The one show I think I'm the most excited for has to be Terra Nova. Already have the PVR set up and ready to go. I watched Jurassic Park again the other day just in preparation. I love man eating dinosaurs!

I'm kinda looking forward to that show, but my fear is if it starts to struggle, they'll insert the cute baby talking raptor who makes air guitar motions while telling other dinos to chill out man, these are my peeps

I read the description for the next episode and it said something about their old roommate moving back in, so I guess he will be replaced. That sucks. I liked him.

I have Person of Interest, Prime Suspect and Whitney taped. Don't really know why I bothered with Whitney, the ads for it looked stupid to me.
Yeah, that's exactly the reason. Hopefully the new character is funny.

Kinda glad all these new shows suck... already watch enough TV haha.
Um, New Girl does not suck. It should not be mentioned in the same breath as Whitney.

Whitney had some really fun concepts that could have been hilarious if they were competantly executed.

The whole nurse fantasy where she made him provide insurance and family health information could have been hilarious, but it just became awkward instead.

If you haven't watched it, Happy Endings is one of the funniest network shows on right now. If you like Community, Parks and Rec, etc, you will like Happy Endings.

It's about Elisha Cuthbert in tight shirts, Damon Wayans Jr doing hilarious things, Adam Pally being the most ridiculously gay straight gay guy, Casey Wilson being a-maaz-ing, and that girl from Scrubs the new class setting up Damon Wayans Jr to say hilarious things.

Person of Interest has caught my personal interest.

The New Girl promos inundating the Fan 960 are driving me crazy. How does a person with a nasally speech impediment get her own TV series?

I like that James Spader (Robert California) is on The Office. I'm giving Parks & Rec another chance, because so many of you recommend it. The meeting with the nurse and all the dong-texters was great. Don't like the dumb guy character - too broad.

Disapointed with the second episode of Up all Night.

Parks and Rec was a great episode. Ron Swanson in the beginning intro was awesome. Is there a funnier character on TV right now? Well on regular network TV.

The Office was meh. If I didn't have a PVR I prolly wouldn't watch it anymore. The first few seasons of that show were just so damn good, its the only reason i'll watch now.

New Girl was pretty funny. Kinda disapointed Wayans Jr. is leaving the show. He was really funny in that show.

Happy Endings is a good show. Almost got cancelled last year, hopefully the ratings pick up so it'll stay on TV. Was wondering what was going to happen with Wayans Jr with the 2 shows.

2 Broke girls was garbage.

Big Bang Theory is getting pretty dull.

HIMYM is getting old real fast. It should die a slow death. When that show first aired, my only hope was that it wouldn't be cancelled before you me the mother, so hopefully that still happens.

I'd like to see them introduce Mimi from the Drew Carey show as the mother, and just as we see her meet Ted, we get marriage music and then the picture fades to black.

I just rewatched the season premier of Community.

Spoiler!


I still have to watch Person of Interest. Without giving anything away, was it any good?

I just watched it and the lead has serious Christian Bale Batman voice going on.

It's not bad. I'll watch again, but I can't say I am extremely excited about it.

I liked Parks and Rec. The stuff with the guys sending pics of their junk was hilarious. That old guy asking about specific situations where he could send pics, loved it. You gotta love Ron. Amy Poehler is great. I like the guy that plays Ben too, he was a good addition.

I like Patricia Clarkson, so I hope she sticks around for a little while as Wife #1 for Ron.

I'll be watching this show for Michael Emerson alone. His role is perfect for him in it.
