Not yet.

Though I hope you do see episode 6 and the ending of episode 3, I definitely won't begrudge you for not continuing past epi 2.  As a whole, I don't consider the series must-see.
I might give it another shot or two. I guess my biggest problem isn't that's it's terrible to look at, it's that I didn't think it was funny.

Coogan can do no wrong in my book. The Steve Coogan Collection with most of his shows is one of the best DVDs I own. Saxondale is also well worth your time. I got the Alan Partridge audiobook, I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan recently and can't wait to listen.

Neither did I for a while.  The geek/nerd stuff wasn't what made me laugh, though.  It was other stuff.

I think we all should just take some time to appreciate that Whitney will be back for a second season [via 2 Broke vibes]

Only new network shows that caught my eye were- Hannibal, Revolution, The Following, Last Resort, and Arrow (because I'm Green Arrow-obsessed). I'll check out those pilots.

I can add Elementary and Vegas to the list.

Big CINECAST!ing news in the world of TV today.

First up is that, after a successful April 1st on [as] that I totally effing missed, the Toonami brand is coming back for the first (second, I guess) time on [as]. This begins on May 26th, theoretically at midnight, which would technically be May 27th on the East Coast time. Either way, it's CINECAST!ing dank if they show some mother CINECAST!ing Tenchi (preferably Universe, but I'll take what I get).

Next up in the world of [as] is the news that excellent animated program The Boondocks is coming back for a fourth season after what has probably been a 3-5 year break. So that's CINECAST!ing dank because that show is super dank. No date, but whatevs, it's CINECAST!ing happening!

Presumably after Aqua Teen Hunger Force spinoff Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 effing tanked (in actuality it was also CINECAST!ing DANK as it always is), a second attempt at a spinoff series is happening at some point in June. This new program will be called Aqua Something You Know Whatever and will hopefully have a new theme song. I'm not sure when the date is, all I have is the tagline: [ It's The Same Exact Show As It's Never Been Before Only Just Like It Used To Be But Now Different. ].

In non-TV news, but still [as] news, pick up/listen to on Spotify the new Killer Mike album produced by El-P and titled R.A.P Music. It's out now on Williams Street Records and, in a year packed with great hip hop, it might be the dankest of the dank (it's not, but it's still super dank).

And, not really news but more of a reminder, new Abso-Lutely program The Eric Andre Show starts up this Sunday on [as] at 12:30 EST following a new (presumably continuation of last week's brief cliff-hanger) episode of Metalocalypse at 12:15. I'm not sure if it will be super dank or not, I need to learn to like T&EASGJ, but I don't think they are going to be on this one anyway. I loved season 2 of CIO!WDSB though, so hopefully TEAS follows in that tradition of making Sundays still be the effing dankest night on television because I watch GoT and then MM and then just wait for M and now TEAS before catching a re-run of season 2 of CIO!WDSB and then wake up and watch V and G in that order since that's how they air after GoT and it doesn't matter which one is better that's how it's meant to tonally slide in.

So yeah, big CINECAST!ing (dank) day!
