I've been watching a lot of TV recently and might as well make it (semi)productive. So, onward!

The ListenerThis is a pretty obscure show as far as I can tell; I stumbled upon it accidentally, but so far it's fairly impressive. The premise is that a young paramedic, Toby Logan, has always been able to hear people's thoughts. He starts putting this

hahhah i actually don't watch any of these, but this kind of annoying guy at work keeps trying to get me to watch workaholics, and he has REALLY BAD TASTE in tv, so i am glad to hear it sucks. :P

Yeah, these are all newish or obscure shows, so I didn't think anyone would actually have watched them.

There are seriously no words for how bad Workaholics was. I thought the premise sounded interesting, so I downloaded it, but it was just *so* awful. So very, very awful. I've never seen a show with such bad characterization (seriously, not ONE character was likable in any way), bad writing, and I hate the film style--I don't know how to describe it, but I think it's called "one camera"? It's kind of that pseudo-documentary style, which works for some shows, like The Office, but doesn't make sense to use for the hell of it in a sitcom!

Sorry. I really hated the five minutes of that show I forced myself to watch.

I have too many shows as it is but I've been kind of interested in Breaking In. Hearing that Michael Rosenbaum is in it makes it that much more interesting to me!! :))))

Breaking In is really cute, and Cash is like, this Star Wars-Star Trek nerd and there's Captain Kirk's chair and Brett Harrison is *so* cute...and MICHAEL ROSENBAUM HAS HAIR. LIKE, THIS PSEUDO-MOHAWK.

I really like it so far, so you should definitely give it a try when you get a chance! Like I said, it's a little too clever, so chances are it'll be canceled soon. Ugh. I hate how I can predict High Intelligence + Clever = Canceled Soon.

Ok, first- love, love love the layout and the manatee icon. <3333

Star Wars and Star Trek love? So perfect! <3 And faux hawks should be ridiculous but somehow are amazing instead. :)

Shall have to check it out. :)))

Yeah, I felt the need for a change--and those manatees are adorable.

Definitely! And I really cannot stress how cool Oz is. Also, I think Anya was on an episode recently. o.0
