    James Spader is phenomenal!

    For one reason or another... I never could get into 30 Rock. Everyone I know says it is such a great show though.

    Just started few weeks ago watching sons of anarchy with my girlfriend...now i am half of the second season...great show and not sorry for waiting on it for few years

    watching the strain...not bad but so far i expected more...watching the bridge,satisfied but will defenetly see danish version also...

    the shows i am waiting are black sails (check it out,different perspective on pirates and still very interesting) and vikings (probably one of best shows on the air)...

    few friendly tips...if someone gets in conntact with penny dreafull, do NOT watch it,
    first few episodes are good but it is a trap...it quickly goes down the hill..to bad it has very good actors but director is obviusly moron...

    and i seen the leftovers...maybe i am rushing after one episod...but it looks bad...

    Stargate SG-1. Not bad if you like SF.

    I found it to be enjoyable. CW is doing a good thing with their DC universe they are building.

    haha I love that show. The first few episodes are better than the rest, but still I really like it.

    Also there's this BBC show called In the Flesh that's a very different take on the Zombie apocalypse idea. It's set after the zombie apocalypse happened, and all the recently dead came back to life. After a while the living develop a drug that fixes the zombies brains and makes them almost like they were before dying, so being a zombie is treated like a disease that needs to be cured. The show revolves around the zombies trying to integrate back into society and the prejudice they encounter. It's not the best show ever, but it's a very interesting twist on the genre IMO.

    Yes! I forgot to mention these as well. I just can't get enough of these and the SHORTS that they do as well. I may not like a lot of the coverage that ESPN does sometimes but they do know how to put together powerful and intelligent documentaries.

    I thought The Returned were just regular people that returned back after they disappeared or something.

    In The Flesh has zombies that are all decayed, but they wear contacts and foundation to try to look normal and blend in. It's kind of a cool idea

    I mainly started watching it as background while I played Final Fantasy XIV and now I'm already 5 seasons in so I might as well finish it out. But honestly, it's not that great IMO. It's a good show, but nowhere near the level I expected from NBC's other comedies (The Office, Parks and Rec, Community).

    I might start watching Key & Peele now that the new season is starting soon. I've enjoyed some of there comedy bits that I've seen thus far.

    Is The walking dead realy that good...??? i stoped watching it at beggining of the 4th season...
    for me it was big rollercoaster...lots ups and downs...i thought first season was amazing frank deborant made great job...second one was horrible it was insult for the brain...
    3rd one was so so...sometimes good sometimes bad...
    i would recomend all to read twd comics...it is FAR SUPERIOR to tv show (i know it is not fair to compare comic and tv show) but it is sooo better and story never goes slow and boring as it is sometimes in the show...

    The rest of season 4 is great, there was two episodes that followed the governor that was a bit meh but the rest was good.
    Also the season 5 premier yesterday was great!

    Ever since the new show runner took over, TWD has been on a huge upswing for how good the episodes are.

    I caught about 10 minutes of Gotham tonight. I really liked what I saw. I'm going to have to check it out from the beginning.

    The more I see of Gotham the less I like it actually. I just don't feel the writing is very smart and the most interesting character is probably the Penguin, which is fine and all, but I feel it's a waste of some really good cannon they could be drawing upon.
