For those mentioning Community...I love that show, but it's doomed, gets crap ratings and looks sure to be canceled. Don't know why. It's awesome.

I don't know a damned thing about Justified, thig. I've never watched anything on FX before. How good is it, exactly? I know Bob and Dan are always prattling on about The Shield and Sons of Anarchy (which, btw, could not possibly have less interesting subject matter to me) but...I don't know. I have popped my cable tv cherry yet. Never watched any original series on TNT or FX or anything like that.

I really like it, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. I've never watched The Shield or Sons of Anarchy either.

BTW, if you've watched Breaking Bad then you've popped your cable cherry.

Are FX shows the same quality as breaking bad? If that's the case I will definitely give them a try...I was just under the impression that Breaking Bad was more...HBO quality than TNT/FX quality.

Speaking of which, watched Boardwalk Empire recently. Loved it.

I wouldn't say FX shows have quite the same depth of something like Boardwalk Empire. But I enjoy both Justified and The Walking Dead, both of which are on FX.

I don't watch it, but it's sad how many good comedies have suffered this fate over the past 8-10 years. Hell, even Parks got pushed back to a midseason start this year. That's never a good sign.

That's because Parks is horrible.

And I cannot believe they kept it. My wife and I were horrified to see it was coming back in the winter. We were content thinking it had been cancelled.

I don't watch Parks either, so I have no comment on that. I just know a lot of people who like it (and a lot of people who like Community, too).

No accounting for taste, I suppose.

Amy Poehler = unwatchable, IMO.
