Yes. I watch most of the USA shows... the only ones I haven't watched are the ones they've just recently been putting out (Necessary Roughness, Suits, & whatever that cop show is).

Suits and Necessary Roughness are pretty good. I've only seen 1 episode of the cop show, so I don't really know much about it.

FYI, the whole first episode of The Newsroom is on Youtube (posted by HBO themselves):

So Directv has a new series that they're about to start showing called Hit & Miss. It looks like it's about a hit-woman that has kids, sort of a Leon: The Professional type TV show. So I decided to look more into it...

Spoiler: show

Apparently, the main character is played by a chick, but she's actually a dude that became a transvestite but before he did that, he knocked up some woman so now he/she/it has a kid that he/she/it has to raise.

I'm undecided if I'll watch it or not.

Here's a couple of trailers for Hit & Miss

Thanks! I will watch this soon. I've heard good things about it. They said the ratings were okay. About 2M viewers.

Watched my DVRed Sunday night shows last night.

Falling Skies continues to be what it has been, so I won't continue to beat a dead horse and bitch about a show that I get about 90% enjoyment and 10% frustration because I think that it could be much better.

The Newsroom was very good. Very interesting. I'm not sure if it will eventually be one of those shows that start out with a good premise, but turns into an hour long sermon about this or that. So far, so good, and I'll continue to watch throughout the first few sermons, because HBO has earned some benefit of the doubt with their original series.

Also getting caught up on the second season of Boardwalk Empire. Diggin' it, so far.

I'd be interested to hear what your complaints are. I have some of my own, but they are pretty minor outside of the fact that I don't think the creators of the show really know what they want to do with the aliens yet.

It's created by Aaron Sorkin. The guy who wrote A Few Good Men, The American President, The West Wing, The Social Network, and Moneyball. I can guarantee you this, it'll be good for, at the very least, 3 seasons and it's going to be the best damn television he's ever done because he's finally on a network that will let him go as far as he wants as well as the premise of the show is going to allow them to do so many wonderful things

Spoiler: show

since it's set 2 years ago and using current events of that time as their basis for the show's news reporting

which, btw, is BRILLIANT of them to do.

Also getting caught up on the second season of Boardwalk Empire. Diggin' it, so far.

The second season just ruined that show for me. Not sure exactly where they are wanting to go with it.

[JBHuskers]

A show I didn't think would stick with me, but has been getting better is TBS's Men At Work. Breckin Meyer has done a good job creating a pretty good comedy.

for anyone who likes watching the deadliest catch/swamp people type of shows, SHARK WRANGLERS is on tonight, on the history channel at 10.

AMAZING television show on HBO called The Newsroom. If you aren't watching this show, you are missing out on GOLD.

I watched the series premiere. No lie, show's really good. Series is now set to record. The cool thing about the show is that they use real news stories so they can potentially never run out of material.

Last season of Weeds started this week(at least it's supposed to be the last season). 1st episode wasn't bad. Hopefully it gets back to being good for a final go after 2 disappointing seasons.

[JBHuskers]

After losing interest in Falling Skies, you guys are talking me back into it. I still have to watch the first season yet though.

[morsdraconis]

Last night's episode had some interesting things happen in it. More information on how the aliens operate and such.

[JBHuskers]

Watched Anger Management the other night. It wasn't bad. Not earth shattering, but not terrible either. I'll probably stick with it.

I haven't caught up on my DVR for it. Think I'm on the 2nd episode but I was interested in the build up of the show so set the series to record. Probably will watch them all tomorrow.

I enjoyed it, it's not "2 and a half.." which I really liked but I did think the first episode was funny.

Really looking forward to the next Burn Notice. Caught the lastest episode last week on DVR. And of course Franklin & Bash.

During the NBA playoffs I watched an episode of Falling Skies, then watched the next one after but hadn't watched it previously or continued watching. Made me wish I would have started watching from when the series started.

Well, it's coming back for at least a second season. I was reading last night's rag, there was a small clip back in the entertainment section, Newsroom has been green lit for a second season, after only two episodes. They said despite mixed reviews, it had a healthy audience for it's premiere with over 2.1 million viewers.

Finally had a chance to check out the Pilot of Homeland for free On-Demand. Definitely going to pick that up on Blu-ray and check it out at some point.

I've been wanting to check out Homeland for a while. Damn not having HBO and Showtime. Miss out on all the good shows and have to hope they show up on Netflix or something or get a chance to preview them before putting the money down for the Blu-ray or DVD sets.
