it's always sunny in philadelphia is pretty good imo
but I know a lot of people who *hate* it
much like how I think big bang theory is awful
shows like curb, peep show etc are difficult to watch more than one episode of at a time due to the ridiculous levels of cringeworthiness
its a one liner type of show, either you dig them or not i find... other examples are how I met your mother and that 70's show.
ps: its really all about sheldon, once you're over him you find the other characters pretty funny.
I'm watching the first season of penn & tellers BULLSHIT! Its pretty good so far, exposing con artists etc, but I think it going to go a bit far and start insulting peoples religious views and making assumptions that you're a fuckwit with no brain.
How I met your mother is so much more than a one liner show, same with the first three seasons of That 70's show. They both have more heart, and much better characters than your average commercial sitcom.
I'm watching through P&T's Bullshit too. They use so many questionable techniques, as in they get a few NUTS from the side they're against, so they just look crazy. It's still very watchable though.
Which episode are you talking about them insulting peoples religious views? And just out of interest, why would you feel that it is any different to attacking someones political views, why does religion have a monopoly on people not being able to question what someone believes if they disagree or feel that it's harmful to society?
EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm just asking as I'm curious what your/others opinion is on the matter, I'm not attacking or being overly defensive.

I really disliked How I Met Your Mother as it seemed like a one liner type show to me also - then one time when I was sick for a real long time, I ran out of other stuff to watch and watched it from the beginning. I love it now. You have to know the characters and backgrounds, so many episodes (80%?!) relate back to others in one way or another at some stage, that would make no sense and most likely not be funny in the slightest to someone just watching it randomly.
When I ran out of eps because there were no more made, I really missed them! LOL
BBT is more one liner, you don't really need to know past episodes but it doesn't hurt as you do learn a fair bit about the characters in past episodes, that are relevant to many new episodes, it just really doesn't matter if you don't pick up on it - you don't lose anything. I thought it was a bit stupid until I got to know the characters better, only took a few eps and I was hooked though! I think you either hate it or love it. Takes awhile to warm to other characters than Sheldon, like Badr said.. I am only liking the jew lately. lol the jew.

United States of Tara. Toni Collette is a fantastic actor.
There is a scene at the end where she is sitting on the steps with her sister playing hand games and I just found it really sweet and wished my sister and I still did that.
just way too much of that tara shit and not enough eric! same i'd much rather concentrate on that side of things...jason stackhouse is really irritating me as well

How many eps of the new season of true blood are out as of now??
Is it as tedious as previous seasons (in the sense that some of the story threads are awesome, but others are too dragged out?).
With breaking bad I waited until the season finished, then watched them all together. It was awesome, but True Blood may actually be better to watch week by week.
New episodes of Man v Food.. happy happy!

As always occurred when he quarrelled over principles in which he believed passionately, he would end up gasping furiously for air and blinking back bitter tears of conviction. There were many principles in which Clevinger believed passionately. He was crazy.
"Who's they?" he wanted to know. "Who, specifically, do you think is trying to murder you?"
"Every one of them," Yossarian told him.
"Every one of whom?"
"Every one of whom do you think?"
"I haven't any idea."
"Then how do you know they aren't?"
"Because …" Clevinger sputtered, and turned speechless with frustration.

Yeah only just finished S01 of Mad Men last night, it's pretty good stuff even though I want to go for a ciggy every 2 minutes while watching an episode.
Not in love with the show yet, but will move on with S02 tonight or tomoz.
half way thru breaking bad season 2 - still not really happy with it - may be time to give it up
