Julie Bowen hasn't been funny since she was getting tongue raped by Shooter McGavin. Her "humor" is a product of those around her. She's the pretty face who acts flustered by other's comedic exploits.

Hmm, lets see. Happy Gilmore? Straight man. Multiplicity? Straight man. Ed? Straight man. Boston Legal? Straight man. I'm not going to count Lost, because she wasn't in it enough to matter. Modern Family? Straight man.

Its a respectable role. Paul Rudd has made a career out of it. Jeff Daniels made a career out of it with one role. But its not "Paul Rudd/Jeff Daniels/Julie Bowen are soooooo funny." Its "Paul Rudd/Jeff Daniels/Julie Bowen are reacting to someone more talented being soooooo funny." and in the case of Modern Family, that "more talented" moniker goes to everyone except Mitchell and Manny.

9/26/2011 6:02:42 PM

In conclusion, people have strong feelings about Modern Family.

9/26/2011 6:22:23 PM

I think Paul Rudd is funny

9/26/2011 6:31:57 PM

just watched Pan-Am. Not bad, I'll definitely watch the next episode

9/27/2011 10:01:49 PM

^Yea watched it last night. Not OMFG great, but alright. Its on the list to watch, but not stressing if I miss something or fall behind.

9/27/2011 10:06:10 PM

thumbs down on both Pan Am and Playboy Club.

9/28/2011 1:13:09 AM

2 Broke Girls episode two was turrrrible

9/28/2011 8:34:51 AM

^Watched the first episode and was not really interested in seeing anymore.

9/28/2011 9:30:44 AM

not gonna lie, i enjoyed Pan Am


and Suburgatory was actually pretty damn funny. Enjoying Cheryl Hines in that role.

9/29/2011 8:04:16 AM

Up All Night brought me some lulz last night. Maya Rudolph kinda ruins it for me though. Making funny faces does not a funny person make.

[Edited on September 29, 2011 at 10:07 AM. Reason : .]

9/29/2011 10:07:25 AM

yeah, Up All Night may have been the funniest one yet.

9/29/2011 10:34:52 AM

Sunday - Homeland premieres after Dexter, looks interesting enough for a DVR

Wednesday - American Horror Story on FX. FX has had a good run of shows recently so I'm going to give this once a chance

9/29/2011 11:05:06 AM

FX being a good network isn't going to trump Ryan Murphy being a terrible showrunner.

9/29/2011 12:57:27 PM

anyone catch Person of Interest last thursday? thoughts?

The Modern Family episode was great. Claire actually had a purpose. The Jay/Gloria plot was funny. Plenty to like. Hopefully this season starts to pick up instead of teeter off.

And is it just me, or is Alex growing up quite a bit.

A good straight man is more important than a good goof.

9/29/2011 7:20:00 PM

just watched the pilot of person of interest. it was better than expected. that guy is bad to the bone

9/29/2011 7:41:04 PM

Alrighty then, I know there may be a couple new shows that haven't aired yet, but, for the most part, I've pared down my new picks to: American Horror Story, Pan Am, Suburgatory, and Up All Night.

10/1/2011 4:25:22 PM

26 minutes into Pan-Am, and I'm afraid I won't watch again...

So three new shows total that I can tolerate...and two of those may not work out--I haven't even watched American Horror Story yet and I was in a overly positive mood when I watched Suburgatory (LOL).

But let's see what else has yet to air: Alcatraz, Apartment 23, Best Friends Forever, Good Christian Belles, Grimm, Once Upon a Time, and the River.

I'm going to watch all those shows and even the more embarrassing stuff that nobody will mention: Are You There Vodka?, I Hate My Teenage Daughter, Man Up, and Work It.

New premium channel shows that should start soon or now: Homeland, Hell on Wheels, and Enlightened.

10/2/2011 10:43:01 PM

Homeland was frickin' awesome. If you missed it, I definitely reccommend it

10/3/2011 8:37:53 AM

HIMYM sucked tonight, and 2 Broke Girls somehow managed to be even more racist this week.

10/3/2011 11:25:15 PM

^2 Broke Girls was off the list after the pilot. Yuck

10/4/2011 6:02:02 AM

NBC cancels The Playboy Club

Up All Night and Whitney receive full season pick ups.

10/4/2011 1:44:04 PM

^67% of that is good news

10/4/2011 1:49:13 PM

Strike Back has been pretty entertaining. Getting ready to watch Homeland now.

10/4/2011 1:56:03 PM

Whitney is a disaster. She's pretty, but not pretty enough to be hot. She's humorous, but not humorous enough to be funny. The only saving grace is the spaced out boyfriend who was better served as the pedophile from Workaholics. And the laugh track just makes it unbearable.

WHOA YOUR BREATH IS CRAZY BAD

I'm supposed to laugh at that? gtfo

10/4/2011 2:09:42 PM

i feel like 2 Broke Girls is going to get picked up no matter what, but could have really benefited from Whitney's cancellation to allow Cummings to go back to writing for it and making it a much better sitcom. Now they'll both be sub par shows picked up for entire seasons.

10/4/2011 2:21:11 PM

That mob show that Netflix picked up sounds kind of cool, except for the fact that it stars Steven Van Zandt. I always thought he was the most wooden and mannered actor on The Sopranos outside of maybe the kid who played AJ.

10/4/2011 2:57:11 PM

Free Agents will almost certainly get the axe tomorrow.

Also season 2 of Luther premieres on BBC America tonight at 10.

10/5/2011 2:24:43 PM

^the trailer for Lillyhammer was fantastic, I thought. However, I don't have netflix so i'll have to explore other means in order to see it.

10/5/2011 2:31:07 PM

yeah the trailer for Lillyhammer is really good:

10/5/2011 2:37:09 PM

I'm actually a little sad that The Playboy Club got canned. It was rather interesting, though being right after The Sing Off did it no favors. I certainly thought it was at least twice as good as Revenge. I did not give that show a second episode. (Those are the only new shows I've seen so far).

10/5/2011 8:58:50 PM

^I thought Playboy club was kind of intriguing as well. They axed it so early, I guess they just decided they had had enough with all of the controversy over the show. (Although I don't really know why because it wasn't any more racy than other shows on tv)

10/5/2011 9:04:46 PM

^^^^^ Luther premiered last week. Tonight is the second part to the first episode.

10/5/2011 9:25:52 PM

^ahh ok...I've already watched the whole second season, there are some cool episodes but it's not nearly as engaging as the first season.

They cancelled it because of ratings, pure and simple.

10/6/2011 12:55:18 PM

I started watching Suburgatory last night & it's alright. It got a couple of laughs out of me. Will watch again.

10/6/2011 1:10:22 PM

As I predicted yesterday NBC cancelled Free Agents.

Oh and Strike Back got picked up for a second season.

i love Suburgatory and it fits in great with ABC's wednesday night lineup. They need Cougar Town back on to bookend those three as they fit so well together.

10/6/2011 2:24:58 PM

Modern Family knocked it out of the park this week.

Jokes on jokes on jokes.

10/6/2011 3:10:03 PM

Negative, that was a mediocre Modern Family episode at best.

Charlie's Angels will probably get the axe today, and Community is definitely in trouble.

10/7/2011 12:14:38 PM

So Pan Am is likely dead, and will be replaced by Good Christian Bitches (ugh).
