My wife and I binge watch it on Netflix, which has been good (or bad depending on how you look at it) for our sitcom watching habits; so, we have not yet seen the latest episodes. Personally, I think sitcoms have improved tremendously since 2000, and I have very much enjoyed:

Arrested Development;
Louie;
The Office; and
Parks & Rec.

Neither of us have much tolerance for traditional "laugh track" sitcoms, and the only one of those I ever enjoyed (and the only pre-2000 sitcom I have ever enjoyed) is Seinfeld.

I think you'd love Modern Family and Bun Heads. I do.

Gotham just made it over here. Pretty rough start to be honest: choppy editing, hammy acting, bad script and too many obvious references (4th and Grundy :roll:). I'll wait for it in trade.

Finished Avatar the Last Airbender, one of the best animated series ever. Totally lives up to the hype. The finale was far better than a kid's show has any right to be, but that's the mark of the best animated programs, the classics.

Can't wait to jump into The Legend of Korra

Started watching Arrow Season 2 the other night on netflix so far it's looking pretty awesome. Also thinking about starting the Walking Dead Season 4 since I missed most of it when it aired.

Also gave up on Scorpion and Gotham will just wait for them to come out on Netflix in a year or two :P. The only shows I am now actively watching on cable are Forever and The Walking Dead. Really hoping Forever doesn't get the can missed 90% of an episode last night and was ticked to see that they don't do reruns.

Just finished Season 02 Ep 05 of American Horror Story and wow. I thought I enjoyed Season 1 quiet a bit (spread itself a bit thin towards the end), but season 2 is something else. I'm really enjoying the grittiness and twists in the season so far. Anyone else that's watched the series find that Season 2 was a step up from Season 1?

Watched the finale of Book 2 of The Legend of Korra. I really, REALLY didn't like it. It felt like the show jumped the shark there. Everything was so over the top, crazy and ridiculous and a lot of things didn't even make any sense. It felt like I was watching really bad anime.

It made me miss the much simpler approach of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Korra seems to have gotten too big for its britches and that finale honestly felt kind of pretentious. I like when my avatar just had to worry about
beating a tyrannical, fire nation dictator, not weird supernatural, ancient deities that require poorly explained cosmic power, mysteriously super powered siblings and mystic, blue kaijus to beat. Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT!?
Oh well, I'll still keep watching for Asami, the best character on the whole show

Season 3 is an improvement, and 4 has been solid so far.
