Has any one been watching Arrow?Been a good start the series so far.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Bought season 1 of Happy Endings. That's an investment that just pays for itself in laughing.

Yeah Arrow is solid. The dialogue is kinda crappy but it's a CW show so I can deal with it.

Big Bang Theory > Happy Endings and I don't even like BBT. I just don't see what you guys see in Happy Endings. Too me, it just seems unrealistic and forced. I can't imagine any of the characters existing in real life.

You could not be more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful. Happy Endings kicks the absolute **** out of BBT any day of the week. BBT has a LAUGH TRACK, therefore your opinion on the matter is already invalidated.

A Friends reference. I like it. Another show vastly superior to Happy Endings.

I think the only show I've ever watched with a laugh track that I actually found funny was Seinfeld.

Damon Wayans Jr. is funnier by himself than the entire cast of Big Bang Theory.

[draftguru151]

Yea Happy Endings is at least 43084 times better than BBT. So ridiculously funny.

To be fair, him n his wife are also the funniest part of the show by a large margin.

Brad maybe, I think Jane is probably right there with the rest of the cast.

[Brodeur]

All the implications that Max isn't the best character.

[Rosebud]

Max is third, but he's hit or miss for me.

Boy Meets World: The Next Generation

The Disney Channel is currently circling the prospect of a Boy Meets World sequel series called Girl Meets World. Not only that, but insiders say the cable network is looking to cast original series stars Ben Savage (Cory) and Danielle Fishel (Topanga); their two characters were married before the popular sitcom ended in 2000. The new series would focus on their pre-teen daughter.

Is Mr. Feeny still alive?

[vidae]

I dunno if I like that idea, but I will watch it. Oh lord will I watch it.

‘Mythbusters’ to do ‘Breaking Bad’-themed episode with Aaron Paul and Vince Gilligan — EXCLUSIVE
By Dan Snierson

Critics praise Breaking Bad for its authentic characters and storytelling, but is it scientifically accurate? Mythbusters is breaking out the Hazmat suits to find out.

EW has learned that the Discovery reality series — in which everything from urban legends to Hollywood scenes are scrutinized in the name of science — will put AMC drug drama Breaking Bad under the microscope with an episode that includes appearances by star Aaron Paul and creator Vince Gilligan. “We’ve been wanting to do a Breaking Bad episode for awhile,” says Mythbusters host Adam Savage. “Obviously there’s a lot of fertile material to play with, so things that happen on the show have been ending up on our list of stories to tackle for a couple years now. And when Vince said in an interview that he’d love to see a Mythbusters/Breaking Bad crossover, we reached out to him directly and the response was overwhelming positive.”

Savage and co-host Jamie Hyneman will test the science from a scene in season 1 of Bad, in which Paul’s Jesse Pinkman uses hydrofluoric acid to dissolve a body but ignores instructions from Walt (Bryan Cranston) to use a plastic container. Jesse places the body in a bathtub instead and the acid eats right through the tub, which winds up falling through the floor. “Hydrofluoric acid is terrifying stuff,” notes Savage. “It’s not quite like alien blood, which is what a lot of people think when they think of powerful acids. It’s poisonous in a way that is completely unique and very disturbing.” (Don’t worry, Buster won’t be harmed during this investigation.)

Co-hosts Tory Belleci, Kari Byron, and Grant Imahara will be conducting a second experiment based on another scene from the show’s first season. The Mythbusters gang had actually planned to do a third, but the other two turned out to be so “meaty,” they opted to save it for a possible sequel episode. “There’s easily one more if not a couple more Breaking Bad [inspired] episodes,” says Savage. “Those guys have been so much fun with technology and science that there’s a lot that we could do with them.” That prospect might make you exclaim, “Yeah, *****! Magnets!” But one thing’s for sure: None of the experiments will involve Walt’s highly illegal “Blue Sky” crystal meth recipe. “We have no interest in increasing the public’s knowledge about how to make methamphetamine,” says Savage.

While the Mythbusters hosts were excited about the prospect of a Breaking Bad-themed episode, it posed a bit of challenge. “We’re going to push the limit of humor about this as far as we can, and it’s a difficult line because Mythbusters is a family show,” says Savage. “A lot of people watch it with their kids, and yet we’re doing with a collaboration with pretty much the least family-oriented show on television right now, about a science teacher turned drug manufacturer who kills people. At the same time, they’re very committed to getting the scene right on that show. The fact that those guys love science and they want us to test their stuff — and they don’t care whether we bust it or not, they want to actually know the answer — that’s our favorite kind of collaboration.”

UPDATE: The Breaking Bad installment is being shot this week in San Francisco and will air in the spring.

The new season of Misfits has been pretty good despite having half the original cast. Anyone else watch it?
