I'm guessing they found some funding in the banana stand.

What's the verdict on Showtime's Homeland? It had quite an amount of positive buzz from critics, but I still haven't seen it (might be a while until I do), but did any of you guys catch it? Most importantly, is it or will it be worthy of its own thread?

And even if it sucks, as AAAustin pointed out- PATINKIN!

I already posted this in the Homeland thread, but in case anyone isn't checking that thread, Homeland is definitely the best new show this season. The cast is great, the pilot is very strong (only one plotline I'm a little leery of), and it the storyline has a lot of potential to grow over the season. You should absolutely check it out if you can. The pilot's up on Showtime's website, for those of us stateside, at least.

The Powell years got increasingly crazier and self-aware, right?
No doubt a major influence on It's Garry Shandling's Show, season 4 of Seinfeld, and Louie.

Watched the pilot for Terra Nova today. I must say it didn't really make an impression on me.
Are there any new must see American shows I should be looking out for this season.

I passed by the TV as my wife was watching episode two.  Seems like they lifted 5 characters from Lost and three from Avatar and threw them in the middle of Jurassic Park.  And like every new show, they have one actor who was hired specifically for his ability to do 350 crunches before every scene.   ::)

Not really.  Some good shows, but nothing really earth-shattering.  At least not yet.

The censored version is also up on YouTube (legitimately).
