Poor CW

jeezuz one tree hill you have got to be kidding me.

I can't believe Outsourced is still doing better numbers than Community

outsourced should be banned.

dude from drew carey so odious on that show. unlike dude from drew carey on 2&half men and lady dude from drew carey on cougar town.

i kinda luv lady dude. she was pretty much the reason i watched drew carey. that show could be funny.

i find it funny how you're anti-scrubs but down w/ cougar town.

yeah, it's the same show with (mostly) different characters.

scrubs + cougar town are the exact same show except cox is prettier than braff

even same soundtracks

scrubs is a show that can't get no love from scott

lol

was confused by this for a minute

scrubs was too desperately "zany" for me. i dunno, just didn't dig the cast. i like the cast of cougar town. all of them. although the son is kind of a dud.

the baby show on fox! speaking of duds. the main dude on that show. how the hell did he get that job? he is so horrible. everything about him bugs me. where did he come from?

braff the biggest dud. hate these dudly guys. there must be funny people out there who are actually charismatic too.

the father in raising hope was in winter's bone. two radically different visions of white poverty in america

he was awesome in two roles in Deadwood. they were both creepy bad guys though so it's weird he's the lead on a sitcom now.
xpost

american pie dude too. another dud. they are all the same kind of dud.

yeah, creepy i can see. his face is creepy!

i thought lucas neff was the lead on raising hope?

garret dillahunt is the father and the amazing deadwood actor

ah okay. yeah i don't mind the father.

but he's not as good as redneck dad on cougar town. love him.

i'm fine w/ the lead dude on raising hope, he's got a little of that "bland guy who's only at the center of things to bounce off of funnier characters" sitcom protagonist archetype going on but i think he hits the right notes more often than not.

Dad on Cougar Town and dad on Raising Hope were both on John from Cincinnati (which most people seemed to hate, but I liked).

oh man I laughed way too hard at that stupid notch gag

"Hey, Vicki. Psst... Vicki, look at me! Psst... I'm going to crush you."

(best episode of the season, says me)

pop PO-O-OP!

extra bits:

Magnitude is the best character.

Also awww CIA girl with a crush. I would love to see Abed and her hook up, even if that would never happen ever.

Notches joke was lolol

"It's like God spilled a person."

Love the running Kick Puncher stuff.

They've been killing it the last few eps!

Just got to watch it. Agree the notches gag was ALL TIME.

I think I recognize the Secret Service lady from something, but it's hard to tell with her sunglasses on.

Tired of Magnitude already.

pop pop!

Tired of Magnitude already.

impossible

isn't that the point?

I think I recognize the Secret Service lady from something, but it's hard to tell with her sunglasses on.

scrubs (i had to google)

oh she was the really blunt/crabby newbie

whats her name?

blunt crabby newbie?

Magnitude absolutely cries out for his own 70s-style iron-on glitter t-shirt (photo of 'tude with "Pop Pop!" written in bubbly, squiggly 70s font underneath).

Oh anyway, blunt crabby newbie/Secret Service lady is actually Eliza Coupe. Just saw she's going to be on that ABC show Happy Endings with ex-SNL'er Casey Wilson, Elisha Cuthbert and Damon Wayans Jr...yet another in a seemingly endless flood of single-camera multi-relationship sitcoms, but I'll give it a whirl on the cast alone.

you're a fan of Damon Wayans's son?

Every Wayans, even 2nd generation, is worth checking out once.

funniest ep in a while. notches was like an old school simpsons gag

well, he was Riggle's partner in The Other Guys, but he didn't really do much of particular note
