Also glad to see Happy Endings looks to be back. Would love to see a third season.

Yeah, I watched it one day when nothing else was on, expecting nothing, and found it rather funny and have kept watching since. The poster a few above me is right though, Jase is the best part of the show, that guy is a comic genius!

My understanding of 'Bent' was that NBC passed on it after filming 6 episodes, so they aired them just to burn them out. I don't believe they were ever intending to continue it. I agree though, great supporting cast. Jeffrey Tambor was fantastic in all of his scenes. I thought Marcia Gay Harden was great, too, in her brief stint as his ex-wife.

Maybe I shouldn't have stopped watching that series last season?
The Ricky Gervais Show premiered last night on HBO.

Had an idea!

I stopped watching Fringe last season too because it got ridiculous with double characters and two worlds.

It's on the PVR and when there is several episodes I'll probably watch them, but with how annoying I've started to find Ricky Gervais I'm having a hard time being excited to watch these.
Just hope Karl shines.

Karl ALWAYS shines. But these podcasts aren't anywhere near Karl's best stuff. Their old radio show on XFM is where you get the best Karl.

This is what I wish all Thursday nights on NBC would be. Parks and Rec, Community, 30 Rock and....ugh....the Office. Parks and Rec has Paul Rudd guest starring again tonight, it's Community's Law and Order episode and 30 Rock is LIVE tonight.

Unfortunately they will probably go back to the played out story lines. How long can they keep Peter in limbo anyway, just resolve it and move on. I'd love if they did an entire season based on this last episode, so much promise. But I doubt it will happen.

I don't think so, with only 13 episodes they do need to wrap things up pretty quickly
They should be able to come up with a good final arc

I only just got caught up with it last night, but I agree, I love where it's at right now. Midway through this season, I was really questioning where they were going with it, but I'm fully on-board again, and 16 episodes seems like just enough time to wrap it up correctly. I'm actually glad it's not dragging out too much more; a nice, tight 13 episode season would be perfect.
