TV Ratings: About A Boy up, Growing Up Fisher even, Voice Season Low, Glee and Goldbergs down, and SHIELD series low 5.39M/1.8 -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 09:10 16
- I'm deep into Season 2 of Scanal and I'm so in love with that show, I can't breathe -- nm - Pippy Apr 2, 09:16
- It is sad because SHIELD has turned into much of what people have wanted it to be. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:16 7
  - I agree. Its been great. I take solace in knowing that ratings across the board were low last night. - Jovian Apr 2, 09:19 3
    - it would probably be fine, if there were not like 50 better shows on . -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 09:21 1
      - SHIELD became what I hoped it would and right now is my #1 must watch show. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:25
    - Agreed. I love that the actors are on twitter. After last night they said, "If you thought that one was something, next week will blow your mind!" -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:20
  - The commenters were saying it got very good. Like many, I gave it a chance, it wasn't any fun, so I bailed, and I'm not re-watching. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 09:19
  - I watched the one with Sif, it still kind of did nothing for me. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 09:18 1
    - No, not that one (though that had some of the qualities). -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:19
- I have to admit...I've started deleting my Voice recordings. I think I'm over it. -- nm - Jim Apr 2, 09:13
- so people just didn't watch TV last night ? -- nm - decline Apr 2, 09:12 2
  - I didn't. My wife did. I worked on restyling ST's sidebar instead. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 09:18
  - The Voice had nearly 12M viewers, NCIS and NCIS had nearly 17M and 15M respectively. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 09:16
- i actually watched Glee last night. I have no idea how the fans feel, but i like the move to NYC. -- nm - Andie Apr 2, 09:12 2
  - I've really enjoyed the NY episodes (DVRs last night), the problem was trying to keep the Glee club involved. That killed the show. - MDH Apr 2, 09:15 1
    - i saw one or two when they were going back and forth between the school and NY and it just made no sense story-wise. -- nm - Andie Apr 2, 09:20
Another BS decision from SCOTUS is not a good way to start the day. - Guy Apr 2, 09:06 4

  - from the product page it looks like it has pretty much everything the Roku does -- nm - decline Apr 2, 09:03 2
    - It doesn't have the competition like Vudu and Target Ticket. - David Apr 2, 09:12 1
      - I see Flixster on the list... -- nm - oblique Apr 2, 09:16
  - I think the adds are gaming, no buffering (supposedly), and a much better search. -- nm - Inigo Apr 2, 09:02 3
    - Amazon's content management is it's ecosystem's major downfall. I hate trying to find stuff on Amazon via any interface they've provided - oblique Apr 2, 09:11
    - [deleted] 1
      - that damn HBOGo (although you can't get it with the Roku either with comcast) -- nm - decline Apr 2, 09:07
  - Almost like Google TV 4.0, Android Based.Prolly the reason they didn't buy Roku. -- nm - Rula Stacks Apr 2, 09:00
- [deleted] 5
  - It'll be interesting to see if the games are quality or not. -- nm - Inigo Apr 2, 08:57 1
