I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
This season (and the last, for that matter) has been most excellent.Monkey_Driven wrote:Stellar episode of Survivor again tonight.

I have no idea how I'd watch it but with that endorsement I will have to try at some point.Farmer John wrote:The Outsider was great. It felt like an awesome (10-part) episode of the The X-Files.
Real talk: it's legit one of the top ten shows of the last decade. And one of my personal favorite shows of all time. It stumbles in small stretches. It could have/should have been shorter and the final season is a sort of largely unnecessary coda. But the laughs in S7 (when they come) are so big that I can forgive it.DissidentRival4 wrote:Wife started watching (so in essence means "we've" started watching) New Girl on Netflix. A lot funnier than I thought it'd be. We just started season 2 last night. Didn't realize how long the show has been on. Schmidt is hilarious.
Awesome - we definitely look forward to watching the whole thing. I'd always seen it on Netflix, but for some reason it just never piqued my interest, then the Mrs. saw the little clip that plays when you highlight the show and thought it looked "cute". We were both rolling the whole first episode and haven't stopped watching since..durdencommatyler wrote:Real talk: it's legit one of the top ten shows of the last decade.

It's a flawed run but in the end it's a journey well worth taking. I've seen every episode seven or eight times now. It has tremendous replay value.
