Really enjoying Suits. Not the sort of thing I'd usually watch but the characters are great and I'm finding them interesting. Also there's little side plots developing which is always good.

You're missing out.

Episode 1 was surprisingly great.
Oh god that tampon scene.

I love Curb but I was underwhelmed by the season opener. Larry seemed like he was a caricature of himself in that one, with the show trying too hard. Louie's kicking Curb's ass so far.

I love the US version of Top Gear, I really do.

It might not be as good as the original, but Tanner Foust and the other two are awesome hosts.

im not a fan of british accents to be honest. i can only take it for so long. australian accents dont bother me that much.

NTSF:SD:SUV is great. Might be better than Eagleheart.

But Childrens Hospital is amazing so it should have been expected.

Adventure time season 3 is EPIC. you're never too old to watch a show like Adventure time, must-see for those who haven't

God this is such a good show.

Thank god, I thought USA was losing it.

omg Penn and Teller: Fool Us is amazing.

And with the hat trick I will discuss new shows since it's that time rather than make a thread for them.

Always Sunny swung for the fences with the premiere, but this is going to be about new shows.

Free Agents - I don't really understand what this show is supposed to be about yet. Apparently it is another UK transplant with Giles being in both. Hank Azaria's actually a good actor though, which gets overshadowed by his Simpsons fame, so I'll give this a few more episodes. Someone watch the UK series and post if it's nothing but stupid relationship crap. A comedy about a PR firm, now that's comedy!

Up All Night - Pretty sure this show exists just to preserve the careers of the three leads. (Oh, and as yet another product of the Lorne Michaels farm system.) They somewhat kicked the legs out at the end of the very first episode. If any of these survive to a second season it's probably this one. Parents love watching shows about being parents!

Whitney - A laugh track? Wait, really? Based on the first episode they should ditch the rest of the characters unless they're going to keep showing up in sexy outfits and fishnets, let Jonathan go back to being Jack's secretary and center the entire program around the alcoholic drug abusing divorcee who has been harmed by everyone in her life. Now that's comedy!

Sad to see all the summer shows go. Miss having like 8 or 9 shows that I actually like to watch. Now all that's left is the last few Breaking Bads (yay) and Weeds (which is a bad show).

Looking forward to The Walking Dead and Bored To Death though.

[[Q]]

yeah Walking Dead is one of a few shows I'm looking forward to coming back. others are HIMYM, Community, & Dexter

Wilfred just ended with an interesting twist, and i guess futurama is on another hiatus

one new show i do wanna check out is 2 broke girls, not because it's good but because in the early stages they had set out a casting call for a part that doesnt depict asian people very nicely. i wonder if theyve changed the part or not. ive seen a ton of commercials for prime suspect with maria bello and that's just a cancellation waiting to happen.

Sons Of Anarchy season four has been brilliant so far, really enjoying the excessive action compared to the first few episodes of the last few seasons.

Vampire Diaries started again and was good, also Nina Dobrev appears to have some sort of cleavage clause in her contract for this season which is tremendous news

I watched "H8R"... it was stupid and contrived but I would absolutely fuck the girl who hates Jake from The Bachelor, and Barry Bonds/Ron Artest/Charles Barkley are going to be on it which should be good.

True Blood season finale was great also

[buzzy]

Anybody watching Archer?

S3 premier was hilarious.

[Lamrock]

Archer's back?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[buzzy]

Yessir.

[JaoSming]

omg, 30 Rock is hilarious

[jettdaking!]

Hell's Kitchen 9 winner - Paul

dang, i thought Will won, he was never up for elimination

btw, when does Castle 3 come out?

[Lamrock]

Archer. just jackin' it...

[benji]

Boss is fucking awesome.

Penn & Teller: Tell A Lie. Not so much. I'll keep watching it in the background for Penn's voiceovers though. Great for during prep.

Let the streets run with shit.

The Walking Dead is back!

[Lamrock]

Had a great Summer lineup going that finally concluded earlier this month with Breaking Bad, so let's see how the replacement shows are doing.

Boardwalk Empire - Still can't get into this one. I really want to like it, with the actors and the production values, but it just isn't that interesting. Boredwalk Empire indeed.

How To Make It In America - I can't believe this might be the best show on this season. It's a lot like Entourage, but with a lower budget and less celebrities. (It's almost like a prequel to it) I think it's one of the only good shows HBO has going right now.

Enlightened - New HBO show - sucks

Bored To Death - This show was never all that good, but Ted Danson really started to carry it last year. Seems to have regressed back to not being funny this year.

The Walking Dead - AMC's best rated show but a distant third for best show. The show's been in decline since the excellent pilot and there are parts of it I don't like, but it's entertaining and well made. After the fiasco that was last year's season finale, I don't even miss Darabont.

The Office - When will I give up on this show completely?

Dexter - I watched the pilot but still need to get around to the other episodes. Last year's season finale seriously tempted me to not watch this season, but I know I'll end up watching it.

Archer - Only three episodes, but I'd trade all the other shows' seasons for a full one of Archer. Fucking hilarious.

[benji]

Boss is simply incredible. This could totally wind up as one of the best shows of all time and might be the best since The Wire ended.
