Brian, finally saw the episode last night. Great finale. And that last duel was phenomenal.

I turned that show off after Futurama last night haha (I didnt give it a chance).

 

Anyways for summer programming I suggest:

 

True Blood

 

Whale Wars

 

Im on the fence about:

 

Expedition Africa

 

Goode Family

That new HBO show starring Thomas Jane looks like it could be funny.

That Brad vs. Landon duel was awesome. Smart move by Brad to go after the ring like he did.

I haven't seen the show, but it seems like a rip-off of The Soup, just with internet clips, and a less funny host...

I concur with Cali.

I watched that clip and got 1:40 into it without even cracking a smile...so yeah...i probably wont be watching....

Episode Two of Weeds

was OK....nothing overly special. Nice to see our first rough sex scene. They could have worked with what was happening to Shane and Silas more.

I'm in the pro Tosh.0 camp. Good stuff.

Scrubs setting moving

 

 

Scrubs boss Bill Lawrence said his cancellation-defying comedy would undergo an extreme makeover in its ninth season, and, man, he wasn't kidding. When the show returns next winter, the action will shift from the hospital to the classroom and make med-school professors of John C. McGinley's Dr. Cox and Donald Faison's Turk.

 

"It'll be a lot like Paper Chase as a comedy," Lawrence tells me. "It's going to be a different show. It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad."

 

 

Of course, Sacred Heart won't go away altogether. Although J.D.'s old stomping ground no longer will serve as the show's base of operations, the students will occasionally rotate through its halls -- and bump into many of its familiar faces. In addition to McGinley and Faison, both of whom are expected to be full-time regulars alongside a quartet of newbies (most of them playing students), Scrubs vets Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins have agreed to make guest appearances. (Neil Flynn has a costarring role as Patricia Heaton's husband in the new ABC sitcom The Middle, so his name-challenged Janitor will be MIA.)

 

"Med students in their first three years have to spend anywhere from 10 to 50 percent of their time at a hospital," Lawrence explains. "And that's when you'll see some of the [original cast members]. Continuity-wise, Sacred Heart will still exist with those people still working there."

 

But Lawrence insists "half the cast, if not 60 percent of it," will be comprised of freshmen, one of which will be more recognizable than the rest. "[ABC] is really after us to hire a big name," he reveals. "So one of them will be fairly famous."

 

I'm really thinking they should of just ended with that great finale last year.

 

I would love to see some Cox rants to students, but sounds less then spectacular.

Bryan Fuller leaving Heroes again...there does any hope for that show....

What? Why?

I don't know if anyone else here is a fan of America's Got Talent but I think the show is a good summertime show. Like American Idol...it's got people that do have talent and they do show the people that don't as well. The one thing about this show that absolutely drives me up the freakin' wall is when they do have a good/great act on stage...the director spends so much time doing all these camera cuts that you wind up missing two thirds of the act!!! you know...if there is a good dance group on...i don't need to have 3 cuts backstage to the host Nick Cannon making some stupid pun. Nick Cannon....count your lucky stars you can go home and bang Mariah Carey and STFU. I guess i understand you need a reaction shot or two from the judges but come on....let me see the performer

A new HBO series coming this fall, "Bored to Death", is probably going to be amazing.

- Zach Galifianakis, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Kristin Wiig

Bored to Death

 

Also looking forward to "The Pacific" a new miniseries from Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg that promises to be on the level of Band of Brothers.

The Pacific

 

As for Hung, the first episode was pretty good.

I have been a fan of Zach Galifianakis for years and I hope he has lots of success, but it is going to really bother me to see a bunch of people suddenly jump on his bandwagon and annoint him the funniest guy ever (and he is easily one of the funniest) simply based on The Hangover.

Either tattoo "I was the original Galifianakis fan" on your head or get over it. I'd never seen him in anything before The Hangover, and don't think he's the funniest person on the planet, but I am excited for him in this show.

 

You can either get upset about it or embrace it because it means there will be a lot more of him around.

I imagine that's because before 'The Hangover,' none of his movies were funny, and because his name comes from stand-up comedy - not Hollywood.

Don't take it personally, jeez.

You ever see the week he was the guest host on Jimmy Kimmel?
