TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[TGantz]

Anyone watch Outsourced? For a comedy competing with primetime shows on Thursday nights (Bones, Fringe, Grey's Anatomy, etc.), I don't think it's getting much notice. I find it to be relatively entertaining, considering there aren't too many good comedies on TV anymore. Plus the Aussie girl is pretty smokin'.

I just watched the movie that the show is based off of. Good movie. They Americanized the [expletive] out of the TV show though.

The QVC host on The Amazing Race (well, one of them) has to be the peppiest person on the planet. If she wasn't smoking hot, I'd be truly annoyed.

Nobody in the promos for this show "Glory Daze" on TBS actually looks like they're from the 80's.

Those promos, and that show in general, need to go away. Why not just call it "That 80's Show" and be done with it?

Walking Dead has been renewed for a 2nd season already. Episode 2 was even better than 1 and it was absolutely amazing.

I'm already mad there's only 6 episodes this season.

I'm hoping they start in on Season 2 pretty soon. If you want a good laugh, read the official statements from AMC execs about the success and renewal:

AMC announced today the renewal of "The Walking Dead" for a 13-episode second season. Since debuting Sunday, October 31, "The Walking Dead" has broken ratings records, with the series reaching more Adults 18-49 than any other show in the history of cable television.

Today's announcement also includes Fox International Channels' (FIC) global renewal for a second season, following record-breaking premiere ratings in 120 countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. "The Walking Dead" was the highest-rated original series premiere ever to air on FIC simultaneously worldwide.

"The 'Dead' has spread!" said Charlie Collier, President, AMC. "No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as 'The Walking Dead.' This reaffirms viewers' hunger for premium television on basic cable. We are so proud to be bringing back 'The Dead' again, across the globe."

Ratings Highlights for The Walking Dead - Episode 2, which premiered on AMC Sunday, 11/7:

* 10pm airing - 3.1 HH rating with over 4.7 million viewers;
* Adults 18-49 - 3.3 million viewers;
* Adults 25-54 - 2.8 million viewers;

* Adults 25-54 - 3.1 million viewers;
* Men 18-49 - 2.0 million viewers;


"I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one," said Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP Scripted Programming. "'The Walking Dead' is a TV masterpiece on so many levels. We want at least 10 seasons, if not more. Kudos to AMC!"

Some guy actually said "the Dead has spread!"

And keep in mind Miss Yguado works for AMC.

I'm recording Walking Dead to start after Dexter and Boardwalk Empire finish up. Maybe that will help shorten the wait until the next season, though I'll probably just shoot through them in 2-3 sittings.
