I watched all 4 episodes before I knew it was cancelled. Joss Whedon can't keep a show on TV to save his life right now.

I'll keep watching The Cape. I was pretty amazed that they rushed the entire backstory into the first 42 minutes but on the other hand it lets them get to the meat of the show which is going to be;

1) Bad guys do bad things
2) The Cape stops them
3) Vince misses his family
4) Repeat

I can live with that as long as it remains entertaining. Also....The Cape is a stupid name.

Whedon is good stuff. Doesn't hurt to have had Nathan Fillion though. It was this that led us to Castle, after having caught Dr Horrible. (we were already watching HIMYM)

agreed on all parts, but I like that they poke fun at the name too, like the end

"You're a superhero, what do they call you?"
"The Cape"
"Eh..... you'll work on it"

lol

I kind of wished this would of had a 2 hr series premier as it would not of felt so rushed. However, I enjoyed it, love the Carinval, seems like if given the chance it could be a decent show. But it wont last sadly, because it doesn't begin with CSI, NCIS, or Law & Order, which seem to have network primetime TV in a headlock.

I've realllllly been enjoying this season of Human Target, what a fun show, with a pretty darn good cast.

White Collar on Tuesday, WOOOO!

I've enjoyed it. The past 2-3 seasons have been disappointing compared to the first few, so I didnt have my hopes up for this one. However, I think they picked it back up.

It will be interesting to see the direction in which the show goes once Steve Carrell leaves. Most shows would die if they lost their main character, however, I have hope for the Office because of the strong supporting cast (Dwight, Andy, Daryl, for example).

Yeah, I always assumed that your opinion was worthless, this seals the deal. The office has been great for the majority of it's run.

the last two.5 seasons for me have been a little worse than the first few but i feel this season has rebounded a little. REad an article that said carrell is leaving earlier than expected this season. i think they should kill him off for the shock factor

You know what they say about people who assume: They think "Kessel is playing way worse on a bad team" :pop:

The office is boring and unfunny.

I pretty much agree with this. The last two seasons just seem forced. Seasons 3 and 4 were brilliant though.

you liked season 4? i thought that was the beginning of the end. seasons 2 and 3 were almost perfect.

i think this has been the best season since season 3, though.

Candice Bergen being Cuddy's mom on House has the chance to become a "Jump the shark" moment.

If this is 6, then I liked season 4. Last season was watchable, but this has been almost unbearable.

Not a fan of the Office after the first season or two. I know I'm in the minority on this, but Ricky Gervais' Office is better.

The Office was my absolute favorite show up until about a season or two ago. Now its in trying too hard mode. Alot of times Michael is just so over the top stupid or such a jerk he's annoying. I know a good bit of people that prefer the British version, but it just seems like its so hard to understand them. Not only because of their accents, but the actors all mumble and you can barely hear them. If I hadn't watched the American version first, I would have no idea what the characters were talking about.

season 4 was when jim and pam got together...then the writers strike...then it ended with holly coming? terrible, terrible season.
season 5 was holly and michael...then holly leaving...michael quitting...jim and pam pregnant. better than season 4, but still meh
season 6 was last season...baby born + wedding. better than seasons 4 and 5
so this is season 7 i think. on par with season 6 imo

I think they're having four episodes this season after Carrell leaves. Wouldn't be surprised he goes with Holly to New Hampshire.
