"me too" on Orphan Black but dang it's getting to be where I hope each new show that debuts is mediocre or outright blows, because I need time for A LIFE…My dirty secret is that I watch as much as I can at work, on a second computer…everyone knows that's what those second monitors are for, right?

or Fingerprint File!

I'm enjoying this series so far, but it took me a little while to get into last night's episode for a sort of trivial reason but one that always bugs me:

Maybe the reviewer is right about this book, but still - Bernie Taupin.

If the next time I play "Elephants" I think of this show, I'll….well I don't know what I'll do, but I'll be upset, let me tell you. Real upset.

I am hoping for a Justified spin-off called "Duffy and Mike On the Road."  Week by week we will follow them as they roll into some new locale and try to make some money off whatever nefarious doings they can identify. At the end of every show, we'll laugh as either they just escape in time or are actually driven out…

I admire the craft of Enlightened but the season finale went exactly where I personally didn't want it go to. Minority opinion on here! It played out for me like a wish fulfillment for a delusional wreck of a person. Apparently the show's title is unironic?

I thought last night's episode was fine too but I have a pointless zombie question - with follow-ups:

The Korean dramas I have seen can be criticized in myriad ways - they are often cornball, rely on the worst plotting devices (one I'm watching now is using the old "temporary amnesia" gambit), and they are, for the most part, sexy while actually being fairly sexless.

I watched season 1 of Enlightened in a binge sometime last year, on HBOGO, and am glad to follow it this year. But I don't think I'll care all that much if it gets cancelled.

I love the line from When Nature Calls as Ventura reacts in horror to the villain's room of mounted animal heads then forces a smile and says, "You have a beautiful room of death!"

Duffy certainly has a very loyal bodyguard/lieutenant. I have a feeling that if something bad happens to the bodyguard we'll see Duffy react a bit more emotionally than he did to getting FBI brain on him.

I don't particularly care for the character of Skyler, and I have not seen Anna Gunn in anything else (that I recall). I don't think, however, that a different actress would make me like Skyler more, and I also don't think Skyler - considered as a "real" person - would give a damn about being likeable. She's in a kind

Wow. Too bad this article couldn't be written without the writer looking like a total jerk…

I'm so glad none of these people are in my life, and no one like them is either…

And The Avengers had one of 1960s television's best credit sequences and theme music. And that's a decade with a lot of great credit sequences/themes…

Minority opinion (on here): The Mindy Project is a really good, funny show and Happy Endings - really hyped on here - well, not so good for me. HE feels frantic and forced. Mindy Project is hardly original but its relaxed approach actually makes me laugh more, and I like the actors. I have (had?) the same problem with

A study of the effect of rejection? It made me feel unwanted…study over!  Can I go play now?

There's no coronation. A lot of people liked Channel Orange a lot. And other people liked other things even better. I'm one of those who really liked Channel Orange. It's nice it sold pretty well. It got nominated for some Grammies, which means absolutely nothing to me. It won the VV poll, which means absolutely

Nothing witty to add just want to note this was one of the funniest half hours of TV I have seen in a while…and while I have enjoyed Portlandia since it started, it hasn't really made me laugh out loud that much. This episode did…
