What's the deal with that Indian kid and Not-Ed-Helms? At first they were supposed to be funny, but now I don't know what.

Enthusiastic thumbs up for "Galavant". Self-aware medieval musical comedy - Timothy Omundson and Vinnie Jones are brilliant in it, and despite them burning off episodes two-at-a-time, I hope it does well enough to come back.

I really enjoyed the first Togetherness episode. Reminded me of Married on FXX only with more potential for better storylines.

And the Mythbusters season premier with Simpsons myths was really great. Looking forward to a more streamlined season without Tory and Grant... but will miss Kari.

I wish "Mythbusters" would either cover an extra myth per show, or cut it down to half an hour or something. There's so much padding - it was like 5 minutes to show how they created the wrecking ball, which seemed about 4 minutes too long for me.

I get what you're saying, but I really liked the extra time devoted to how they built the toilet models and the wrecking ball. The wrecking ball build was ingenious! I felt that in the last few years there was too much being squeezed in to the show that they just had to say "we built this thing, it was an incredible struggle and we had to invent some new methods to do it - but we don't have time to show you that, so here's an explosion!"

What I'd really like to see is a new show that combines special effects builds work like what M5 does with the FaceOff platform.

Finally finished the last season of Californication. Man, did that ending suck. It's like the writers just gave up.

I don't want to know what Sex Box is about.

I kept wishing that "Californication" would end, pretty much at the end of every season. They kept finding a good spot to tie everything up, then it'd get renewed, and they had to carefully destroy all his relationships again so he'd have to spend the season getting them back.

Callum Keith Rennie as the music producer guy was the best side-character the show ever had, that would have been a fine last season. He had so many women that would have been perfect endgame relationships, but no...blah blah blah.

And now I have no desire to start on the final season of the show. I might read a review of the last episode to see how bad it really was.
