If they jumped, I think it was last year. I thought this season was an improvement.

Matthew suddenly regaining his legs, and the missing cousin story. Both of those were lame.

My wife bought me the first season of Modern Family. Sometimes those first seasons aren't great because it takes time for the characters to evolve, but holy [expletive] that thing is funny from day 1. Seriously the funniest show I thing I've ever seen on TV. So many good characters.

Yeah, I'm glad Rick is over being Pyscho Rick. Although, it almost cost everyone...

Who drove the zombie bomb? (The girl on the wall in the first scene?) Probably doesn't matter, except that I bet Andrea kills that person next episode.

Who's the favorite to kill the Govenor? As the favorites, I have Glenn at even money and Andrea at 3:1.

So glad Daryl's back, brother and all. Daryl smashing the zombies head in the station wagon's trunk, that was awesome!

And where are Tyreese? And can they forgive Rick for flipping out on them?

i believe the crossbow lady was killed in the previous epside.

if thats who you are talkin' about. i'm not sure if the governor is gonna make it to season 4 or not, that obviously plays a part on who kills him. i can see michone, rick, glenn and maggie as favorites. maybe even andrea though that would probably make it seem a little...obvious, ie the former lover killing him.

Yeah, the wheels came off the bus on "Downton Abbey". I read someone on another site suggest they should do a big time skip forward and revamp the cast. Personally I think they should skip to 1939. They could follow Matthew Jr. off to war.

That brunette chick from Justified last night was hotter than a two-peckered billy goat.

The wife and I watched a few episodes of Girls last night and got caught up. I know it's really mean, but when the Dr. dude told Hannah how beautiful she was. My wife and I both started laughing...
I mean she's one weird looking chick. And she doesn't need to take it all off every episode. And she's a complete hipster with more issues than you can list. So, she's kind of the opposite of beatiful in every way I can think of.

Is there anything worse for a sitcom than a wedding storyline? Parks and Rec--super lame.

How bad? Well, they are going to finish February sweeps FIFTH, behind the other three broadcast networks and Univision. And the highest-rated show on NBC was...
