It also fills the important niche of hearing Connie Britton drop "y'alls" on weekly television in FNL's absence.

Do that many people watch those anyway, though? I dunno how much they affect actually building buzz or lowering premiere numbers, but I remember New Girl opened to massive ratings last year after the pilot was online for a while.

The Mob Doctor is doing even worse than Lone Star now, so who knows. Then again, NBC won the first 2 weeks of the season in the demo so clearly we're in some sort of alterna-universe anyway.

The Wednesday boot camp episode was the first one I've caught this season and holy crap, the 13-year-old purple glasses kid's breakdown was the most uncomfortable thing I've seen since the crazy "red hots are for my mommy!!!!" guy from Top Chef Desserts. The whole time I was cringing and hoping that no one from that…

Angelo has really annoyed me up to this point because he's always seemed like a plot device to inject drama rather than a realized character. Now that he's moving in to the house, I hope they work more on fleshing him out.

I finally watched Veronica Mars for the first time this summer, and was really amused to see Katie Leclerc make a cameo appearance in the first season "switched at birth" episode (she played one of the students for whom Veronica dug up dirt on her parents)

As crazy as this show is, the books have descended into utter batshit. It's pretty clear they only keep churning them out due to the TV show's success & it seems like they're coming up with the most bizarre stuff possible just to see how crazy they can go and still be published (which is the only reason I keep up with…

Interesting premise, but I abandoned it after about 100 pages. Based on this review and a few others I've read that was a pretty good decision.

My favorite moment of the night was Ruta Meilutyte coming from nowhere 2 days ago to win all her heats and the Gold in the 100 breaststroke. Have to admit, I was rooting for her over Soni. She had an interview with a BBC poolside reporter right after the race and was adorably shocked and speechless.

Not to mention ABC Family has a bunch of CW-type shows and gets (sometimes much) better ratings with most of them.
