I guess I could always see Smallville as absurdly funny.

The "One Death/Mind Control/Amnesia Per Episode/Story Arc" was an awesome rule and I felt like the show never really took itself seriously or at least I felt like it didn't...

Whereas Heroes was all "Oooh everybody watch us cus if you save the cheerleader you save the world and we have a big budget and we're on NBC and blah blah blah"

Plus Smallville was a deliberate reinvention of familiar comic characters... Heroes was ripping off the best comic story lines from the last 20 years and passing it off as "original television".

**** Heroes.

Man...as much as I hate to admit it, Heroes was pretty ****ty. I liked the season with the Carnival, but only cause I really like Robert Knepper. Then again I was liking the Cape too.

Community was as awesome as usual tonight!

i got you now, doc. thanks and i can agree with your points.

and oh ya, orphy, for a while, i'd be all like , but then it just got ridiculous like it was more of an expected thing like the amnesia that happens in every episode. lol.

i guess someone put together a montage of sorts illustrating the ridiculousness i referred to:

Getting caught up with New Girl and man am I in love Also, started watching a couple of episodes of 2 Broke Girls and while many of the jokes feel forced like they do on Whitney, at least they are funny most of the time here so it's earned a few more weeks.

Paul Bettany to Star in Showtime Pilot MASTERS OF SEX

Paul Bettany is headed to cable. The Legion actor has been set as the lead in Showtime’s new pilot Masters of Sex. The series will revolve around sexual education researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson. THR reports that Bettany will play Masters in his first foray into series television. Masters and Johnson pioneered human sexual response research, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of sexual disorders and functions. The two met in 1957, marrying years later in 1971. Their research continued up through the 1990s, until their divorce all but ended their professional partnership.

Hmmm. Another fairly established actor coming to cable. Not sure how interested I am in this show, still...
