I'm not going to lie my eyes watered a few times watching Buffy, I know Willow got me atleast twice.

[LizardState]

Here's that 1999 album encompassing the best of the Buffy bands, including their Whedon-anointed fave Velvet Chain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer:_The_Album

Radio Sunnydale had bigger name bands but nowhere the quality of songs IMO. CCSD will enjoy it that most of the new teen bands introduced in the early season usually onstage at The Bronze were from San Diego, but not VC who are all from LA except for frontwoman singer Erika Amato who's a Jersey transplant & trying to be an anctress now. If you look very closely, their black & yellow 1st album cover (Warm) is a sticker on many of the Sunnydale HS lockers & backpacks.

Also Darling Violetta (whose CD sucked) maybe from SD, chk me on that. I think Whedon handpicked most of them from Sunset Blvd. nightclubs.

[CC.SD]

I don't think Darling Violetta is from SD, although I did see them at a club in Orange County once. But it's true some of the local talent did end up on the Bronze stage.

Parenthood is a good show to watch following LOST. You don't have to think too hard, at all.

Parenthood isn't a bad show, I just don't think it's a good show. It's meh. I dvr it and watch it later but I'm usually bored halfway through.

Shannen Doherty declined to be on Kimmel tonight after being eliminated from DWTS. First booted contestant ever to do that according to Jimmy. She got her paycheck so...

Shannen Doherty is still alive?

I've never seen a single second of the dancing show, but I'm a Jimmy Kimmel fan. If it wasn't for Kimmel's monologue, like the post above, I wouldn't have known Shannen Doherty still existed.

I think the last time I saw her was on Scare Tactics...?

[Splat]

But I do want to watch Mallrats.

Brenda?

Dick!

The Stan Lee cameo & the fortune teller with the 3rd nipple did it for me....oh wait, it's a TV thread.

Shannen Doherty is the most dangerous date in Hollywood. She sucker-punches & then thinks about it afterward. True story: returning from her 1st marriage Hawaii honeymoon, she & new husband checked themselves straight into the ER b/c they beat the crap out of each other, lots of stitches & antibiotics involved. Some girls get off on open wounds & bruises.....

And her replacement on the very bad witch series Charmed, Rose McGowan, is so much hotter. Better actress too.

[Splat]

Was Justified new last night I wasn't home?

[The Unseen]

Ugh...V isn't all that good.
But Justified is (yes Splat there was a new one)

[vidae]

I dvr'd V. I enjoyed the first four episodes but it's one of those shows that I wouldn't necessarily miss if it were axed tomorrow.

is Funny or Die not funny or is it just me?

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Justified has disappointed me since episode 1.

[Brodeur]

Justified has disappointed me since episode 1.

I agree with you in a way. I thought it was going to be another show like Damages, The Shield, and Rescue Me on FX where there was a continuing arc, not just a procedural.

I didn't know there was a show called Minute to Win It until I watched Chuck tonight.

[vidae]

It's hosted by a Chef too. Why? No idea.

[CJSchneider]

Minute to Win It is pretty funny - or at least the one I watched was entertaining.

[Splat]

It's hosted by a Chef too. Why? No idea.

Guy Fier is not just a chef...

[vidae]

Guy Fier is not just a chef...

He's most known for being a TV personality on Food Network, owning restaurants and being a head-chef in some of them.

What else would you call him?

[Whistler6]

When Larry David and Ricky Gervais were unable to make Marriage Ref funny, there is no chance for success. I'm pretty sure the only reason they have decent ratings, if it does(?), is because it follows Community-Parks and Rec-The Office-30 Rock.

Another complaint, the show advertises Jerry Seinfeld for several months. He shows up for 2 episodes then disappears so marriage-failures like Kirstie Alley and Madonna can fill in.

If I find out Chuck doesn't come back, I'm going to...um...probably come on here and ***** about it. It would be a travesty though!

[Brodeur]

I really hate Guy Fier, if just for his abysmal hair style and his doucheness. I don't watch the Food Network but I'll just say it anyway.

[vidae]

I like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, but literally anyone else could host it (except Tom Papa) and I'd still watch it.

If that were true though, at least The Tonight Show would be watchable again. OH SNAP, LENO BURN. Get it? I'm saying that as much as I dislike Tom Papa, he'd be an upgrade over Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.

I could argue endlessly that "Don't You Forget About Me" playing after Fry discovers the writing on the tombstone is more emotional than when it rolls at the end of The Breakfast Club.

Damnit, we almost had a moment there.

Following Futurama, I dipped into the world of Family Guy for a while. As ashamed as I am to admit that, if it wasn't for my experience with the scam that is Seth McFarlane, I wouldn't have the appreciation that I do.

I'm not sure what to expect from its return on Comedy Central. But as long as they play episodes in order, without bouncing **** around or skipping weeks because of sports and that like FOX did, I'm in.

That would be redundant -- Canada is a freezer.

The last Justified was very good IMO. SPOILER ALERT: There's an LA road trip involved, but some tank trap-sized craters in the plotline. They can only fit so much in an hr. show. There were some supporting players performances that were just terrific, & you can hear exec. producer Elmore Leonard's fingerprints in the sarcastic dialog, just great stuff.

BTW TV Guide mag gave these kudos to their premier episode Fire In the Hole, short story on which it's based:

Cheers to Justified for doing right by Walton Goggins (who played racist bomber Boyd Crowder). The intensely talented actor who was unjustly denied an Emmy nomination for his searing work on The Shield (also on FX) ...... now if Goggins gets an Emmy nod that would truly be Justified.

Remember Goggins from The Shield? That bucktoothed overbite & gangly physique, he looks like an inbred neo-Nazi from Kentucky... his line at teh dinner table was classic:

"Damn, woman! Doncha ever shoot anybody except when they're eatin' supper?"

Speaking of Emmys, I hope the writing team & Olyphant from Justified get some recognition, but let's get real here -- nobody is going to touch Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad for best dramatic series actor, he's won it the 2 previous yrs.

That would be redundant -- Canada is a freezer.

[Splat]

The Office when it's new which is like never any more.

[CC.SD]

Didn't Duncan have the advantage for the quick shot of the little fight they had in Season 2?

Also, just learned that the complete series of Daria is out next month and that's pretty awesome.

Didn't Duncan suckerpunch him?

[nrk]

I do not appreciate criticisms of Mr. Olyphant.

I'll admit to not having seen Deadwood, so I might not have seen him at his best.

[Brodeur]

Didn't Duncan suckerpunch him?

Isn't Logan the master of the sucker punch?

[Whistler6]

Jane Lane is identical to a girl I date in high school, but I ended up going out witha friend of hers for the next 2 years...Even went to the same college.

I guess that would make me Tom Sloane?

[CC.SD]

Isn't Logan the master of the sucker punch?

Hmm touche'.

[Splat]

Duncan sucks not as much as Riley on Buffy but he sucks.

[Brodeur]

Jane Lane is identical to a girl I date in high school, but I ended up going out witha friend of hers for the next 2 years...Even went to the same college.

A more douchey Tom Sloane.

[Whistler6]

Timothy Olyphant has to be one of the worst actors I've had the displeasure of seeing.

You didn't like him as Elisha Cuthbert's porn manager?

[CC.SD]

Obviously not liking Olyphant is some weird fluke, a mental disease that occurs in a minute percentage of the population.

[Brodeur]

Hmm touche'.

Well I look at it this way: Duncan probably would have gotten his ass kicked by Weevil but Logan always held strong against him in their quarrels of note. But we can't really decipher who actually would necessarily win in an overall fight on the show with no weapons because all of the cheaters brought in weapons except for Keith, so in conclusion, Keith wins every goddamn fight.

[Whistler6]

I can't argue with that, but I have you to thank for the cynical "douche" I've become. I do like your taste in TV though.

[Job]

I also like Brodeur's taste.

[CC.SD]

That logic is infallible Brodeur.

[Whistler6]

What shows do people watch on Thursdays? I have shows I watch from Sunday-Wednesday but nothing Thursday or Friday.

Community-Parks and Rec-The Office-30 Rock is as good of 2 hours TV as it gets for comedy. Just make sure to switch channels immediately following 30 Rock or you'll lose your dinner.

This season of Survivor has been pretty entertaining. Russel lured me in. Oh and "Kat" from LA Ink is a babe. That's one tattoo-covered girl I would do unspeakable things to.

[vidae]

The Thursday night lineup on NBC is good. I'm still somewhat interested in FlashForward, but I won't care if it is canceled.

[Job]

Are the new episodes good? I totally lost interest during the hiatus and haven't looked back on it.

[vidae]

Eh. I guess I'd say: I'm entertained, but I don't really think it's a GOOD show, if that makes sense?

It's worth watching since the NBC Thursday night stuff hasn't been new in weeks, but I usually dvr it and watch it a few days later. I guess if you're bored it's worth watching on abc.com, but if you didn't, you wouldn't be missing much.

[nrk]

You didn't like him as Elisha Cuthbert's porn manager?

No, I thought he was terrible. I also disliked him in Hitman and Live Free or Die Hard.

Obviously not liking Olyphant is some weird fluke, a mental disease that occurs in a minute percentage of the population.

Olyphantitus?

[Whistler6]

I also like Brodeur's taste.

I don't like anything that looks like lasagna or smells like tuna. But then again Sasha Vujacic is quite adorable in his own shaggy-haired, Yugoslavian kinda way.

[vidae]

I like him but I'm not a fan of Justified. I really wanted to like it, but it isn't what I thought it'd be.

[Whistler6]

No, I thought he was terrible. I also disliked him in Hitman and Live Free or Die Hard.

It was sarcasm, Olyphant played a dick in The Girl Next Door. Pretty funny movie though.

[Brodeur]

I don't like anything that looks like lasagna or smells like tuna. But then again Sasha Vujacic is quite adorable in his own shaggy-haired, Yugoslavian kinda way.

Being that I hate tuna and I always smell like I'm fresh out of a shower, this is very false.

I got it DL-ing as we speak, hopefully it will be done after I watch this episode of Justified.

[Brodeur]

Fringe is the best thing going on Thursdays now.

Parks and Recreation is better.

[Whistler6]

Parks and Recreation is better.

Parks and Rec should learn from other shows that bringing in celebrity guests can result in a trainwreck of an episode. The Office post-Superbowl show with Jack Black and Cloris Leachman sucked ass. Andy Samberg is hilarious and Parks and Rec has grown on me, but his spot on the show and the whole episode fell completely flat.

Timothy Olyphant is overrated. Yeah I said it.

Parks and Rec isn't even the best NBC comedy on thursday night. Community > The Office > 30 Rock > Parks and Rec.

Looks like I dont even need to respond to Brodeur, its been taken care of.

[diabsoule]

Thanks but no thanks on all of those. I don't like any of those shows at all. I gave them a shot, really wanting to like Community and 30 Rock, but their just bad. It's probably just me but most modern television comedies are lame.

Anyway, I'm probably going to give Fringe a shot. And so reading a synopsis of the show Fringe seems like an X-Files ripoff.

[Brent]

Fringe feels like it's about to start gearing up the episodes for a huge finale.

If you're talking Three's Company and MASH then yes, yes they are. If you're talking Cheers, Frasier and All In The Family then no, no they're not.

MASH is awesome. Better than any of those shows you listed there imo. I'm a Cheers and Frasier fan also. Three's Company is okay, there are definitely worse comedies on today.

[Brodeur]

If you're talking Three's Company and MASH then yes, yes they are. If you're talking Cheers, Frasier and All In The Family then no, no they're not.

Outside of Frasier, I would take about 6-10 different comedies airing today over the ones you listed.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Maybe its because I didn't grow up with it but I do not like old television shows very much at all. Now I think TV has caught up and great TV is just as awesome to watch as great movies are.

I happen to think there have been a ton of great comedy shows over the past fews years and am not at all a fan of TV comedy shows of old.

[Job]

TV comedy shows of any time period are a hell of a lot better than modern comedy movies, which are all kinds of awful.

This and MASH are two of my favorite comedies. I'd watch Sanford and Son over almost any currently running comedy.

[Brodeur]

The best TV comedy of all time is Arrested Development, AND ITS A MODERN COMEDY. Modern wins.

I don't consider Arrested Development terrible, but I wouldn't put it in my top comedy list. I'd take Sanford and Son and Seinfeld over it, along with quite a few other shows.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I thought that show was terrible. I would take Seinfeld over that any day of the week.

YOU'RE TERRIBLE!!!

:( I ******* love Arrested Development. I have seen every episode countless amounts of times and every time I still find the show hilarious. So many great bits but off the top of my head how can any show top a black hand puppet named Franklin who raps about racial inequalities or Tobias and his cat like reflexes. Arrested Development in my eyes is as near to perfect as a television comedy can be. Both it and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia I find consistently hilarious and both shows are so good that even really funny episodes get scrutinized for not being funny enough.

[Brodeur]

It's a billion times better than Seinfeld as it was always funny and didn't start horribly or end horribly like Seinfeld did. Plus, Seinfeld at its funniest never was nearly as funny nor did it feature even remotely close to the writing or acting that AD had.

AD is light years ahead of Seinfeld. Hell, so is Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I really enjoy Seinfeld but I agree that Curb is better and funnier. Larry David is a really ******* funny guy.

Arrested Development is a top 3 sitcom for me as well. **** I love that show. GOB is one of the funniest characters in TV history, and some of the guest appearances from big name stars are hilarious.

I'm talking shows that only had two or three seasons or even the dreaded one season...

Growing up, I loved Full House and Family Matter. Now I can't even stand to watch a minute of either.

Once cancelled show that I find pretty funny is Everybody Hates Chris. Nothing spectacular, but good for an occasional cheap laugh when nothing new is on.

I'll add Newsradio with Phil Hartman to the list. I loved that show. Phil Hartman was brilliant.

Twin Peaks goddammit. The series finale has so many goddamn cliffhangers that it makes me want to punch a baby because of the lack of resolution.

[Bengals78]

I'll add Newsradio with Phil Hartman to the list. I loved that show. Phil Hartman was brilliant.

Very true. Very true.
He goes up as one of the very sad stories. He wasn't a druggie or anything. Just was in an unfortunate relationship with a druggie *****.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Hartman

He was underrated for all his talents.

Bringing up Hartman makes me really sad and I don't appreciate that.

Leonardo Leonardo......great character or GREATEST character?

[SuperMcgee]

Bringing up Hartman makes me really sad and I don't appreciate that.

Leonardo Leonardo......great character or GREATEST character?

Not only is he great, but he recognized the greatness of the kid in the helmet.

Phil Hartman was just so great. A great person, one of my favorite SNL cast members, and he voiced the greatest recurring Simpsons character of all time.

This whole page makes me yearn for great TV. I agree with whoever called AD the best. Because it is... the best.

[Giantsfan1080]

Action also. It was hilarious for the 6 episodes it was on.

Brodeur you're so wrong about Seinfeld I don't know where to start. Yes the first 4 episodes weren't good but you could see the bright spots. Also, CYE is great but it's just a continuation because of Seinfeld. Who knows if AD was on for 10+ years if it would have been funny.

Undeclared was funny and I enjoyed it but man how could you leave Freaks & Geeks out? I always found Undeclared to basically be F&G lite. Freaks was not only funny, but it was so much more then that too.

[vidae]

Freaks and Geeks is awesome. I'll pop in the DVDs at least once a year and rewatch that. Sports Night too, which was canceled way too early.

[Brent]

Action also. It was hilarious for the 6 episodes it was on.
I have downloaded and re-watched all of Action (I did that about a year ago). It just got worse as the season went on. If I just stopped with the pilot, it would have been nice, but when you watch the whole season, just the first six, you see why it was canceled.

[A Perfect Score]

Also, Dog Bites Man was awesome when it was on as well.

Titus was good back in the day.

Lou Grant - Mary T. Moore spinoff that was 100 times better, forced off the air after one season when CBS knuckled under to Reagan pressure in 1981, no one really believed it was b/c of poor ratings
