Wasn't good enough to keep me watching.

Pretty boring and the whole show is just a walking talking cliche.

Homeland is the best new show for me this season, it's great so far

Damien Lewis (who a lot of people will remember from Band of Brothers) is always good, and Claire Danes is really good as well

I think it has a lot of potential, I don't have super channel because it's terrible so I got it by means suggested in post 182

I haven't had time to scan the whole thread but has anyone seen the show called "Top Shot"? Amazing reality tv show that is like a blend of Wipeout/Big Brother/America has Talent.

They basically invited the top shooters in the US made up of Cop, civilian, ex-military and firearm instructors that take part in crazy challenges using a very wide variety of firearms. The entire group is split into two teams. Each episode they take part in a team challenge. Whatever team loses that challenge has to nomiate two memebers to take part in an elimination challenge. Whomever loses that challenge goes home.

Great show, lots of personality, well thought out challenges. Well worth looking into.

I bet the next show cancelled is Unforgettable, I believe the ratings have been quite low.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. I watched half an episode and turned it off. Just so "procedure" and predictable.

But what is NBC doing giving full seasons to Whitney and Up All Night...ugh...I guess they need to leave something on their network.

Two Broke Girls is awful. It will be gone soon.

Homeland on Showtime is going to be a great ride. Damien Lewis (formerly of the badly mistreated 'Life'), Claire Daines and Mandy Pitankin. First episode was awesome. It makes it easy to watch since it is right after the best show on television.

Ab Fab is back, darlings! As EW reported back in August, the cult British series is returning early next year on BBC America and Logo with a trio of new specials. But you don’t have to wait that long to reunite with the boozy Patsy (Joanna Lumley) and Edina (Jennifer Saunders): EW has the exclusive first look at how the fabulous duo are holding up in the new specials, which marks the first time they’ve reunited since the BBC America comedy Clatterford in 2006.

As you might imagine, despite a teensy-weensy bit of age, Patsy and Edina haven’t changed much at all, as the two exclusive photos we’ve nabbed are classic Ab Fab:

Jennifer Saunders is hilarious, but I loved her husband's shows more....particularly Bottom and The Young Ones.

A Gifted Man is terrible.

I was liking Unforgettable but have only seen the opening episode with one or two on DVR right now.

I know it is 7 episodes into the new season already, but Strike Back is an incredible show. Season 1 was incredible, Season 2 seems to be just as good.

Well worth checking out.

Same here. Started off pretty interesting but then it seemed like they ran out of a storyline and began making stupid things up.

Did you watch it online? If so was it edited? Mine was they even blurred out the boobies and muted it during sex scenes. I tried watching multiple copies and it was the same for all of them.

Anyone watching Person of Interest? I imagine it's been discussed but I haven't scoured this whole thread.

Today, NBC inexplicably gave Up All Night and Whitney full season orders.


The thought occurred to me today, you know what would make Up All Night better? If it was a show about Kelly Bundy and GOB Bluth being married to each other with an infant child.

I have been on this show since the begining too. One of those rare non comedy shows the wife watches with me.

I also really enjoyed House. It was the same formula, but it's nice to put the wrench into House's plans every once in awhile. It was well done.

I think Person of Interest is okay.

Unforgettable irritated me greatly. I figured the whole "I never forget anything" would get tired really quickly.

I actually enjoy Up all Night. It's not amazing, and it could definitely use the three leads a lot better, but it's cute. I like it. I've only watched one episode of Whitney. It wasn't as bad as I had heard, but it wasn't great either. Surprised they'd renew them so quickly though.

I lasted about 2 min actually. Didn't even bother skipping through it, which I would usually do.

Just brutal.
