Well, he sure showed us.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Bad news, bitches. Just look at the URL. Yup, Jay Leno is getting his old show back.

That means NBC might put something I want to watch on at 10 instead, so I'm all for it. Also, whoever's writing Conan's material since he moved to the Tonight Show needs to be fired in this deal, preferably with actual fire.

Burn notice- 7  episodes into season 1. It's the first time I've made an effort to sit down and watch the series, and I haven't been let down. Very good core cast (Can't go wrong with Bruce Campbell as a drunk, lecherous retired spy), sharp writing, and a very engaging setting and story. The episodes move fast and the bad guy of the week story is mixed in nicely with filling in Michael's backround and figuring out why he got burned noticed in the first place.

They should really just let Conan be Conan and say screw the old fans of the Tonight show. Conan is that funny where he can replace those old fans for newer, hipper, sexier ones.

Yay~

Andrew and I have been watching Season 2 (he got the DVDs for Christmas) and I've been wanting to post about how awesome it still is. I'm excited for the current season starting up again later this month.

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, 3 episodes so far - It's a super sentai. Wasn't really interested in revisiting my Power Rangers fanboyism of days long past, but the show keeps getting hype so I gave it a shot, and it's been pretty fun. Helps that it's got some of the best choreography I've seen in a toku, and the characters are all very colorful. Ryuunosuke, Shinken Blue, is a particular source of lulz for me.

The combining robot is standard fare, but it has a cool hat, so I'm pretty okay with it.

Sam was a Seal.  Normally I wouldn't correct something like that but it irks me for some reason.

The premier of Chuck was good. Quite good indeed. I will miss Tony Hale, though.

I'm watching How I Met Your Mother, midway through season 3 now. Barney is completely awesome.

Ted's main love interest of the season being a doctor played by Sarah Chalke, though? I'm not sure how that's going to work out.

Well, at the time, we thought Scrubs was done and so it was just kind of a joke. Now it's typecasting.

I am watching the Niel Patrick Harris Awesome Show that wastes time with other characters than the Willow Chick way to often.

In other news I feel like I should summarise another popular TV Show.

Quote from: Shale Because I can Put Words In His Mouth Like Penises
I am watching the Charlie Sheen Awesome Show and why the fuck is there any other characters in this shit?  Seriously they ruin the show.  Fuck you viewing public for wanting to watch another washed up painful comedian and wasting Charlie Sheen on this crap?  The kid isn't horrible, but barely needs to be there other than for something else for Charlie Sheen to be Charlie Sheen at.  Seriously you should just devote half the episode to Charlie being a smart arse to a wall and then the other half him banging hot chicks.  This show is horrible and painful to watch and it is depressing that this is the most successful thing an awesome actor like Sheen has been in for years.  So dear viewing public FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOU HARD.

This is the smartest thing you have said in ages Shale.  Two and a Half Men sucks big fat donkey cocks.

Chuck started the season off with a bang, and the horrendous Jay Leno program that they almost killed it for tanked while its ratings are (for an NBC show) through the roof.

So in summation: Everyone in NBC is a remarkable idiot.

EDIT
Is this the sort of statement that will guarantee me never getting a job in my field?

I have never watched a minute of Two And a Half Men, and I am mysteriously okay with that.

If so, NBC could never hire anyone outside again, since this was generally agreed to be a horrendous blunder (Hence them ordering a record number of pilots for next season, moving Jay back to his old timeslot at random time without things to fill it immediately, everything mocking them for it, etc...)

Not only is the new season of Chuck awesome, it's now the highest-rated show on NBC that isn't named The Office or 30 Rock. Fuck yeah, fourth season.

I don't understand how Shale can criticize them giving Jason fucking Segel camera time on HIMYM, though.

Burn Notice: Remains awesome.

House: Having watched last season on DVD again, I've come to the conclusion that the entire final arc was actually really quite strong when viewed in sequence. The gaps between new episodes kinda lessened the effect when it was airing on TV, but seeing all the episodes in a row really gave a feel for the ups and downs. This season has been okay.

Let's Make a Deal: Possibly the best daytime televison currently out there (which isn't saying much, granted). It probably benefits from my not being old enough/bothering to watch the original, as I find Wayne Brady to be an interesting host. At least, it's a lot better than his previous shows.
