Up All Night, Terra Nova, and the New Girl all delivered as promised. The comedies have really attractive stars to boot.

There is a great series on PBS this week on Prohibition. It describes the movements before Prohibiton was enacted and the problems with enforcement. In addition, one can see where Blue911 gets his avatar.

I think amazon should have it on streaming for free if you have prime, if you watch it, give it a season, the show took a little while to really find it's footing, but once it did, it was one of the funniest series ever (that no one watched)

UMD, I like Kyle Chandler and FNL as much as anyone, but Jon Hamm got so screwed. His performance in season 4 of Mad Men was untouchable.

Also, I finally started watching Arrested Development, halfway through the first season ... it's hilarious.

They mentioned blue911's avatar's slogan last night and my ears perked up! I agree, good series, finishes tonight. Watching all the video of agents smashing booze is depressing, though.

I lost all respect for South Park with their latest episode.

Why?

I thought it was pretty accurate as to how a kid would feel after their parents got divorced.

The running Aspergers gag was lame and probably in poor taste... but that's what South Park does.

As for what I said before the thread got chopped.

"Blindside was the black kid that played tight end."

"Offensive Line."

"Fine, the African American kid."

Anyone watch American Horror Story?

That was some freaky crap.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #1863 on:** October 06, 2011, 01:51:03 pm »

linty, i've heard mixed reviews on AHS. I have it DVR'd and looking forward to checking it out hopefully tonight.

Didn't watch South Park yet.

Precisely why I will no longer watch the show. They practically used to gag to downplay the issue and do not understand what people with asperger's go through. Unless you have it, you do not know what it is like and it is extremely frustratingly when people constantly downplay because they don't understand what you are going through.

But how many other taboo topics have they done that on... and you probably laughed at it?

I feel like with shows like South Park... people find them funny when they pick on others... as long as they don't touch on a topic that is important to you (not you specifically, of course) and then you throw your arms in the air and declare it crossed a line.

that was the straw the broke the camels back, after all of the other conditions/religions/ethnicities they've mocked?

Started watching the first episode last night on Netflix, this show is so badazz.

The Homeland pilot was freaking amazing. I'm looking forward to what this show has to offer.

I really wanted to check out American Horror Story last night but I was busy studying. I hope its On Demand.

The League starts up again tonight after Sunny!

I also missed Workaholics and Tosh this week as well as the South Park

Another reason why I'm going to subscribe to netflix again. I really need to see this show.

I hate to say this, but I think Modern Family is getting less funny. Although the "Stella!" scene was pretty good.

Can hardly wait for The League.

That's exactly what it is. I love the show for how far it goes to do pick on everything.

I just watched last nights ep on South Park Studios. It definitely seems like a different route they're going since his birthday ep. Sort of weird.
