2013 TV Thread: Winter, Spring, definitely Summer - pimp your new finds/threadless wonders here!

I'm just going to assume that this is an hour of today's hottest celebrities flexing their biceps

Elementary, my dear DJP.

Chronically shirtless consulting detectives are my guilty pleasure.

ok dalia's send in the clowns was fantastic.

it's also great how they just throw in the jewish thing on occasion.

Read This: The plan to save Up All Night almost involved a magical portal only the baby could see

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall at NBC right now.

More people watched NCIS at 8 last night than watched American Idol + NBC+Fox+CW+ABC *combined.*

you guys, why are we being deprived of the epic meltdown that will be whatever shape they attempt to beat Up All Night into

MOM (CBS) Allison Janney plays Anna Faris’s mother — both ends of that equation sound pretty enticing. Chuck Lorre is the writer of this comedy, which could be good (“The Big Bang Theory”) or bad (“Two and a Half Men”).

but... chuck lorre : (

sad, cuz i like both those ladies

Magical baby portals? Melissa Etheridge? Oh NBC.

smdh at a universe where Big Bang Theory is "good"

So... syh at this universe?

well yeah

it's in a hot dense state iirc

ok so the last whitney was a Very Special Episode where her sister comes out as transgender and decides to undergo surgery. I'm actually sort of impressed.

i am amazed anyone on here is still watching whitney

Does that mean they are going to recast her sister or is the person playing her now going to do drag or is that actress transitioning in real life?

Also why the fuck am I asking this about Whitney

whitney somehow went from being excruciating in the first season to settling into a decent groove. like never aiming high, but not really falling flat either.

they just sort of parachuted in the sister out of nowhere (not a series regular) so i don't think this is something that's going to be around every episode. pretty clumsy plotting (the show consistently has clumsy plotting). its somehow still cool for a network sitcom to deal with this.

Was out sick today and caught up on the first two episodes of The Americans like I'd been meaning to do for weeks. Officially hooked now. Will probably burn through the rest of the backlog asap and catch up on this week's episode this weekend.

man 'the following' has to be the stupidest show i've watched in years

im gonna give this thing a try when it starts - http://www.sundancechannel.com/top-of-the-lake/

altho the preview thing slightly worried me w/ how many times "novelistic" was used, like they were trying 2 really force that description rather than it exising

I'm chuffed for it. Jane Campion. Heard good things. And Elisabeth Moss doing a New England accent, apparently.

Whoops

not sure why that article has editorial shots of Alison Brie but whatever

Never needs a reason

good wife getting a little maury with the paternity test.

really really enjoying the americans now that i started

Same here. And now there's a two week break. :(

well i'm only just now on week three so i'm in a good place

did i say good wife? meant scandal.

(of all the mistakes to make)

huh, i couldn't remember what that could possibly have been, chalked it up to yet another forgettable good wife trial-of-the-week

scandal is still kind of disoriented i think

i mean after they built to the last few big reveals mid-season, how are you possibly going to follow that up. so its a bit more procedural again for the moment, i guess.

if we're going to follow some procedures then she can't be talking on the phone with president mcsexy every three days or so and staring off into space and biting her lip, that's just not good business practices

um you seem to be forgetting something - when your lover is the president every inch of you is a scandal

new vikings show in history is really fun, at least the first two episodes

i mean, its bad, but in *just the right way*

house of cards is... not so good. thinks it is much smarter than it is. giving up after second ep.

watch the original series instead

yeah, i think i will

For 150 bucks I'll come to your #Scandal-obsessed toddler's birthday party and eat cereal and Chinese food in character.

v. affordable

as outlandish as all the storylines on scandal are, somehow the huck ones manage to be the most absurd.

but even here its fascinating how much of the writing is about duty and obligation, pandering to desires to be wanted, necessary. i like how much the writing tries, how much it wants to be loved.

*this* is the "scandal" thread?

i haven't watched this week's episode, but i kind of hate huck. "he likes torturing people, but he's the one who's *really* tortured! emotionally!" and then the combination of that with him being this hacker savant. i don't think guillermo diaz has smiled once on the show.
