I'm going to watch this new episode of Last Man on Earth sensing that something comes up where he doesn't get to shag January Jones. Gilligans Island was successful because they had that same allure..oh to be stranded on tropical island with Ginger and MaryAnn , but stayed platonic. show would be over otherwise. Just a hunch

I was just introduced to the Korean show "The Genius."

I've only watched the first episode of the first season, but holy cow, I think I've found a new favorite. If you like shows like The Mole, check this one out.

You have to watch (at least) 3 episodes of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt". You just have to. If you watch the whole season you will be rewarded with untold gifts.

It is [expletive] hilarious.

I'll tell you this: the endings couldn't be more different.

I sat through 6 episodes, just because all of the great reviews on it, but had to just stop...it's just not funny/good. there's a couple moments every few episodes that make me chuckle, but not enough to keep watching. most of the time, after an episode my wife and i would look at each other and say, "what the [expletive] did we just watch???"

Bloodline is good. Coach Taylor rules and Ben Mendelsohn is a human coyote.

So, that Walking Dead last night...

[SHOW]
Rick really lost it. Again... I can't blame him. But the guy has quite the temper. He handeled that situation about as poorly as possible. Cool that Michonne shut Rick up before he did something even stupider.
Glenn is awesome, but I'm fearful for him. I hope Sasha comes around.
The clan can't leave Alexandria all ready can they? Plus Daryl's out on his own and onto something, but I'm not sure what.
Glad we got to see the Senator ladies skeltons. She seemed too good to be true.

Finally finished this season (3) of House of Cards. It was a real slog. Entire plotlines (like doug's efforts to track down Rachel) dragged out over 13 episodes when they could have been adequately handled in 1 or 2. The Russians were a big deal, until they weren't. Nothing happens at all. You spend a lot of time sitting around Airforce 1.

Then, they save all of the actual drama and ruthlessness that we watch HOC to see for the final episode of the season. The last episode is a real tension builder. Sadly, it's the only one that was worth watching.
