All Things:Fx

OK, the boyfriend Scared Straight episode of Man Seeking Woman was pretty good. Starting to branch out a bit. OK...let's see what happens.
The destination wedding one pretty clever too.

Man Seeking Woman got re-upped for a second season despite fairly poor ratings. There was a moment where I thought the show was kinda one note-y, but the addition of some actual emotional weight along with their gimmick has stretched things out a bit. So I will stick with it in the hopes that it continues to grow. Kudos, once again, to Fx for sticking with a good show in the hopes that it finds it's footing, and an audience. Part of the problem continues to be FxX's lost in limbo status, they really have to start treating that like an actual channel and not just a Simpsons network.

Anybody read the book MSW is based on? I was reading about it the other day and it sounds pretty funny.
 
Been enjoying MSW and IASIP in recent weeks. I really enjoy both of them and think as far as comedies go they are two of the better tv offerings. They are in my first tier viewing choices along with South Park and Key And Peele. I tried to watch Big Bang Theory the other day.....cant believe that show is such a hit given its basically recycling every situation comedy setup joke and punchline since Lucy worked the candy factor conveyor belt with Ethel.

Adgy makes a great point...Id be interested in reading the original book the show is based on as well.
 
Hah they did a great job with the screaming baby in justified. It really brought home just how frazzled Winona is. I could barely hear some of the dialogue in that scene because the screaming was so loud.

No doubt. There's actually a ****load of good comedy on TV right now, which is strange to me. If you haven't been watching Broad City or Workaholics, I highly recommend them both.

And, of course, Jack and Triumph on Adult Swim. :)
 
Sunny...so ****ed up. Man, this show has ebbed now and then but they are in such a groove as far as the writing...at ten seasons. Impressive.

And Justified was so very good. Again. Boyd has been played a little 'broad' this season, but that look on his face when he put the loaded cartridge in the gun...classic Boyd.
 
Watched Workaholics here and there but think Adam Levine is vastly overrated.

And late Edit- MSW is insanely inventive. Its almost Monty Pythonish.

Damn Archer has been good this season. I am a bit surprised at some of the stuff they get away with airing.
Also this..

Wow...Justified sure went in a direction I was not expecting. And the possibly taken out of context preview with Art saying (roughly) 'you go after Boyd and I come after you' presumably to Raylen...well, spinoff anyone? Just a fine final season and with only 3 left I certainly have NO idea how this will play out. Seen a lot of speculation that the creepy hipster hating (he's not all bad) cowboy may be Raylen's undoing. As Deadwood as that might be...I hope that ain't true.

I am super happy to see that pretty much every single one of my predictions was completely wrong. I should have known better.
 
I was totally impressed with such a turn Justified took to have Ava kill Boyd, but of course she just gives him a flesh wound and he is up and walking next week.

If Raylan is having his showdown with dork Raylan next week, all my money is on Raylan since it is not the final episode.
 
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!: ‘The Americans’ Has Been Renewed For Season 4
http://uproxx.com/tv/2015/03/u-s-a-u-s-a-u-s-a-the-americans-has-been-renewed-for-season-4/

The Americans, which has snatched the title of Best Show on Television from either Mad Men, Breaking Bad, or CSI: Cyber, has been renewed for a fourth season, FX announced today. Ratings for the series are rather dismal, but DVR usage has increased this season, and it’s a hit on Amazon Prime. Couple that with being FX’s “prestige” show, and you’ve got yourself 13 more episodes of Keri Russell slowly, tortuously killing people. Also, butts.

And this is why I FXcking LOVE FX. They do not judge a show's merit simply by looking at the ratings. It is because of this that they will forever have my loyalty. They still need to work on FxX though.
