What's ST's stance on Backyardigans? My son randomly changed the channel to it a few weeks ago, and he liked it. Was dancing along. - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:28 8
- that is so cute - and my money is on him knowing how to work the controller too ... his dad's genius level right? -- nm - JenBro Sep 12, 14:54

  - They probably just play the Huckle Cat song. Over and over. And over. - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:34
- It's crack, especially the first couple of seasons. Those songs are addictive. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 12, 14:30
- not in my top 5 kiddie shows, that is for sure. - groiny Sep 12, 14:29 2
  - Haven't seen Wonder Pets ... we watch Sesame Street, Super Why, Cat in the Hat, Curious George ... sometimes Thomas, sometimes Dinosaur Train ... - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:30 1

Cassini, now orbiting Saturn, drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12 hours in 2006 and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun. Amazing photo. -- (link) - mara Sep 12, 14:22 2
- *set as background* -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:27
- *is now hypnotized and suggestible* -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 14:24
Speaking of upcoming Broadway shows, this one sounds interesting... - znufrii Sep 12, 14:16 11
- hey, when do you see MacBeth? -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:21 10
  - The Scottish Play? -- nm - moles Sep 12, 14:25 7
    - it's an adaptation called Sleep No More, and it's the hottest ticket in NY right now. - loosilu Sep 12, 14:27 5
      - they've extended it through Nov 4th now. -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:28 4
        
        they've put out calls for new cast members, apparently. it's not going anywhere. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:29 3
        
        nice -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:31 2
        
        halloween will be a crazy night to see it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:32 1
        
        no sh!t -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:38
    - not quite, but close... -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:26
  - Sleep No More? tonight! *squee* -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:23 1

Now I want to go home and watch Happy Endings. Is the Hitler/coming out episode currently available on Hulu? -- nm - Dano Sep 12, 14:12
LYC: My Sitcom Rankings - musubi Sep 12, 14:11 67
- Where is Cougar Town!? -- nm - MDH Sep 12, 14:24
- I'm a season back on P&R. I think happy endings is my current fave, then community, then p&r, then CT. note: if community - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:23 1
  - i'm on your six -- nm - moles Sep 12, 14:25
- [deleted]
- Archer > Community > Happy Endings > Modern Family > BBT. That's my list. -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:16 38
  - I am with you on 1,3,5. I do not watch 2 and 4. - groiny Sep 12, 14:18
  - Yeah, Archer is way way better than everything else. - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:18 16
    - did you see the Danger Zone shirt I made? - TFox Sep 12, 14:21 1
      - No! That is *awesome*. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:27
    - I imagine people who love Cougar Town also love Happy Endings. - musubi Sep 12, 14:19 13
      - I want to know more about Happy Endings but am afraid to google. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:20 12
        
        it's 3 guys, 3 girls...2 of them were supposed to be married, but she skipped out - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:22
        
        Hee. I call it "Friends meets Scrubs". -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 14:21 10
        
        Yeah, this is pretty close (but without all the unfair negative connotations I ascribe to Scrubs.) -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:22 6
        
        true enough. Early Scrubs, before you wanted to hear Zach Braff's death rattle. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 14:23 5
        
        I don't think I've laughed harder at a show than I did at S2. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:25 3
        
        although the Jail Season of Earl was it's equal... - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:28 2
        
        I quit Earl before the jail season. I was around juuuuust long enough to see Juliette Lewis redeem her entire career in front of my eyes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:29 1
        
        Juliette Lewis has nothing to apologize for. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:31
        
        *nods* -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:23
        
        this is pretty accurate. (I love it so much.) -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:22
        
        Hmmm...I like both. Scrubs being a favorite obviously. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:22
        
        "A little on the nose, don't you think?" (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:21
  - Out of these have only seen Modern Family and BBT, and I totally hate BBT. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:17 19
    - *shocked* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:18 18
      - I also hate BBT -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:23 17
        
        I watched it for a while, but grew real tired of it -- nm - amoxy Sep 12, 14:27
        
        in agreement with loosi is a place you never really want to be. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:24
        
        jz and his older daughter are *begging* me to pick this up. it just looks excruciating. I've never seen an epsiode. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:24 13
        
        it as bad as you think, and worse. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:28
        
        ditto. it looks like nice, safe comedy for the AARP crowd. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:27 6
        
        Just what I was thinking. Halo humor digested down and explained for those who don't know what Halo is. -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 14:31 1
        
        my impression may be off but it's on CBS. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:33
        
        The AARP crowd wouldn't get any of the jokes. Not for them at all. - Krusty Sep 12, 14:30 1
        
        probably true. I got the jokes, and yet, they were not funny. - loosilu Sep 12, 14:32
        
        I swear, I do not know you at all anymore. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:30
        
        *not* for the hot babysitter! -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:29
        
        I have all the seasons on DVD. - groiny Sep 12, 14:25
        
        I think it's the laugh track that annoys me the most. I've been having a hard time with that lately. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:25 3
        
