i'll probably hang w/ new girl, it's got dude from veronica mars in it. i'm an undecided voter but i think i lean 'no' on zoey deschanel, i remember when i first saw almost famous laughing that her bad wooden acting was so similar to patrick fugit's, i almost thought it was intentional since they were playing siblings. i liked her in elf, couldn't last more than ten minutes into 500 days of summer. i'll stick w/ it - ppl like it, and i watched nearly an entire season of 2 broke girls and several seasons of entourage so whatever i'm 'risking' by watching a show i might wind up deciding isn't good i lost along time ago.

vegas is watchable! standard cbs procedural w/ vague daydream of being an fx drama - period drama which so far only means 'they drive old cars', chiklis as big bad, dennis quaid is great per usual
― balls, Thursday, 27 September 2012 04:25 (eleven years ago) link
yeah trust me most of the people defending new girl on ilx now were all 'lol zooey is the worst' a year ago. i basically regard her as a minor part of the ensemble at this point, it's like if 'friends' was called 'phoebe.'
i tried to watch abc's 'help my neighbors are space aliens!' show last night, it was pretty dire.

this certainly will not stop us from continuing to say this

yeah i mean she's still irksome as a celebrity but i think the show uses her well, and more importantly doesn't overuse her

― Johnny Fever,
it's setting up a lot of stuff, sure would be nice if ryan got to play it out.
― j., Thursday, 27 September 2012 19:44 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I kinda just saw The Neighbors out of the corner of my eye while doing other stuff, but what I saw was really terrible.

I liked some of the details of the aliens, enough that i can't say it's worse than alf on first whiff

i tried to watch Partners out of the corner of my eye on mute, but it was too much for me.

those two "new girl" eps were pretty good, esp. winston with the girly drink and the Public Enemy basketball outro

Elementary is pretty watchable. Placing Holmes in the CBS-style police procedural setting is perverse, but since all those other clowns are just wannabe Sherlocks why not have the real thing.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Friday, 28 September 2012 08:08 (eleven years ago) link
I can't bring myself to watch Elementary, it just sounds too awful

every review i've seen has been reasonably positive; i can give it a shot

sounded like garbage but the clips i saw really weren't bad
― da croupier, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
It really wasn't too bad -- I think they made it different enough from Sherlock to where it feels like its own thing and not a cheap American rip off. It's a decent procedural, Lucy Liu & Johnny Lee Miller were both good.
― controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Friday, 28 September 2012 16:37 (eleven years ago) link
my wife who has been all JOHNNY LEE MILLER AS SHERLOCK HOLMES!!! for weeks seemed happy with it, i thought it was at least not as stupid as i expected
― some dude, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
yeah basically. could develop into something decent.
― max, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
I'll stick with Cumberbatch

Sherlock is one of the worst things on television. Elementary doesn't have to be that good to be a million times better than it.
― Melissa W, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
Nicole, your obsession with Melissa is so genuinely creepy that if this were real life I'd suggest a restraining order.

Cajun Pawn Stars is one of the worst things on tv
but you're welcome to enjoy Elementary, Melissa.

Yes.

― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 28 September 2012 16:59 (eleven years ago) link
This is fact. It's like the History Channel said "hey, we have this solid gold show, so how can we turn the brand into gold-spraypainted lead?" and voila Cajun Pawn Stars was born.

Nothing can possibly be worse than Toddlers & Tiaras, its depressing to know parents are not only allowed, but actively encouraged, to feed so many neuroses into children. Although maybe the follow-up series in 2030 about the kids' therapy will be interesting.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty much everything they show clips of on The Soup qualifies as the worst thing on TV.
My Strange Addiction is the worst for me; almost every clip I see of that godforsaken show scars me for days

it's weird to suddenly find out about some apparently virulent and long-running ilx feud that you had no idea existed
sherlock is really fun
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
people post, other people respond. sometimes social dynamics like bullying, popularity contests, etc. do enter into it but on a message board usually it really ain't that serious.
― some dude, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
I had no idea it existed either! I don't know who this person is, but I guess it is nice to know someone out there hates me.
Anyway, I will probably watch Elementary next week. xp
― controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
otm.
i thought Elementary looked awful, but i'm willing to give it a go, as i do with all things Sherlock. kinda forgot it had started already.
