Hannibal is probably my favorite show on TV. I can't believe its on Network either.

Finished season 2 of Orange is the New Black. Probably one of the best season endings ever this side of Breaking Bad. Left room for story growth but ended in a way that, if the show was done now; the viewer would be totally satisfied at the outcome.

Started watching Constantine. Since Hannibal was so good; thought I would give this other NBC show a shot. So far, so good. Just watched the pilot and while it is good; I am not sure if it is going the Sleepy Hollow route where I dig it to a point and then get bored.

Constantine picks ups steam, I've read that they may not make a second season which is lame since it's one of the better new shows out there IMO. I'm really looking forward to Hannibal returning just to see who survived the ending of season 2.

Good to hear. I dig shows with a supernatural/horror slant; yet find that being on regular tv doesn't lend itself to really doing the genre justice. The first episode of Hannibal is definitely going to be interesting :snax:

Finishing up season 1 of American Horror Story. Have 1 episode left.

That was my favorite season for that show. So weird and hot maid.

Watching The Flash still....it started out slow but picked up steam...kinda like Supernatural did in the beginning, with the 'this week we're gonna fight a werewolf!' and then moved on into further plotlines....this show has the potential to be friggin great, the special FX are cool and it looks good, Candice Patton is SO damn hot, the story is getting better and better, Dr. Wells is a creepy weird fuck and I STILL don't know who the Reverse Flash is! :bang:

It's on mid-season break and comes back in a month or so. Dig it.

I THINK Under The Dome-Season 2 is out on DVD this week. If so, I'll pick it up. (I cant pick up CBS where I live). I enjoyed the 1st season.

Season 3 is crap.

I really liked season 1, but season 2 I felt was better.

Thanks for the heads up on Season 3. I'll let my wife know. She'll still want to give it a shot, but I'll just tell her season 4 gets better again and we may as well skip to it. :)

FAK.

Its not Vampire Diaries level of awful is it? Cause she loves that show and I pretty much refuse to be in the room when its on because its so stupid I cant' keep my mouth shut and then she gets mad.

Season 2 is the best followed by 1 and 4. 3 is last but it's not as bad as every one says IMO. It was still an enjoyable watch if you have the time and don't have any better shows to watch (which during Christmas tends to be the case with all shows on hiatus).

Season 3? When Stevie Nicks gets a major focus point on a "scary" show, it's all gone wrong. I thought this was supposed to be a "horror" show.

And this season is just BARELY any better

Season 2 had good premise. Propelled my interest up to this point. I'm just in it to see how it ends, then probably throwing in the towel.

I gave up on that show 3 episodes into the current season...the 1st one was awesomely weird and great, 2nd wasn't as good but still ok, 3rd was just lame as fuck and this one just couldn't grab me. Wife and daughter are still into it, but it couldn't hold my interest at all.

That's how most shows end up for me. I've long lost interest but my wife still wants to watch.
