Happy 40th Birthday Faulty Towers, considered by some the best sitcom ever.
Heh, you've made the word play literal.  :)
I believe he means Farty Towels.

Watching Season 1 of The Knick on HBO.  It's very good, not great, but engaging enough to keep me watching. 

The bit with the xray machine was so appalling I could have cried.

I just re-watched episode 7 "Get the Rope" the other night. One of the best hours of television all year.

Yes, I watched that one last night.  It was the best ep so far.  Also interesting how the true story of Typhoid Mary was worked into the script.

Binge watching Person of Interest with the girlfriend (it's her first time) - for a major network show, I forget how good the first season was.
Hey, nice marmot!

The Muppets S01E01
Can The Muppets ever be relevant again? That's not a question asked by the show, but I was wondering it while watching. I remember when the film The Muppets opened to a bit of success, it was a love letter to the fans, but failed to win many new ones, who seemed to not get what makes The Muppets funny.

Now comes the TV Series filmed in the style of "The Office", and I loved it. It's everything that's been at the core of the Muppets' success while finding a new fresh pipeline for their humor. But I'm already a fan. I grew up with "The Muppet Show" and I have a VHS with every episode of "Muppets Tonight". (It's remarkable how the new series follows a similar format of how and where the Guest Star and Musical Act are incorporated.) There's also a healthy amount of behind the scenes showbiz humor, which is also going to appeal to me more than most.

I just don't see non-fans tuning in. The jokes are funny, but wouldn't they be just as funny with people instead of Muppets? If you're a fan of The Muppets, I say enjoy it while it lasts. I'll probably buy the DVD with the never aired episodes a few months after the show gets cancelled.

Hey 1S0, quick question: Would you call the Muppets an "all-ages" show? My sister wants to know if all of her kids (ages 3-7) can watch, and I won't be able to watch the premiere until Friday at the earliest.
