Is it? I thought it lost it's way years ago and I haven't ever gone back to it. I just saw it as another one of those CSI-y type rip-offs. The last one I remember watching was when they were quarantined inside the lab, I think it was a Christmas ep.
Ok, I'm all caught up with Community now. It certainly had a couple of odd episodes but as a whole I can see why people rave about it, I hope it doesn't get cancelled.
One of the reasons Troy is my favourite character (the model UN ep):

So I've started watching Shameless US. Its watchable, certainly, but not a patch on the UK one. I'm not totally convinced it translates all that well over the Pond. William H Macy is a decent enough actor, but his version of Frank is like the Disney version of David Threlfall's. Macy's character doesn't have the slurred speech for starters and is altogether too clean-looking. Threlfall's Frank is a proper alcoholic; Macy's character lacks the whole pisshead thing and just comes across as a bum. The whole "pint and a couple of E's please, Karen" is a glaring omission for all die-hard Frank fans.

First 2 eps of series 2 of Game of Thrones were ace. Looking forward to more.
Something that made me chuckle is that there is no "Previously on..." intro at the start. Basically, pay attention or fuck off

Final Series of Eureka starts next week
Looking forward to it but not entirely surprised it will be ending. No sign of a date for Warehouse 13 though :/

There was also talk of a HG Wells spin-off, but no new news since january...
I remember hearing that and it did sound like a good idea for a spin-off.

Yeah I hate that "Previously on..." nonsense. Might as well end each episode with "....was brought to you buy the letters Z and P"... It comes to something when they actually have to show whats happening in the plot in Shameless with a big computer FX arrow and some writing explaining this is the superman cape....talk about dumbed down. And they say Americans are intellectually and culturally advanced...

It's one thing that drove me up the wall about Burn Notice. It wasn't just a "previously on..."; they wasted the best part of a minute at the start of every episode explaining why the show existed, basically. And then I think they did a "previously on..." on top of that.
