Never saw or cared to see Last Resort or 666 ParkAvenue. Couldn’t make it more than a few minutes into Partners. ---

I was enjoying _Last Resort_, but I didn’t expect it to last long. Never watched _666_. ---

I kinda liked “Partners”… Certainly out of the gay shows, it beat the pants off “The New Normal”. ---

I saw the first few episodes of Last Resort. It was good, but I gave up when I saw the writing on the wall. ---

See, this is why I never watch a new show until they announce its second season renewal. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > See, this is why I never watch a new show until they announce its second season renewal. The plot of “Last Resort” really should only be 1 season - they’d have to plan some complete new intrigue to drag it out. The article says it’s cancelled “after 13 episodes” so I assume they’ll be allowed to finish it off. ---

Aww, man, we really liked 666 Park Avenue ☹ ---

Andre Braugher is one of my favorite actors. He really should be bigger. The premise didn’t catch me so I didn’t watch but I’m sorry he is out of work. ---

And yet 2 Broke Girls somehow continues to survive. Have you _seen it_ lately? It’s getting even more incomprehensibly stupider than ever. The mind boggles… ---

_Last Resort_ confounded me. I think I was expecting a particular kind of plot, and they went in a different direction, so somewhere along the line I lost the thread and didn’t manage to engage. ---

> [@Max\_the\_Immortal](#): > > _Animal Practice_ was canceled a month ago, wasn’t it? Yep, it’s replaced by _Whitney_. A win-lose situation. And we still wait for _Community_ to come back. _Made In Jersey_ lasted a whole 2 episodes. I am surprised _Mob Doctor_ is still on. ---

> [@Washoe](#): > > And yet 2 Broke Girls somehow continues to survive. Have you _seen it_ lately? It’s getting even more incomprehensibly stupider than ever. The mind boggles… That show was created by Whitney Cummings, who also has her own (unfunny) sitcom on NBC, and will be getting a chat show on E! in a couple of months. She must _really_ have good dirt on CBS and NBC executives. ---

She must _really_ have good dirt on CBS and NBC executives. Whitney is one of those shows that most people loathe and for some weird reason I like. _Like, not love_, mind you. Watching Two Broke Girls as I type this, the Polish woman is the worst character ever on a sitcom. Dumping her from the show would be the best move they could make. She is the Jar-Jar Binks of broadcast TV sitcoms. I hit the mute button at the first sign of her.
