Just watched the Premiere episode for Bones (Season 10) and I'm absolutely stunned they killed off Sweets (John Francis Daley). This was the LAST thing I expected to see.

Really?  Considering he was intended to be Gorgomon once upon a time, I'm amazed that he lasted this long.

Maybe they were feeling pressure after House Of Cards and Game Of Thrones to kill off an important character, in order to seem relevant.  Or maybe Sweets needed out of his contract (he does write movies, I believe).

He writes as well as fronting his own band. I wish he would have stayed a little bit longer. I just find it odd that his replacement on the show is basically a clone. He looks EXACTLY like Daly. Weird.

I watched the first episode of Mulany. Not good. Wasn't even close to being funny. It's dumb writing. The jokes are too on-the-nose with not payoff. Also, for a show that is being hyped up as a comedy, I find it ironic that they have to rely on a laugh track. I can't tell you how much I hate laugh tracks. They make me cringe whenever I hear one. I doubt I will return to this show any time in the future.

Never heard of it.

We tried Cristela (abc), last night and we're rather amused. We'll watch more.

With nothing on OnDemand for my shows that I watch, I decided to give Black-ish a chance. I enjoyed the first episode enough that watching the 4 episodes they currently have uploaded won't be a problem. Always been a fan of Anthony Anderson and Laurence Fishburne. So, with Fishburne on Black-ish as a full time character, they pretty much give away who dies at the end of Hannibal which p*sses me off. It's another case of Spoilers biting me in the ass. Now, it's possible that he still lives and can do both shows at once. But I'm not holding my breath on that....Anyway, give Black-ish a shot, you may be pleasantly surprised you like it.

I like Black-ish for the reasons you stated. I'll continue to watch.

Totally lovin' Black-ish. This is probably the funniest show on TV right now. A lot of great inside jokes.

YOu know, I've been catching little pieces of Peter Pan Live and it seriously feels like watching an SNL skit but with no punchline... it's strange.  I also get this feeling that Christopher Walken could forget all his lines at any moment and just wander around and the show would be exactly the same.

I've been watching to short episodic series from NetFlix.

Darknet (6 ep.) @ 1/2 hour each.
I find them entertaining. With the feel of Tales From The Darkside, these are contemporary, more complicated and a longer payoff. Not the last second reveal. Very interwoven set of tales that while being told don't seem to have a connection, but as we get to the end, reveals peel open right and left. Each one is a surprise, meaning I didn't figure it out. I recommend it.



Black Mirror (6 ep) 37 minutes.
I've only watched one, but it packs a punch and anxious to watch the rest. The first episode is clearly pushing limits in content. The language is way over in R-rated territory, but I think very appropriate. This is some serious WTF sh*t and you either dive in or **** foot around. In fact the subject matter just may be a huge issue with many a folk. Black Mirror dives in. Contemporary setting with clear conflicts with technology. I highly recommend this one.

Can I tell you how psyched I am that we've finally got Black Mirror on Netflix?  What an awesome show, I've been waiting for this thing to crack into the states.

Black Mirror White Christmas promo just came out.  Looks like it'll be a little Hamm-y.
