As another "one of those people" just like you, nunnehi, I have continued to watch it for reasons I can't put my finger on (though IN I'm sure is why)

You don't need to worry. It hasn't got better. Its exactly the same as it was quality-wise. They added a new set piece, a pastry school, some students, a love-interest for Kat and one for the butter-face 2nd lead.

I just realized that I do not remember the actual names of the main characters. Wow. And I've seen every ep.

Max and Chesnut. I dont remember the name of the blonde for some reason.

Sophie, Oleg, Earl and Han are the supporting characters.

The supporting characters except Earl are horrible. I watched a fair amount of the first season, and catch an occasional episode now and then. The show is bad, but Kat's charisma makes it watchable on occasion.

There are now 7 episodes up. I've watched the first 5 so far, and I think it is a show worth giving a watch.

It's fun. Betas (Amazon's other show) isn't bad either.

Rick and Morty episode 3 was really good. Not as good as episode 1 but much better than 2 imo.

Agreed. I didn't care for 2. I actually stopped watching it because it bored me.

This episode reminded me of the movie Innerspace. Worth a watch if you've never seen it.

HBO sets premiere dates for Game of Thrones, Veep, and Silicon Valley - http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-wat...-premiere-date

Silicon Valley sounds fantastic. Created by Mike Judge and starring TJ Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, and Martin Starr.

i just watched 8 episodes of "Ground Floor" on Tbs. It has John C. McGinley in it(mean doctor from scrubs) and both the female characters are hot, including the gorgeous Alexis Knapp.

I think it's pretty funny and will probably keep watching. I generally have slightly lower tastes than some of you artsy tv fans, but it might be worth a watch if you are looking for something to get a quick laugh.

I 2nd it. Been watching since the beginning, and any Bill Lawrence show is getting, at the very least, a full season from me.

Silicon Valley insta went on my "will watch" list just by hearing who was involved.

Does anyone watch the Real Husbands of Hollywood? I watched the first season and thought it was ok overall however for every really funny bit there was quite a bit of mediocrity to get through. I was wondering if the second season is any better?

It also does a lot of one my biggest pet peeves in comedies; having arguments where everyone is just yelling over each other (one of the only things I dislike about IASIP).

I watch that show, though I'm a couple behind. It always has a few funny moments in every episode, but the show never really lived up to it's really hilarious Pilot.

The scenes where people are yelling over each other in that show are the most consistently hilarious scenes in the show. If you go back and watch the scene 3 or 4 times, focusing on each character, it's unreal funny to hear what they're all saying (they subtitle a lot of it, but not all of it). Season 2 is probably a little worse than season 1, but at least it doesn't have Robin Thicke on it anymore.

That's encouraging, I have it on my DVR. All promos have been atrocious.

Has anyone seen the HBO show Ja'mie:Private School Girl? It's an Aussie(?) show about a girl in private school but she is played by a guy, it's so absurd but hilarious at times. The guy has high school girl manerisms down pat.

Do I need to have watched all of the last season of Community in order to watch the new current one? I think I got through three or four eps before I quit the show last year, despite previously loving it.

We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High both follow Ja'mie, as well as other characters played by Chris Lilley. If you've not seen them you may want to try watch them first.
