For a while it seemed like I stopped watching comedies but I like How I Met Your Mother, Rules of Engagement, Modern Family, Cougar Town (not great but weirdly funny), Big Bang Theory, The Office, and Outsourced (also not great but seeing a sitcom based in India on TV is kind of cool).

[-Deborah-]

I'm with you on all of them 'cept Rules of Engagement and Big Bang Theory. I like both of those shows, but I always seem to have DVR scheduling conflicts when they're on so they lose out. I've only seen a handful of episodes from them.

The rest, I watch regularly.

Yeah, Outsourced could be better but I do dig the Indian aspect of it. Particularly after working closely with an offshore Indian team for a few years. I think the Indian actors they've cast are really good and very likable.

I've seen interviews with the cast of Outsourced and three of the actors (Mowdry, Gupta, and Raj) have American accents, Asha has a British accent, and Manmeet has an Australian accent.

Actually, The Office and Outsourced both lose scheduling conflicts for me too (Fringe, CSI, and Nikita) but I end up watching them online. Normally I don't like to do that but with sitcoms it's not so bad.

Manmeet is my favorite.

Um, yeah, well I said it. lol

Has anyone watched Great Migrations on National Geographic channel? They have some interesting footage.

[Tom]

Has anyone been watching The Event? I saw the first two or three episodes and haven't really watched since even though I've recorded every episode. Is it worth it?

[-Deborah-]

I'm about two episodes behind but I like it and it's more forthcoming than the shows it's trying to emulate (Lost, Flash Forward, 24).

So Olivia has been finally revealed to Walternate and co...and Peter knows who Bolivia is. It seems Olivia will finally get back to our universe..but how? My guess is Broyles breaks down and helps her. Walter sends Peter across to rescue her. What will happen to Bolivia?

Detroit 1-8-7 has been canceled. As it should be, what a terrible show, though I watched it b/c its in Detroit that's all. ABC did not order the 4 extra episodes to give Detroit 1-8-7 a full season, and are premiering a new medical drama (ugh) when Detroit concludes it's 18 episode run.

I love Survivor and sometimes, the CSIs. But mainly I watch news and the NFL of course. Thanks to courtesy the NFL Network!

[Tom]

I liked tonight's episode of 1-8-7. I was hoping it would do well.

[-Deborah-]

I really don't get what it takes to keep a show for another season. The show was getting good ratings, always #2 in its timeslot. Do only #1 shows get kept? The networks are too impatient.

[Tom]

Yeah, I wished networks would follow NBC's example with Seinfeld and The Office. Both of those shows struggled early and became big-time shows.

[Coop]

ha !

I guessed it right about Broyles...didn't think he'd get caught though ! quite nasty of Walternate to swap his dead body for Bolivia...the scene where Broyles encounters the dead body of alternate Broyles is eerie.
