The Chris Rock/Prince episode really delivered. One of the few times I legitimately cared about the musical act.

Has anyone been watching Gracepoint? It's really giving me a vibe from The Killing, in that it's just good enough to keep me watching.

I've never seen the original, Broadchurch, but I know who the killer is from that, and they've promised a different one this time.

My theory below:
[SHOW]
The CSI tech is the one who did it. Wasn't even on my radar until he kept awkwardly asking Anna Gunn's character on a date. Seemed like such an out of place scene for a minor character. Maybe he killed the boy to get a chance to work with her and get closer.

I'm pretty sure it had its own thread.

This doesn't really belong in this thread since it is mainly about good TV, but good lord network shows keep getting worse and worse.

NCIS New Orleans? Really?? Complete with fake accents. Just seeing the promo commercials was enough to say no.

Madam Secretary and State of Affairs look incredibly dumb. Just stick a blonde babe in a role as a cabinet member and watch the ratings soar (I suppose that's the mindset)

L&O SUV, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD with crossover episodes. One bad series combined with 2 others equals must see TV, I guess.

Thank God for Netflix. I'm four episodes into Season 2 of Orange.

That's another reason I love the DVR. I have a handful of shows I watch and I can watch them at my leisure and all those other shows are just noise.

I have a 6-year-old daughter. Once in a while we'll be watching something live, probably a sporting event, and I have to explain to her that we can't skip past the commercials.
