Maybe it's some kind of calculated shot at lowest common denominator? Somebody thinking that if crap is popular maybe making a particularly crappy sitcom will be a winner?
Kinda hurts to watch, whatever the root cause.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Brooklyn 99, otoh, is working for me. Granted, getting to see Andre Braugher play a cop again goes a long way, but the rest of it could have ruined that and didn't, so, yay.

I liked Brooklyn Nine-Nine, too.

Continuing my catching up on Tuesday night comedies: New Girl came back strong, but I'm not sure about adding James Franco to Mindy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, this last season of How I Met Your Mother is going to kill me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I really liked the premiere episodes, especially that last scene. I didn't expect them to give us a Ted/Mother scene so early, but it was a smart choice because now I really care about watching him finally fucking meet her. They're adorable together.

I though they were both annoying! Both episodes, not both Ted and The Mother. She was OK.

Hey. New board.
I liked them. Not the greatest but no more annoying than himym is normally.

I was already annoyed last season, and was just going to see it out, and then they sprung another season on me! Maybe I should just skip the next 16 episodes.

Thrive to spite them
My least favorite character in HIMYM is Ted. Ted is annoying and I know the character is written that way but I think a good chunk of the annoyance comes from the actor and his choices.
I really want to see Barney and Robin's Married Life Together. With their neighbors Lily and Marshall.
