There's not many that appeal to me this year. Just two NBC sitcoms that look decent

Also, The Newsroom (obv)

I may give Revolution a go, although I'm not completely sold by the trailer. I can't seem to remember the last time a really decent new drama has come out of Network television

I think I can tell I almost definitely won't like these without watching the trailers. ;p

Vegas, Revolution and Red Widow looked like the best of those.

I might give Do No Harm a go.

I second 'network television usually sux'.

I've now watched five episodes of Arrested Development and must confess I just don't get the plaudits. It's like 30 Rock -- I'm on season 3, it's a 'laugh on the inside' kind of show. Clever but not necessarily laugh out loud funny but I appreciate the wit and multitude of references. I admit to finding Modern Family funnier in a sense. Maybe this is because when I put on a comedy I shut off and let it do it's thing so I don't want a subtle variety of jokes all the time.

Malcolm in the Middle was bloody good too in the day. Another reason why I like Breaking Bad (Bryan Cranston).

Malcolm In The Middle ****ing sucked. And I hated Cranston in it.

The first thing I remember seeing him in was The X-Files, and he was (I think) one of the more memorable villains of the week kinda characters. But I really can't stand MITM. I started watching Breaking Bad when it first aired and part of what got me hooked was that he was just so ****ing good by comparison.

Finished with exams, time to get TV-watching. About to start on Luck

A-Levels?

Last few Community episodes were either in-your-face-awesome or merely okay. I felt like the finale was rushed into but the episode before that was pretty good. Nice to see a cameo from Hermanos Pollos. Also liked the one episode long Chang-Pierce bromance.

Here's to hoping that next season doesn't suck. I can't help but feel a little disappointed, though. I now know how my old teachers may have felt when they said "Oh, but he had so much potential...".

Also wrote something a few weeks ago. Made a thread about it here. May have some influences of the TV shows I watch seeing as I've been spending more and more time with TV shows and barely any with books as of late.
