Halfway through Making a Murderer and I'm pretty sure I'll consider it the worst show ever made when I look up all of the evidence that they didn't include in the documentary. It's so loving one sided and biased I can't watch it without rolling my eyes almost constantly. I also loving hate hillbillies. Also, no one outside of the lawyers has any idea how to use the past participle. That's my review of this bizarrely popular show, thanks.

The last couple episodes of moonbeam city were aired new at 1am after the South Park replay. They prompted the 1030 episode to just show another South Park. Don't get too invested in it. It won't be back.

I watched the first two episodes and gave up on that dumpster fire. I guess Miami Vice ripoff cartoons are just doomed to suck because even that season of Archer was absolute garbage.

And not a single one of you fucks mentioned Glee. A show that had an episode involving a school shooting right after an actual school shooting.

I remember watching the first half of season 1 on Netflix, then going to TVIV and posting "hey this show is actually pretty good, am I crazy" only to be met with a dozen goons telling me to jump ship before I ruined it for myself.

The point isn't whether or not the guy is guilty, it's about how corrupt the police were and how many innocent lives were ruined by them doing whatever it took to convict him.

Of course the people who spend the most time complaining about how bad TV is are the ones who are terrible at actually watching it and understanding it on any level beyond their bizarre hangups like guns and computers.

Lost and X Files mentioned but not Fringe?

Show started as a spiritual successor to X Files monster-of-the-week investigations but then morphed into something that had all the depth of a Futurama one liner (Infinite universes? Nope, only this one and the one with zeppelins...) then the last season jumped way into the future where they're fighting against some evil bald dudes from even FURTHER in the future that took over the world or something.

Haven't seen Lost but I can't imagine it being worse than Fringe.

Don't forget Season 3, where the show's creators decided to literally undo all character development from the first 2 seasons.

Lost disease ran rampant through television, infected many good shows, claiming several. BattleStar Galactica was bedridden by Lostitus in it's third season and it's death was not pretty. What it did to Heroes was the stuff of nightmares.

Remember only through lack of a nostalgia for Lost can we keep our TV shows safe from this horrible epidemic.

Yeah, I don't get the hate of Moonbeam City, but I've only seen the first episode as it was a free download. All things considered, I thought the humor was pretty rapid fire even if it lacked the cohesion of Archer.

Something that isn't as apparent is that one of the reasons Criminal Minds was successful was when it debuted it was wildly more gory, violent and gross than basically every other non-cable police procedural. It was also a lot less goofy and better researched than most other crime shows at the time. It also was based around a caveat that let them have every case be some big crazy serial killer thing without it being crazy like on CSI where suddenly every single front of the newspaper caliber major crime seems to magically happen in Las Vegas or Miami. This stopped mattering because police shows have always been an escalating arms war and basically every show since them built on what they did and the formerly shocking level of violence and gore was basically obsoleted or matched by other shows withing a year of it coming on the air.

It's not a good show but I understand why it got a foothold, and once you get a foothold as a procedural you can basically guarantee six to twelve seasons without worrying about cancellation because the audience of those shows is mostly over 40 and still watches TV like its 1995.

Also it was basically a ripping off/heavily inspired by a much better British show called Spooks/Mi-5, which was like the more realistic, less insane, version of 24.

http://i.imgur.com/r2YXuFLm.jpg[/img]"]Hayden Panettiere, born August 21, 1989, now 17 (legal in Texas, which is important, because her character is in Odessa, Texas) as the character, Claire Bennett. She's adorably cute, constantly in her cheerleader uniform. Ok - now never mind that she fulfills the underage cheerleading limber blond virginal demographic. That's pretty delicious. But they gave her the ability to regenerate and resuscitate from any and all injuries. This power has decided to manifest itself before she's lost her virginity. Which means - everytime she has sex, she's a virgin as her hymen will repair itself. Meaning that everytime she's hosed, its like she's being hosed for the very first time. OK - that's WAY WRONG. NOW - add to that - that she's at the age where cellular growth is complete. This is it. No wrinkles. No sagging breasts. If she has a kid and it pushes the hipbones out... they'll straighten back and she'll be fine. Of course - that's even if she could get pregnant. Would her eggs allow an invading sperm to fertilize? Is that possible? OR - is she simply doomed to enjoy threat free sex for life. Now - here's the scary part. She'll never know non-hymen blocked sex. Cuz even if it gets pushed through... on any withdrawal and cycle back in, the hymen will have grown back. SO... It's my theory that do to the constant discomfort of virginal sex with men, her character will prefer the kind attention of her fellow sex. MEANING - she'll be a hot, underage, cheerleading lesbian... for life. ALSO - she could have sex with ANYONE. Any disease - unprotected and be perfectly ok. The people behind this show are sick. Either that or they have singlehandedly created the most deviantly awesome fanboy sex object in the history of SUPERHERO FICTION. And she's from Texas. Claire... you rule!

He's also a pathological liar. He tells a story about how the entire cast of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre came to his birthday party, Gunnar Hansen gave him a basket of prop dismembered body parts and cut the cake with the chainsaw used in the movie. A story he sticks to even though every cast member that was asked said it never happened.

It was better than no finale. Imagine my surprise when I got through the last eps of Deadwood and Rome, the "complete" series. Zero resolution and impossibly quick and tidy resolution may occur if you try to connect with a show on its own merits and fail to consult the oracle first.
