IASIP was pretty good tonight. I am satisfied with Fat Mac.

[vidae]

Parks and Rec was awesome, but Community was awesomer. Great night of TV there NBC. Too bad you're too ******* stupid to realize when you have a good thing so you're only giving us two more episodes of Community this year. Go crawl into a dark hole and die NBC.

edit: "For what it's worth, I think you would make an incredible brunette. Ron Swanson."

I thought Parks and Rec was better, but then again I think the Dean is reaching Chang levels of annoyance. They have really focused on him way too ******* much lately.

I don't really mind Dean Pelton.. and I think Jeff did an amazing job playing him haha. I never really minded Chang much either so maybe I'm in the minority.

Honestly think American Horror Story is one of the best things on TV, and easily the best new show this year.

I'm with you Vidae. I actually kind of like the dean and what he brings to the table. All 3 comedies were excellent last night. The Rown Swanson brunette line was so funny. I should use that this weekend.

You clearly haven't seen Revenge.

[vidae]

I honestly don't get the love for AHS. It's like they decided to think of crazy **** and throw it all on a board and just go with it. I watched the first three episodes and I think it's very meh.

And yeah, Revenge is easily the best new show of the season.

And Dexter was renewed for TWO more seasons.

True, but I'm planning a marathon.

The first 3 eps were probably the weakest, vidazzle. It literally gets better with each episode. It doesn't help that I've watchd it in total darkness late at night. Not that it's actually creepy, but there's a bit of an unsettling vibe.

[vidae]

Well, I will keep watching then sir, but if I dislike it when I catch up you will be watching a show of MY choosing!

[Xiomera]

Parks is such a good show I can't decide which character — Ron, Ben or Andy — is my favorite. There isn't a bad character on the show. Not even close.

Deal. I have open slots for Happy Endings and Revenge.

Btw has anyone noticed Boardwalk Empire's sharp decline? I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one who feels this way but this show has become borderline trite. I can probably trace it all back to Jimmy becoming a complete momma's boy, spouting off lines like 'Sometimes I think I wasn't meant for this' and being literally teh definition of a whipped momma's boy.

Pair that with the absolutely stupid characterizations (particularly Chalky) of most of the characters, and plot movement proceeding at a snail's pace and I am pretty turned off by this show lately. This show acts like it is already Sopranos-level royalty with the reverence it gives certain 'dramatic' beats but it just hasn't earned them.

[Brodeur]

I thought Boardwalk was bleh during the first half of the first season and I haven't gone back.

Vidae what's a good rating for a show on cable?

I'd agree with that. Things seemed kind of all over the place early on, but they're putting it together very nicely.

[A Perfect Score]

How awesome was Jeff Goldblum on The League? Just awesome.

Also, that was definitely the best Community episode this season.

More than just awesome whatever that would be. I hope he's back for more episodes. The League has been really great this year sans last week when they had the two episodes.

Uh, I guess it really depends. Anything over a 1.0 in the 18-49 is probably pretty good for cable. What show are you asking about?

I know SOA got something ridic like a 2.2 last week, which is really good.. and I think Psych just got a 0.9, which is solid.

I was just thinking of Psych, The League and a few others. They're consistently in the top 10 on their night of programming so I'm not worried.

[vidae]

As far as I know none of the USA shows get outrageous ratings, but they're always very consistent and have loyal fan bases. USA can't be upset at all by what they're getting on cable, especially during the fall against the "big four" networks.

Ron is probably my favorite but April is a close second.

Yeah, April doesn't make my top 3, but she stacks up favorably still. No show has as good of a 4th-best character as her, haha

Great Homeland episode the ending was even better then last weeks. I was shocked.
