SPOILER WARNING: Prestige Television Discussion

[vansmack]

All of it. Marissa could not tell when a guy was a scumbag to save her life.

Chili and Sadie were more "what the hell is this person doing on this show" in my opinion than Oliver. I loved the way Oliver said "crudites," by the way.

That's it.  I'm watching this again when I'm done with the West Wing.

American Network TV can really learn a lot from UK TV.  So many shows suffer from their seasons being to long, actors getting tied into long contracts.  Shorten up the seasons and kill off a character if the actor wants off the show.  Far to much dilation and shows losing the plot over time.  Revolution is a prime example...

I agree. See: Black Mirror.

You mean they can learn how to be extremely boring,slow moving, and without any humor?  I can think about 3 British shows in the history of television that are even remotely watchable.  And for BBC shows maybe one.   "The inbetweeners" was my favorite British show I have seen but they only had 6 episodes a year for 3 years.  What can't they do a little better than 6 shows?  And I think the last season was kind of weak.  Todd Margaret was funny the first season but the second season was awful. 

The New Girl was extremely funny last night.  I like the ending with the basketball jerseys.  Mindy project was decent as well.

Peep show was very funny for most of its long run.

Did I miss the Twin Peaks discussion?

I stopped watching New Girl.  Maybe I need to start back up again.

GoT starts in April!  Will we then get a 6th book?  One can only hope.

Anyone start True Detectives?  Liking it so far.

This minute is all you need to watch with "True Detective".  The rest you can make up in your mind:

What did everyone think of the hour long Sam & Cat tonite with all the guest stars? Really interesting social mores discussed.

So glad Dan Harmon is back writing Community.  This weeks episode "Bon Voyage" with a game of Lava was brilliant.  Also, hope they release Aimee Mann's version of "Come Sail Away".

I was sick over the weekend so I discovered the show Glee on Netflix yesterdy.  I managed to watch the first six episodes yesterday.  What a great TV show.  Why did you guys tell me about this?  Oh well 82 more to watch.

So...The Following!  Amirite?

[James Ford]

Has Kevin Bacon been relegated to doing television because Casey Affeck now gets all the roles Kevin used to get?

So...The Following!  Amirite?
