Just watched the last two HIMYM and they were both atrocious.

You can tell that they are out of ideas, but need to kill time before they get into the actual meeting of the mother story line, which probably won't happen until February or March.

So we probably have another 2 or 3 months of just filler type of episodes until they get into what people actually are waiting for (at least long time fans who want to know).

Is it just me or is him meeting the mother going to me a major letdown? I mean we already know he meets here at that wedding and its just going to be some random chick. I don't really see what the big deal is.

You are right, the show has become a parody of itself. If they were smart they would somehow try and make Topanga the mom and have it tie in with the new girl meets world show coming out, that or make it Canaans lover from the strange news thread...

TIL Michael Emerson(Ben Linus from lost) is married to Carrie Preston (Arleen from True Blood) IRL

I agree. I think if the would have done it last season or the season before, it would have worked out well. But the show started to get stale, and now that they have committed to showing the mother reveal for this season, I think a lot of the luster has been lost because the show has run out of ideas and was running on fumes for the past 2 seasons. Everyone is going to hype up the reveal to make up for the lack of quality for the past 2 years and then be disappointed.

What I really dislike about the type of comedy that HIMYM is showing lately is that everything is so outrageously unrealistic it has lost it's funny side. Like the episode that just aired with Barney and the strip clubs. All of them trying to bribe him to be their new patron. Yeah, like that would ever happen in real life.

Anyone watch the Office last night? Honestly, I thought it was one of the better ones in a long time.

i have it dvr'ed but chose to watch parks and rec last night. that show makes me laugh...even if swanson's shtick is a little tired for me.

the office has been very watchable lately

i'm really glad they completely overhauled the nelly character. she's been a plus.

Yeah, I like Nelly this season. I hated last season, but now I can stand watching her this season. They actually did a good job with her.

On the other hand, I hate what they've done with The Nard Dog, his character has been annoying, and now that he is on his boat ride and has missed the last 2 episodes, I've actually enjoyed them more.

Watching "SNL: The Best of John Belushi"...

They have him doing his Samurai character making fun of Saturday Night Fever, and OJ was playing a priest... That may be the most unintentionally funny thing I've seen lately.

Parks and Rec is the best comedy for me right now. Swanson is a little tired, but still makes me laugh.

Watched the pilot of American horror story. Not sure what the make of this

First season was very good, IMO...but it did take a few episodes to establish what was going on with who...and why. Worth sticking with...if for no other reason than Connie Britton and 'young maid'.

[the wicked child]

Definitely one of the best "finishing moves" on Person of Interest yet. <3 this show.

I started S01E01 this afternoon and I'm 1/2 way through E04... I'm diggin it...same kinda silly horror, mixed in with some solid casting

For sarcastic:

If my wife is 1/2 as breathtaking at 45 as Connie Britton is, I'm set.

Spoiler:

wtf was up w the gimp suit? Was it Dylan McDermott and supposed to symbolize the demon seed inside her?

HIMYM:

- another bland episode IMO. Robin and Lilly story lines were just pretty much overreacting (I know it's doen in a lot of shows, but I've noticed the longer a show goes, the harder the actor/character becomes and overthe top version of themselves, expamples are Joey from Friends and Homer Simpson).

- it's getting a little more into the Robin Barney hookup now, so at least that was one step in the right direction.

- it's goign to be a long 5 or 6 episodes IMO until they get to the Ted Mother storyline.

Burning Love web episodes on yahoo with Ken Marino is great. Not sure how I missed it, but the entire 1st season is over, they are 8 minutes long and you'll probably watch them all in 1 sitting.

Finished Battlestar Galactica. Great series, even if it dragged through season 3 into mid-season 4.

The Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome movie has been released on Youtube, via Machimina. Weird. I've watched the first few episodes, and it's pretty solid. Production values are higher than the series; my guess is that SyFy had high expectations for it, but didn't bother to air it.

i hate the barney character more every episode. they can't flirt with him having a serious story arc and then have 95% of the stuff he says come out as total nonsense. they've done this to robin, too. she's become a cartoon character. maybe it was intentional to make her and barney a more realistic couple.

I actually really enjoyed Barney during the first few seasons. But like I said, when it seems like a character becomes popular in a show, the writers then start overdoing things for that character, and around season 4 or so, Barney became like you said, a cartoon of himself.

And I agree, they seem to be doing teh same with Robin.

Seems to happen to some popular characters on long running shows. My biggest disappoinment in this is Homer Simpson. Loved him from seasons 3-8, then he became the most popular Simpson over taking Bart, and then they ruined his character.

Gah, a remote controlled pacemaker? Does it have wifi? A little silly.

Doing some quick research, it looks like it might be possible, if the guy was within 50 ft. of the pacemaker.

I really liked BSG, but never heard of this thing until now. Seems like all the actors are different. I guess I'll try to catch the first episode and see if it's any good.

I don't know who she is, but she looks damn fine at 45. And I see you're a fan of the freckle. It's been growing on me since I took a note of Erin Heatherton and the mega ginger, Cintia Dicker. I kinda ignored the freckled female in the past.
