Hard to pick just one standout from this stellar cast, but Nicey Nash is indeed brilliant as usual.

Another fantastic job, Franko. Since TV Club Classic appears to be fading away, I appreciate you fighting the good fight to keep the spotlight on worthy older shows.

I caught up with the first two episodes of Getting On this weekend and I was very, very impressed. This is some hilarious shit and the acting is just fantastic across the board.

Well, I'm not sure what they're going to do with Parenthood then. Don't think they're going to leave it on Thursdays, it doesn't fit after Grimm on Fridays or SVU on Wednesdays, they aren't going to put it back after The Voice…seems like an earlier time slot or nothing.

They could even consider sticking Parenthood or Revolution at 8 - something with a loyal core audience that might not get hurt too much by another move. Let The Blacklist be the tentpole at 9 leading into a newcomer at 10.

My point is that as soon as it was clear in the first season that LMS was a Tim Allen show with a respectable core audience, that lasting until syndication was inevitable - it didn't matter that it was moved to Friday night at 8, the show wasn't going away regardless of where ABC put it or how much it didn't fit with…

I think they decided during the first season that they were going to get LMS to syndication no matter what. So here we are.

Gotta give AMC credit for one thing - getting 80% of the audience to bail out immediately after the end of one of your hit shows is an almost historic achievement in misguided programming.

Agreed, good for NBC. They tried some old-school showmanship and it paid off big time. After dying for years on Thursday night, it's nice to see them reclaim some of their old glory.

It is an interesting question what NBC does now in the wake of this incredible one-time success.

They clearly did a great job of hyping to the Voice/American Idol crowd and managed to reach some people who don't even watch much network television.

It's like when the State Fair came to a place where I worked in an affluent suburb. All these people showed up who looked like Squidbillies drawings that I'd never seen there before and haven't seen since.

I thought "today's country" was just pop with a little twangy guitar occasionally mixed in.

I still refer to it by its original name, "hip and hop".

I think Western music died along with movie singing cowboys.

True, but except for Big Bang Theory, those other syndicated reruns don't come close to FG's ratings, even with much fresher episodes.

The fact that they can still crank out good episodes when they actually try makes it more frustrating how lazy they are 80% of the time.

Yeah, this sounds exactly right. It's TV you don't have to pay that much attention to, which is exactly how most people like it.
