I'm glad I held off watching the second season now.

Nope. His first move is obviously going to be the following: Use his connections at Fox to get Brooklyn Nine-Nine axed, blackmail CBS in canceling NCIS: Gumbo edition, and then revive Men of A Certain Age.
I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
Now I can go back to ignoring Lifetime.

It's doing great. Full season pickup.
cool. I like the lady,she has great chemistry with anderson. The kids are...fine mostof the time, but like I said, that spanking episode was particulary bad with the kids. Morpheus is surprisingly good in the role.
I see some pages back that Sleepy Hollow is tanking, well that is a shame. Gotham seems to be doing ok-ish? Hows Brooklyn 99, thats one of ones I will be really bummed out if its canned

I kinda lost interest a few episodes and it got pushed aside for other stuff, no regrets now.

What was the episode with the spanking?
2 weeks ago? I've been catching up

I mean what happened in it?
I think the parents debated whether they should do it

Sounds...horrifying?
Nah, they played it off alright. I would suggest just watching it to see what they wanted to say from it.

I already watched the spanking episode of Survivor's Remorse (which was amazing) so I think I'm good

Yeah. 2 weeks ago.
Devious Maids is amazing.
I assumed everything was repeats cause of the news coverage.

I hate this.
What are Queens Tina and Amanda doing next to those people?
This is awesome yet somehow tainted by Lohan's inclusion. It's just weird to see her post-Mean Girls next to them
It's actually doing really well! It especially helps that Adult Swim airs it a week after TBS and they count those numbers in as well since TBS and Adult Swim are owned by the same company (Time Warner). Creatively though? I feel like it's kinda past its prime.

I forgot that there was going to be a show based on Huang's book. I don't know man... I hope it doesn't tank.

It was mostly a "My dad 'whooped me', so should I do it to my kids?" existential crisis.
In a way, the show is still about being "Blackish", but it's way toned down from the pilot episode.
the premise was fine, the kids were awful is what I mean, especially the younger male kid. It was also more centered on the kids so maybe thats why. but even the little girl who I thought was funny in previous eps was annoying in this one

NBC has ordered five more episodes for Marry Me: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-orders-more-marry-me-746855
It was friggin' hilarious. The show is amazing.

This is very disappointing news.
Well, it's a family sitcom, so yeah.
It's not always about a matter of being black or whatever, most the show's humour derives from the generational differences and perceptions, esp. w/r/t Anderson's character. It's usually a matter of how his identity is construct vs. watching his children grow up and the differences in how they assemble their identities. Of course, Anderson's character takes a lot from his father (Laurence Fishburne) but still differs vastly from that generation; sometimes it's a matter of "I identify primarily as African-American" vs. his children that don't see it that way, but they generally find the middle ground somewhere. It pretty much permeates the entire show.
Also all the kids in blackish are hilarious, I dunno what Rhaknar is smoking.
Enver can't ever catch a break. :/ Shows he's on always end after the second seasons or so it seems. (Outside of the Walking Dead which was a bit part) I think he's the new Summer Glau. :/
Meth is a hell of a drug. Hehhehheh?

Wow at Mysteries of Laura. It combines the older skewing nature and maturity of Harry's Law with the fluff and tenderness of a summer USA show. Bravo.
No way now that he's a regular on Agent Carter.

They really shouldn't have. Final season was really good. My wife loved it and what I saw of it I liked.
Warms my cold heart.
Can we talk about how come the business of TV Shows works the way it does when it comes to picking up a series to air? Because i don't understand why networks are picking up season orders or bunch of episodes based only on the pilot.
It's like they are willingly making a decision to assess the series on the least amount of data\content there can be. You give creators all the time in the world to write and film the pilot so it gets maximum attention, it's been worked on the hardest for the longest -- you are bound to get something decent by the end which doesn't reflect the level of content that creator can produce 'for real' in the week-by-week , ep-by-ep schedule of a TV series. 'Suddenly' you see the content produced isn't that great, resources usage not good, no consistency or clear direction for the entire season.
It's like the 'Sophomore year' issue where artists had all the time to hone their first project before they released it and now that there are deadline they can't re-capture what make the first attempt good.
Get them to make 3 episodes and then assess if you're going pick up the show and give it full season. You spend more at the beginning but you lessen the chance of having duds in prime times and having to reschedule or fill holes. Spend more at the start so you spend less later on and you have a better chance to have shows that stick because you've seen how that project handles itself making 3eps in a timeframe rather than work their ass off on the pilot that in the end doesn't reflect what that team can produce in the regular season.
