Battlestar Galactica – Season 3

Still on season 3, it was all I could do to not stop watching, the occupation thing on New Caprica was a slog. I will not get into the political aspects of it, which I assume there are since what was going on when the show came out. It did improve once they got off the planet, but now it is sinking again. I will give the show writers credit for making pretty much every single character unlikeable, it is rare to see that in a show.

Scrubs Season 2

Overall, season 2 is amazing, it does go off on a few tangents that did not age well or were just not that good. Tasty Coma Wife being one. The first episode was the Colin Hay one, wow, just an amazing episode.

Fresh off the Boat Season 2

Overall, season 1 was very strong. Season 2 is starting to lose steam. I am not sure why, but the focus is changing from the oldest son to the rest of the family. I am almost through season 2 and it is slumping, it is still funny, but not nearly as clever as it was when it started.

Battlestar Galactica – Season 3

Finally finished season 2, it did get better the second half and ended strong, however, it is not as good as how season 1 ended.

The Bear Season 3

Finished The Bear and it was, a lot of filler. I read that Christopher Storer wanted to do 3 seasons and not 4, it shows. Just a lot of nothing and the end, nothing really happened. You are kept in the dark, were the newspaper headlines fake, some or all of them. It is just silly, I am not going to rewatch and look for clues to figure out what was true and what was not. Also, the use of time skips was not a great idea, they make sense in small doses, but it was just constant and boring.

Scrubs Season 1

Pick the best sitcom of the early 2000’s, it is Scrubs, hands down, it was the best. The last episode is a 2 parter with Brendon Frazier and it a brillant piece of writing. Frazier other appearence in a later season is a Master Class on how to write a sitcom script.

Fresh off the Boat Season 1

It is a funny show, at least the early seasons were, so far season 1 has been pretty good, with the exception of the episode when the family from DC comes down to visit, that is just a painful episode. The other episdoes are good, I am about 1/2 way through season 1 and it is starting to find its footing.

Battlestar Galactica – Season 2

Season 2 started very strong, then we had several episodes that were just terrible, it took me days to get through the Black Market episode. The next one with hostages in a bar, that one was actually worse than the previous episode. Then the one with John Hurt, there is a reason that you do not promote someone who has only been in engineering, they make terrible captains.

When Sharon finally had her baby, the series has picked up, thought that episode was not good either.

The Bear Season 3

So far, and I am 2 or 3 episodes in, the show has not been great. Why is it classifed as a comedy? It is not funny, it is mainly this season people yelling at each other, the dumb part is that if they are that loud, you know the people eating and pay a small fortune for the food can hear it also. I have eaten at expensive places like that, I would leave.
