What TV shows are people watching?

This is one of the best children's TV shows I've seen in a very long time. Think of it as Courage the Cowardly Dog meets Twin Peaks.

Loving it even though it's a low-budget Australian mini-series because anyone who knows me knows I love anything 60s-related, the soundtrack is ace, and it's based on heartbreakingly true events.

Watched The Sopranos for the first time last year, I went out and bought the box set and I am watching it all over again. Loved the Pine Barrens episode.

Dexter

Started this to see what all the hype is about. Decent enough, Carpe tells me that it gets better. Some of Dexter's internal dialogue is cringeworthy though but that's my only complaint so far aside from some bad acting.

Bob's Burgers

Not Simpsons, South Park, or even Family Guy level of funny, but it gets me chuckling enough. A step down from Home Movies imo but they can't all be zingers.

I'm internet buds with a guy who swears by this show. Apparently the dialogue is actually partially improvised and recorded live between the cast members or something like that. I think.

That certainly does make it better in my eyes because that's one of my favourite parts of the show, especially Gene.

Gene is your favorite?

I love Tina and the little one. Especially the little one because I love who voices her.

The other kids are pretty funny too, but Gene has some real gems from time to time. I thought that Sara Silverman voiced Louise, but it's Kristen Schaal from Flight of the Conchords who I love as well.

Yep. Couldn't remember her name but I saw Kristen perform stand up live and I always loved when she would pop on The Daily Show and of course from Flight of the Conchords. They also performed the same night that I saw Kristen.

Sara Silverman and her sister Laura voice Jimmy Pesto's twins, Andy and Ollie. The first season of Bob's Burgers is a little slow, but there are two episodes, "Sheeh, cab Bob?" and "Art Crawl" that really showcased the talent that just pours out in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons.
