Same.

Also, I agree that this show isn't something I have to keep watching episode after episode. I'm fine watching an episode and waiting a few days for another. Nothing against the quality, it just doesn't bring the same urgency as something like BB.

We should go on a date then....

Recorded "Last man on earth". I like will forte and have some hope for this. But it being on network tv is a problem.

Can you imagine a politician saying what Underwood said about entitlements? :drool:

In any event, he's totally going to push this AmericaWorks thing, which definitely sounds like something fiscal conservatives would love, and he will run as a Republican (against Jackie?) in 2016. Totally guessing though.

Downton Abbey finale was pretty good, thought last week was the high point, but this was a nice enjoyable watch. Great season.

I recorded it too. I don't expect it to last long though.

I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes last night. I had no expectations, just curious as to where a series could go with uh, the last man on earth.

The only reason I watched it was because my sons - 8 and 6 - thought the commercials during American Idol (

) were hysterical. They begged my wife and I to watch to see if it was appropriate for them (it isn't). I gave them a ridiculously detailed report on it this morning at breakfast, and they both said they couldn't wait to be in middle school, so they could watch it.

It has the potential to be the most bizarre thing on network TV, and I hope Fox lets it play out that way.

Also, I watched a few minutes of Battle Creek - the new CBS Vince Gilligan show. Dean Winters (Mayhem or O'Reilly from Oz) and Josh Duhamel stars in it. Bryan Singer directed the pilot. It looks interesting, but I'm not sure I want another hour long drama in my life. Did anyone else watch it?

I have a feeling, without knowing anything about it, that Last Man on Earth will defeat its premise early and there will be a second person on earth. I have no idea why that kind of thing bugs me so much, but it's the same issue I had with Under The Dome, when, you know, they kept introducing new characters and could come and go.

Oh, nevermind, just looked on Wiki. There are 6 people listed as cast. I'm out.

Do you ever look at a woman and think, "I wonder what she looks like naked..." Nothing sexual, nothing perverse, just curiosity more than anything... well in this show that curiosity gets answered for pretty much every character.

Well as soon as the show started I thought that about Laura Prepon. So I guess I should continue watching. My wife on the other hand doesn't care for raunchy

you could have flashbacks and hallucinations accounting for that, but i agree that the premise will break pretty quickly.

For the longest time I thought Bill Hader was Will Forte and I don't know why.

i liked it. i know they can't be that patient on fox, but i could have spent a whole season just watching him do weird stuff by himself

i enjoyed Last Man on Earth, but i also love Will Forte and Kristen Schaal to a ridiculous degree.

Also, a small part of me now wants a margarita pool. the part of me that doesn't think too hard about stuff.

Watched the finale last night. Overall, the season was much better than the last one. But, the whole Bates, will he, won't he go to jail is completely played out. For one, he's hardly even in the story line anymore, and when he is, he just struts around like a hard-ass and is pretty unbearable. Early on it was easy to pull for him, but at best one would be indifferent to his plight, now it's like...whatever, put him jail who cares.

Branson leaving the show will be a loss, but at some point this season they just turned all of his scenes to a sappy "I love you guys" ode to the family.

I watched Last Man on Earth. Kristen Schall's character is so completly annoying. I also realized she is the voice actor for Mabel Pines on Gravity Falls.

How was that? I wanted to check it out but forgot to record it.

I caught up on the last few days of TV tonight. The series premiere of Gangland Undercover was good. Seems like a very well put together show. Not sure how I felt about this week's Gotham. Now to get amped up for the return of Agents of SHIELD.

I enjoyed this week's Gotham.

Lots of progression for Gordon.

Little hint of affection between Bruce and Catgirl.

Weird "frankenstein" monster in the doctor's lab.

Finished House of Cards last night. I had it on almost all day Monday when I was working from home.

Just started watching Supernatural. What a fantastic show so far. Flash, Arrow, Supernatural...I think I'm becoming a CW junkie...

Spoiler:
Claire. Ugh. What did she honestly expect? She wants a seat at the big boy table but doesn't have the expertise or foresight to navigate the smallest of international affairs. Frank has spent decades sharpening his political tools and making smart plays to get to where he is, while Claire was doing...what exactly? Does she want to be the President so she can **** that up too? What does she ACTUALLY want to accomplish? I just don't get her motives.

Spoiler:
I like the way they humanized Frank this season, but he comes across like a different character than in the previous two. It's like he secured the Presidency, then had no plan or vision to what he wanted to accomplish when he got there. It doesn't help that on his way to the top he alienated virtually every single politician in Washington. I thought it was telling even Freddy didn't care about his bull**** anymore. Despite having all the power, this season he has none. His eventual "fall" won't drag out over a whole season (it will be swift, maybe by a bullet) and possibly be proceeded by an ascension to securing real power (reelection?).

Saw part of the 2nd ep of Last Man on Earth last night. It was airing on Fox Sports 1 of all places. I think it was ok enough to go back and watch the pilot on Hulu but haven't done it yet.

New Girl: A very strange episode, mostly disconnected from itself.

Backstrom: A largely forgettable episode. I wasn't really paying enough attention.
