You know, we were actually going to give your new show a chance, but you fucking blew it you marketing weasels. We were enjoying Once Upon a Time, but you saw fit to distract us from a show we really like with a fucking stupid count-down. So, fuck your new show. ---

I dug it. (I’m not comparing it to the French adaptation of the novel, I’m just taking it on its own.) ---

On the same note: how is it that _Two Broke Girls_ is still on when CBS can’t even find 30 seconds of funny lines to fill up its (constant) promos for the show? Seriously, I’ve seen funnier deportation proceedings.\* I love sitcoms, even the dumbest of them, but who watches _that_ shit? \*the tricked out dumpster house thing was cool. ---

Good point, **Really Not All That Bright** , I agree- if the preview/ad can’t find anything funny- how funny can the show be? But back to ABC- guys, annoying us with those things popping up in the corner every second minute is a way to lose customers, not gain them. ---

It’s still on the air because a hell of a lot of people watch it. I don’t, it’s just not my jam, but millions of other people do. Never underestimate the power of dirty jokes coming from a girl w/ huge knockers. ---

Seriously, I’ve seen funnier deportation proceedings.\* I love sitcoms, even the dumbest of them, but who watches _that_ shit? _ **Two Broke Girls.** _ I’ve been to funnier funerals. _ **Resurrection** _ isn’t too bad. So far. I’m not big on shows with religious themes. However, this one seems to be pretty good. ---

I have not watched it yet, because it was on opposite _The Good Wife_, and I know I like that show. And I assume that ABC will re-run the premiere at some point. ---

Which includes me, btw. 😉 I liked _Resurrection_. Not sure how they are going to make it a multi-year series, but we’ll see. ---

Hmmmmm,I haven’t even seen “Resurrection” yet,aside from the 30 sec preview. So far it looks like another piece of crap from the minds of 2 Broke Girls.Still,I miss L&O:CI,before they killed off Captain Deakins & Goren lost it. ☹ ---
