FlameSnoopy Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The Blacklist still continues to intrigue me even if the twist in episode 8 was lame My assumption was that the appointment of Keane was due to Red's criminal intent rather than what it really turned out to be. After yesterday's episode however, my faith has been restored, since the series continues to give just enough information away. I've watched The Big Bang Theory for years now, but I have to say it has gotten worse from the starting seasons. I'm mostly tuning in for tradition rather than excitement. I feel like the episode plots are no longer of interest to me and some of the characters have gotten stale. I did moderately enjoy the Thanksgiving episode though and other than that Amy is often the funniest in an episode. Rather surprising considering I first didn't like her. How I Met Your Mother is steady and stable, though I'm not sure where they are going with how the timeline is set with the last season. I mean the build up to the wedding has taken forever, just get on with it The main storyline is not grasping my interest either, but Barney and Marshall are still awesome. Happy Endings was canceled, which wasn't a surprise since the show seemed to not have a destination. While it was probably the least favorite of the shows I watch, I still miss it a bit. Of course after it was canceled Coach made his return to New Girl. New Girl is still my favorite show and absolutely hilarious at that. It's just so different and has great characters and episode plots. The only character I don't like is Winston, because he's just so weird. I hope they can manage to come up with something sensible for him in the near future. Now that Coach has gotten settled in, the show is even better! My second favorite show is Modern Family, mostly due to it's distinctive characters. I can't believe they've managed to create such a compelling show from something so uninteresting in paper. I absolutely love Phil, but the rest of the cast is great as well. Probably the weakest link is Cameron since he tends to get annoying. I also watched the pilot for Parks and Recreation lately, but didn't find it that good to be honest. Watched two episodes of Arrested Development too, which was a little better. The only plot line I have interest thus far is the George Michael (Michael Cera) and his cousin storyline. I think I'm going to continue watching Arrested Development, but I'd like to ask from anyone who has watched these two: do they get better overtime? If so, I might give Parks a chance as well.

Honestly, Schmidt is my favorite character, but after him I can't pick a second favorite. Every time I say Jess is, Nick, Winston or Cece will do something hysterical that reminds me why their character is so great. It happens with each character. It's part of why I love the show so much though. I loved Max Greenfield(Schmidt) when he was on Veronica Mars, so I'm so glad he's able to shine on a show.

RKOwnage Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 In an attempt to hold back from spoilers, I'm just gonna say that the Season 4 midseason finale was the best episode of the entire series thus far. This season has been great, I just hate that money-hungry AMC cuts every season in two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm on season 2 of Last Man Standing(Tim Allen sitcom) and I really enjoy it. I don't like that they changed the actress of the oldest daughter. Tim Allen is essentially doing his Tim "The Toolman" Taylor schtick, but a slightly more matured version, but not too mature. Tim Allen's character(Mike) is probably my favorite character or maybe Ed(his boss/friend). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, after I was done laughing I said I did not spoil anything because it is common knowledge that Arnold Rothstein was killed. He said it was not common knowledge to him because he had never even heard or Arnold Rothstein until the show came on the air. </p><p> </p><p> I guess what I am wondering is, is there a statute of limitations on spoilers?</p><p> </p><p> If so does stuff that actually happened in real life fall under it?</p><p> </p><p> I mean I did not think talking about a murder that happened nearly ninety years ago would constitute a spoiler but I guess I am wrong about that.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've always had interest in the show, but have yet to give it a go. I had no idea it was actually based on a real person though. Doesn't really spoil anything for me. I'm still intrigued. I had no idea who Arnold Rothstein was though. I've never even heard the name. When I think of famous gangsters, I think of Al Capone, John Gotti, John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie & Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd. That might be because those all have hundreds of hours of documentaries and movies made about them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 <p>Arnold Rothstein was probably most famous for fixing the 1919 World Series which led to the Black Sox scandal. He was also a mentor of sorts to Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano (Luciano was the man who setup the Commission).</p><p> </p><p> As far at the show goes, it is not the most historically accurate show but it is still very good.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm about to start the Wire, so I'll probably give Boardwalk Empire a shot after that.
