    Really love this show, it's one of my new favorite sitcoms as well. However, I do think there needs to be more of a focus on what's going on at work like with The Office or Parks and Rec. Right now the characters are just sort of…floating. But it's really funny so far, so that's enough till it finds its legs.

    The show is funnier this week, but for some reason it's just not registering as FUNNY to me. And for the record, I thought the band reference in 2 Broke Girls was kinda awkward, but still laughed out loud at the show more than this. I laughed out loud more at Modern Family tonight too.

    Never in my life have I seen someone as seriously whacked out on reality TV as Brandon. This is including that guy who held a knife to a woman's throat on the first season of Big Brother. This includes the girl who claimed she was raped by being dragged across the floor in a sleeping bag on Real World's second season.

    I would really enjoy that show being on Netflix instant.

    Definitely not in the campy DSM style. I'd say "Pan Am" is more like this. This is pretty fun though, so if you could go for a show like DSM with more of a mystery element instead of camp, I'd try it.

    Getty had a little bit more sleaze going for him, but I see where you're going and I like it.

    REALLY liked this pilot. It's a good nighttime soap, but more in the vein of something like "Pasadena" than the lighter, campier ones like "Melrose Place." I enjoy both kinds, so I'm eager to see how this develops and how it shakes out after Emily's initial revenge plot wraps up. There were some pretty fun double

    The whole "Stranger in the House of Love" recapping on the phone thing is hilarious to me every time they do it. I'm hoping it's a full 10 minute ramble by the season finale.

    I certainly hope Sarah Michelle Gellar gets to shout at Juliette on the roof of their apartment, "WHAT DRUGS?!?!"

    I kept hoping that after SMG cleaned up the seeping blood, she'd have to return every five minutes to keep doing it. Because otherwise… blood isn't going to stop leaking from a trunk after you kleenex it once.

    I've never watched "Covert Affairs," but I just had a look and WOW those are tacky. But they still seem to have more effort put into them than just "here's a picture of everyone in the main cast over the title!" It's like a bad 90s thriller movie poster or something.

    I really wish this show would embrace the camp that can come in a full-on soap. This show had none of it. I have no idea how someone with two people who want them dead, an affair with a best friend's husband, a faked pregnancy and a drug using daughter-in-law can be so BORING. Even keeping the body in the trunk was

    This was like some bad fanfic for an episode of American Dreams. With the singers playing real people and all of this faux nostalgia. God was this show a mess. The murder came out of NOWHERE. It honestly feels like Friday Night Lights in season 2, or any other soap where a mystery is shoehorned in at the expense of

    I thought the show was pretty hilarious. Sure, it's a little corny and not all of the jokes hit, but something about it really clicked with me. I think it could grow into a hilarious show (minus the Asian boss) and I'll keep watching it.

    Sunday on ABC after Desperate Housewives.

    It's a really fun pilot, I'd agree with Todd's recommendation of it.

    Wow. This was amazing. I was worried this fall season would amount to a lot of boring shows, the dramas I've seen that have aired so far are — but this is great. Looking forward to more.

    Never really got into Supernatural, I keep telling myself that I'll do it whenever all the seasons are on Netflix after the series finale airs.

    I'd never put this in the class of 90210 or Gossip Girl I guess, because I watch those regularly as well and they're a mess storywise and character wise. TVD characters stay consistent, 90210 changes its characters mid-episode for a plot twist and GG never lets its characters evolve past their basic archetypes.

    I mentioned that it's up there with cable shows and I stand by that statement. I will always commend network television dramas that are intelligent and manage to be compelling for multiple episodes amidst network restraints. And I do think that something can be "up there" with cable quality even if it's no Breaking
