Is it really? I ask because I thought that this show looked as though it would be the absolute worst television show of all time, and thats not even much of an exaggeration. I've heard quite a few people now though, including some with similar comedic tastes to my own, say that it's pretty good.

I remember seeing the commercials for this show around thought it was going to be a show in the same mood and context as Dark Shadows so I never paid attention to it. I regret that. I love the show. I'm two episodes away from the season one finale and am pissed I have work in the morning and will have to finish it tomorrow night. It's not a perfect show by any means but there are just too many good story lines that it's okay to ignore that average ones. I personally think the relationship between Tate and Violet is wonderfully written and I've enjoyed watching it. It'll be a show I'll revisit again. Can't wait to start season two.

Netflix keeps on recommending this show to me and I know one of my roommates is a big fan so maybe I'll start watching it with them.

It looks like i've got a show to start watching next month:

They showed a preview on Netflix. It looks pretty good.

Boardwalk Empire Season 3

Got my HBO GO account going so I can get caught up on what I've missed since this started back up in September.

If that's anything to do with the original, starring the late Sir Ian Richardson, you've got a real treat on your hands IF they do it right.
If not, seek ye out the original and be amazed! One of the best political dramas/satires I have ever seen in my long life.
I'll be featuring it in "The Couch Potato" at some point, probably not soon though. It needs not to be rushed, even in review.

I've just finished Suits and Spartacus. Both very good and I highly recommend them. I've also been watching The Mentalist, on and off, for the last 2 months.

This is all I know about The Mentalist and I'm so grateful that's the way it is.

Hahaha, that IS pretty funny. I do find it a good show, nonetheless :P

"Arrested Development" confirmed to return in May - CBS News

It's finally coming back! In May, which is a relief since I'd been hearing rumours of December.
