**** if this isn't the truth. i hate the kids on the show, kill them. bring that loose chick with them and get back on the road.

The actress (Lauren Cohen) also played Bela Talbot from season 3 of Supernatural. I kind of liked her character despite her screwing with the Winchester boys but negative fan reaction was part of the reason she was killed off.

Thanks captain spolier alert, ahhaha I keeeed I keeed.

Hey, Mass, now that you know what's in the Herschal's barn here's a preview of the next episode...

P.S. Don't read the comic book series the show is based upon.

It's called sarcasm, I've read them all except the last 12 which I have sitting on my dresser waiting in the que.

I have to agree with you... I'm really hoping the payoff to the "Herschel Farm" storyline is going to be worth it. It was in the graphic novels and I know they want to keep things fresh with the television show, but I just can't see how they wouldn't bring in that major plot point.

Kind of bummed that production has stopped with Prime Suspect. Was starting to like that show. But with NBC, if a show does not get Friends level ratings it will have a short life span. Just like Life did.

I was said to see that Community is on the chopping block it seems, that is one of the smartest shows on TV but will probably be let go because it doesn't seem to appeal to a large enough audience.

Last season NBC axed Trauma. I really liked that show...

I only caught a part of a couple episodes but really liked what I saw. The main actress was just on Ferguson's show. I never watched the original British show, was curious how similar they were but not enough to actually do any work surfing the internet for reviews. I figured it probably didn't matter becuase anyone who really loved the Brit show would be biased aainst the U.S. version anyway.

Yeah I never watched prime suspect. A lot of the new shows this season didn't look interesting to me.

I had not heard this yet... that sucks. I have very few shows I consider "appointment" tv and Community is one of them. I agree, easily one of the smartest shows on tv - great for pop-culture nerds.

 

[supraman]

Anyone remember Sports Night on ABC. That was another really smart show. I loved the humor in that show

 

[LaurenNMU]

Maria Bello is really good on prime suspect and i like it but i won't be terribly upset if it gets canceled or anything, i'm not too attached to it like i am to some other new shows

I guess it's not on the chopping block yet per se, but they have put it on a bit of a hiatus to get some other shows out there I guess. Apparently it's ratings are not the greatest even though it has one of those very strong followings.

Yeah, I read that last night... Community has what I call "Scrubs" followings... there's a group of people who watch it religiously and are large enough for the network to worry about, but not large enough that revenue dollars are created by them so the Network knows they don't have to worry about doing any extravagant marketing to them.

I DVR 2 hours of NBC every Thursday. Community is good. Makes me giggle.

And going off the air for awhile....maybe for good.



Edit: Just saw the previous posts about it so disregard mine.

This latest Arrested Development talk had better not be a joke, still it involves Netflix so...

The Walking Dead was a bit better this week but the whole Lori preggers thing is feeling a bit dragged out to me. Shane as a character got a lot more interesting. I loved his threat to the nosy old man. Also I think the daughter is joining the cast as a regular and I think it has to do with the barn. Although the barn cliffhanger from the last episode was a bit of a let down. And it is just me or does Dale look like he's super uber pale.

 

[supraman]

Oh I think I figured it out. The little girl is going to be found as a walker, probably near the farm, the mom will beg them to not kill her, the farm owner will offer to put her in the barn and the mom will stay behind.

 

[winos5]

What the hell is a mid-season finale? I'd like to **** punch the mother fucking marketing wiz that came up with that idea.



Thought last night's show was another good one.



I always miss the 8 pm show and catch the 10 pm one after warming up with Hell on Wheels. My wife and daughter hate Walking Dead, something about night mares or some shit...
