CBS is actually showing faith in Elementary by keeping in on Thursday and giving it the 2.5 Men lead-in (instead of a risky new comedy). They probably need the show to stay strong a season or so longer before unceremoniously dumping it at Sundays or Fridays at 10 pm to ride out to syndication. But yes, I'm really

There was one really good episode this season that demonstrates Caroline's gradual growth and that was the puppet master episode. That one was just off the walls crazy. Instead of having Max tell us jokes about Brooklyn weirdos they actually SHOWED us one and the result was completely insane. It was also very relevant

SHIELD is in the right place. The three spots it could have gone to were Sundays at 9 (or 8 if they bumped OUAT), Tuesdays at 8 or 9, and Thursdays at 8. The first faces football, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, etc while the last faces Big Bang Theory. NCIS is by far the weakest competition. I didn't think ABC would

Or, for information, ask any Ukrainian friend about it. I guarantee you they have relatives there. 
Also, the best perogies this side of Lviv

Bring back all the guest stars.

I mean, New Normal, Smash, and Partners deserved to be canceled for being bad, unfunny, low-rated tv shows. The rest of the shows may have featured gay characters, but that isn't why they were canceled. Take Go On, for example, which the Slate article talks about. Anne wasn't originally written as a lesbian character,

And Brienne is his Juliet. A badass blonde who gets things done but also brings out the best in him.

I was really hoping they would get Lyndsy Fonseca to play the mother. She plays his future daughter, but the actress is old enough now to be his slightly younger wife. I mean, have you seen her on Nikita?

I think doubling down on comedy for Tuesdays is smart. NBC has pulled out of the Tuesday night comedy traffic jam for the fall, and it will be interesting to see what ABC does. Fox wants to make that night their night and they are betting on a Super Bowl-fueled New Girl to anchor it.

Mindy is the most frustrating show to watch. My favorite episode was the pilot. That was a show I looked forward to. What we got instead is just a hot mess, and likely a canceled one at that by the end of season two based on the 1.3 demo ratings it pulls

Thoughts on Season 2 in general and the finale:

When Melisandre talked about how the Lord of Light helped her rise out of slavery, it had me worried Daenerys might get roped into all that. Very similar messages of freedom, destiny, and equality, but also respect and devotion towards greater beings like the Lord of Light or the dragons

I was really hoping either Jaime or Brienne would push Locke into the pit with the bear just for the hell of it

Welcome to the Family, Sean Saves the World, Undateable, Family Guide will all fail. Some of them might manage to stay on the air before dying off like Guys with Kids did, but they will all fail. I bet after three weeks, nothing on Thursday for NBC manages to even crack 2.0. They are going to regret the blind

lmao I meant Dateline. Don't take back your like though.

NBC's Fall Schedule:
Mondays: The Voice
Tuesdays: The Voice
Wednesdays: The Voice
Thursdays: The Voice Results show, The Office reruns
Fridays: The Voice Clip Show, Grimm, Deadline
Saturday: The Voice reruns
Sunday: Sunday Night Football, The Voice reruns, Celebrity Apprentice (because this will never die)

Probably, but this is ABC. One word titled soapy shows are their area of expertise.

Debut: 1.7 rating in 18-49 demographic
Episode 2: 1.4
Episode 3: 1.2
Episode 4: 1.0 and canceled

I really want a police procedural starring Tricia Helfer as a badass solving crimes. Killer Woman does not feel like that show.

I'm too sad to even make a good bird autopsy joke
