Finally started watching Flash recently, and DC continues to impress me. It's vastly different in terms of tone and style (lighthearted and comedic instead of grim and serious), which is a big breath of fresh air in my opinion. Also, it's a nice change of pace to see a hero who's pretty much completely out of his element as a superhero, with little to no actual combat training, just his power. I'm sort of concerned about how the show is going to handle being intertwined with Arrow, even if it's only a little bit. I imagine that there will be people who just watch one or the other, or just marathon them all the way through without going back and forth to keep up with the occasional crossovers and references.

Bojack Horseman, Gravity Falls, Rick and Morty, and True Detective are all pretty good.

People keep telling me to give Bojack another try but the first season was just awful. Is it actually better, or is there just more of it?

Are you watching it solely as a comedy?  Not to say it's not funny, but there is a lot of pathos.  He wants to be a good person, but has trouble getting there.  I'd say give it a try.

Started to get back into trailer park boys, and managed to get a friend into it as well, which I'm thrilled about. Also have finally been checking out The X-Files and have been really enjoying seeing the series come into its own. Watched the first two eps of rick and morty and want to watch more but I promised a friend I'd hold off on watching it so we can watch it together (she loves the series and wants to rewatch the first season with me).

The X-Files is probably one of the most consistently entertaining shows with as many seasons as it has. When it's good it's good, and when it's bad it can still be really entertaining

Been watching a bunch of Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen, and I have to say, CK has been getting increasingly ridiculous and slapstick and less and less about cooking, which is a huge shame in my opinion, since the small sabotages are much more interesting than someone having to prep everything in a hat while holding an apple in their mouths or whatever the fuck they come up with next. Or at least limit the sabotages to ones that affect the cooking process and not just physically limiting the chefs.

Chopped is always fun to watch to some extent, even if it is somewhat repetitive. But I actually like that they sometimes have themes to the episodes so it isn't just the same every time

my favourite food shows are Iron Chef America for Serious Cooking Television and Food Network Canada's really pleasant and nice You Gotta Eat Here, which is basically if Diners, Drive-ins and Dives was hosted by your second-grade math teacher and focused on Canadian comfort food instead. Good Eats was also excellent, and there's a page online with links to the back episodes.

agree that Cutthroat Kitchen is pretty gimmicky of late but i mean that's what seems to be working for the edits so i can't blame them. we get Chopped: Canada here which I'm always content to have on in the background if I'm cooking or sewing or whatever, agree on that front.

John Noble is amazing.   He's going to be in Elementary this season as well as the world's worst dad.  Again.
