Are they pants that you have already been “excited” in? ---

I’ll be watching via Amazon again, like I did with _Terriers_. Very much looking forward to it! ---

The ads on FX tonight say it’ll be on Feb. 9 at 10pm EST. Hurray!

But I found several references to older threads, in titles as well as within the thread proper. Just not recent. No harm done! Good place to chat up what’s likely to happen and who all may be involved in the season. Also, other of the good shows due to restart in the next few weeks. ---

Yeah, I really enjoyed this show. The down side for me this year is that Comcast has made it tough to record shows - I now have to use their special box and if I want to record I have to remember to put the box on the right channel. That means I will be much less likely to remember when it is on. ---

Can’t wait! Does anyone know how many episodes will be produced this season? ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Can’t wait! Does anyone know how many episodes will be produced this season? Not that these things are all that reliable (I’ve seen them fail to come true on other shows) but a clue can be seen at [Justified (TV Series 2010–2015) - Episode list - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1489428/episodes) We can hope! ---

Back in May, FX ordered [13 episodes](http://www.ismyshowcancelled.com/article/2010-05-03/justified-gets-a-second-season-order/) for a second season. ---

Looks to me like this season may be even better. I can’t get over the dialog! And the new characters, especially > [@](#): > > The new bad guys: It’s a family thing. Givens’ chief nemesis this season will be the Bennett family, the biggest pot growers in Harlan County. Middle son Dickie (Jeremy Davies of “Lost”) has a mean streak and a grudge against Raylan, but the real force in the family is the grandmotherly-seeming matriarch Mags (Margo Martindale, “Secretariat,” “The Riches”). The Bennett and Givens families have a long history – and not all of it bad, which gives Olyphant lots of room to play. – swiped from [http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/02/justified-4-things-to-know-about-season-2.html](http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/02/justified-4-things-to-know-about-season-2.html) Maybe it’s just that they’re not on right now to compare with directly, but for the moment _Justified_ is head and shoulders above _Mad Men_, _Breaking Bad_, and _Sons of Anarchy_ for crispness of plot, characters and dialog. Best show on these days!
