So, what NEW SHOW are you looking forward to besides returning shows

Couldn't help myself with the pictures. In fact I'm looking forward to quite a few more shows than just those 2, but didn't want to make a list, just a couple of bullet points.


But back to the original thread topic, for me it still stands at none.

This one upsets me, and not for it's unbelievable plots.

I hate hate hate the Oliver HIV storyline.

The only sympathetic character on the show has to contract HIV?

And that Oliver contracted it while his slutty, manipulative boyfriend didn't adds fuel to the fire.

I know what they're trying to do, focusing on the fact that HIV is indiscriminate, but it's awfully subliminal writing in a way.

It reminds me of the writier who was critical of RENT when it first came out. The writer pointed out how the gay character died of AIDS while the straight characters miraculously spring back to life and live to dance and sing.

Oliver is asian I believe and pretty much a goody two-shoes. It looks like they're gonna blame the infection on his black boyfriend at the time. While slutty white Connor skates off into the sunset infection-free.

I doubt they even realized how this looked as they were writing it.

I know, right? Poor Oliver, he was really too good for these nutso folks in the first place, and then to get a storyline like that.

That always makes me sad...because I really believe that he did that as a legacy for the child that he was expecting.

Starts up tonight. I'm guessing they are going to say that several characters from the first series are dead. I think in the promo Claires dad said she died (the girl who can't die, well she is on Nashville now).

If they ever released Muppets Tonight on dvd you can bet your ass Prince wouldn't clear his music for it.


I Love The Muppets (the new series). I hope it's ratings stabilize. If Disney is willing to subsidize S.H.I.E.L.D. with its numbers they should do the same with The Muppets.

I Love The Muppets too.

It gives me The Simpsons/30 Rock vibe.

I can't believe some people don't like it.

I even heard some people say their kids are bored with it.

I say so what. This isn't Pixar. Not everything has to straddle that family line.

And they've been trying to sell The Muppets to the young for some time now but I think it just might be a Gen X thing. Not sure kids are into them like that.

You MUST watch "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" NOW!

Stumbled across it tonight.

Instant fan.

This Rachel Bloom is apparently a sensation.

I see why.
