Amy Poehler is not funny.

My wife has forced me to stick with "Dollhouse" these many weeks...it's finally getting good with 3 or 4 VERY solid episodes in a row. Not sure why they started off so bland and sh!tty...

Just another example of why every single show out there should go for a more mythology heavy approach. Week by week doesn't work any more. It's boring.

Dollhouse has been tackling more background/mythology heavy stuff lately, and it's working.

[Dirkgreatness]

Awesome Chuck episode today. I can't wait for next week! The promo looked pretty cool.

[TheMaverick]

you know what's an addicting show?

The Hank Haney project on the Golf Channel.

[mqywaaah]

True Blood, Californication, 24, Pushing Daisies, Burn Notice as of today

[Flacolaco]

Apparently Chuck got killed in the ratings again last night.... prepare yourselves.

[u2sarajevo]

That is unfortunate.... because it was already good before last nights awesome episode... I can't wait for next week. I hope they at least let the rest of the season play out.

I hate American TV watchers. Maybe to save chuck they could put 5 minute "reality" bits in where viewers see who can slice a banana into 15 pieces the fastest. Maybe then the ratings would soar. And then for a season finale they could do a 10 minute bit where the banana bits from all the episodes have to be eaten by the one that did it the fastest or somesuch. I smell a winner.

[Flacolaco]

For people who watch FRINGE....Apparently Leonard Nimoy's going to be on the show in some capacity. That's pretty awesome.

edit: wow u2...you should work for FOX!!

[Flacolaco]

No NBC has not (yet) cancelled Chuck but it is still not sure whether the series get renewed…

With that said, fans of Chuck will not be happy. But a CW insider can tell www.series.nu exclusive that Dawn Ostroff, President of Entertainment of The CW likes Chuck. And if NBC cancels the series, there is a chance that The CW take over Chuck.

[u2sarajevo]

I hear that about pretty much every series I get interested in and gets canceled (off the top of my head I can think of 2 recent shows, Pushing Daisies and Jericho)... that either CW or SciFi will scoop it up. But that never happens.

What series has CW ever taken over? I can think of none.

[Big Boy Laroux]

yeah, it's always rumored, but never happens.

mqywaaah - PD was cancelled.

[alby]

Robin Scherbatsky looked pregnant.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

The newest Chuck was really good. I don't believe it will ever get good ratings though being on at 7 at monday. Terrible time slot. Also, I don't see how you can accurately rate shows these days with DVRs/Tivo and the internet. I mostly watch Chuck on hulu online.

Lastly, networks are going to have to start to come up with titles of shows that give more insight onto what type of show the viewer will be watching. "Chuck" gives 0 description and sounds boring. Every person who I have recommended Chuck to who haven't seen it know positively nothing about it. I only watched and got into the show because of these message boards.

[Flacolaco]

That err..."creature" on FRINGE last night was awesome.

[jthig32]

Just a friendly reminder (not that anyone has done it) but let's keep this thread Fringe spoiler free. Thanks.

[Flacolaco]

Don't worry thig...I'm just trying to tell you about the awesomeness you have ahead of you

Who were you being courteous to?

I watched episodes 2 and 3 of Comedy Central's new series “Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire” and it's DVR worthy if nothing else. There were a handful of laugh out loud moments. For those that enjoyed HBO's Little Britain, the fat guy is the villain in this show.

[u2sarajevo]

I watched Fringe at lunch today. Interesting, huh.... I guess we can't talk about it?

Is it in danger of being axed? If it isn't maybe we should start a thread for it because I'd like to find out peoples thoughts on last night.

[Flacolaco]

I believe that Fringe is like 95% for season 2.

I'm just asking for no spoilers on the over arcing mysteries of the series. I'm sure you could talk about a lot of the day-to-day stuff without spoiling much.

And in my original request I mentioned perhaps starting a thread if you wanted to discuss it. I'm down with that.

[u2sarajevo]

From the looks of it, maybe we should start that thread in the mod lounge....

[jthig32]

Ha. Is it just the three of us watching it? Or the two of you and me catching up in the summer, anyway.

[Flacolaco]

I think Murph has mentioned it before...but I can't think of anyone else. Too bad...it's a good show.

I guess everyone else here just turns the tv off right when american idol ends before Fringe starts

edit: Which reminds me. thig...they've been starting the show late the last two weeks because idol runs over. Incredibly annoying. So if you've just been setting the DVR you won't have all of what you need. Last week in particular was a good 5 or 6 minutes off.

I'm not DVRing. I shall acquire. Thanks for the heads up though.

[Murphy3]

I haven't seen the last couple of episodes of Fringe.... I'll catch up at some point, but it's not high on my TV priority list right now. Sure, it's one of my shows, but not one of the top 5 or anything.

[left texas]

I am so far behind times. I mentioned early my wife got me hooked on Bones, and now on Boston Legal. I guess I will catch up with you guys in say about 10 years.

I'm in on it. Like Murph I'm two shows behind but that's not unusual for me. House and Friday Night Lights are the only current shows that never go above 1 on the DVR.

[Murphy3]

I love House and FNL... two absolutely great shows. I do think that House has some mediocre writing at times, but it just doesn't matter simply because the lead character is a briliant actor and this role is perfect for him.

As for FNL, it's just a wonderfully acted and written drama. It's also odd that a show based upon "high school" kids does such an incredible job with what the adult storylines.

[u2sarajevo]

Pushing Daisies final 3 episodes will begin airing on 5/30/09.

The final 4 Eli Stones will begin airing 6/20/09

Got the information for both from TV.com.

[alby]

just saw a commercial for next week's Chuck, wow! O_O

sad.

[TheMaverick]

do you think they will tie it into the show (like Lisa Kudrow)?

or will they continue to try to hide it?

[jthig32]

Well they hid the other chick's, and they've already done one episode of hiding Robin's...

[TheMaverick]

they should tie it in, and give us a clue about the mother at the same time.

[Big Boy Laroux]

no way they should tie it in. I loved how they did it with Lily - with a big wink at the audience. Hiding her behind globes, basketball, etc. And then having her take a 4 week hiatus because of a nasty joke.

[Flacolaco]

I happened to be flipping channels and came across some new show on Fox called "Sit down Shut Up". It made me giggle for a second and was clearly very...different, so I hit record.

I watched it just now, and I'm slightly embarrassed to say...it was pretty funny. Ridiculously stupid, but kind of funny. It's animated, but the backgrounds are real pictures of live action places.

http://sitdownshutupwiki.fox.com/

[TheMaverick]

yeah you're right. maybe I just want to know something about the mother and it's frustrating me lol.

[Flacolaco]

Along with Fox's sci-fi duo, the most discussed bubble show online is NBC's "Chuck," which finally showed a ratings uptick this past week but is still performing marginally despite a strong fan base. The dramedy's chances also have been hurt by the promising start of NBC's police drama "Southland," as the network will have only few hourlong slots in the fall when Jay Leno takes over the 10 p.m. hour every night.

Another NBC Monday series, the modestly rated but reliable procedural "Medium," is said to have slightly better odds to return than "Chuck," while the quirky cop drama "Life" is expected to join "Kath & Kim" on cancellation row.

...

Medium???? F#$king Medium?

Crap... I like that main guy from Band of Brothers.

[jthig32]

So I'm going to lose Chuck and Life, and Lost won't return until February obviously.

I hope Southland sticks, I've enjoyed the first two episodes of it.
