"The Last Man on Earth", which is pretty good,

debuted to great ratings.

And that was in a country that didn't know that Alexandra Daddario was on the show for 2 minutes!

I though LMoE was good, not great. I like that it's a little challenging in the pilot. I hate that girl too much to find her terribly funny right away. The comedies I've had to grow into (SunnyP, BBC's The Office) have often become my favorites.

We'll see. I've always been a sucker for Will Forte's really odd charm.

That Ghostbuster's song scene had me laughing as hard as I've laughed at anything for a while.

I didn't watch BB, but decided to give BCS a go. I liked what I saw, but was a bit on the fence to fully commit. This scene sold me on the show. I am all in.

Breaking Bad is full of stuff like that (though I have to admit, I'm not sure any were as funny as Tony the Toilet).

If you're digging Saul, you should definitely try Breaking Bad.

I watching BB on Netflix for first time last month and it became like crack to me, couldn't stop watching it. Literally shot through the whole show in little more then a week.

Somebody's gonna mash this up with Hank's revelation scene, right?

I just watched season one of The Americans and I'm wondering why that show isn't more popular. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Didn't think an awful lot of Gilligan's other new show, Battle Creek. Bit of a snooze, but could be something.