        It's filmed in front of a live audience. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:30 1
        
        Be that as it may, I find it painful to watch most shows that have that. - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:33
        
        you mean you're cool with the hackneyed geek stereotypes? -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:29
        
        *high five* -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:23
- Me: 1 - Modern Family (even with teh sophomore slump), 2 - Big Bang Theory ; 3 - Community 4 - 30 Rock ; 5- Sunny in Philly. - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:14 12
  - 30 Rock honestly deserves a honorable mention on my list, but I'm so smitten by Phinneas and Ferb I omitted it. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:17 8
    - I forgot Archer....there's 10 shows that could make a list for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:19
    - 30 Rock is consistently very funny/hilarious. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:19 1
      - yeah, agreed. of course I only ever watch it at a friend's house when they ahve it on. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:23
    - Also: BBT sucks. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:18 4
      - thank you. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:20 1
        
        *points to moose, points to loosi* The time to re-consider is now. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:20
      - You out your mind, son! -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:19
      - ^ crazy talk, right there. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:18
  - This is where I'm at too but more of a tie between 1 & 2. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:16 2
    - MF gets my lead becuase it's got the higher peaks than BBT - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:17 1
      - Good point. Less weak episodes than BBT. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:18
- Yes, everyone should watch Phineas and Ferb. Except maybe amanda, who hates cartoons. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:13 10
  - I'm babysitting a *lot* lately so I've been forced to watch those singing christer vegetables. I'm sure I'll see this one soon. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:21 1
    - VeggieTales! - moles Sep 12, 14:26
  - She'll have seen the first three episodes and finished off a half gallon of rocky road by midnight. -- nm - Max Sep 12, 14:15
  - Really? It's not a children's cartoon? -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:14 6
    - It plays on different levels. A great deal of parody that will be totally lost on children. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 12, 14:30
    - It is, but it's hiiiiiiiilarious. I find myself laughing way more than moose jr when we watch it together. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:15 2
      - Everyone who loves it should totally also be watching Rocko's Modern Life on Nick Teen. - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:18 1
        
        Tragically, I do not get Nick Teen. And I really don't have room in my media consumption diet as it is. - musubi Sep 12, 14:21
    - it is. -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:15 1
      - (but, so?) -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:15
Because Refurbished Dave really wants to learn and listen to the brain trust (here is the exact financial situation) - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 14:09 6

  - The big car has gap - i wish someone would steal it - would be nice - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 15:16
- if you did not owe 37k in debt already, I would say go ahead and get the bed. - groiny Sep 12, 14:12 3
  - Thanks. I guess I am worried my transmission could go, its acting funny, so thought a little side savings just in case - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 14:18 2
    - well if your transmission goes, charge it on one of the cards you just freed up and pay it off aggressively. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:19 1
      - That makes sense. I guess my I think like once paid off I dont want to use again, except for emergency. Well I guess that would qualify -- nm - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 15:17
still shaking, I came within an inch of a head on wreck, some ahole whipping around a blind corner into a side exit ramp, license plate kiss - zeitgeist Sep 12, 14:09 6
- well my car did a cleaning -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 12, 14:22
- that SUX - there's no way to "defensive" drive against asswipes like that ... sorry! -- nm - JenBro Sep 12, 14:18
- wow, glad you're ok. that's nerve wracking. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:16
- Yikes, happy to hear it didn't happen. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:13
- this is why I try not to drink and drive. (couldn't resist a joke, of course, but glad you're OK) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:13
- glad you're okay. -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 14:09
I wonder what time the pretzel store closes tonight. I might actually take an earlier bus just so I can get some twists on my way home. - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:07 2
- you have pretzel stores? jealous. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:21
- it says 11:30. I think that's totally wrong. -- (link) - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:09
Which show's lead character was mocking guys wearing jereseys to watch football games? - The Ruiner Sep 12, 14:07 12
- And not funny, either. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:08 2
  - I think I'd rather watch Two and a Half Men than this. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 14:17
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:10

    - but she's so hot right now! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:12

Last night, Fox kept showing ads for the new Zooey show which were bad by themselves...but every one of them had Damon Wayans Jr in it; which is inex- - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:04 3

  - Team Emily and damn proud of it. - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:15
- And apparently, the new season of shows are so uninspiring, i didn't even realize amanda was talking about this below. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:08
I watched the pilot of the new girl on tivo. no way am I watching it again. I watch the good version of that show all ready. (happy endings holla!!) -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:04 10
- That was kind of my question about it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 14:19
- it was like they ran it through the quirk machine, right? -- nm - moles Sep 12, 14:05 1
  - I really like zooey as a person. why does she always play a caricature of herself? it;s so gross. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:08
- did H.E. get renewed? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:05 6
  - if it hadn't, people might have died. -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:07 2
    - I dunno, Human Target got cancelled, and that was the best show I have seen in some time. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:09 1
