*The Simpsons Season 23 - A great Treehouse of Horrors episode featuring a whole segment involving fart-communication, followed by an unfortunate guest star episode that went nowhere.
*Seinfeld Seasons 8 and 9 - They go way over the top in the last couple seasons, and some episodes are really amazing - the Little Kicks, the Merv Griffin Show, Serenity Now, and the Strike.
*Project Runway Season 9 - Super disappointing - you started to get the feeling that even the judges were unhappy with their final 4 - they gave them extra money at the last minute in the hopes it could come together. Too bad it didn't, they didn't even manage to pick a winner who could make some sleeves.
*Parks & Recreation - Season 4 - I enjoyed the spoof on the scouts, and Ron's flutes for the end of the world were pretty fun, too. I've given up on the Office for now.
*Hung - First disc of Season 2 - I worried the gimmicky plot would start to wear thin in the second season, but it's still pretty good.
*Northern Exposure - Season 1 - A friend recommended I visit this quirky little town in Alaska with a dedicated cult following. It's enjoyable, if a tad dated.
*The Good Wife - I usually avoid lawyer shows, but people kept recommending this show to me, and it's more intricate and interesting than I expected.
*New Girl - I gave this show a short whirl just to see what everyone's favorite former vegan is up to. Zooey Deschanel plays a heartbroken, nutty science teacher who moves in with a bunch of weak-actor guys. Zooey's character is a less believable version of Tina Fey in 30 Rock (when is that coming back, anyway? soon?) - it's just too hard to believe that Zooey's an unattractive dork who can't get laid.
*2 Broke Girls - A sassy cupcake maker/waitress along with her roommate/partner foil and a horse (I must have missed the episode where they explained that one) struggling to make ends meet in Brooklyn, makes for some pretty clever and funny t.v. These days, who couldn't use a chuckle at the expense of the recession?
*Terra Nova - I watched approximately 2 minutes of this Jurassic Park t.v. show. Someone went way over budget on the special effects and sappiness and forgot to hire actors and writers.
I'm off in a couple weeks to the "diet version of Australia, New Zealand" in the words of Stephen Colbert, so my next post may not be until the winter doldrums set in and after some adventures.
