I was the same. Then I actually got to it and popped in the first DVD. Two weeks later I had finished all five seasons.
Now it's probably my favourite series of all time
LMAO @ who gossip girl was all along.
Will Oscar have Riva Fever?
The Internet has been pointing out both how many logical flaws/plot holes one would have to accept to be okay with the result. Plus, Gossip Girl abuses the characters for years and gets a happy ending. But all the major couples in the end are horribly disturbing because of the terrible ways they treat each other.
I pretty much checked out completely (except for Blair/Dan scenes after hearing the buzz online about them) after they kicked my favorite character Jenny off the show. I'm not gonna say that that's why other audience members left, but that was in fact when the show fell into bad ratings. Though the show hasn't had actually Good ratings since the episode when Bart died in 2008 - which is I feel the episode the show jumped the shark and became not a good show. I actually found the show to be an addictively guilty pleasure for a year and a half, but it never really recovered after Bart died despite certain moments and flashes of the earlier quality.

I know probably none of you care about Survivor, but it just ended one of its best seasons with an utterly fantastic winner. Amazingly, the concept still has a ton of life in it.

Apparently there's something called Amish Mafia. I love how formerly educational networks are delving more and more into sensationalism disguised as info-tainment - Discovery, History Channel, A&E. It's working quite well too, as they often top overnight cable ratings.

Excited!
A little tease of the Bob's Burgers/Archer crossover:
Can't wait!
So...it's not a good thing that ABC is going to be running through 2 episodes of Happy Endings per week this spring, is it?
I guess it'll be nice while we're getting them, but yeah, long-term that definitely doesn't sound good.
Also, I'm pretty sure Jason Katims has made it his personal mission to make me into Veritas (love ya!) while watching every episode of Parenthood this season. I just watched the last 5 episodes between last night and today. Jesus Christ.
I knew this last episode was going to be hard to watch when I started crying...from the thirty second teaser of it attached to the episode before it. LMFAO.
One of the many, many things that baffles me about you is that you remain un-murdered.
Digging this back up, because I have finally found time to rush through the season. Absolutely fucking amazing. Hilarious as ever, and spot on in its criticism of politics. This is top tier television, up there with the likes of The Wire or The Sopranos, or any of those big name shows. The way this show manages to be so sharply satirical, yet at the same time keep all its characters, no matter how backstabbing and incompetent they all are, so humane without resorting to stereotyping is incredible. This is almost as much a drama as it is a comedy, certainly in this season.
The Inquiry episode is probably one of the best hours of television I have ever seen, because it embarrassingly shows these people for what they're really are, and then you're thinking, "Hey, I've seen these kind of stumbling, bumbling, lying people on the news." And then in the final five minutes, when Malcolm Tucker in all seriousness explains how politics works (and I'll reiterate that I think this show is closer to the truth than any other 'political' show ever) and why it works like that, and why people like him are needed, turning the tables on the inquirers, the episode is raised to a level of awesome rarely attained by any show. And all of that in 60 minutes of just people being interrogated by a panel of four people.

Hmm...I don't know. They actually did this it's first season at least once that I can remember - I believe when it premiered mid-season.
But...at this point in it's run...it kinda reeks of trying to burn off excess eps right before cancellation though I sure hope not. I don't understand why this show is not as big as Friends or something.
No, it's not good for Happy Endings. The ratings have been abysmal.
I watched the entire first season of Girls over the past couple days. Consider me a big fan.
The AV Club mentioned something about TBS being interested in grabbing Happy Endings to pair with Cougar Town if ABC doesn't order any more episodes.
Love this.
Things I've learned when TV isn't doing new episodes:
- Duck Dynasty is surprisingly easygoing and fun, and super addictive.
- I need to stop watching Sherlock on an endless loop.
- Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt might be the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life, but damn if I don't love it.

God, that's fucking ridiculous.
