I saw the first episode of "Cougar Town" and laughed so hard my gut hurt. The second episode was disapointing (isn't it always?) and I haven't seen it since.

Yeah, but this was a long time coming, the ratings had been bad for awhile, so ya can't be too surprised.

That was great!

They hit all the major beats from the decade of tuff guy action movies. They had the die-hard references with the gun taped to the back, the crazy scar-face machine gun death scene, they hit them all.

Something about that show really gets my giggles going.

I really got a kick out of the episode where the high-schoolers were ragging on them and they had an epic war of "Duh" in the lunch room.

Good show.

Good news everyone!

Futurama is back on the air! Thursdays! Comedy central!

YaY!!! Futurama! I love those guys. I am watching Caprica too, and hoping they come back from hiatus.... We just wrapped up Flash Forward (We don't watch much, we TiVo what we like and watch them as we have time) And V is still in our queue waiting for us to get back to the tv. This has been a crazy, hectic month, not even any time for biking since gardening must take precedence for the moment. Soon, the garden will be mostly waiting for the vegetables to grow and weeding, and then we can have other interests again :)

20 years is a crazy long time. And I was proud of ER for making it 15 seasons. I was actually about to watch Flash Forward online last night, but then I read that it had been canceled. Now I'm not sure if I want to take the time to watch knowing I'll be left hanging. Lately I've been getting into the Canadian-based dramas. They're producing better material than the US lately. There's barely anything on tv worth watching anymore aside from reality tv (though I do indulge in the occasional reality show like The Bachelor(ette). :D

Yuppers. I'd heard good things said about it, so I was gonna watch it. I probably won't now. :(
