Manny's entire character was cute when he was a rolly little kid, but it would just be creepy at this point. Same with Luke. I didn't catch much of the most recent season of MF; I have it on my DVR. But the first few episodes that I did watch were, as you said, definitely trending downward.
I'm thinking of giving Black Sails on Starz a look. They're 1 or 2 episodes in, I believe. It looked like it had some potential, in trailers.
Otherwise, I basically watch The Big Bang Theory because my fiance likes it (and it consequently became one of "our" shows, which those of you who don't know yet, is a thing when you get married. I'm just glad it's not the Kardashians...). I'm probably 3 episodes from finishing the end of Season 1 of The Following (though my thought is, if I really wanted to watch the show, I would have finished those 3 episodes by now, right?). I watch American Horror Story, but am a few episodes behind. I really liked Season 1, didn't see a single episode of Season 2, but have found Season 3 entertaining thus far. I watch The League, which had a good, funny season this past one. The More Rafi and Dirty Randy, the better. The only other show I watch regularly and am fully up to date on is The Walking Dead, which I know a lot of people are critical of, but I find very enjoyable to watch. It also helps that my fiance is really into it, and that we can watch it together.
Modern Family had a good run. 4 great seasons. Most shows(like Community) don't even have that. When we look back, I guess Seinfeld was the most consistent sitcom in history.
Black Sails is awesome. The story is not that dark as you'd expect with the tag of "pirates", but it's a great show nonetheless. You might get a bit lost midway, but after the whole episode it will make sense.
The Following is a like a compilation of predictable twists & flawed characters. I quit after 5-6 episodes. And I just couldn't stand the antagonist. He over-reacted the shit out of the show.
I didn't watch American Horror Story after its pilot. I just felt that there were a lot of unnecessary scenes(a case for most HBO shows) and the story was not that intriguing.
I don't watch The League. Might check it out. But I have a lot of ongoing and unfinished shows as it is.
TWD, has over the years become the most mundane show on TV. Sooo much drama. The show was supposed to be about zombies, not Rick's son messing with his hairstyle and secretly/not so secretly using a gun and getting lectured over and over.
For you and your future Mrs, I would recommend HBO's True Detective. Certainly a mind-boggler and entertaining throughout the whole episode type of show. Though, you might find yourselves in an awkward position someway through the second episode.
Is this what your 30s is all about? Trying to watch shows that both you and your spouse can tolerate enough to watch together?
Dear God I hope not. Come on man, you are scaring me to age

To me the TWD was great only in its first 3 episodes. After that, I was like where are the freaking zombies? Please don't make it a full drama, keep some action there as well.
i dunno why i even bother with TWD
