Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I liked the first season of Dead Like Me but I stone adored the second season where we got a lot more of the not-George cast. Loved Wonderfalls, but loved Pushing Daisies even completely more.
Currently I'm starting on the second season of Breaking Bad which is just blowing me away. I'm a lot more educated about addiction issues now, and I can see how they're working that into the series.
There are shows I like, and shows I didn't. There are a bunch that people have loved here - that I think I should love, but I don't.
And what about Arrested Development?
OMFG, AD is my sister's SPN. We are at loggerheads. She might win, because everyone says that starting with the Charlize episodes is the worst ever, and her SPN issues are more insurmountable. But we face off regularly on the "well, I won't watch your show because you won't watch mine" front. And still send each other crap about them.

Well, that is true. But mostly I was asking Beth about AD because I loaned her the DVDs.
I tried the Newsweek thing and nothing happened. Is it Firefox? Or the fact that I'm on a Mac?
I tried it in IE7 on a PC and it worked for me. Dunno.
This would be a cruel cliffhanger for Annie, if anyone cared.
AHA! I had to turn off the "start to search when typing" function. Now I see it. Hee.
AD is my all time favorite comedy, but the Charlize eps are the weakest point of the series. It's also not a "background" show where you can have it on, glance occasionally, and get pulled in by the occasional zingers. You need to pay attention to it since it's so heavy on the callbacks and development. But, it's probably not for everyone.
Has anyone heard of a British show from the early 1990s called "Waiting for God"? Charlie gave me the series for my birthday and I've never hoid of it.
"Waiting for God"--crotchety old folks in a retirement community. Pretty funny and sometimes wrenching.
everyone says that starting with the Charlize episodes is the worst ever,
Everyone is right - Charlize was an unusual low point for that show. (It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the writers figured out about halfway through that the plot was a dud, but had to finish it anyway because Charlize was contracted for X # of eps.)
