The only shows that are entertaining, even just a little bit...are as follows:

Family Guy (though it's quickly losing any quality it had. The Star Wars episode saved it from certain doom in my eyes.)

Mythbusters

Burn Notice (though I'm really, really angry that it's a summer only show, so almost an entire year before season two. Smooth move USA, that's a genius move...NOT.)

Psych (finally, a show that's enjoyable. Funny, serious and full of mystery. Handles all three genres quite well.)

Life (new favorite, as of tonight)

'Til Death (absolutely hilarious, the season premiere was so good it makes me sad I missed the first season.)

Stargate Atlantis (ahh, one of the best sci-fi shows...ever.)

Robot Chicken (doggone it, there's some hard work in that show. Super quality.)

Beyond those shows, I don't really watch much TV. And once those shows hit the re-run area...I have next to nothing to watch on TV anymore. =\ But...it does entertain when I have nothing else.

*hugs MB2*

I wanted to watch this last night but I had to go to work, thanks so much for letting me know it'll play on the NBC site. Here I was gonna go looking for a bittorrent and you saved me all kinds of time.

btw, hope you're feeling better ma'dear.

when the truck smashes the car and you see it rolling and rolling, then there's a wide shot and you see it was a big red semi, was your first thought, "Optimus!! NO!!!!!", Lol, I swear it was the first thing that popped in my head.

holy s***. "optimus no!" was EXACTLY what i was going type!!!

idk, this series just doesn't seem very interesting to me. the fight at the end was probably the best thing in the whole hour. the crash was kind of expected, because i remember seeing it in a trailer or something.

By the way, did anyone else think the little girl's line in BW saying "I just thought it was cool that a girl could do that" or something like that when the bionic woman was running was about the lamest thing you've ever heard?
