Anyone see any new shows they like? Boardwalk Empire is fantastic, and I just watched Outsourced at lunch today and it is one of the funnies shows I have seen in awhile.
I haven't played Outsourced yet but I DVR'ed it. Glad to here it's promising.
Just watched Hawaii Five Oh on demand and it was actually pretty good. Better than expected, honestly. Scott Caan is really entertaining in it. If you have Time Warner Cable they're showing it on their Primetime On Demand channel.
I've watched a bunch of other new shows and some of them have potential but nothing really left a must-see feel in my mouth.
i thought outsourced was alright. i think it had some funny moments, but truth be told i felt kind of racist watching it the whole time...like it was a whole show of indian stereotypes (and i bet at least half of those people are faking their indian accents, ala jin in LOST).
i watched the first episode of running wilde on FOX, it was pretty funny. the show has gob and tobias from arrested development, so i have high hopes.
I guess the thing about outsourced is that I saw the movie it is based on. If the series holds true I expect it to start out this way, but then kind of reverse itself onto Americans. After all selling a redneck buying a confederate flag a deer that sings sweet home alabama is also stereotypical.
Still haven't watched Outsourced but there was an interesting comment I had read about how if the show were on HBO or FX it would be called edgy but since its on a standard network it's not being received as well.
Mike and Molly was a cute show but a lot of its humour came from fat jokes. I hope that they are able to grow out of that pretty quickly, too.

If it was on HBO or FX they would have been able to write a completely different show. It's not the premise that's bad, it's the blatant xenophobia (Indian Food will make you poop for like 7 days straight! There's a guy named Manmeet!) that makes it difficult to like.
^Well like I said I can imagine it is not nearly as funny if you have not seen the movie. Also like I said Nod the movie started off that way as well, however it is done mainly at the Americans expense vs at the Indians. I am curious to see how a premise that makes for an interesting 90 minute movie goes over as a tv show.

The show still has time to grow, it's just a matter of them wanting to or not. The first episode makes it seem like they don't want to change and are happy with the formula.
I thought the first episode of Running Wilde was pretty good. It might have actually been terrible, but being a HUGE Arrested Development fan, I'll take anything associated with those writers and actors. There were quite a few little nods to AD in the first episode.
Okay. Finally saw Outsourced. I thought it was fine. Maybe it'll improve. Maybe it won't. I'll catch it On Demand when I feel like it. As long as they stop playing promos for that damn Babies documentary. That makes me want to punch infants.
I didn't enjoy the defenders at all last week, or the whole truth. I may just be fed up with law dramas that are not Boston Legal though. Speaking of which "bleep" my dad says was also pretty weak.
It was new this summer but didn't get a lot of attention so I'll throw The Good Guys up here. It came back last Friday to horrible ratings so it may not last much longer but it is a hilarious show. Check out last Friday's "Season Premier" if you love awesomeness:

I thought it was pretty funny as well. I've watched the first two episodes and enjoyed them a lot. It might be like you said though; I'm just happy to see Will Arnett and David Cross back on TV. Looking forward to watching the newest episode.

I haven't seen Running Wilde, but we've been watching The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, and it's pretty funny.

Always Sunny is as funny as ever this season!! The halloween episode from last night was great and Mac's shot at hockey glory was my other favorite episode. I thought it was awesome talking to a lot of people at bonnaroo this year who loved the show too
The League is great also, a lot better than i expected.
I saw one episode of Running Wilde and I liked that they incorporated the "her" joke from Arrested Development. I've also only seen 1 episode of Todd Margaret, but it was cracking me up.

^When Dee was an ostrich in Mac's version of the story, I was cracking up.
I like the League, too, but Taco needs to stop singing in every episode.
Did anybody watch the premiere of the Walking Dead last night? It was pretty good. It was kind of strange to watch because parts of it were shot around the block from where I used to work in Atlanta.
I watched the premier of the Walking Dead last night. I thought it was great and can't wait for next week. Too bad it's only going to be a 6 episode season.

I also saw the walking dead. I liked it, but thought it moved kind of slow. The 1 1/2hr show length and the fact that amc doesnt have many commercials was awesome. Has anyone read the graphic novel the show was based on? The storyline in the graphic novel is great and i hope the show turns out to be as good, which it has been so far.
the Walking Dead's source material is fantastic if you like graphic novels! I think the 6 episode 1st season was testing to see how it would fare with a large audience. You know, zombies are all the rage right now.
for those who are unfamiliar with the graphic novels, this story is more about the human element than the zombie crisis itself. I can see how some would think last nights premier was a bit slow, but you have to have that character development with this story. Trust me, it gets way better and way deeper into the lives of the characters. Just wait until they introduce "The Governor"!!!
Heres to The Walking Dead being renewed for another season with more episodes.

Highest rating ever by any AMC show last night for the premiere. No doubt this thing gets picked up. The premiere didn't move slow imo. It allowed for the viewer and the main character to process the loss and horror at a proper rate. The director's (?) ability to refrain from using the score was incredibly tasteful because it allowed for the atmosphere to sink in properly. The premiere got an A+ from me. Couldn't be more excited for the rest of the show.
