Even if it's been around a while?

I fell behind on Chuck, but spent a few weekends getting caught up. I know it's going away, but I've invested 4 years into.
Noooo. I was talking about a 1st season that is not coming back for a second. The Event for instance...

Wait until they start watching TV. I've watched like every episode of every show on Sprout in the last few months.

No bday card to Chica yet. We were thinking maybe this year.

Not a big fan of Kipper. I like the Pajanimals though.

Why wait? Phineas and Pherb is an awesome show.

I'm going throught that right now with my kids, I'm so excited to show them all the cool things I watched when I was kid, that I'm starting to get ahead of myself. They love Thundercats, Gummi Bears, Transformers, etc... so I started showing them Batman the animated Series from the 90's. I don't know how you should introduce these things to them, but I think that may be a little premature for a 2 and 4 year old? They seem to enjoy it, but I dont' know if they know exactly what's going on. We recently watched all the star wars and while they loved it, they also asked "who is that" or "what happened" every 5 seconds. When they watch Little Einsteins, they never ask that... I recently shelved Gremlins and Jaws until they get a little older.

Pajanimals is great, anything that has Jim Hensons name attached to it usually works out. Doesn't hurt that it's only 2 minutes long either

I laughed a lot watching Phineas and Pherb. Tons of adult humor in that show.

We stuck through to the end of it, even knowing it was already gone. Really strange too, in that the season finale wasn't shot to be a series finale, and leaves open questions.

that is important in that industry. something that both kids and parents can watch with both taking something entirely different from the show.

I like the fact that they are short. I think I have an attention span of a 2 year old, so these shows fit well for me.

PS - Kelly is hot from the Sunny Side up Show.

Yup. The dialogue...

"What are you guys doing?"
"Turning Perry's involuntary muscle reflex into a sporting event."

...would not be as funny to a 3 year old.

Watched the latest episode of Hell on Wheels. Good stuff. I have no clue where they are going to take this show in future seasons. Exciting.

is it a season-finale or series finale? I'm so far behind (that I haven't even finished the pilot)...
I was into that show when it first came out, and then I just became meh on it.
You should become un-meh. It has been pretty good the past few episodes, IMO.

Anyone else disappointed that Derpy Hooves was apparently not in “Family Apprciation Day?” That’s the first episode in season two she wasn’t in.

Watched about half of the debut of The Firm the other night. Didn't bother watching the second half. I'm not sure why they needed to have the Grisham novel/movie as the backstory for the show, other than to draw viewers in (I guess it worked on me).

Also, anyone remember this cartoon:

I was thinking, prior to December, I was pretty busy with my shows. But after about 2 weeks, I have about 5 shows that are done for the season/forever:

- The League
- Hell on Wheels
- American Horror Story
- Chuck
- Community

And I only have 1 coming on: 30 Rock.

So I should be freeing up a lot of TV time.

I love watching great acting and not knowing anything about the actors themselves.
watched the first 2 episodes last night. Really good show, looking forward to catching up, I quite enjoy these old period piece dramas
