Two and a Half Men was good until this year
I was just commenting to a friend about last nights show.
It sucked.
The writers really don't know what to do with AK's character. It's a lousy Substitue for Charlie.

Completely agreed. I've only seen the first episode, while my parents have seen the first two: They said the second was just as bad as the first.
Up to about episode 18 on Breaking Bad. So, so good.
Also, re the bad acting save for MCH on Dexter. I just tell myself that its by design to further underscore the disconnect between Dexter and everyone else. I think it could be, right? I'm going to just keep thinking that.
Agreed so far. G/f and I just watched the first episode last night as we had the first two DVR'd. It has caught my attention enough to keep me watching.

the show does a good (read: a butt ton better than playboy club) of capturing the period in which it is taking place
Who watched this season of Weeds? I thought it was the best season in a while, but I hate how much Nancy has become a caricature of herself.
I had a really hard time getting into The Big C this year. My wife watched it, and I found myself screwing around on the computer during most episodes.
Weeds really took a drop in quality after they kind of abandoned the format after season 3. Didn't even watch it this year.
I watched the first few episodes of the big c, and absolutely hated it. I thought it was waaaay overacted, and used a cheap tactic of a terminal illness to garner sympathy for an awful awful person.
I think I may have said this before, but it seems that all of showtime's original series', well the comedies anyway, are all about irresponsible middle aged people acting like children and making really bad life decisions.

It drops off huge after the first couple of episodes. Hopefully they come back this season much much better. I don't know how you can screw up a show about zombies.
So I am really mad that Kristin Cavelleri got booted from DWTS. She was so HOT, and legitimately in the top 3 of dancing ability. And yet that no-name drunk clutz ex-husband of Courtney Cox is still on there. Also Chaz Bono who Bruno called an ewok (but I expect that the alternative lifestyle sympathizers are stuffing the ballot box for him). It is a shame too because the other gay guy is way more fun and his instructor is super hot, but I'm sure the ballot stuffing is going for Chaz.
up all night frustrates me to no end. another episode with the stuff with will arnett and christina applegate being really, really good. and the stuff with maya rudolph being a big heap of turd.
it really seems like they have 2 writing staffs. one group of funny people, and another group specializing in broad comedy for numbskulls.
When I tape castle it usually picks up the last minute of dancing with the stars. Beside golden boy ricky schroeder, I honestly can't tell who is supposed to be the star and who is the dancer

I don't agree about the dropoff last season, but there might be a significant dropoff this season. AMC cut their budget per episode by $250K, and more importantly, took creator and show runner Frank Darabonte off the show (in the middle of editing an episode). Why, do you ask? Because of the Mad Men contract - AMC needed the money to keep Mad Men on the air another two seasons. Breaking Bad also lost some of their budget too.

Ugh.
Based on zombies, did anyone see that they are making the book World War Z into a movie? I'm stoked for it.
i know they were sticking with the comic book or whatever, but they were in the woods too long in season 1 of walking dead. it got stale - which is surprising for a 6 episode show.
i still liked it, but the first episode and the last episode were ridiculously better than the rest of the season.

I like slower moving shows. Take the time to develop the story. That being said, I agree that it was somewhat too slow with the characters not really developing much.
