Thanks to Hulu I've been watching Roswell. You know, that show that was on The WB back in 1999. Only seen the first two episodes, but I really like it. The characters jump to some pretty crazy conclusions in ep2 for no reason, but it's still fun.

Lol, so much of early S1-era Angel screams "late 90's."
Oh, well, can't wait to get into the meat of the show.
No doubt, Season 1 has some pretty weak episodes. But stick with it, there are some real standouts in there. Pretty much anytime someone from Buffy makes a guest appearance in S1, its good. And the season finale was fantastic.

GAF doesn't seem real big on Sopranos for some reason.. I dunno, I loved it. It wasn't something that compelled me.. it wasn't a show I had to watch new episodes immediately, but it was very enjoyable whenever I threw it on. Something about the tone and pacing of it was relaxing to me.
I finished season 3 of FNL. I would always look at this thread, but I guess I never realized how much of it was used to discuss the show.
I got to like page 8 (100 posts) and want to continue reading everyone's comments, but I'm gonna stop for now.
Even though I was kinda grumbling about the football stuff earlier because I'm a Texas kid that grew up with 5A football in high school, I still really dug the season 3 stuff with it.
Them losing in the state championship kinda surprised me. It'll be interesting to see Eric face off against McCoy/Aikman as the coach of the East Dillon Lions (because we know he's gonna take that job).
I'm curious to see what Matt plans to do for college since he seems to want to remain in Dillon with his grandma and Julie. I guess Dillon Tech is gonna be brought up as it was with Tyra in one episode. And speaking of Tyra, is she gonna commit to UT? And will Landry go there as well?
The most important part of the show to me and I would imagine many others has always been the relationship between Eric and Tami Taylor. I love those characters to death, and it honestly kinda makes me wish that I had parents like that. That might be shitty thinking and not a very nice thing to say. I mean, I love my parents, but they're not like the Taylors. I guess it's kinda silly, though, to try and compare my parents to parents from a TV show. Sorry for getting a little off track there.
What I wanna say is that I really do enjoy the show a lot, and I'm glad that I checked out this topic so that I could officially watch it. I look forward to seeing season 4 with the rest of yall.
Just finished watching Season 3 of FNL, wasn't bad, not as good as the first, but better than the second. Wished they introduced a few more new characters though. Tyra, Tim, and Lyla are getting a bit boring now. Now i'm thinking what next, with the summer slump in good new TV shows i guess it's time to catch up. I'm thinking CSI, True Blood or Breaking Bad....

I just finished Chuck season 1 - enjoyed it a lot. Not one of my favorite shows by any means, but definitely a fun ride with some good characters. Looking forward to seeing season 2, and I'm glad it got picked up for a third.

I've heard this many times before and have no idea why I never got around to watching Angel (especially I've been following Buffy since the 2nd or 3rd season was airing)
I started watching Burn Notice after someone recommended it to me in this thread. Really great show that reminds me a lot of Chuck - just less geeky. Story seems to be better (keep in mind that I'm only 5 episodes in) and so does the action + girls are also smoking hot. I also prefer the humour although it's less subtle than Chuck's.

Wait until you get to Season 2 - while Chuck's second season rise is more heavily documented, I would actually argue that Burn Notice's surprised me more. Show got DAMN good in ways that I wouldn't have expected, especially when the end of Season 2 presents a scenario which could see the show go off the rails.
Good luck catching up before the premiere in a couple of weeks!

I love the show...but it has lost the edge presented in the early episodes. Completely goody-two-shoes and that scrawny chick is also dragging the show down a bit.
I'm going through Law & Order: SVU on Netflix streaming right now.

I finished S2, and it was a million times better than S1. Really nice to see the serialization ramp up, and it got funnier and much darker to boot. A good chunk into S3.
Finally started up FNL S3. Soooooo good. Watched the first four episodes this morning.
J.D. and his family have been annoying so far - though I suppose that's kind of the point. Hope they get around to developing them a little better as the season continues.
Poor Saracen - that kid rarely catches a break, though things are looking a little bit up now.
The coda for Smash was amazing. My favorite part so far. Drinking on the field again and that big smile.

Went through all of Party Down yesterday. Literally 5 hours of it back to back to back (7 more times). Loved every minute of it. It was so nice seeing the VM gang back together again.
Still good. My views on the show didn't really change - sure, this season was better than the previous season, but I still wouldn't rank it among my favorites quite yet, maybe it needs more time? The season end cliffhanger makes me hopeful the third season will make me care more about the show, but I think most of my problems is that while I love the main three characters, I don't care for the supporting cast (basically the whole Buy More crew). Lots of fun spy adventures though and I liked the multiple episode arc at the end of the season.
Now the tough decision of what to watch next. Breaking Bad, Angel and Mad Men are all on this list.
