Little known fact: The Walking Dead is based on a true story.

I think I like Justified better, but yes, it is fantastic.

Just started watching The Tudors on Netflix. So far so good

sorry everyone. Daryl is by the best character and possibly the only good character.

Love it, why would anyone want to wait week to week and have to endure commercials. Give me the whole season at once so I can knock it out in an 18 hour period. Netflix is amazing

Been watching House of Cards on Netflix. Its so close to being really good, but just not there. Not much of an overarching storyline and most conflict is resolved in each episode. Spacey is good, but the talking directly to the camera crap just screams of not taking time to develop characters.

Just started this last night. I like it. I'm intrigued by the storyline. So far the characters are interesting. My balls are had.

Netflix says they want 5 new shows every year. If they are all this good, Netflix making a great move here.

I am really enjoying The Following. Hopefully it gets good ratings, Fox loves to cancel shows.

Also, tonights episode of Top Gear

The Following is getting decent ratings. I don't think it's in danger of getting cancelled.

Is anyone here a Wonder Years connoisseur? I'd like to blow a huge ass hole in this show in a Limestonesque fashion.

Remember the character Cara who lives by the lake that Kevin's family goes to for vacation every summer? Well throughout the whole show, Fred Savage refers to her as "Car-a", but towards the end, Daniel Stern refers to her as "Care-a". Did someone read the script wrong and nobody cared to correct them? I mean, it kind of makes sense. Maybe the people who worked in the narration booth didn't have much else to work with besides the script, so they just assumed it was pronounced "Care-a" and they never were in touch with the people who recorded the acting until it was too late to fix. Don't know, just a thought.

I doubt they will be this good. They won't have a Spacey to anchor and David Fincher on board for another series. They are spending 50m per season on this, which they couldn't do again. Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean worse, but it does make it harder to be good. Arrested Development's return will have my balls though

I really think Netflix just needs to bankroll BSG: Blood and Chrome. Between Arrested Development and that, I think they would be set for awhile.

I like it ok, just always thought it was pretty overrated. Parks & Rec is way better, imo

I really like Community, but I haven't seen it since Dan Harmon got fired and they buried it on Friday night. I guess it is coming back to Thursday though?

The Wonder Years and Life Goes On are both amazing shows from that time
