chapter seems to end with a little hook, like an episode of LOST, or the episodes from season 1. Gripping stuff, though I've heard books 4 and 5 aren't nearly as good as the first three. | |

| I was surprised on how good that game was. I ended up turning to it after Animation Domination was over. I heard Collingsworth say that they never even really practiced Painter all that much went Peyton was around, THAT was their mistake and the reason why dude wasn't very good. He may well have some potential. He's not gonna be Peyton, but he could prove to be at least serviceable. Collins just needs to retire. | |

| Yeah, Collins really needs to go. I hadn't seen him live yet this year, but wow he was very bad on some of his passes. Painter was not much better, but he has an excuse and on the last drive where they did score he showed some nice passes to Garcon.

Well that series is being cancelled after two episodes, whereas Tony Romo starring in "The Most Mistake Prone QB in the World" has become a smash hit and has been given a full season pick up. As usual though, it'll be off the air right after Christmas. | |
