Thanks, I just saw a quick ad for it tonight on HBO and it looked pretty good. I will have to watch season one on demand before season 2 starts. I think there were only 6 or 8 episodes. Hopefully 12 this season.
That Double R Martin guy better get his ass in gear. HBO's going to catch up with him pretty soon. Come to think of it, I'd just as soon they finish the series for him. The last few books have become painful.

The last few books have become painful. I think it's too late. Martin already said the book he's working on won't be ready anytime soon - - I guess living the good life on the circuit!
And, Martin was quoted this week that this season characters will be killed who were not killed in the books. So it looks like the show is moving on. Too bad, although I've purposely stayed away from the books.

For this series, staying away from the books would have increased my enjoyment.

Yea, she's hot.
She was on The Mentalist this season reprising a character she had played in previous seasons.

Serenity.
Just saw the movie which ends the Firefly TV series. As much as I loved the TV series, the movie didn't do it for me. In trying to make a movie to sell to a mainstream audience, Whedon tossed aside all the original and quirky ideas that made the TV show so special. It seemed so generic like a lot of action sci-fi movies. I was nodding off a bit and would've entered 100% sleep had it not been for my wife who woke me to ask me a question.

Loved the two part episode to conclude The Mentalist. Very satisfying.
And don't ask me why, but I watched the ending of Two & 1/2 Men tonight. An absolute mess which means devotees of the show probably loved it.

Fargo (s1)
Love the show. One thing that bothers me (a bit) is that they portray the local folks as simpletons or idiots. I'm sure Minnesotans are not all like this, but it makes me wonder, esp. the folks in the rural areas.

Masters of Sex (s1)
I feel like I'm watching Mad Men, but a different profession (sex researchers instead of Madison Ave ad men). The actress who plays Mrs. Johnson is really cute. The actor who plays Dr. Masters looks like an alien. Or a fish.

The actor who plays Dr. Masters looks like an alien. Or a fish. Tried to watch season 1, but found it boring. Just finished watching the 7 seasons of the 1950's Adventure of Superman. Metv was showing 2 episodes a day Monday thru Saturday so the dvr was kept busy.
Looking for an old show to watch now before Game of Thrones, VEEP & Silicone Valley return in April. I'm leaning towards That Girl or the really old Abbott and Costello show. Never have seen that one.

Never have seen that one.I've never seen the old Superman series. Ditto Abbott and Costello. However, I watched That Girl here and there when it was on in syndication. I probably watched about 20-25 episodes. I was a little boy when I watched it. What I loved about the show was Marlo Thomas's cuteness (I had a minor crush. Not a major crush like Hayley Mills.) and the intro segment where some characters are doing or talking stuff which inevitably leads to one of them pointing to Marlo Thomas's character and saying "That Girl!" The rest of the show was sort of stupid and superficial.

I tried, to no avail, hard to get my hair to flip like Marlo Thomas. Either too tight or too loose.
"Diamonds, daisies, springtime, That Girl."

Archer.
Hilarious hilarious hilarious! Had me laughing the whole time. Why does the actor who voices Archer sound like Dylan McDermott?

The current season is just amazing.

I just finished the 1st season. The humor is fast and raunchy as hell. I watched one of the featurettes and I was surprised to learn that all the animation was done with software that I myself already have: Illustrator for the characters, Photoshop for the background, and After Effects for the animation and effects.
