The television discussion thread

I've been getting a real kick out of Lillyhammer. It's not a new classic or anything, but it's certainly an amusing and engaging little diversion (made all the more fun if you imagine it as happening in the head of a comatose Silvio Dante).

Welp, it only took Community 5 episodes into its 13 episode 4th season to deliver something that resembled the show that I remember. Not crazy about James Brolin as Jeff's dad, but my wish of Bill Murray playing the part was probably never entirely realistic.

Oh man! Bill Murray would have been amazing! But I am ok with who they casted.

One show I've been watching that is decent, is The Neighbors. It will never be amazing, but it has got enjoyable moments

Who shot JR 2 tonight...... Dallas should be good, doubt it will draw the ratings the original series did with the Who shot JR, but I'll be watching, that and Raw....

Wait a minute -lol- they actually remade Dallas? And they're going with the whole Who Shot JR(?) thing?! Wow.

Treme is back on UK screens. I didn't even realise this until I seen it in the TV planner? There must have been like no advertising for it. I imagine it just doesn't get the numbers over here. Shame.

Also...

Hilariously, the retread of Who Shot J.R. only got 4% of the audience as when they did it in the 80s. I'm pretty sure that tit has been milked.

It doesn't really get numbers over here, either. I mean, it pulls just a little over a half million viewers, which is anemic even for pay cable.

Sucks, too. Great show.

I'm pretty shocked at how much I enjoyed the Bates Motel opener. It's a little rough around the edges, but Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga both rock the casbah as Norman and his mother. Even at only one episode in, it's already plainly obvious to be an infinitely superior horror fix to that brain-dead and ridiculous Following bullshit.
