So glad Jason from Antenna Free TV was on. Love his podcast as well. I really hope Happy Endings gets renewed or picked up by another network. I heard something about USA wanting it but I feel like it would be better on TBS.
Selina, After TBS picking up Cougar Town, it does seem like they would be a better fit for Happy Endings than USA Network. But, if USA Network wants to kickoff their foray into half-hour comedies by picking it up, should ABC cancel it, I’d be more than happy for them to do so. Anything that keeps the show going past this season.
You’ll be happy to know I actually watched TWD on the Sunday night that it aired and loved it (and had zombie nightmares). I hope we see Andrea in flashbacks with Michonne and their time together. And Carl scares me. I’m in for S4 although maybe not Sunday nights.
I love me some New Girl. For real. And I really liked that they now have shown Nick as the responsible person in his family. I like how it fleshes out his character and even his relationship with Winston.
I can’t tell if I still like Revolution or not. It’s Kripke so I am still watching (I watched that Tarzan show so I have to watch this right?) I am glad they killed of the son. I feel like they have to continue to actually kill off characters (like The Walking Dead does) to keep people invested in the show and the characters. At least it works for me.
