    I'm surprised you watch that. I figured you would be grossed out by the fat people.

      My wife watches this show, I watched the first couple episodes. As far as a I can tell every single plot line involving the hefty woman centers around her weight -- trying to lose weight, when she was big as a girl and the challenges that posed with her normal sized mom, falling back on bad eating habits, etc. No normal plots for the poor fat chick.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        to be fair, she doesn’t get any normal breaths, steps, or sleep either

          My wife also watches that show. I saw one episode and was bored. I like dramas but that thing is like drama on steroids.

          I came home last night to MJ watching a unabomber show. It looked interesting but she’s already a ways into it I think so I didn’t get it all. Seems interesting though.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            Exactly. I saw a couple of episodes. It has an interesting story. But the drama is pretty thick and exhausting.

              We watch this one together too, though we’re only on episode 2 of this season. I don’t care if everyone here thinks it’s overwrought, I enjoy it and thought it was one of last year’s stronger shows; evidence that network tv doesn’t have to suck. All that being said, I am confident that the network will find a way to screw it up eventually.

                Probably by stretching it out for 7 seasons with 22 episodes per season.
                Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  I thought the first episode of the show was really well done. I watched the first 3-5 episodes with my wife. Then she watched one without me and I didn't bother with catching up and/or watching it anymore.

                    We watch it together as well, sometimes waiting a few weeks and then catching up. It occasionally strays into cheap sentiment territory, but the performances are great and the dialogue often rings true. We're now caught up again. This week's group therapy session involving the three kids and the mother was brutally intense, but very well done.

                      Damn... this looks really super good, showing on an NBC station near you.

                      The Brave
                      This fresh, heart-pounding journey into the complex world of America's elite undercover military heroes follows Captain Adam Dalton (Mike Vogel) and his heroic Special Ops squad of highly trained undercover specialists as they carry out each mission on the ground. His team is armed with incredible sniper Sgt. Jasmine "Jaz" Khan (Natacha Karam), CPO Ezekiel "Preach" Carter (Demetrius Grosse), combat medic Sgt. Joseph "McG" McGuire (Noah Mills) and intelligence officer Agent Amir Al-Raisani (Hadi Tabbal). This team works hand-in-hand with D.I.A. Deputy Director Patricia Campbell (Anne Heche) and her team of analysts including veterans Cultural Specialist Noah Morgenthau (Tate Ellington) and Mission Coordinator Hannah Archer (Sofia Pernas), as they wield the world's most advanced surveillance technology from headquarters in D.C. All members of this elite squad, both in D.C. and across the world, have one thing in common: their resilience and commitment to freedom is unmatched by any other. Often facing insurmountable challenges, the team works tirelessly to get the job done and to prevail in even the most complex situations. Week after week, the team uses that determination along with their unbreakable bond to save the lives of innocent people and execute missions in some of the most dangerous places in the world.

                      Doesn't sound like propaganda at all.

                        Anyone watching this?

                        Valor
                        The boundaries between military discipline and human desire are tested on a US Army base that houses an elite unit of helicopter pilots trained to perform clandestine international and domestic missions. The drama unfolds in the present as well as in flashbacks to a failed mission involving one of the first female pilots in the unit, ultimately uncovering layers of personal and government/military secrets, and leading to a season-long plan to rescue a group of MIA soldiers.

                        Seems like a totally normal TV show you'd see in a country not pre-occupied with lionizing its military.

                          Big fan of this one too:

                          Seal Team
                          SEAL Team is a new military drama that follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan, and execute the most dangerous, high stakes missions our country can ask of them. Jason Hayes is the respected, intense leader of the Tier One team whose home life has suffered as a result of his extensive warrior's existence. His team includes his trusted confidant, Ray Perry, the longest-tenured operator with whom Jason shares an ingrained shorthand, and Sonny Quinn, an exceptional, loyal soldier with a checkered past who still combats self-destructive tendencies. Undergoing additional rigorous training in the hope of joining Hayes' select unit is Clay Spenser, a young, multi-lingual second generation SEAL with insatiable drive and dedication. Vital to the team's success are CIA analyst Mandy Ellis, who has sacrificed everything in her drive to root out evil and take down terrorists, and Lisa Davis, a no-nonsense, take-charge logistics officer and unofficial den mother responsible for outfitting the team with the necessary gear for each mission. Deployed on clandestine missions worldwide at a moment's notice, and knowing the toll it takes on them and their families, this tight-knit SEAL team displays unwavering patriotism and fearless dedication even in the face of overwhelming odds.

                          Been DVR'ing this because it sounds so fucking compelling!

                              Started two new series this weekend, 'Counterpart' and 'The Alienist'. I thought the acting was pretty good in both. The cinematography in the Alienist was excellent. Both have interesting plot lines. More nudity in Counterpart so far.

                              I liked them. I'll continue to watch.
