It's the true number one show on television. Some of the network shows may have more people (and less and less that is the case), but the purity of the demos has to make this show the most coveted show for advertisers, and there probably are ad rates to match. It's funny HBO and NBC passed on it because it was deemed too violent. Apparently it was too violent for nobody but them.

Now this is something the democrats will be kicking themselves for for 20 yeas. They ignored the state level races and even the lower level races and ceded so many statehouses and legislatures to the republicans. Gerrymandering isn't right but both parties do it, and there is no one to tell them no. At this point in manu of these states there is no more democratic party to speak of, with supermajorities of republicans sometimes in both houses. This is I think what will be one of main chapters of political textbooks 100 years from now. The story of these years is not Obama meeting the most insane congress ever, but how the congress was rigged to produce the most insane congress ever.

I liked the show and love the store raid scene and the way they had zombies practically falling from the sky. The scene with Rick and the woman was a highlight because there was this unnerving tension about it. For while I thought we were meeting the first intelligent walker. Too many newbies and the only one that I thought was good they killed off. I am still not sold on last year's newbies and now we have more. Michonne has better writing this year, not displaying attitude just for the sake of it so she can stay, but the big guy and his...sister?...they still have not done one thing of note on the show and this is their second season. I am not sure why the show added them. Of course, I have no idea why the show kept around Carol since the first year, or the Beth the sister who has been on two years as a glorified extra. Anyway, a well directed episode doing a great job with the action sequences and the tension sequences, and the nice bit with the headphones drowning out the walkers, but they lose a point for having an army of newbies. Hopefully they wlll kill them all off.

For me, the most powerful moment was Finn's mother. I love they gave such a peripheral character the meat and potatoes here. And Coach Biest as always was a standout.

I didn't realize this show started up again but caught the first two episodes online. Once again it is the NY half of the show that is where the good is and the high school half where the blah is. Blaine's proposal was very nice I guess, but eh, so what. Meanwhile, in NY things are moving along as we are watching a new side to Santana and the completely unrealistic but charming success story of Rachel. Musically, the show two episodes in is relying a little too much on Darren Criss, but he is still better than his co-stars so I guess they have to. You listen to Puck Jr and he has great dance moves but he isn't really the singer needed to front these songs. Not sure any of the Beatles performances were stand out, but Hey Jude seemed decent as did All You Need Is Love. The Tina episode was ok, but I am sort of tired of Artie and my eyes glaze when he gets the spotlight. New evil cheerio looks 12. Sam was endearing with his crush on new nurse, they might work out.

What? The media loves Cory Booker and they anointed him a star seemingly years ago. I don't pay attention to that race because he will just have to run again a year from now, but from what I read he is not running the best campaign, he is rumored to be gay and doesn't want to admit it, and he probably needs a little more experience running a campaign. His star power is what will win it, but from recent reports his no-name opposition is closing the gap. NJ is a messed up state and it doesn't make a difference what party they pick from, they usually pick a crook or some other deeply flawed candidate. Chris Christie may be a big mouthed blowhard but he knows how to please the people. It's funny, the conservatives shun Chris Christie as not being a real republican, and he is the one with a 70% approval rating. You would think the republicans would look at Christie, look at their star Senators and decide it was time to change course, but no.

Weiner is too stupid to be mayor. Anyone who would vote for him needs their head examined. Hillary is supposed to summon him and tell him he has to leave Huma or they will go all Vince Foster on his ass.

I am all for stop and frisk. I have no scientific data as to why, but NY is the safest it has been in my lifetime with crime levels you have to go back to the early 1960s to find. What works works. Removing stop and frisk is fine as long as the people removing it agree that if removing beckons in a rise in crime then the only logical recourse is to reinstate it. People can knock Bloomberg all they want but if anyone knows of a safer city per capita than NY I would be interested to know where that is.

They won't get the blame except from tea partiers who would blame them anyway. This whole thing might be a good thing because it is bringing to light the split in the republican party and we are seeing other republicans actually speaking publicly about these tea party maniacs and their naive theories on how to govern. The only one who will kill the republican party is the republican party, and all anyone else has to do it sit back and let conservatives go about their insane, merry way. It might take 10 years, perhaps 20, but eventually the zealots are going to push everyone out of the party until there is no party anymore. Max, I agree that liberals do not love Hillary Clinton. The Clintons are not true believers. They are liberal, they do fight on the side of liberals, but they do so because it coincidentally aligns with what is good for them. That said, I would vote Bill in for life because he is just that smart and good, and voting for Hillary means backdooring Bill back into power so she has my vote. Plus, she is smart and clever, and both Clintons can out hustle the republicans.

Perhaps Kirkman wasn't ready to do it. He has another show coming based on one of his comics "Thief Of Thieves" as well.

I will be sorry to see Bloomberg go. He had a huge impact on this city and all the complaints that he has a mommy complex are true, but on every one of his issues he turns out to be right. The average lifespan in NYC has risen during his term. If that isn't the bottomest of bottom lines I don't know what it.

which shows the narrow mindedness of conservatives. "He's a jew from NY...!@#$%^&*] him." Meanwhile the NYers see Bill Clinton and love him. They see Bloomberg and go into that "I don't want these New Yorkers telling me what to do!" bullshit. Bloomberg is the perfect spokesman, its just prejudiced conservatives and their unamerican "real american" bullshit don't want to listen.

Obama's speech was terrible, as are so many of his speeches. "We have to send a limited response to discourage the use of chemical weapons". Yeah, that sounds like a rousing speech FDR or Churchill would have given... I will never understand how he got this rep as a great orator. His speaking style is like a limp fish, he has no passion in anything he says, and he just blabs away in this monotone delivery.

I listened to that in another tab so I could not see whose themes were playing. The only ones I got right off the bat were Sammy Jo, Claudia's insane theme, and La Mirage. The Steven theme I recognized but didn't make the connection, and Krystal theme was really just the Dynasty theme,

Season 4 was Fallon and her race horse, right? It is amazing that the show survived such a bad season but frankly the show never returns to its former glory. I don't remember what Kirby's story was, something about swollen hands? And nothing about Blake and Krystal comes to mind and they were the supposed stars of the show.

Hey you! That was very cool but I guess since they edited it out that that means this aspect to Pycelle may not be official canon and he may in fact be an old feeble man. The actor is pretty cool the way he transforms himself like that.

Travis was injured... Is this when he hired Nicolas Coster and some other guy to kidnap Bianca or something, only they really did? Something like that happened.

Here they are together in younger days

Thanks for these. There is so little on YT from this period with David and Lainey, it was interesting to see them again. Ditto for Skye.

And then there is Diana Rigg. She;s great and he has always been great, but just because she is the most famous actor on the show doesn't mean she deserves an emmy more than the woman who plays Cat but who nobody knows what her name is, or the woman who plays the Red Witch or whoever. What did she do that was better than what the girl who plays Arya did?

The emmy voters are so preidictable. Peter Dinkilage is fine, but he is not the only actor on the show. They keep nominating him because it is the thing to do but Charles Dance deserves the nomination far more. And I would say Nikolaj Coster-Waldau did better work this year, as did many others who just never got press.

Adam Lambert to Glee. I think this is a bad career move as he is a popstar who is famous without ever having a real hit. Glee hit his credibility as a musician of substance. on another note, I found this online and it is as charming as ever Darren Criss & Kermit the Frog by gleehabsite

What a joke that on a show called "The Voice" Cher is lip synching and computer effected. That was great? That was crap. Lets hear her sing unassisted and then we can tell if she is still great or not.
