I've watched the first 2 episodes. Not that good, but I heard it's going to start picking up by episode 4.

I think a lot of fans, including myself, have been too hyped up or excited for it that our expectations have been raised too high to the point where watching it will disappoint us.

Have you started?

[quote=Chico23231;1009470]When Steve Carrell left it was over imo. Spader was a horrible replacement and Krisinski (jim) or ed helms could never carry that show.[/quote]

Steve Carrell was the glue that held the show together. In hindsight I think they should have made Dwight the boss after he left. The last two seasons might have been better. Overall I thought the two seasons without Carrell was very hit or miss. Some episodes were great, some were crap. I don't think the writers gave up or mailed it in, it was just very tough to move on without Michael Scott.

The show was essentially about him...or at least his experience in the world drove the show. It was too much to try and refocus the how when he left. Just couldn't be the same show. The finale was a triumph though.

I've gotten hooked on Sons of Anarchy lately. Season 1 was a bit slow but I stuck it out as I heard it really picks up in season 2 going forward. Almost done with season 2 now, great show.

I just started watching old episodes of Arrested Development on Netflix. I am pleasantly surprised, when the series was originally on on Fox back in the day I didn't think it was anything special but now I find it pretty funny.

The great thing about that show is it gets better every time you watch it. In fact you almost have to watch every episode a couple times to get all the jokes.

Season 5 is...challenging. Just overall but it also has the two hardest scenes to watch I have ever seen on TV by a mile. But it is really good.

Just started Jericho. A little cheesy/schmaltzy here and there but that's sorta expected coming from CBS. The story-line is really good though. Plus.. Major Dad!

I was just cursing Netflix on-line man the lay out is so much better. When i get home I search on xbox, PS3 and roku all of those lay outs blow for finding stuff on Netflix.
