I'm in the minority who thinks YJ>JLU. Imagine if JL had ended after Starcrossed (same # of episodes as YJ). It wouldn't be remembered all that great.

They struck such a good balance between him having the behavior ingrained (not being a good leader early) and him realizing that's not who he wants to be.

Yes, very good. S1 is kinda high school-preachy with intro episodes, but S2 and S3 are really good, esp the S2 finale which I remember as really inventive and radical and balls to the wall.

Not that S2 couldn't have been good, but when I checked it out on Netflix, the first half had a ton of promise and then the back half kinda fell flat.

Jeez, spoiler alert.

The criticism of it that I don't agree with is the 2 girls part because they did it before with the men a long time ago (also, it was apparently never a thing within the show as Kaitlyn was always going to be the winner)
Also, I don't think Shawn shamed Kaitlyn for sleeping with someone, he was upset she slept with…

Hoping to get some input here. I tried Review for the second time, watched through Pancakes and didn't laugh at all. Have I watched enough to say I should bail? I used to love Doug Loves Movies (got burnt out) but could never get into CBB and it seems like Review is built on that cringe/drag out the gag type of humor.

Same here. I found myself wanting to fast forward quite a bit

Yeah, I agree with you that TK is cool from that perspective, I guess it's the network's fault for touting PTI as being like "the thinking man's conversation" or something like that.

They do put a podcast form of the show up. Check out their interviews on youtube with Jerry Stackhouse and Stephen Jackson. If you miss a night in sports, the first segment of HQ is really the only show that adequately covers what you missed. The middle is usually an interview and the last segment is usually…

The sad part is he could be really good. He understands economic stuff and is good at putting down trolling callers with factual arguments. He just chooses to live in the muck otherwise.

Thought I heard he was aiming towards political coverage

He's not a Patriots fan, he just plays up love of Brady and Belichick to rile people up.

Mike Greenberg, who last week wasn't even aware Wimbledon had a roof. Those 2 are everything wrong with ESPN: they'll toe the company line on anything and pump up every worthless analyst (Greeny takes the word of Cris Carter for example as gospel). The perfect bland morning drive show to people who love the Jets or…

Kornheiser used to be OK but he's now comfortable with rarely actually watching sporting events. Their discussions about Wimbledon were completely embarrassing.

In that case, you should be (and maybe already am) watching Highly Questionable

On the other hand, the way Dan Patrick's studio sycophants play up the "we're just dopes mooching off Dan" isn't really an improvement.

Survivor's actually still good though.

Not many people are aware, but it's actually *whomvian*
