I mean, they did a whole episode around the Johnny Karate Show. And the finale was handled very well. Personally, I think it was a drag when Rashida & Rob Lowe were about to leave.
My girl is a HUGE fan of the show and she sent me this link of the best recurring jokes from the show.

Into fresh territory with not to distant future.
They even managed to round out Ron. Ron Swanson was a movement but he wasn't a rounded man. They allowed you to really see him and how his wheels turned. It was a great payoff for one of the best characters in recent tv landscape.
I think being able to see more Retta is a GREAT thing to me, so losing Ann wasn't a huge hit in my book. I liked what the show became, and I Leslie Knope will always be funny to me.
They've handled everything with great taste. That extend treat yourself shit man listen.
There are so many great sight gags in this how that just add texture to pawnee.
3. "My Regular Rotation:" In response to Reply # 0
HBO: *Girls: meh; It was never my kind of 'good', but now it's becoming intolerable. I hope this is the last season, but it'll probably go 2 more knowing HBO.
*Togetherness: I love it but hate it. I'm rooting for the fat guy only at this point. The other 3 main characters, I want to drop anvils on all their heads.
SHO: Took the week off for the Oscars, I guess. But all 3 shows been great so far.
MAX:
Banshee: Guiltiest of pleasures, but I'm locked in. That last ep was one of the best action sequences I've ever seen on TV.
Other Cable:
Walking Dead: I'm still holding on. This half season been way better than the last 1.5, IMO.
Better Call Saul: I like it, but don't love it so far. I may wait on this one and watch a bunch on demand later on.
Justified: Deserves it's own post
Suits: good season so far.
Sirens: Funny as shit, but nobody's talking about it.
Gotcha! Showtime has impressed me. I got hip to Shameless and House of Lies a year ago. I watched the first two or three seasons of Shameless over the course of two weeks so that I could be hip to what was going on last season. Someone told my lady about it. We've been hooked since.
House of Lies got me watching when I noticed an ad with Cheadle in it. Never knew SHO was dong such good work. I stuck to HBO prior to catching these. I may need to peep Episodes now.

I would have to agree now especially considering the fact that Boardwalk Empire and Newsroom are off the air for good.
I have heard the Masters of Sex series is pretty damned good as well. I've got that set aside to catch up on soon. Need to watch em though before they get three seasons deep.

I found it to be the funniest episode of all. Andre was snappin like shit. And taking the higher ground was not the smartest move especially cuz he got punched in the ear as a result. He should have finished the main kid that was bullying him.

only in the face. That shit had me dying.
And Dre's and Charlie's snapping on the white cat in the conf room was crazy too. He had me rolling when he went in on Mr. Stevens. Boss Man shut that shit down quickly.

the subject of how much HBO sucks now.
They have had a really poor (IMO) string of shows the past 2-3 yrs.
I'm guessing it's a money thing, but the area where they used to DOMINATE Showtime - the 1 hour drama - is pretty weak now.
Don't even get me started on the sitcoms/dramedies. They cancelled Bored to Death after 2 seasons, but is gonna let Girls run what's looking like 6 seasons? Why?
They're kinda becoming the Fox of pay cable. Cancelling all the good shit way too early and green-lighting shit that probably shouldn't go beyond the pilot.
And if I see one more gotdamn Jaime/Summer Heights High/ Angry Boys bullshit ass show, I may cancel my subscription.
Sitcoms: New Girl Mindy FOB Blackish Behind on Modern Transparent Its always sunny has been excellent this season.
I'm really waiting on playing house to come back.
Drama: Stalker has been really good and surprising I think people are missing a really good show there.
Madmen about to come back Game of Thrones about to come back, young I can't wait. I've realized this might be the only thing i watch on HBO these days other than their documentary series because the shows don't always grab me.
I've been catching up on Orphan Black. If you're not watching Tatiana Maslany, then dog I can't help you. She is putting in the most work of any Actress week to week. This is not debatable. She's absolutely killing everything.

33. "New UK show: Cucumber (from writer of Queer as Folk)" In response to Reply # 0
comedy-drama about a middle aged, interracial gay couple going through a relationship breakdown, and all the people in their lives. So. Fucking. Hilarious!
Plus it's got a side-show, called Banana, about/from the perspective of some of the more minor characters in Cucumber, and a side documentary series, called Tofu, about sexuality in general.
I need to catch up on Girls, Broad City, Black-ish & FOB. Is anyone still watching L&HH?

Im so sad that HTGAWM is now on hiatus until next season. Tonights episode just blew me away.
Loving Scandal still. I'm glad that Olivia is mad at the Prez for being pussywhipped into going to war.
I love Empire...though i kinda hate it too...only because its on Fox and it seems that dude who writes it needs therapy. I love Lee Daniels and I wish him nothing but the best out of life. But if that trash can incident really happened to you. You need therapy!!!! Every black man does not hate his son for being gay.
Since these are the only shows I'm allowed to watch...due to most of my days being spent watching kid shows, these are the only shows I can talk about.
Oh, but I'm about to add House of Cards to the rotation. And, I will just have to dvr Single Ladies when it comes back on next month. But, the munchkin will be put to bed when Game of Thrones comes back on my television.
One more thing...if you don't have the El Rey Network...you are missing out. It is the shit just because of the constant rotation of Shaw Brothers movies.
