re: What Shows Are You Watching?

Hilarious joke they had last night.

The guy is telling them about Black Friday and he asks them if they know what it is and one cat responds with Martin Luther King Day. I laughed so hard here at work because he was so serious when he said it.

But yeah you're right. If That 70's Show can make it then hey,...I think Outsourced has a chance.

LOOOL...it really is a funny show...then again I thought "Aliens in America" was one of the funniest shows ever and it failed hard.

Too offensive? An Indian I work with finds it offensive.

Eh well it's a comedy, so no I don't get so offended by it so much. Some of the humor I do find just not that funny.

I think also it's that I saw the movie this is based on and in the first couple of episodes I saw the jokes were exactly the same. In some cases, word for word. And I thought did they just take the 2 hour movie and break it into 4 half-hour episodes or will there be more?

I had the luxury of not seeing that movie and I think that the episodes are getting better and better.

When the Austrailian chick picked up the laptop to show herself off to Todd's brother I fell out of my chair.

Waliking Dead on Sunday Nights. Easily the best new show on TV, especially with Frank Darabont directing. AMC already had some pretty strong original programming but this show puts them over the top.

Entire Walking Dead Writing Staff Fired

I don't know how to feel about this...

Too often second seasons of shows become stale. I think this is good though I am not sure about not having a writing staff altogether and doing it all by himself.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?

I agree... I mean I am REALLY into this show now. Easily the thing I look forward to most each week. I DO have to say that I think they spend too much time each episode in character development (which I DO think is important). I mean maybe that's to keep up the suspense, because every week when it's over, I'm like, "DAMMIT! I don't wanna' wait another week..."

Mad Men apparently has pretty high writer turnover as well. Maybe it's an AMC thing?

I am the same way! Been a long time since I have been sucked into a show so much that I lose track of time. Like Sundays episode when the door opened then all of sudden it was like stay tune for next weeks previews. I was like it has been a hour no way come back!

Seriously! I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And I love/hate seeing next week's previews. Like I hate seeing what's going to happen, but I can't stop myself. Lame there were only like 6 episodes this season...

And SS, I just started watching more AMC thanks to Walking Dead and I could totally see that. I've caught random episodes of Mad Men and sometimes you can tell it's a different feel (even though I don't know enough about the writers, etc.)

Darabont is considering handing out scripts to freelance writers that he hires for each episode...
