I finished off season 2 of Married after saying I'd quit on it. It finished on an upnote I guess. I'd probably give the season a B-. Too much of the bearded friend. I'd say both of the leads, especially the wife (Kitty from AD), are kinda being wasted in this to some degree. It's not top notch.

Brett Gelman is a comedic genius. If you have the time to listen to this whole thing do it.

Anyone watching Sleepy Hollow still? Apparently, I must have missed most of S2 Finale because this season started wierd.

maura tierney is great

It is also on Time Warner Cable Ondemand, channel 1402 in most if not all areas. Uncensored and you do not have to be a Showtime subscriber.

I watched the S1 of The Affair recently. Season two should premiere tonight (although first episode was already released on demand). Rather slow show so not for everyone, but really good if you like those. Definitely one of the best new shows in the last few years.

The Affair is definitely deserving of a thread if it doesn't already have one

I can't stand that guy, no idea how they thought he could carry a sitcom.

The Affair definitely needs a thread.

I think it has one. Glad the new season starts tonight. The Leftovers is the main Sunday show right now, but The Affair is just about tied with The Good Wife.

And yeah, Ken is awful in every possible way. It better be cancelled before ep3 airs.

Ratings good enough for a return on Fridays (so far). It has a small amount of potential, but it's not good at all. He's pushing very hard at being as unlikable as possible.

I'm bad at watching tv, I know, but I think Blindspot and Limitless have potential. Better than Dr Ken.

The Affair's new episode was good. I also rewatched the last 2 of season 1, just to remind me what had happened. Those were really top notch.

Can someone explain why on the Fargo premiere this coming Monday, it is listed as 1.5 hours but the replay after it is only 1 hour.

I have seen this with other shows on FX, but I can't remember why. I need to DVR the replay because of too many shows so want to make sure I am not missing anything.

After 3 episodes of Blindspot I feel pretty good walking away. Something about it just isn't compelling.

It has to be a mistake unless for some reason they are doing limited or no commercials. Since two providers are wrong though, it has to FX's bad(?) information they gave to the providers.

Agreed though the storm clouds rolling in were a bit heavy handed

Also concerned that they are jumping around in time a bit too much

That is a little longer than a normal 1 hour show, usually around 42 to 44, so they probably have extra commercials for the regular time slot and limited commercials for the re air's.

Sorry. Forgot to say the second re-air shows hour and a half. Can't hurt to extend though.

very true, that's part of why I went back and watched the last 2 eps. of season 1. Getting a little complicated.

I still kind of like it. Has some sloppy writing but I'm still intrigued by future plotlines

I watched the 3rd episode of Blindspot yesterday and enjoyed it. It probably wont have much depth to it, but still pretty entertaining.

I am liking Blindspot, we get fist fights, shooting, and bombs so far. I think it's closer to POI than The Last Ship in quality.

Blindspot feels like it's close to a huge twist to give it massive amounts of depth. Its a reveal show that quantico wishes it was.

They have been hinting hard at where they are going but it's not exactly clear what the character motivations are. I can see it getting very grey area quickly.
