The animated series was one of my favorite TV programs ever.  Didn't watch too many of the Warburton live action ones, but they were pretty good. This version is different - grittier.  I'm liking it.  And, yeah, they really did well with Arthur's character.

I loved the original(s), but I really like how they have nailed down Arthur's origin story. It really fits with his neurosis

We're 4 episodes in.  It's a lot of fun.

This was mentioned in another thread a while back, but Amazon has rebooted The Tick as a live action show. Several episodes were released a few days ago and I haven't had a chance to catch up, but the clips look wonderful.

The Michael J Fox Show. A comedy

Another pleasent surprise. Like him his character has Parkinsins and they handle it very well. Humor is understated unlike most of today's sitcoms that are in your face and full of sexual innuendo.

Another keeper.

one not to be missed The Blacklist. On NBC staring James Spader. Usually on Monday nights a repeat of the premier will show on Saturday night.

Don't want to give any spoilers but I was pleasantly surprised.

For you super hero/comic book/scifi fans Josh Wheadon's Marvel Agents of SHIELD had a pretty good premier show last night.

Definitely one for season pass on the DVR for me.

Not even going to give you a particular show, just turn it to AMC and leave it there.  Seriously has there every been any better TV station??

Holy crap! Not till the very end of October?? WTF?
 
Season Premiere October 25.
 
 
We gotta see how they bring Nick back to life, since he's been zombified and kidnapped by the royals.
 
 
I've heard reports from friends about some shoots going on out in the rural areas around PDX. People in trucks (with Grimm stickers on them) driving off road into the deep woods saying "we're doing road maintenance....wink-wink, nudge-nudge"
 
 
When oh WHEN will I happen upon a shoot? Or at least upon one of the actors at a farmer's market or art walk or in a damn bar!

We watched "Jack Taylor" seried the last couple of days.  Really good writing, we thought.  (On Netflix.)

Broadchurch new British detective/mystery show on BBC America starting tonight Wed. Aug. 7th.  Supposed to be pretty good. 

Was on in Britain this past spring, maybe some Peeps from across the pond have seen it already.

"The Americans" on FX Weds. 10 PM EST.

This one has potential. Soviet sleeper cell agents in Reagon's America. "Typical" suburban family only Mom and Dad are deep cover KGB agents that have been living in America FOR 20 years.

First episode was pretty good, plenty, will put this one on the DVR schedule.

Sue likes that stupid Catfish show.  She also likes The bachelor.  Gag me with a machete.

This netflix series may be pretty decent. At least the hype looks good.

Not to mention the mind control and revenge elements as well. I really liked it. It's definitely not for everyone; pretty gruesome but that doesn't bother me and I like morbid stuff to a point,as long as it doesn't involve animals (and yeah, that one scene last week bothered me). Going to watch last night's epi tonight.

I watched this and it looks like it might be very good. Creepy serial killer with a cult of copy cat serial killers? Whoa.

I just hope they let it run its course and not pull it halfway thru.

Anyone else going to check out Kevin Bacon's new show "The Following" tonight?
