I also enjoyed that. Her version of Adele's turning tables was phenomenal.

House Of Cards season 2 was meh.

Started watching True Detective. Good. Don't get all the fan theories and stuff.

twerk cobain?

i wonder if there is any weight to my theory that apple is paying off certain companies to only offer their services to be seen/heard on their phones?  for example . . . logo tv has an app so you can watch their shows on your phone, your, iphone, to be more exact.  they keep hinting at an android app "coming soon" but coming soon has been coming soon for coming months and months ago.  wtf.  i want to googlechrome stream stuff to my tv from my phone, my, android phone, and i cant . . . and when i cant, i bitch and create theories such as these, which more than likely, are not true. 

The first 2 episodes of Season 3 have been unwatchable.  If this trend continues I might have to stop watching. What is with all the show tunes? No one  wants to listen to that.

of what show?

Does anyone watch American Horror Story? Does that qualify for this thread?

Sorry about that.  Glee.

Interesting question. AHS, like Archer, is one of those shows that, in no way, fulfills any sort of definition of "Prestige Television," and yet its definitely a favorite among the people/websites that cover Prestige Television. I'm granting a provisional acceptance.

Archer is pretty much unwatchable this season.  About time to cancel it.

New Girl and How I met your mother were both good this week.

Workaholics would be good if they cut out the grossness.

Workaholics and Broad City have been a welcome surprise this season. Really thought the last season of Workaholics was trying to hard. It's pretty awesome this season.

Unfortunately, I agree about Archer this season.

If you are watching Shameless for anything but the gratuitous nudity, then what happened recently was pretty shocking even for them.  I'm curious as to whether or not a major character will be missing next year,which was standard practice for the UK version.

rupauls drag race . . . oooh fish.  what a stinker bunch of girls in what turns out to be a ridiculous effort to stretch out the season with more episodes, by having two premiers.  heres hoping next week with the likes of milk, courtney act, and bianca del rio, the show will regain its class.  and i swear, by now, after six seasons, if you dare show up to the show still claiming that you cannot sew, then bitch, go home.

Those bastards left the new season of Drag Race off of Hulu…

Any thoughts about True Detective with one episode left?

you know, i just started watching, the following.  damn, that kevin bacon is so good.  now dont go spoil anything for me, we are just on like episode three or four, or something.

Ironically, I just started watching this on Netflix for the first time in the last week. It really strains credulity. I love how Kevin Bacon's character – despite having a heart problem – is always able to get to wherever the action is quickest, only to immediately have heart palpitations and be at 25% of his usual strength. He also – no matter how many episodes consecutively it ends poorly – decides to always push ahead without backup.

i also, just started watching portlandia.  maybe it gets awful as the season(s) go on . . . but good god, the first episode had me guffawing in my popcorn and soda pop.
