TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[Cole Burns]

Archer has been absolutely horrible this season. I know I'll get burned for saying that - but it's the truth. I hate that Pam is hooked on coke for no real reason except to make her skinny. But even with that aside, the writing has hit a door and just can't get through it. I really thought the new direction would liven things up, but it hasn't. It's tanked.

Anyone watching the show "Turn"? I added it to my DVR and wanted to get some feedback before I started it.

what night is it on?

I watched the first two episodes and it didn't do anything for me and I think that's because after GoT and Mad Men, I'm a little TV'd out. I'm going to record it and watch it some other night.

I agree. I haven't watched the last two episodes.

Not a great overall season for Archer, but I applaud them for trying a new premise. I enjoyed several episodes, but agree that the "bad spies, worse drug dealers" theme landed flatter than expected.


I love Bob's Burgers.

Archer has its moments (Kenny Loggins guest starring?), and there are always a number of references that fly over some people's heads, but this season was a gamble gone wrong.

Hopefully next season is better.

I love Bob's Burgers.

Me too. I love how unafraid they are to get really weird, like Tina's zombie fetish.

Mad Men sure does have a lot of story lines at this point. I have no idea how they all get tied up. We haven't even seen Betty yet this season. (Is she skinny again?). Also, wasn't really expecting Cooper to be a racist. But then, that's kinda the point of the show: When the show started, in that era, casual racism was standard. Now, in 1969, it really stands out. The times, they are a changing.

They're my favorite TV family. They're all weirdos, but they all support each other in their weirdness. Belchers over [expletive].

Betty was skinny last season. There was that episode where they hooked up at Bobby's camp.

I don't think of Mad Men as the kind of show that has to tie up stories. That's partly what I like about it, and also why I find Weiner's secrecy so odd. The plot seems secondary.
