I was one of the people keeping his fingers crossed for a second 13 episode order but even as I was crossing them I knew it was too much to hope for. Ratings wise—the show shrank I think each successive week it was on. Even if NBC had ordered a 2nd round of episodes there's no way there would've been a third even if…

the sad thing is its really not that hard to hear someone at nbc say—well superheroes are more popular then they've ever been—didn't we used to have a show about that???

Dear god not another season of Suddenly Susan. I think that was the equivalent to me of what everyone here thinks of "heroes" in that I forced myself to watch it week in week out despite the fact that every single season was worst than the last! The show itself tried to reboot itself during its fourth season as Judd…

LIFE was I think the only real primetime victim of the whole Jay Leno on 5 nights a week at 10 o clock. (I said primetime so I'm not counting Conan specifically here)

you have no idea how hard I've prayed for that to happen in the immediate years following the cancellation—I didn't even care that Lovitz never really effectively turned Max Louis into much of a character—I just wanted that cast and those characters to keep having to mingle with one another week in and week out. God…

It was a so-so ep in general, but there were some good moments, some actual character-based moments too scattered throughout. I also quite liked the new wrinkle of Amy being able to effectively manipulate Sheldon as I'm not sure if we've actually seen her successfully do that before. We've seen her try to, but to do…

that's exactly what I was thinking during the lengthy scene where Raj, Bernadette, and the other guy who kept calling him Fruit Loops were all convincing him not to go again. He could've theoretically learned from his mistakes—he is a scientist when the show remembers that he's smarter than the average bear.

I don't think its lost its charm so much as an idea of what to do with its characters at this point. The Sheldon plotline has been done countless times already—-Leonard wants to do something, Sheldon forbids it, often for the reason that its threatening to him and does whatever he can to stall said action. The only…

that's about right—although there realty was one specific Sheldon moment that I liked a lot, which I don't think he actually have seen before here. The one moment where Leonard storms off after Sheldon claims they've had "nary an argument" and Sheldon then says—"well I might not have won that argument but at least I…

Said it before, say it again. Like Kinnear as Rake (yes I'm still thinking of him as a guy named Rake—I don't care if its not his actual name) who really does do a superb job of tying everything that's happening together—were it not for him the show would be a huge mess instead of the near miss it feels like.

I don't know—I agree fully that its a weak episode if taken on its own, but there were a number of character interactions that I still liked—and still found if not funny than at least amusing/smirk worthy. That's worth something. Its still better than not having it on—and not having it on at all would suck—I don't…

she's from EVERWOOD!!!!!
also Jerry deserves a nice day out. It was nice of Ben to be able to provide him with one!

but its increasingly arbitrary, random silly shit with characters we know and love and enjoy the company of—-that's kind of the point of having it still be on and cranking out new episodes and tuning in to watch said new episodes no?

I did enjoy that too—I like how his realization of his mortality came directly from an analogy that only he would grasp. "we're like the new iTunes—we'll be around forever—ohmygod I'm gonna die!"

I'm kind of back and fourth about it being weak and just being glad its back with new episodes. on the one hand NEW EPISODES!!! on the other hand—it wasn't their best but even so-so parks is better than nothing. Even here I enjoyed the various interactions of the characters. I thought Ron Swanson very much enjoying…

I've often joked that I'm going to make my own iron throne one day and its going to be completely made out of old melted vhs tapes that I can't seem to ever part with.
its gonna be glorious! (and at this stage imaginary because I really can't seem to part with my vhs tapes damnit!)

HOORAY FOR TV!!!

abc really needs to start ordering extra episodes the way they used to of Grey's during their first couple of seasons.

Forrest hardly obeyed his orders. He repeatedly disobeyed Lieutenant Dan and ended up saving his life. I don't know—and when he didn't know what to do anymore—he ran—no one told him to run and I'm speaking of when he became a long distance runner and not just a kid—he just did it because he couldn't figure out what…

you should try and find the similarly premised short lived Fox sitcom "Ask Harriet" from 1998. (there are like two or three episodes up on youtube) Also had a guy cross dressing as a woman for purposes of keeping his job as a newspaper columnist. (shrugs) I don't know why you should cover it—it wasn't all that good…
