Love it. The Office: Jim. Sigh. That's all. :) Supernatural: I'm not a huge fan of the Apocalypse story line but I really liked last weeks episode when Dean went to the future, I thought that was good. But I also like the monster of the week set up. I could never give up on the Winchester boys. No matter how whiny they may get.

True, I don't think any of the episodes have been as funny as the pilot so far, but there's a lot that makes me laugh. And what about Parks and Recreation? I swear that show is better this year than last, and each episode gets funnier. And it's not just my Amy Poehler fangirl self speaking, I swear! Last week's episode with the pageant had me crying I was laughing so hard, and this week's awkward awesome drunkenness before her first date just had me howling. In fact, I think I'm going to hulu that right now... Oh, I love Community. True, I don’t think any of the episodes have been as funny as the pilot so far, but there’s a lot that makes me laugh.

I hope we get to watch the same romantic tension between Andy and the new receptionist. You know what other show I love? New Adventures of Old Christine. SO FUNNY! The Office was perfect!

Especially if he was going around introducing one of them as Checkers. *shudders* Even knowing Dexter most likely won't be revealed as a serial killer (after all, his name is the series title and it probably wouldn't be a very interesting show if he were caught), I still can't help but get very nervous anytime there is an episode like that one where there is cause to fear he will be revealed.

Sam...he is driving me insane with his whining and Dean, he was going the same way. I am not a fan of the Iam the Vessel! I am the Sword! storyline either. :roll: :-) Amy…I was this close from giving up on Supernatural before this week’s episode.

Really? I also loved this week's episode minus the minutes Paris Hilton was in it. In regards to FlashForward...you've hit the nail on the head! The characters are so blah (and a waste of some great actors)!!! Everything is taken just a bit too seriously. I really thought it had a lot of promise but we'll see. By the way the book is TOTALLY different. They flash 20 years into the future making all the implications of the flashes much different. Giving up on Supernatural? Really?

(most of the blogs I follow write about the Vampire Diaries when they write about TV) I agree 100% it was the perfect Jim and Pam episode, and such a wonderful wedding, I definitely cried like a baby while watching it!

The Closer: It's always much the same, for a moment I even thought they were rerunning last weeks episode, but I love that show no less. All the characters are extremly charming and they don't try to go for a gross-out factor like some other crime shows do these days. It's great TV-entertainment. Torchwood:
