You're so right. And I didn't even see the first half of the episode. Sucks for me. Catch it tomorrow I guess.

Yeah you absolutely have to watch it on Hulu or whatever tomorrow, you gotta catch the first 30 minutes.

I dont know exactly...I've tried, could be the style of the animation or just the fact that I've seen every episode so much. I still hold a soft spot for it but, cant seem to sit down and watch it anymore. They show the re-runs on the Reelzchannel via directv.

lol at Orson Welles. Oh Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. They're even better raw.

[The Unseen]

another excellent Breaking Bad. Not sure how well Saul will stick in the plot, though

[Hollywood]

I thought the last two episodes of Breaking Bad were a little sub par but damn...this new one just blew me away. Unbelievable and probably my favorite episode of the season, possibly the entire series. I can't wait to see where it goes from here, best show on television.

[Hollywood]

I think Saul will fit in great and he really is what they probably need, though at the same time he will always be difficult for them to trust.

God that's sick, Walt's losing it. I love Saul's character, he's going to mediate and make them some bills

What an amazing episode of Chuck. Footlong Meatball Marinara to go along with Chuck. Phenomenal.

[CashmoneyDrew]

So Chuck was Chucking incredible tonight. I'll be sooooo pissed if it doesn't get renewed.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I love Breaking Bad so much. ******* excellent show. At first I thought it would have to end after a couple seasons but it seems every week they are setting up the show perfectly for the long run.

[Crickett]

Colonel Casey and his marine unit parachuting in to save the day/wedding was the greatest thing I've seen in Chuck since the game of missile command to stop actual missiles.

And to top that off, "I know kung fu".

[Hollywood]

Absolutely. I started getting that same feeling after the last two episodes that it might not be able to last and it would have to wrap it up, but yea...this last episode sealed its fate of having an outstanding future IMO. Saul is a great addition.

[Mr. Hero]

just a great episode. I can't even express how awesome it was. It was better than tonights How I Met Your Mother, which was great as well.

[El Peefs?????]

Man I hope Bob Odenkirk becomes a regular cast member of Breaking Bad. His character Saul is awesome and is a great element to the show. He reminds me in a way of Kevin Nealon's role in Weeds. Plus Bob Odenkirk is fraking hilarious. Also one of my favorite episodes of Breaking Bad.

Oh and does anyone else find the neighbor chick/love interest ridiculously sexy?

[Paul]

One of the better FOTC scenes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NnG5clnqdQ

[vidae]

That episode of Chuck was so amazing. What a great SEASON finale.

So many moments made me laugh out loud. Jeffster for one. When Jeff said "follow me for the changes" I DIED laughing. Two weeks in a row he's had a killer line (last weeks "Mind if I get right?" with the cholorform) and that just killed me.

The fight/shooting scene during the Jeffster performance was epic. It was something you normally don't see in a show like this (quality wise) and everything fit perfectly.

There might be better shows on TV but you will never have as much fun watching a show as you will with Chuck. I haven't watched an episode and thought "meh".. I've always come away having just enjoyed myself.

It will be a damn shame if they don't renew this for another season. It's up against one of the toughest time slots period, going up against Monday Night Football (when it's on), House and How I Met Your Mother, and the only show I have to watch when it's on is Chuck, the others get dvr'd.

I wrote a letter and went to Subway. Here is to hoping they do the right thing and this isn't the last we've seen. I read somewhere that they reveal the fall line-up on May 5th, which is a week from today, but maybe we'll get some information before then.

[Whistler6]

Man oh man... I don't know whether to continue the "gush" fest for Chuck or Breaking Bad. All I can do is hop on the bandwagon. Both shows are incredibly awesome TV in my opinion.

1.) Jesse Pinkston's neighbor girl is a babe

2.) Chuck uploading the new intersect and wrecking some sh** was all kinds of super. Still it was hard to watch without cracking up.. Loved it

3.) Saul adds a dynamic to Breaking Bad that they haven't had on the show yet, and that says a lot because they take every angle on that show

4.) Because Chuck's little buddy is leaving to become a chef, does that mean he's gone from the show?

5.) Will Chuck join Walt in the meth business and try to make some extra coin? Ahhh got them mixed up...Chuck me

[Dr. Gonzo]

Pinkston's neighbor got her start in Veronica Mars, an incredibly show that is criminally under watched because people seem to think it is a girl show (it is one of the darker mainstream shows I have ever watched).

So this week there was an episode of Breaking Bad and an ep of Chuck that were among each shows best. How I Met Your Mother was ******* hilarious. I am watching Party Down which is funny as **** and another show that will go mostly unwatched because of the no name network it is on. I can't wait to watch Heroes and Rescue Me is always a highlight of my TV watching week. There was also a hilarious ending to The Apprentice and it was being funny watching the Rivers mother and daughter duo acting like bitches.

[Mr. Hero]

gonzo your love of veronica mars is one of your few saving graces. I used to watch that show regularly before I started drinking/smoking/partying every waking moment of my life. I'm pretty sure my sister got all the seasons I haven't seen at home so i'm planning on enjoying finally finishing that show this summer since I'll actually be back home this year.

Some of the best purchases I have ever made with all three seasons. Go back and watch it from the beginning. It is such a ******* great show. Everyone who I recommend it to and who actually watches it (not too many people really) love it.

I am glad I gave it a chance. It certainly isnt the incredibly amazing flawless show you made it out to be, but it is highly enjoyable and incredibly unique. The premise is unlike anything Ive ever watched before, and while it isnt my favorite show Ive ever watched, it is quite good and very addicting. It has my vote of recommendation to go along with everyone else on here who loves it.

Wow, that is weird that you say that. One of my friends work at UCB Los Angeles and we were talking about all the UCB people and their careers after the old UCB show (it's probably my favorite show ever). So, we're talking about Dog Bites Man and how it's a shame it never caught on because it was brilliant haha.

I really enjoyed How I Met Your Mother this week. I do every week really but this week's episode was pretty ******* great.

I'm not arguing that how I met your mother wasn't great, just that this week the Big Bang Theory was better. It really was an incredible episode.

I think the reason it didnt catch on were because of its similarities to The Office, except Dog Bites Man is just oh so much smarter then The Office. It is brilliant humor IMO.

Season 1 is far and away my favorite season. I have never liked the direction they took Dexter the character in after the first season. That said, its still an absolutely fantastic show and my favorite on television. Season 3 had a great performance from Jimmy Smits and an interesting premise. Continues on great TV.

I have digital cable with Shaw but I could never find it. It may have been on a channel that you have to pay extra for.

Although I'd be willing to watch it online, on DVD, I usually watch 2-3 episodes in one sitting because its so addicting. I don't know if I would enjoy it as much on my computer (I probably would enjoy just as much but that's how I justify it to myself http://draftcountdown.com/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif).

Meh, I think he's way to whinny now. I still enjoy the show, but I definitely think dexter was a more interesting character in season one. Then again the other characters wouldn't be as involved if dexter hadn't undergone any change and they've really impressed this season so I'm not sure which direction I like more.

Finished season 3 of Veronica Mars...not nearly as good as the other 2 seasons IMO, but still solid...The ending of the show was kind of meh, but Ill assume thats because the show was cancelled without a chance to really close things up...

Overall, good show, definitely recommend it. Like i ve said before, very unique. It melts classic detective elements with high school drama, which is pretty cool I must say. It pays some nice homages to noir era films (Loved the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang reference in season 3), and is a pretty addictive show. It can get a teenie bit formulaic at times, but thats just how the show works. It isnt the stellar piece of television some made it out to be, and I have seen better shows, but it is quite good. Definitely glad I watched it.

well I must say The Unusuals is one the of the best show son TV. **** is epic!

If Dollhouse doesn't come back for a second season it'll be a damn shame. Great episodes the last five weeks (since Whedon actually got to put his touch on it) and Tudyk was outstanding in his role.

Hopefully Fox gives it another season.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Party Down has been consistently excellent for weeks now. I look forward every week to a new episode. I am not saying the first few eps were bad but the show really found its groove at about episode 3 or 4 and it has been great ever since. I highly recommend it.

I just really don't understand why Joss even bothered pitching Dollhouse to Fox. First, they don't allow him to write the show how he wants forcing his hand completely for the first half of the season. Then they stick him on their absolute dead worst time slot. All of this after the Firefly debacle.

Honestly, I don't think theyre going to give it another season. And the show was progressing beautifully, absolutely loved the 'Wash' guest spot (Whedon has teh best guest spots..) People don't want to try something new & Fox never really wanted to give it a legit shot. Im holding out a glimmer of hope that Sci-Fi will pluck this up for next season and let Joss be Joss.


