Thats a ****ing ringing endorsement if I've ever heard one.

Which isn't to say that it is as good as Arrested Development, but it has the potential. Each of its 5 episodes are amazingly strong.

It is really good.

Ed O'Neill makes you forget he was Al Bundy... and the gay couple cracks me up.

The big mistake they are making is trying to set up a replacement for LOST. They tried to start off with a mystery right out of the gate where as LOST had plenty of drama to start off the series before they even kicked in with too much mystery.

Oh, and LOST had Abrams.

I'm still sticking it out for FF but the end of last weeks ep really pissed me off.

That guy is a KStater and is straight as an arrow.

I don't paticularly care for the acting in a good portion of it. I really liked the frist two episodes that set it up but it seems to be moving slowly now. I tired on the flash backs and forwards in LOST so to have them in another show where it is the entire storyline just irks me. My other thought is it just seems to be lacking something that makes we want to come back. I am not left saying...Damn the hour is over already like I am with Fringe or Sons of Anarchy or for that matter Modern Family.

Is Fringe still good? I tried finding a torrent of the first season because it's not available on hulu but no avail.


At Reaper's recommendation - comparison [to AD], really - I watched the first two episodes of Modern Family. Hilarious. Definitely keeping it throughout the season.

Fringe in my opinion is great. One of the best shows on TV but I like the Sci Fi type of stuff

Well I watched from the premiere til like 8 episodes in and decided it wasn't going anywhere and dropped it. Little did I know that it would blow up and become a hit and actually went somewhere.

I heard it got an actual story arc after a while.

I am limping through it on DVD, as I stopped watching it after about 6 episodes on TV. I think I'm through 7 now on DVD...

IMO, it's back to going nowhere.

I could barely sit through the past few episodes.

Caught up on Modern Family. Even tonight's. I can definitely see why the AD comparison would come up. I wouldn't call it equal - yet - but it's got potential.

Hell yeah. This show has a ton of potential. Every episode had been hilarious thus far. Definitely my favorite new show of the fall season that's for sure. I think The League on FX might have some potential too. I guess we'll have to wait until tonight to find out.
