Cali Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I might be in the minority on Mad Men, but I found seasons three and four FAR superior to one and two. Especially the first season, the snails pace it went was a little rough, but the acting and characters were too good to give up. The pace picked up in the later seasons without sacrificing any of the acting or character development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much with every episode come the "holy s*** this show just keeps getting better and better" comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Not that those seasons were BAD, I just know some people who LOVED the first two seasons, and only liked (still a lot) the later stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Did anyone else watch Bob's Burgers? I thought the pilot was a somewhat successful mix of clever and crude humor. Will give it another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 "Shameless" on Showtime was a great pilot, despite the joke made about White Sox fans! "Episodes", on the other hand, might have been the worst pilot I can recall ever watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty much a summation of the first two Nolan Batman movies, which isn't altogether bad since they were both great. I guess I was able to look past that little aspect of it so I'll watch it again if I don't forget to. Haven't ever really religiously followed TV shows.

I'm glad it's on at night on Sunday, though, since I need replacements for all of the great programming that's usually on at that time. William H. Macy is pretty great, so I expect it to be at least decent. Â And yes, what was the joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, there was the whole big deal that Duck would be the president of the newly merged company and he just never appears again. And no one even mentions his name anymore.
