I've only watched part one so far, but sdedalus pretty much covered my only complaint. It's not serious, and I'm sure by the end of the series I'll have forgotten all about it.

I'm really enjoying Justified. Loved the Chinatown joke in the second ep.

I don't think it's quite been able to match the greatness of the pilot but so far it's a very entertaining show. Olyphant is terrific.

Also, ferris should watch the newest episode with guest star Alan Ruck.

I am watching Sports Night and it is causing me some consternation. I cannot decide if Aaron Sorkin or Joss Whedon is the greatest TV writer of all time.

Larry David wants to know who these fools are that you claim to be occupying his throne?

Victorious is trending upwards, while Good Luck Charlie appears to be dead on arrival. With Sonny entering Season 2, and continuing to remain as good as the second half of season one, Disney still has some fire power, but Hannah is ending early next year, Wizards is already in Season 3 of 4, and JONAS still sucks. Obviously Suite Life On Deck is the wild card because if Dylan and Cole stay with Disney longer, while the Big Three girls get older and branch out to other endeavors, hope still exists, but with iCarly developing into a fairly interesting show and with Victorious just starting, and starting strong, Nick may be close to making a play to overtake Disney in terms of quality live action programing.

Will be interesting to continue following this drama along into the future.

I was just talking with my girlfriend about this and she mentioned him and David Simon.

I think we might need a poll. :D

I cant stop watching Sports Night. It is so good and amazing how many storylines and techniques were reused in The West Wing.

Sports Night The Cutman Cometh is one of the best half hours of TV ever.
