So, yeah, my sensible side is saying that they should just leave well enough alone.

All of that said, I'll still be checking the show out as soon as it hits the service with my fingers crossed that they're able to bottle lightning a second time out.

Yeah, Community is really good. Occasionally great.

I haven't watched any of AD, but I want to for the two big reasons of Jason Bateman and Michael Cera. When they pulled Community halfway through without a set return date, I was kind of worried it would be cancelled. Another show I am a really big fan of is Grimm.

I watched two random episodes of Grimm and the only character on the show that was worth a damn was that Monroe guy. I kind of liked the general premise, too, but the general execution was all sorts of weak. Doubt I'll ever watch it again unless there suddenly becomes a dearth of better shit to watch.

Well whenever there is new Supernatural and Fringe on, I DVR those and watch Grimm on hulu, as I am a much bigger Supernatural and Fringe fan.

I've been hearing good things from friends about Supernatural for a year or two now, but for whatever reason I've just never been able to bring myself to sit down and really give it a shot.

*checks Netflix*

Huh. Looks like the whole series is up on Instant Play. Maybe if I get some time later in the week, I'll finally try to pay it the proper attention.

Ya it is a great show imo. But to me, it is one of those ones you have to watch from the beginning to fully appreciate it

I wouldn't walk into a series like that mid-show. I'm pilot or die, all the way.
