I finally finished The Americans. Watched the last 7 episodes in 3 days. In-Credible! the back-and-forth romance between Phillip & Elizabeth was a bit inconsistent, but the pay-off was great on it. The set up for next season was good too, with a new status quo for nearly everyone. Network shows always seem to do a shake up for a cliff hanger then a let down after the premier to return things to a neat package. FX seems to steer clear of this and I hope The Americans stays true to its course.

prob be starting it over now, thanks...hbo on the go is awesome (esp when i don't have to pay for it)
I thought the ending was amazing and perfect. Live or die, the point was Tony is always on watch. He could get whacked at any moment. The suspense Chase built in that scene was incredible. The fact everyone still talks about it is evidence of its greatness.

I enjoyed last night's "Mad Men", because they lightened up on the whole "Don is a douchebag loser" plot thread.

I am watching Arrested Development for the first time, starting at episode one. Had no idea that Michael Cera was in the show.

The first episode started a little slow and way too winky but it picked up nicely. Looking forward to the rest.

The Workaholics cameo was a head-scratcher.

Lots of cameos, but I've mostly enjoyed them. Kristen Wiig as the younger Lucille 1 is phenomenal.

i have today off as well but i've been delaying watching the new season. its weird, i've waited so long and now that they're here i kinda want to wait some more. but i will probably start today. i am afraid i'll just binge them all, which isn't the worst thing, but i should stretch it out, "enjoy" it more. oh well.

We binged through about 10 of them, but it's hard because they can be so painfully cringeworthy. GOB's episode is particularly difficult, we had to take a break after that one.
