The Walking Dead

That may be. My comment was more reflective of the Honor Students I have known. Your adorable mix may still be more worthy in a Darwinian sense, although that trip to the vet may have set back her chances to advance the 'ol DNA.

To your point, I find Shelties were a little overbred and they did get kind of neurotically yippy. Maybe the sheltie is dumbing down the border collie. I know a border collie that can differentiate between objects and fetch the one you ask for. I knew another long ago that actually herded the small children in a family, keeping them safe in the yard. And the working border collies blend instinct, training, and imitation of other dogs to the point that they can bring a particular sheep or a particular number of sheep to a farmer from several hundred yards away by responding to whistled commands.

What it is is that I harbor a little streak of non-conformity that makes me delight in making fun of people that decorate their cars with the news that their child is an honor student or little mini picture of me, the missus, and the kids.

You'll be happy to know that before I got her, my girl had had a puppy, so the DNA carries on! I had to drop her out of the visiting dog program because she kept getting nippy with the other dogs. Too bad because the little attention hound was perfect for the role with the humans. I could never have a pure border collie, because I don't have a job for it and they need jobs. FYI, my car carries no evidence of my honor student's status, nor are there little people on my car because we couldn't find one that showed a raving football fan mom and a STEM geek kid who likes Mario and programming in Scratch.

Thats a tough one. Walking Dead is near the top. I think Southland has better writing and acting, and while I watch it, I just don't find police dramas that engrossing. On the flip side, I know Top Chef isn't as "good" of a show, but I like it better than Walking Dead. I still think Justified still has an edge on the rest despite the writing and plot dropping off a bit from the first season. Same with Archer. Hard to keep that comedic edge without becoming stale. There might be a couple others I'm forgetting right now because they just aren't on.

I just hope Walking Dead pulls back and stops following the 2-3 characters so closely at the expense of the rest, especially since everyone's just sitting there slack jawed with their thumb up their ass. You would think that black guy was dead for how much air time he's got this season. And crossbow guy is infinitely more interesting than the whole baby drama. Glenn got his moment, but then they took the typical "can't allow anyone to find happiness in a good drama" path and made him look like a dick without fleshing out his character enough to allow sympathy.

I like the first half of Justified Season one...then I got bored. Sons of Anarchy is pretty good.
I know what you mean about the show following a couple characters. The black guy (he's never on so i don't remember his name) makes appearances here and there. Darryl (crossbow guy) is very interesting and I have a feeling we'll see alot of him next season. The reason I believe that is I think his brother will be with the group of 30 guys that raped those two girls. Season three should be good.

This season is a little slow at times...but when it's good....it's GOOD! So what do you think is the best show on right now?

[Brando19]

I've tried watching that show....but it's just too weird! I usually like weird shows, but I just can't get into that one.

We watch the Walking Dead, but I am waiting for it to get better and I am fighting back disappointment.

Justified is soo much better, and I won't even piss all over it like Skinbasket just did to make myself sound smart about tv writing.
Archer is funny, but it is a difficult show because your supposed to laugh over and over again at the same jokes. Sort of like the Simpsons.
Otherwise all I seem to watch is sports or reality tv.

Did you watch tonight's episode? Because it kicked ass!!!!!!

[Guiness]

no, and thanks for no spoiler here Brando!

Good call on Merle being with the group of 30 guys running around creating havoc. I bet you're right.

No problem, Guiness. I don't want to spoil it for those that didn't watch it yet. But I will say this...it's the most shocking episode to date. I think next season will revolve around a conflict between Merle and Darryl (if I'm right about Merle still being alive.)

Nigga pleeze!

What made the show so goddamn charming was the duality of Raylan's happy-go-lucky nature and his deadly disposition. Then they got the woman involved and he got all mopey and sad. Now he's just kind of confused and angry. It's still probably the best show despite that, but I liked the original character build better. I suppose that's what happens when you start extrapolating from the source material because your short story turned into a multi-season hit show and you get a bunch of fudge packing Hollywood homos writing 40 different plot maps that the director's got to deal with while the producer keeps adding his two cents like anyone gives a shit.

Also, American Horror Story is watchable despite that fuckface McDermont guy and his tendency to overact taking a piss. The maid makes up for it. I hope they keep making her go into seduction mode, otherwise I'll start playing bejewelled while the show's on. My wife likes it more than I do. I'm guessing it's the rubber suit scenes.

I havent watched American Horror Story but would like me to check it out. As for Walking Dead, I am a fan and hope all of you turn into zombies so I can go to WI and put you out of your gut chewing misery.

Other than SB's critique snootiness bordering on gay I like that prediction about Merle also. I havent seen last nights yet so dont say shit.

Sorry I found fault with a television show and it hurt your feelings.

Finally something we can agree on, SB's borderline gay tendencies

I won't say anything...but you NEED to watch it! It's crazy good!

[Deputy Nutz]

It was good, I just can't stand it when the main character is an emotional pussy. He should have killed his friend a long time ago after finding out he was sleeping with his wife.

[SkinBasket]

If this hoard isn't being used as a fodder herding tactic of the other gang, I'm going to need some explanation of why they all just happened to be hanging out there. And I agree with nutz. So I guess that makes him gay too.

One question though: Was Shane turning into a zombie before he was killed, or was he just acting wacky because he's a dick?
