One blogger's earlier favorite category was "Marriage and Family." Love the drama. But since she has never been married, she felt like a fraud and switched to TV.<br /><br />We remember Kelly123.

Now that I know that posts h...Dear Ern and Leeard, <br />Now that I know that posts have the potential to wake you up I'll make sure my all-nighters don't interfere with your sleep! <br />that said, you make very good points- <br /><br />first of all- I completely retract my ill consider suggestion that you don't like violent TV- clearly I was a little sleepy...<br /><br />secondly, I'm relieved to know that you appreciated season 1 of Prison Break. You are right, the following seasons were never as good as the first. If i remember correctly,the show was originally conceived of as a 13 episode miniseries, its popularity caused it to be extent for 4 seasons. the show still has some great moments here and there. I watched the whole series in big consecutive chunks and when I look back on the series as a whole I think it was excellent story telling. There was an almost organic development form a simple focused story into the conspiracy plot suggested in the first season and resolved in the last season. And what what really made me appreciate the bigger story telling arc was the ending devised for Micheal's character, which seemed just right to me.<br /><br />I liked sarah paulson on Studio 60, but I've read other reviews with the same complaint. I too will watch anything on netflix streaming, and was very happy when they recently added Studio 60 and Veronica Mars!<br /><br />Jack and Bobby, ok, admittedly this is not as great a show as the others, I consider it a little netflix gem since that's where I found it. I kinda stuck it in there just anyone hadn't discovered it yet, because I think its worth seeing. as for Undeclared I just get a kick out of seeing all these actors together and so young, particularly Charlie Hunnam since I'm a big SOA fan... <br /><br />thanks for responding!<br /> ..and if you ever find Now and Again let me know!<br /><br />-Hatts8 (aka Kelly123 on Y!answers)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-13262996621132053252010-09-23T07:04:56.394-07:002010-09-23T07:04:56.394-07:00This is the other blogger:

This blogger was going to sleep in for another hour, but the smartphone kept emailing your comments. <br /><br />You have gotten both of us out of bed because this blogger had to add onto the other blogger's comment to defend our violence-watching honor. Dexter, 24, Rome, LOST, Deadwood, Dollhouse, Alias, Pillars of the Earth, Heroes, Harpers Island, The Unusuals, Fringe, and Southland are pretty violent. Guys read this blog. We have to let them know that's alright :)<br /><br />There just seem to BE more girly shows on TV lately.<br /><br />About Prison Break- We watched this show for one season, but then it just seemed to run out of story. By that time, most people were hooked by the excellent first season, but we have no trouble dropping shows once they start to decline in quality. This was also the case with Heroes and Desperate Houseives. It's like when you get your first, perfect child, but the next one comes out looking like voldemort. Thanks, but no thanks. Unless PB got better again. Did it get better again?<br /><br />Ern may give Studio 60 another shot, mostly because it's not on Instant Netflix. Ern will watch anything if they put it on Instant Netflix, even The Hannah Montana Movie. Oh wait...that actually happened/Ern watched it.<br /><br />Jack and Bobby and Undeclared and Now and Again:<br />Ern hasn't seen those. Thanks for the recommendations. We at least have to check out Undeclared for sure. Now we have something to watch/catch up on during the mostly barren summers of our lives. If we can find Now and Again. Just looked and, you're right, it's probably impossible to locate.<br /><br />You know, we enjoyed PB enough to put it on the old list. At least first season. Good reminder. <br /><br />Note to Leeard: you have fewer show than I do. You can put PB on your list. As you can see, I am a nice person, so I gave you Wonderfalls.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-80365702391723605792010-09-23T06:47:53.895-07:002010-09-23T06:47:53.895-07:00We actually agree with you on the first season of ...We actually agree with you on the first season of Prison Break. That was gripping, don't miss television that almost constantly surprised one of us. We'll probably add that to one of the lists.<br /><br />Studio 60 had ALMOST perfect casting. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford are amazing, but Sarah Paulson shouldn't have been there. It had the potential to be must see tv (Aaron Sorkin is pretty genius), but unfortunately neither of us enjoyed it.<br /><br />Leeard tried to get into Jack and Bobby, but she thought it was a much better concept than execution.<br /><br />We were a bit too young to appreciate Undeclared when it first aired, but we will definitely check it out when we have the time. All of those amazing actors (plus Judd Apatow) in one television show sounds like a great combination.<br /><br />We've actually never seen Now and Again, but it does remind one of us of a show that she used to love - Once and Again.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621784714002726363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-25265187694405636472010-09-23T04:26:19.008-07:002010-09-23T04:26:19.008-07:00here's why-

But the best thing about studio 60 was Perry playing Matt Albie- perfect casting, I cold have watched for 2 more years...<br /><br />Jack and Bobby- written by Sorkin's co-hort and the director of M. Perry's newest show Thomas Shlcm. Jack and Bobby had the feel of The West Wing meets My So-called Life meets Gilmore Girls, I think you'd like it<br /><br />Undeclared- Judd Apatow ,Jay Baruchel, Carla Gallo, Charlie Hunnam, Seth Rogen, Jason Segal- all in one show? need I say more? how about guest spots for-Jenna Fisher, Tom Welling, Simon Helberg, Adam Sandler, Amy Poehler, Busy Phillips, Felicia Fay, Will Ferrel, Ted Nugent, Martin Starr and Ben Stiller- all in 18 episodes?!<br /><br />and Now and Again- I can't find full episodes of this short lived CBS hit anywhere online, but I do remember loving in when I was 13.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-89052025065426881082010-09-23T02:50:41.860-07:002010-09-23T02:50:41.860-07:00this comment belongs to the old/canceled shows lis...this comment belongs to the old/canceled shows list, I'm sticking it here because I don't know where else to put it-<br />these are a handful of my very favorite old shows that didn't make either or your lists-<br /><br /> prison break, now and again, Studio 60 on sunset strip, jack and bobby, undeclared<br /><br />-Hatts8Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
