New Girl: A very strange episode, mostly disconnected from itself.

Backstrom: A largely forgettable episode. I wasn't really paying enough attention.
New girl was baaaad. And this is on the heels of a superb episode from last week.

speaking of new girl... any one else...
Spoiler:
get the feeling like Jess and Nick are bound to get back together?
They had been on a roll with a number of good episodes in a row. This one was like watching two different shows simultaneously.

Don't watch Survivor, but Amazing Race is already 1.5 episodes in! 5 couples are on blind dates, which is an excellent addition to game play.

House of Cards:
I've got 2 episodes left. Plan to watch them tonight.
Spoiler:
Everything is just crumbling around Frank right now. Jackie and Remy are gone, Doug is likely gone for good, Claire is questioning the relationship, I can't wait to see how this one finishes up.
Does anyone know how many seasons they plan to make of HOC?

The rumor is that they will have one more 13-episode season, ending after 52 chapters.

I didn't like last nights Always Sunny. Too much Dennis and it just wasn't great. Although watching Danny DeVito dance is always hilarious.

Always Sunny has been on for ten years(!)

I've never watched it, but it's on my list to checkout someday.

I can take it in small doses of 2-3 episodes at a time. It's warped and twisted and a time just plain hysterical

lol! it caught me by surprise too. LOVE the idea of the "blind date" teams though I don't know what they were thinking teaming up a Chinese girl and a black guy. I could tell from the look on her face that she was never taking him home to meet mom and dad.
Spoiler:
and come on AR! you've got an Olympic speedskater and an Olympic bobled guy and one of the detours is pushing each other around a speed skating track??? seriously???? why not just have Phelps on there and have a detour be swimming laps???

I think CBS is trying to kill off the Amazing Race. Move it to Friday nights, then start it randomly on a Wednesday night with a 90 minute premiere. Oh, at 9:30 PM!

It's one of a handful of "adult" shows we can watch with our kids (the only one I'll watch with them, because the others are The Voice and American Idol, which I despise.)

It gets pretty decent ratings, but it must be expensive to produce.

I don't know about that. in these days of DVRs how many shows do you actually watch when they're broadcast? for me the only show that I watch at it's actual time is Blacklist. everything else I just catch up on the DVR.
I love that AR has moved to Friday nights. when it was on Sundays in the Fall I'd have to record an extra 90 minutes just because of football.

That's absolutely true. I don't own a DVR (never have, actually), but we stream it from a PC using Chromecast when we get a chance later on in the weekend.

I read an article (may have even posted it here somewhere) that talked about how TV networks needed to use more of the week to broadcast new programs, specifically because of DVRs/PVRs and streaming. It was a great idea.

Just finished season 3 of House of Cards...
Spoiler:
Why do I have a feeling in my gut that Claire is going to get some poison or something in her drink... make it look like she was sick (which would match the story he told in Iowa) and that'll be the end of Claire. It's unlikely, but I can't help thinking that's what is going to happen.
