Is the entire restaurant a very expensive piece of conceptual art? Is the shapeless, structureless baked alaska that droops and slumps and collapses while you eat it, or don’t eat it, supposed to be a representation in sugar and eggs of the experience of going insane?
Guy is a very good host on a good show (DD&D). Beyond that, it seems like he doesn't bring much to the table. But he isn't completely lacking in value.

I've been sucked into an episode or two, for sure. I'll even say it's better than Man v. Food which some folks seem to like. But when the network is showing it in 6hr blocks everyday it suffers from overexposure. Then when they do change to another program, it's one of the other 5 shows he's on. Blech.

Yes - found it intriguing. Save for the girl from Scrubs. Dennis Haysbert is a plus. Only bad thing is NBC moved Blacklist opposite it, so now we watch Backstrom on Hulu on Fridays.
Blacklist has so much potential, and Spader is great (I would like to make a Reddington-only video with all of his dialogue in it), but the rest of it can be so inane. We've talked about it here ad nauseum, but good grief do we have some inept, poorly trained FBI agents on this show.
I think this one hurts more than The Office, because I felt like I fully enjoyed every episode of Parks and Rec right up until the finale. That's not to say I didn't enjoy The Office in its final season, but it did kind of feel like the show "ended" prior to that.
I'm sad that I didn't start Parks and Rec earlier so I could watch this season on TV. My wife and I started on netflix and are smack dab in the middle of season 6 right now. Now we're going to have to figure out a way to watch season 7. Luckily House of Cards, season 3 starts in a few days.
I gave up on Parks after season 5. Just didn't find it as good as it was in its earlier days (like season 2, which was brilliant). Gonna check out the finale though. Lots of great characters in that show. I think Leslie and Ben got old to me, which is why I stopped watching.
I also partially caught up on Gotham. The Joker episode went back to more of a campy type episode IMO.
And the Fish Mooney portion is getting annoying. She never bothered me too much, but now being overlord in the dungeon is weird.
The kid who played the young Joker when he snapped had a good mix of Jack Nicolson and Heath Ledger in his Joker. But for some reason that bothered me too.
Season 5 seemed like filler but also a necessity to set up the final showdown between Raylan and Boyd, but the first 6 episodes of this season have been awesome.

Fish Mooney needs to die. More Bruce Wayne would greatly benefit the show.

I'm waiting for the season to finish before watching them without the week wait in between. I've got too much to watch right now anyway.
Amazing Race starts tonight at 9:30 with a 90 minute episode(!) and then moves to Fridays at 8. Weird strategy, but I guess they want it to follow Survivor's premiere to build an audience for its crappy Friday time slot.
No new Flash this week, but new Arrow tonight as well.

Yeah, it seemed that season 5 never really clicked for whatever reason, but this season is fantastic so far.
Spoiler:
It's amazing how sad I was to see Choo Choo and especially Dewey Crowe go. Justified has a real knack for making what should be standard evil henchmen sympathetic.
Sleepy Hollow season finale... (Because THE FOLLOWING is finally back next week!)
Spoiler:
I thought they could have made better use of the alternate timeline by drawing it out over several episodes instead of cramming it all into one. And the quick turn over a couple of episodes of Katrina against Ichabod seems out of place compared to the rest of the show. But being influenced by the supernatural, I guess I just need to be better at suspending disbelief.
ps...
Spoiler:
Where else would anyone have the gall to have Benjamin Franklin beheaded?
