Is Bored to Death worth the investment? I know the cast is all brilliant and there's a cult following for the show (and I generally like things with smart cult followings) but I heard a lot of very neutral, lukewarm reviews for it during its whole run...

I love it !!

I think, just like with all tv shows, you gotta get "hooked" in some way or form which can or cannot happen due to several reasons. I really like the vibe of the show, the depicted scenery, the cast and humour. For me, when I first viewed some episodes it was late at night/ early in the morning. Perhaps that helps as well, I'm in a different mood then which perhaps fits the show. I'd say just watch a few episodes!

Word. Thanks, man. I shall give it a shot!

Oooh let's talk about tv forever!

Obviously all of the good NBC comedies that have been talked about (BFF forever in my heart)

The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Boy Meets World are the greatest shows no longer on television (aesthetically/situationally/funnily)

I've had to cut down on how much ID I watch because I'm home alone more often and there are currently salesbros in my cool town going around sexually assaulting women.

The only reality tv I watch is Long Island Medium (SHE TALKS TO GHOSTS IS NO ONE FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS) and Tia and Tamera because it's basically just Sister, Sister unscripted.

You guys. You need to start watching The LA Complex.

It's a Canadian show (rumor was that it was originally written as a Degrassi spinoff) about young people trying to "make it" in Los Angeles. They're almost done with the second season now, but Season 1 is available online and is only 6 episodes.

It is the most insane soap opera. Some of the characters include: guy who wants to be a comedian, guy who wants to be a hip-hop producer, girl who wants to be a dancer, washed up actress who used to be on a show like My So-Called Life, actor who just got his break on a Grey's Anatomy type show, and Paul F Tompkins plays a really mean version of himself.

The comedian guy even takes a UCB class halfway through season 1, and I recommend watching that as an example of what NOT to expect in a UCB class.

Please check this show out. It has terrible ratings, but is really worth watching.

oh my god i used to act out golden girls scenes with my barbies when i was like 5 because my babysitter watched it all the time. still love it.

i am still kind of obsessed with degrassi but i just love teen dramas and anything on teen nick. I'll think after like 10 years or something I should be done but then there will be one really great plot with the one character I still love (aka queen ali bhandari) and I can't stop!!!!
