I like how Heroes is already getting caught up in its own mistakes after only three seasons.

I totally agree with bychance
and Smallville

Yes Oh SWEET LORD IN HEAVEN YESSSSSSSSSSS

This past weeks episode was ridiculous
with the revealing of the powers and
Clark denying his feelings for Lois
STUPID!

Now that Lana is off the show
they had better get together by the end of this season
its really pissing me off
i just watch now so i can see how it will end

but NOOOOO they just announced a 9th season!
One Tree Hill is dragging out too but Smallville is much worse
The CW needs to learn to let go



9th season? Good lord, isn't it time he moved out of home and got a job in Metropolis or something?

I mean they've really stretched the premis by having everyone know each other and have all these freaky things all happening in the one little middle of no where town.

Oh Ho ho it gets worse
He does work in Metropolis at the Daily Planet with Lois and
supposedly commutes the hours to work everyday. Yeahhhh

He likes Lois and she is in love with him
but just to stretch out the story lines for the fracking 9th season
Clark has been given issues with loving her.

Since the Kryptonian secret could put her in danger
yadda yadda bore bore bore.
Nearly everyone knows Clark's not-so-secret.

At least all his friends and enemies do.
If they are gonna pull this shit I had better see Bruce Wayne and soon

Actually in all fairness if you can fly superfast; fuck it, why not. But still... getting changed at work... bollocks to that. Cheap bastard needs to move out and start renting. What's he saving up for?

Scrubs

Hell yeah.

Never seen American Office, but the Simpsons and Family Guy lack any notable storyline anyway, so there's not much to kill there. Tune in every once in a while for some laughs, and that's it.

I'm still amazed at how messed up Heroes has become. biggrin.gif It's my sole source of laughter in these days, the writers completely forgot about all those side-characters and all those abilities and how they could be combined and what not.

Like when Sylar cut Nathan's neck - why did they make a fuss about that? They got a freaking healer with them, her blood transfusion already saved her foster dad once, so why shouldn't it work on her biological dad? Tssk...

But yeah, those are the thingies that keep me interested. I wanna see how much more they'll mess up.

Oh, and House M.D. still rocks as well. It had its occasional downtimes, but the action picked up pretty fast again. Let's just hope that they won't do a reset at the start of season six.

Heroes. Man, Heroes... The writers are the guys who couldn't make it in comic books, but were still damn good writers. They're showing WHY they couldn't make it in comics. Continuity. They can't write for fans. They can write episodically. And they can think of REALLY cool things. But they couldn't do a long story.

Precisely. But since so much hilarity ensues because of this, I'm led to think that this might indeed be the ultimate method to storytelling.

I don't think Scrubs will survive its next season without JD
i just don't see it happening

The Simpsons have lessened in hilarity
and like Family Guy are going for the cheap laughs and predictability

The Office however is still funny
but it maybe best to put a timeline ending on this show

As for Heroes i gave up on that show in its second season
i could feel the terribleness growing and i wanted no part of it

It helps to get drunk while watching it. Have a few beers with a few friends over, then watch a bunch of badly written and poorly acted characters jumping around and casting special effects into every direction and BAM - hilarity, right at your feet. Or in front of your nose, if you already drank enough to fall down.

The Simpsons reached the height of their popularity in the early 90's, the movie came out way too late. I think Fox would have cancelled the series by now, but are just letting the series wane gradually as to try to save face.

I don't think there is any saving face for the Simpsons at this point.

Hmmm I may actually take that into consideration
drinking to make something better, what a concept!
but that seems like just waste money

i could save my alcohol for a fun time or
waste it on Heroes when i could just change the channel
and watch something actually entertaining
