i386, if your wife is watching The Middle and Modern Family and skipping over the Goldbergs you should have her committed. That show is INSANELY funny and hugely nostalgic if you were young in the eighties.

I dig Modern Family too. The Middle goes from funny to aggravating a little too often.

Yea, I left out the Goldbergs. She watches that too. I do think it's funny sometimes.

Also, Goldbergs daughter is in the first couple minutes of Rock of Ages on the bus sitting next to the old dude across the aisle from Julliane Hough looking quite a bit younger. Yes, I have too much knowledge of these people.

Currently watching the 'new' Fargo with Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. I'm really enjoying it. It has been done well.

I've also been watching Archer on Clitflix when I am generally doing things about the house or checking e-mails etc.

About midway through season 3 of American Horror Story. I can see how a lot of you dudes wouldn't like it. :lol:

I don't mind it, but I preferred season 1 & 2. My wife likes it the best so far.

It does pretty much drive home "bitches be crazy yo." :lol:

Also we're still plugging through Criminal Minds. For a network procedural its surprisingly not terrible. While it suffers from the typical dumbing down that most network shows have "And THAT was the trigger!" (Cause ya know people just constantly are serial killers waiting to happen....) it hasn't gotten bogged down in the drama of the main characters. Its there, but it isn't the focal point of the show. They let ya know, solving serial murders be the focal point. Which is nice.

Its just a fun brainless watch after work here and there.

Fargo was great.

Currently about 90% done with House of Cards. I am completely shocked by how much I actually like this show. Avoided it for years. I am glad I gave it a go and am very much looking forward to it returning on the 27th.

+1 for the Fargo fandom... excellent excellent show. One of the best new series out there.

Just watched the first two seasons of House Of Cards a few weeks ago for the first time as well. Fantastic show, can't wait for next season. Didn't realize it was coming back this month. Stoked!

I don't miss cable in the least but I am still getting used to finding other ways to know when shows are coming back on. Now that I am watching more TV than I did when I had cable :facepalm:

Same here.

Agent Carter has been surprisingly good. Hard to believe it's from the same group making Agents of Sheild. That story pissed me off WHILE boring me during the first episode.

We DVR'd agent carter. Haven't gotten around to watching it though, which we need to.

I guess someone said AC was made by the movie side and AoS is the TV side? Something like that. AoS has gotten better, but its still not very good. Which is sad.

Maybe Agent Carter is going to be a test bed for axing the TV side permanently and just letting the movie team work the TV shows?

I know they said they plan on doing Agent Carter every year during the mid season Agents break. Right now I'd be happy if Carter just took over Sheild's spot. Fuck it, they're tying in brilliantly while not hanging themselves on the tie and they're telling a compelling story.

I couldn't go back to Agents of Sheild. Just couldn't do it. Which sucks because I really looked forward to it before it started. One episode and I was like, FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Yeah, the whole first half of season 1 was awful. The rest has been meh at best, but I kept watching cause I want it to be good. But, meh is the best I can hope for apparently.

I am not big on comic books as translated to television so AoS holds no interest for me. I wanted to watch Gotham as the character base should make it a no brainer; yet I haven't heard good things about it.

Anyone check out the new Bosch series on Amazon Prime? I'm just getting into the 2nd episode & really liking it. Lots of actors from The Wire, Walking Dead (the ones no longer with us :D), and 24. A little hard to get past that at times, but still great acting, and good writing.

A graphic novel! :lol: A fan base begins to suspect what is depicted in the graphic novel actually happened (is happening) and then all shit breaks loose. So many twists and turns. It's funny and dark (like Misfits if you've ever seen that). The way it is shot is great from the cinematography to the color pallet of the show. Highly recommended.
