Shows other than Scrubs

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

Yeah, I'm trying not to dwell on that. I feel like we're being denied our rightful allotment.
I guess we should grateful NBC didn't just pull the plug altogether.

Two great Community bits today:

#6seasonsandamovie...could it really happen?
It's looking likely that NBC will greenlight a 13 episode sixth season, and maybe a movie?

Plus, a clip from the GI Joe episode.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

People convinced me to watch the Joe homage episode, and I loved it. Obviously, some NBC execs got wind of this, and they simply cannot allow a show I love to stay on TV.

In the future, I'll try not to watch anything until after it's canceled.

Whatever. Netflix (or one of 20 cable networks) will snap it right up.

Just like everyone did with Firefly.

Oh, wait.

Catch Robbery Homicide this fall. I know I will.
I was just flipping through to see what's on TV and saw an episode of Miami Vice about half way through the episode. Liam Neeson was talking to the principal from The Breakfast Club. The villain from The Spy Who Loved Me and From Russia With Love and the guy who played The Lawnmower Man were also in it.

I knew Miami Vice had guest stars every week, I just didn't realize how many.

Another one episode of Miami Vice just came on. Guest stars are Brian Dennehy, Ben Stiller, and the guy from Top Gun who told Tom Cruise that his ego was writing checks his body couldn't cash.

Oh, and would Arrested Development fall into the same category as Firefly? Except instead of a movie, they did another season on Netflix. And, I will admit I didn't watch either until well after they were cancelled.

I have all the Miami Vice DVDs. Love that show. It jumped the shark around the middle of the fourth season with a stupid alien abduction episode. But it came back strong for the final fifth season when Crockett got amnesia and actually thought he was drug lord Burnett.


Arrested Development and Veronica Mars, while still a tragedy they got cancelled before their deserved to, still got 3 seasons. Firefly only got half a season putting it in a class by itself as the greatest television tragedy ever

Well, yeah. Just this whole internet thing seems to be leading to a new fragmentation of media outlets. :(
