I just started watching this a few weeks ago and I like it a lot. It has such a variety of fascinating characters, engaging and realistic plot twists and turns, and attention to historical ambience in every regard. I especially like watching how this diverse group of folks is learning to make a life (or not) in community together. We see the toughness and creativity of everyone as each tries to make a life for himself or herself up against the raw edges of ethnic, racial, gender, social, and economic barriers...all while trying to figure out where justice lies. A fascinating show!

3 episodes in, and I'm still into REVOLUTION. Charlie remains my primary draw; I was worried the show would become way too depressing but the glimmers of hope (like episode 3's ending) are very nice. Yeah, I know a show like TWD is probably a LOT more depressing in theory, but the fantasy element (zombies) just makes it different for me. REVOLUTION could threaten to just turn into a "people being awful to each other just because they can now" show, but I think that worry has been addressed in episode 3 somewhat.

Some incredibly implausible bits in the second Last Resort episode, but I'm still digging the show quite a bit. We'll see where it goes.

Season 5 DVD of Burn Notice. It's getting a bit repetitious and I don't really care for the new bad guy. Fi is still easy to look at.

I watched the pilot of the West Wing last week ...
I think I will be addicted if I start watching it.
Its so 90s. and Alyson Janney!!!
*sigh* However, I bet its not a satire anymore because real life politics have surpassed the fictional in its absurdity.

The West Wing is completely addicting... one of my favorite all time shows!
If you like the West Wing, you'll also like the Newsroom...
Right now, I'm watching season 1 of Homeland... I wasn't into it at first, but I've been sucked in...

REVOLUTION is losing me quickly. Too many of the characters are just really annoying to me.
Really digging VEGAS, however, which actually seems to be getting better with successive episodes. And looking forward to NASHVILLE's premiere tomorrow night.

Last night, I watched a couple of Greg The Bunny eps on disc, followed by the Marx Bros. in At The Circus.
Just what the doctor ordered.

I am so addicted to the West Wing ... I feel like I'm part of the cast ... I love my new friends.
I dropped 666. the biggest disappointment. I dropped Last Resort and Revolution.
Gossip Girl is in its final season and its pretty sad that that is the only show besides Star Trek TNG that I have followed straight through in real time as it aired.
I'm hanging in there for Elementary.

I've only seen episode 1 of the Newsroom, I really liked it, I don't have cable so I will have to wait until I can download it.

I'd rather Terry O'Quinn go back to Hawaii Five-0, so I'm pretty much hoping 666 gets cancelled.

I'm sure the viewers want some Terry O'Quinn and Vanessa Williams evil badnassery! Did we get that with episode 2? no, we got a story about some random lady. I'm not in it to see random Tales from the Darkseid one offs! I want to see Vanessa Williams snap that blonde lady's spine! and then I want to see Vanessa and Terry turn on each other! From episode two it seems like its not gonna be what I want for at least 10 or 11 episodes ... so I'm out. PEES!
notice how I spelled "dark side" .... that was unintentional.

I traveled all last week for work and missed all the shows (thankfully saw Walking Dead though).
I realized I didn't care all that much that I missed any of them. Only Vegas and Mob Doctor have me anxious to check in...for now.

Crap! Just when I was ready to give up on the show, I really like the latest episode!
Totally saw the twist at the end coming, but it worked well nonetheless! Neville's story was actually pretty interesting, and the Jeff Fahey appearance was pretty much awesome!
