I dunno, maybe I'm a little fucked up in the head or something but I thought this was a pretty solid sitcom pilot. It's not side-splitting funny or anything, but has a relaxed, confident vibe to it. I'd call it the second best network sitcom pilot of the fall '13-spring '14 TV season after Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I

This was super, super painful. It might actually be, if not the worst new sitcom of the fall '13-spring '14 season, the one I had the hardest time sitting through. It radiates noxious levels of cheese from every pore. It makes The Michael J. Fox Show look sharp and edgy, and I hate The Michael J. Fox Show. I would go

I hope Switched at Birth doesn't get cut - not only is it the place for Switched at Birth discussion, but the comment sections there also double as The Fosters comments sections, so it would be losing like losing two show forums in one. Also a shame about Revolution, which has gotten a lot better this season. Don't

Oh yeah, how could I forget Dallas? One of the latest and most shocking revivals of all.

Futurama a middling mediocrity? Bite your tongue, Mr. Q Dooshbaghe!

Hey hey now, I'm all about more 24. Don't be lumpin' the Jack Bauer Power Hour in with the atrocity of post-S1-Heroes.

Modern post-cancellation/ending TV revivals (with the original cast and continuity, so not The Fugitive or Addams Family or The Last Airbender, etc.):

I have to assume this was inspired by the excitement over the 24 sequel miniseries. NBC missed the key fact that people actually still have fond memories of 24 and would like to see Jack Bauer again. No one wants to see the Heroes again.

I'm not normally one to get a hard-on over an explosion, but that final explosion was aweeesome - the way it bent the sides of and then burst like a flamethrower out the back of the truck was pure greatness. It made me think of the hospital explosion in The Dark Knight.

You're so right - Banshee has been bringing it. I'm excited as hell come each Friday for the week's new episode. Just about every show with fight sequences (except Arrow, anyway) should study and learn from this show's INSANE fight choreography. With 99% reliability every Banshee fight scene gets rewinded by me and

Well if that header image doesn't scream "canceled in six episodes" I don't know what does.

Well, I don't know about "scandalized," but for years in my youth I watched a VHS of Back to the Future my parents recorded from TV, so certain lines were dubbed over differently. "You're gonna see some serious shit" became "You're gonna see some serious stuff," Biff going "I'm gonna get that son of a bitch" became

The constant explaining of Jesus' absence from scenes was hilarious.

He also played a white supremacist terrorist in White House Down.

"Well, MJF is surely the biggest ratings bomb in modern broadcast network history to complete a 22-episode season."

Not only is it awesome, but, unlike The Matrix, it's being allowed to live without having its legacy soiled by lesser sequels. Yay!

Well, I'm certainly more likely to rewatch it if I just want something to kick back and have fun with.

I do enjoy Defiance. I'm kind of shocked S1 hasn't popped up on Netflix instant yet. If Syfy wants more people to discover the show that's the way to do it.

The CW is super-committed to their sci-fi/genre shows these days - Star-Crossed, Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Supernatural, Arrow, The Tomorrow People, The 100 next month, The Flash in the fall. Kind of ironic how much more committed to sci-fi they are than Syfy.

I'm really, really bothered by the fact that the British guy is still wandering around having a little romantic storyline with vomit still coating the inside of his mouth, and will apparently be doing so for the rest of the season. Piece of gum? No, dude, go home and fucking wash that shit out with listerine.
