Just finished Community, and loved it, so I might be in a (possibly romantic) comedy kind of mood. I just started Twin Peaks and Mad Men also.

Scrubs

Eastbound and down is also pretty solid.

I have a feeling E&D is going to suck this year. New cast, new location, new everything (except Kenny Powers). I hope I'm wrong, but it's been so long since season one, and it was only six episodes, so I'm not overly optimistic.

Sort of gives me the vibe of being a mix between 24 and Lost. Was intrigued by the promo I saw on tv, probably will give it a shot when it premiers in the fall.

God, SoA is so good, haven't finished S2 yet, but so far it does it for me better than The Wire(as a whole) & that's saying a lot. Thanks for the recs. Working on S2 of Fringe & gonna start BB, Dexter, & maybe a comedy. What about MM?

Thing about comedies for me is I love watching them with others, but I don't really get together with friends to watch whole seasons of tv.

Not sure if anyone else saw it, but MTV's new show Warren The Ape is pretty funny. Watching 1-2 mins of the show should be enough for you to know whether you'll like it or not.

So it's good? I meant to watch the pilot but forgot about it. I have hopes because of Josh Lyman, but haven't heard anything about it yet.

The Worst Week of my Life.

It gave me some great laughs. Ok, most of the jokes are pretty predictable and obvious, but still it could bring a smile to my face on many occasions.

It has some similarities with the movie meet the parents.

It's enjoyable.

The pilot dragged for about a half hour, then you decide not to take it so seriously and it becomes awesome.

It gets hated on, but I really liked it. The first season is the best (and the last few episodes of S1 are fantastic), and then it dips from there, but it's enjoyable.

You could even watch the 2nd season of Prison Break. But after that it gets really, really bad imo.

Any thoughts on Lost from Season to Season? I thought the first season was awesome. I am half way through the second season and it seems kind of contrived and it is not holding my interest as much.

Are any seasons not worth watching, or will you miss too much if you skip any seasons?

I suppose you should go ahead and watch it all. It's probably not going to end to your satisfaction but the journey is worthwhile.

Seasons 3 and 4 are great because of the new characters. Season 3 has a major slow spot in it though.

I'd say roughly: 2nd half of season 3 > season 5 > seasons 1,2,4 > season 6, first half of season 3

imo

Sounds about right. When watching it in order though, the only time I didn't immediately want to watch the next episode was in the first half of season 3.
