Bob's Burgers does get better in the second half of season one. Though there's good episodes to start like when Bob is stuck in the wall.

Yeah, that was a fun episode. Guess I got spoiled by watching some other great shows before that, and it got so hyped that I might've been disappointed when I wouldn't otherwise be. I'll keep watching.

So, Falling Skies went downhill on season 3. The episode before the last one was basically Dr.Phil day. And plot seems to poor this season as well. I never felt any cheese on Falling Skies 'cause I was such a blind fan. But this season, the scene in front of the mirror by Hal forced me to do so. It was already renewed for a season 4. Let's hope it will get better.

actually, it's gotten way better since season 1 imo. more action, less walking around (which The walking dead has turned into) and plot twists that keep things fresh (Evil baby!)

I know people who think like that as well. In my opinion, season 1 was the best season 2 was a very close to best. Walking Dead lol...you wouldn't believe how much fun we made out of that show(in another board). At a particular time, we starting to count zombies shown in each episodes and we had 2 zombies in an episode I think :D

About zombies, check out the series "In The Flesh", it will refresh all who are sick of the stereotype zombie stuff.

Fox is falling out of love with Seth MacFarlane, TBS still love him

Falling Skies is actually getting pretty interesting with all these plot twists! I don't know how you could say you liked seasons 1 or 2 better than this

Don't think it's been mentioned here already, but Ray Donovan on Showtime is very good. It builds up the tension really well, and it's very character-driven.

Also, I had high hopes for The Bridge on FX, since it's about the city where I live and it's partially filmed here too, but for now I have mixed feelings about it. I like the story so far, but some of the characters are ridiculously stereotyped, especially the cops. I'll keep watching to see where it leads, because I always thought this would be a great setting for a TV drama.

Dude I started watching that maybe 2-3 years ago. Watched those episodes over and over, I have every episode on my PC. Season 5 was alright, but the Raffi and Dirty Randy spin-off was genius.

Raffi is the show's best character, by far.

I've been getting into The Crazy Ones lately. It's definitely not for everyone, especially those who have a low tolerance for Robin Williams, but I've been enjoying it so far.

Andrew, good news for you, it will most likely get renewed. My new favorite comedy atm is Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Pity that it's a 50-50 on renewal/cancellation. Dumb FOX.

Is that the Andy Samberg show? I didn't think that would get more than 3 episodes before getting canceled. It looked God awful in the promos.

Ya, that one. I like it pretty much. The character Andy Samberg portrays is very similar to Shawn Spencer from Psych. Has a slight Arrested Development feel in it. I admit all the episodes weren't great but it has potential.

But when I look out and see shows like The Neighbors, The Millers etc get renewed, it's saddening.

Decent sitcoms are hard to find these days. Even Modern Family has went downhill. And I stopped watching New Girl within 2 episodes in Season 3.

Yeah, I've heard it's been doing reasonably well in the States and has a promising future.

Episodes is back! (Y)

Enlisted isn't that bad. That's just The Finder and KEITH DAVID love probably though.

Still all in on The Blacklist.

White Collar finally found a legitimate villain, yay!

Community was getting better with each episode, third one was amazing, but despite Boyd last one was weak. (Most shocking thing, they might get that sixth season after all lol)

Speaking of let downs, Psych's second episode after that amazing season premiere.

Even without Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino? Not sure if I like the Jeff-centric episodes

Episodes has been freaking hilarious so far, Carol is pretty much the funniest character on TV. Shameless and House of Lies have also been phenomenal as usual.
I'll probably watch The Following now it's back, it's actually not bad at all.
