I can't believe I'm saying this, but Bieber was pretty funny on SNL last night. Definitely surprised me, could of done without him singing so much in some skits though. I thought the Super Bowl power outage skit was great. Jay Pharoah’s impersonation of Shannon Sharpe was great, "Ray Lewis knows who killed those people because it was him!".

So, THe Walking Dead returned last night.
It's good and all, but Rick, as he's losing his mind, is quickly becoming unlikeable. The show is full of unlikeable charcters, so, it's tough to be losing one of the few likeable and true "good guys".

Darryl left the group, he didn't leave the show. He'll be back to the group sooner or later.

First episode back sucked. Took all the slapstick elements of previous seasons with really clumsy attempts at emotional stakes with no wit or subtlety.

It was OK. I liked the Muppet Babies schtick. And Fred Willard should replace Chevy, but I'm sure they just wrote out Pierce all together.

I don't watch the show, but in an interview w/ Joel McHale, he said Chevy will still be on the show this season as he had quit after the taping had finished.

I'm rather surprised Community came back at all. I like the show but feel like it ran a pretty good course already. I doubt it goes past this year though. Harmon's next thing is on Adult Swim which is a better place for him.

I think he'd shot most of the episodes, but had to be written out before the finale.

He has development deals with Fox and CBS as well.
