Don't know if everyone's seen this.
Sad, but totally understandable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had not seen that. I will miss her a lot, but that totally makes sense.

I didn't really like the Selfie pilot, but I like Karen Gillan and John Cho and the premise could be interesting (or could go terribly terribly wrong) so I think I will give it another watch if my DVR isn't too full next week. No season pass yet, though.

Always Anti-fascist!
I thought it was cute, too.

I didn't hate it, but I also know that I would not have even considered watching it if Karen Gillian hadn't been the star.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I showed for Cho (his neck looks great!), and really hope it irons itself out. I'm currently in the phase where I want anvils to fall on everyone's head. Her came is so on the button it's distracted, but I just hope that.
I've seen two posters for it--one with just Cho and Gillian, and one with a bunch of (presumably co-workers) people yukking it up. I hope it grows up into the second show
Man, Raising Hope and Community got me back into sitcoms after a long time off, but it's definitely about the show talent, not the genre.

I find I'm really enjoying The Mindy Project these days, but I have to avoid New Girl because the increasingly strong urge to punch out Zooey Deschanel endangers the TV set and it's not mine to break.

Hey. New board.
I watched the first episode of that show with the mother from HIMYM. It was pretty good and cute. Not mindblowingly anything yet but enjoyable enough.

I recorded that but haven't watched it yet.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I didn't know there was a show with her! After HIMYM I would watch her do anything (especially if they can contrive to have her sing some Piaf while doing it). Anything except breed a brood and then die mostly offscreen after about eleven seconds of exposition so that her grieving spouse can scurry off to rekindle a romance nobody but the showrunners still cares about. Seeing her do that once was more than enough.
Not that I'm still bitter about it or anything. Heaven forfend!
