I watched the pilot of that HBO show "Girls" last night because I remember reading that it was nominated for a bunch of stuff. It was weird, probably won't continue to any more episodes.

i don't know anything about this show other than it's about girls, and the one main girl is apparently naked all the time. but judging from every commercial i've seen from it, i can't imagine myself every enjoying a second of it.

Sounds like I could imagine myself enjoying at least a few seconds of it.

Is the main girl the unattractive one?

[Idoit40fans]

Oh.

Criminal minds...

Spoiler:

Their lead in might lead you to believe there might have been a twist with Mave and Reed... but...

Spoiler:

...no.

I've watched the first 4 episodes and i still don't know if I like it, im pretty sure it is exactly what most girls life's are like, and while that can be interesting, it is also mentally exhausting watching the drama

I tried it -- wasn't a fan.

Parenthood is one of the best shows on network TV. Another great season. Not ashamed to admit it makes me cry on a semi-frequent basis.

My wife enjoys it also...she was weepy during the last few episodes. It's on my long queue of shows to watch....but will it get renewed?

Not to make a separate post, but there has been some Dexter casting news. Charlotte Rampling will play "a neuro-psychiatrist who specializes in working with young psychopaths and profiling criminals in unorthodox ways."

Spoiler:

Harrison?

Also, Sean Patrick Flanery will play a private investigator of some sort.

The producers want this, the eighth season, to be the last....but Showtime hasn't said anything yet.

The final episodes of X-Play and Attack of the Show aired yesterday.

Attack of the Show was incredibly lame, but X-Play was very satisfying imo.

The Chris Hardwick hosted flashback episodes were a better send-off than the actual last episode.

Watching that tonight. So please post spoilers if you are going to talk about it!

did anyone watch american horror story finale?

I did. Surprised no one else is talking about it. I found it a little anti-climactic, just like the season 1 finale. They seem to start out great and then run out of steam/ideas.

Seriously? I'll be glad to write a quick recap, but don't want to ruin it if you're joking.

Girls is like a sitcom to me. People getting into unrealistic shenanigans and acting abhorrent with no apparent consequences. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a little like Seinfeld for annoying hipsters.

Ripper Street on BBC America.

Stuck to the end of "Last Resort" and really glad they gave it a proper somewhat closed ending and did not leave it on a open note like they did with "V" a couple of years back.

I may be the only one, but I've actually enjoyed 1600 Penn so far. I don't think it has a long life in it's future, but I've found it to be good.

[Idoit40fans]

I've either heard a couple of people say that or just you multiple times, but it makes me want to try it again, even though I hated what I saw of the one episode.

This is only the second time I stated it, so either multiple means 2 or you heard others state it.

[Idoit40fans]

Multiple means 2.

[newarenanow]

Multiple means 2.

So it could only be my opinion then.

[Idoit40fans]

Haha either way, my original point stands, i'm interested in checking it out again.
