I actually like Fallon. I think he does a great job on Late Night. It is the most I've enjoyed a late show since Conan left to do his thing.

And I was a bit of a hater at the beginning (mostly because I love Conan), but his experience in sketch comedy really comes through I think.

The show has steadily improved. He has the best band. His audience is young, and I don't know how that will translate to Leno's audience. It didn't work for Conan.

Conan is in a rut on TBS - I think they have no budget to work with - he can't even talk to the band because they must get paid more for speaking. I miss the old bits.

Seth Myers takes over for Fallon in 2014.

Love Fallon. He has the best bits by far. Craig Ferguson is a funnier host and interviewer but Fallon has the better overall show in my opinion.

Ha ha ha. I'm glad that I'm not the only parent that thinks these shows are actually funny.

What was that Treehouse show where the girl dressed up as a clown and at the beginning of the show she would lie down and simulate a clock? That was pretty painful to watch over and over and over.

Oh that show is old balls. Started in 1993 according to imdb. I guess the taste of mindless toddlers doesn't change much though.

Didn't the main lady have cancer or something? Or was that the lamb chops play along lady?

That's pretty cool that your neighbour works on the show. I am guessing that you're not located in Calgary then.

Cool thanks. I'm gonna check it out.

I'm in Vancouver actually. As far as I know, he works out of his apartment. I actually haven't talked to him about it in person yet. Found out last week because I saw some of his mail outside of his mailbox and googled his name lol. I'm apparently a really creepy dude.

He also writes the web comic Three Word Phrase, which is pretty hilarious as well. I'm gonna order his book and get it shipped to the apartment next door and see if he notices lol.

Kind of goes with what Pylon said earlier about Full House, but any show where a main actress gets pregnant and the show sprouts a kid. That's always the point where the show jumps the shark and it's time to quit. You know the writers have given up at that point and run out of ideas.

Not saying worst ever but absolutely shocked Walking Dead hasn't been mentioned. It just might be the amalgam of the worst actors in the world flopping around in the most gag inducing plots conceived by humanity.
That and Small Wonder/Corner Gas of course.

Breaking Bad scoffs at your theory.

Real Housewives of ______, and Ex-Wives of ______.

I seriously think less of my girlfriend for watching this crap. I get guilty pleasures and all that, but this garbage is unbearable!

I agree. However, this last episode had a pretty funny segment with the doctor in the last five minutes...

I've given it 5 episodes and it has had one laugh out loud moment for me. That's not a good pay off for my time. It's dropped.