Oh and also, Season 3 of Dexter was crappy. Too much non emotionless killing machine, too much police & gf drama. WAY too much annoying sister.

So I'm not a real advocate of E! with all their lame reality shows.. But The Soup and Chelsea Lately really are funny shows.

Was just about to post it. NBC made it official, it is back for 13 episodes and possibly another 9 back ordered, depending on how it does. Speculation as to when it'll be on but they've already said that they're pairing up a new drama to go along with Heroes in the Monday time slot, so here is to hoping that in a new night (not dominated by Fox and CBS) they can find new life.

I don't even care what night it's on, I'm just glad we get another season. I doubt you'll see any characters removed completely, but I could see an episode or two without Jeffster or Anna etc.

And if this doesn't work out, I guess I'll have to go buy two footlong subs. :D

Hooray! More Chuck. I'm actually kind of glad it's only 13 episodes to start. That means less filler in the end. But as long as I get some more Yvonne Strahovski and Sarah Lancaster, I'm good. :D

My Name is Earl had a great run, it was time though.

If any network really deserves some hellfire, it's Fox. My friends and I still pop in a dvd of firefly from time to time. Sigh...

I agree. The show was dragging and the humour got stupider as the show droned on

[scottyboy]

please tell me someone else here watches Criminal Minds and can go "wtf?" with me after that...

I think I'm alone on this one but does anyone else get the urge to change the channel once Michael Bisping and Team UK start talking on "The Ultimate Fighter"? Again.. I might be alone on this.

plus a wicked film.

I didnt think the film was all that good. They changed characters personalities too much from what they had been on the show. Plus there wasnt even an attempt to give any of the Preachers back story or say who he actually was. Instead it was all about River. But yes, the show was ridiculously amazing.

Im very (VERY) happy that Dollhouse gets another season. Unfortunately its still in the death slot and I don't see its ratings improving much in that slot no matter how good the episodes may be.

[El Peefs?????]

any one else excited for True Blood to start up again?

This guy. Im just really hoping that Lafayette is back, easily one of the most entertaining characters on the show.

I also hate Anna Paquin, funny how I still love the show she stars in. I don't like her as an actress and I despise 'Sookie Stackhouse' as a character.

Wow, I missed a lot of posts. I'll try to catch up!

Earl had really run its course. I was a huge fan during the first season but really couldn't get behind it since then. Nothing seemed to have changed and I just got bored.

I'm really happy Fox gave Whedon a second season. He's talented and Dollhouse is a really good show, just started slowly because of Fox. And I'm a huge Firefly / Serenity nerd so I absolutely f'ing loved the Tudyk guest spot. I really hope he's there next season, as he was PHENOMENAL in his role in just a few episodes. I'm really surprised he hasn't gotten more work.

Chuck won't be back until March 2010 (still on Mondays at 8pm), but that is right after the Olympics. NBC and Subway look to be putting a lot of power behind Chuck and are using the Olympics to relaunch the show behind a massive, massive audience. When Chuck was properly promoted (superbowl ads) it shot up in viewers from a steady 5-6 million to 8 million. I'm hoping that the increased exposure through commercials and special web content that Chuck will find an audience and we won't be back here hoping it gets picked up again.

Ben Silverman, the head of NBC, flat out stated that the fan participation (through letter writing, purchasing footlongs and sending in packs of nerds) basically "forced" their hand. After the fans, critics and a huge sponsor like Subway got behind it, they had to bring it back.

I dont care about any of the shows but, I did hear that CBS picked up Medium.

I read that too. I'm not in love with the show, but I watch it. It's semi entertaining and better than not watching anything. Glad it got picked up somewhere, and will probably fit well right after Ghost Whisperer if you're into that sort of thing.

I really enjoyed the move myself. Sure it wasnt exact same as the TV show, and was much more Sci Fi then Western I felt, but it still had its moments. I agree, alot of the show's unanswered questions still werent answered, but what do you expect them to do? I really wish it had never been cancelled. Still. Awesomeness.

I dont like her either haha. I wish they could have gotten someone attractive/cute to play Sookie. Evan Rachel Wood is going to be in season 2, so that's an improvement.

is anyone else following Deadliest Warrior?

Was that the show that was on right before Ultimate Fighter last night? That was really quite lame, TBH.

I'm going to miss Lizzy Caplan. Her character was pure sex.

I'm going to miss Lizzy Caplan. Her character was pure sex.

Lizzy Caplan in general is pure sex. She is so hot.

That would be true.
