I have a sad admission. I put Grey's Anatomy on Netflix and spent the weekend watching the living shit out of it. Now feel free to call into question my manhood. I deserve it but in my defense I love Kate Walsh.

You can just stop watchign it now, I used to watch it with my wife when it first started, then they got so out of control with all the story lines that even she didn't care about watchign it anymore. I haven't seen it in for ever, but it's one of those shows that should have stopped after a few seasons.

Anyone watch Allen Gregory? If so what do you think about it? I'm on the verge of giving up on it. The first episode was pointless since all the jokes were already in the commercials and so far the 2nd episode...the humor is just bad.

I didn't hate it and I think it has some potential... I'm at the point where I won't give up on it just yet (mostly because it's between Simpsons and Family Guy) but if I miss one, I don't think I'll be all that sad about it. If anything, it's become one of those shows where I can work on something else and keep it on in the background.



There's some really funny bits, it's just not wowing me.



I just discovered Phineas and Ferb (with the girlfriends "suggestion")... and while it's marketed to children, that show is hilarious.

I dunno the show's jokes already seem tired. Allen Gregory and his Dad are illogical and the Asian girl and the other dude are the reasonable ones but are always told they are wrong. That's it that's the whole show. Unless the writing improves I doubt it lasts longer than bob's burger.



I'm getting to the point that adult cartoons are only funny if Seth MacFarlane, Matt Groening, or the South Park guys are involved.

Well, that's what I think they'll need to work on because the husband's lover and the adopted girl and grossly underused and if they continue to use the principal's husband was a great addition too (mostly because I'm pretty sure Will Forte made that character). And I'm sorry - but you are just too wrong about Bob's Burgers. It was brilliant and gone before it's time.



And one of Phineas and Ferb's writers is from Family Guy...

Bob's Burgers was horrid (also I never commented on it outside that it is over) it was the opposite of funny. It was just gross and Special person.

At least my show had hot chicks on it.



I'm just really picky when it comes to animated comedy. I think most of it sucks ass. Bob Burger's I just never found to be funny. I watched the 1st episode and that was it, it was not my brand of comedy.

Thank you. I didn't want to have to say it.



Bob's Burgers started a little off, but it got better towards the end. Of course, I love Jon Benjamin voice over anything.

Thats the problem. The first few episodes were imo a bit shitty, but the last few made me giggle.



Have you seen Childrens Hospital? Rob Cordrey has said that Greys Anatomy has been stealing their story lines.

No I know of the show but don't watch it and it wouldn't surprise me.

Children's Hospital is awesome, and to a lesser extend it's counter part NTSF:SD:SUV.



Unfortunately for most half hour comedy's that come out now, the first I'd say 6 shows need to be watched all together back to bad before any judgement is made. The first two shows are basically pilots which have to have the mind numbing shock and awe to catch the execs. eyes to keep it on. And like you said all the funny parts are then promoted the hell out of so when they are finally on, they don't seem as funny anymore. this carry's over into the next few episodes at which time most people give up, but if you stick ti through 6 or some episodes with smart funny writing, then you'll finnally be able to see what the whole show is about. Unfortunately for most of them, but then they are canceled because studio's are idiots. I didn't like bobs burgers, but I didn't like home movies at first either, till I watched more than I cared to because they were always being run on adult swim, then I really started to enjoy it. Most shows are like this, but they are killed before they can shine.

Holy crap, was that MacGyver on "Raising Hope" last night? I know the guy's like 60 years old but did he ever balloon. He needs to call Shatner for contact info for his Canadian man-girdle supplier.

Was there more than 1 ep on last night? Because the one I caught didn't have Richard Dean Anderson that I remember...
