I fell down a rabbit hole on YouTube watching Legends of the Hidden Temple. I would've given anything to be on this show when I was 10.

The same might still be true as I'm pushing 30.

Robot Chicken's take:


Legends of the Hidden Temple was [expletive] awesome.

So the preacher is just missing on Walking Dead and it isn't addressed at all. Unless I missed something.

He was there as they arrived at the gates. You can see him in the back of this pic.

Funniest part of the Last Man On Earth was when he punched the water.

Looks like it has potential. Will continue to watch.

Did anyone else notice how long the commercial breaks were?

I'm late to the game here, but we bought Mad Men last night and started watching that. 2 episodes in and I really like it. Is the general consensus that it's a pretty good series?

One of the best. Not an action-packed thrill ride, but really compelling characters and some sneaky humor.

I started re-watching it to prepare for the final season and I was struck by how much of the writing early on was a lot of "Man, it sure was different back then. Listen to what he's going to say to this lady!" I'm glad they settled in and lost the novelty stuff like the neighbor slapping the kid that wasn't his and the forced misogyny. I know that was how it was, but it was a little forced early on.

Walking Dead was really good last night, best it's been in a long time outside of action heavy episodes. Actually got some humor for a change.

Two episodes into "The Amazing Race" and the "blind date" format is just as bad as I feared it would be.

I can't even believe this is the same show as that hunk of [expletive] that had Andrea, Dale, and Shane on it 4 years ago. I think this has been, by far, the best season and it's not even close (though last year was a step up, too).

The recorded interview thing was a heck of a plot device to show us everyone's state of mind.
