Apparently the Satan character in the Bible miniseries on the History Channel looked like a weather-beaten Obama.

Legit is very funny. First episode was a bit too crude, but the rest have been great.

Agreed. I DVR'd the Bible last night as well. The previews looked stellar.

It's been disappointing to me. For one, ten hours is not enough time to do the Bible. It's rushed. Secondly, they really don't seem to get in to the spirituality, or the why's too much. Most of the main characters seem a bit like assholes, and not too sympathetic. But I'm still in the Old Testament...God was pretty hardcore back then, so why should I expect the prophets to be sensitive cryers like men in the church today?

I meant to catch this one, Jim Jefferies is a great stand up. I'll have to find it online.

[FN Phat]

This has been a surprisingly good show. I like it a lot.

I'm still sucked in.

This looks interesting, I'll have to check it out. I like the kid playing Norman. Vera Farmiga seems like a good cast because I find her a bit odd looking. Sometimes she looks like Marilyn Manson to me.

This first episode was pretty hard for me to watch. Rape, a multiple stabbing murder, and the creepy mother-son vibe made me turn away many times. It's a great cast, but I'm not sure I can stick with it.

Last night's episode of Justified was outstanding. I still like the second season the best, but this fourth season has been pretty good.

The Americans has also been very good, I highly recommend it.

Me too. It is interesting to me that Vikings can tell a compelling story without the need for non stop action and sometime slow episodes, where TWD can't do it for 10 minutes before I want to shut it off. TWD writers suck.

Hannibal is premiering tonight on NBC. Alan Sepinwall has been raving about it and he loves it through its first five episodes. NBC has been struggling mightily, but if this show is as good as some of the critics are saying it is, then I hope it can stick around despite this time slot being a death sentence for about 10 shows in the past 3 years.

Vikings season finale pretty awesome. Great set-up for season 2 which I have high hopes for. Great show so far.

Those butterfly corpses on a promo caught my attention.

And of course KSL has now dropped the show.

And of course KSL has now dropped the show.

The station says it made its decision “due to the extensive graphic nature of this show”—a quibble with which one can’t really argue, given the series’ propensity toward frequent gore and coffee drinking—and after receiving “numerous complaints” from viewers who long ago cast their remote control into the fire, deeming it “the Devil’s wand.”

I was surprised that KSL hadn't caught on after the second episode. It's the most gory network TV show I've ever seen and this past episode was the worst yet. I'm not going to fault KSL for this. I think there's a strong possibility that if they just strung together two hours of that show and gave it to the motion picture ratings people, the thing would be rated R. It's really pretty rough stuff.

That is my whole problem with KSL getting rid of it. They freaked out about 'The New Normal' which may not be very good, but is actually a pretty sweet show. And yet, they let Hannibal go for many episodes before stopping it. So, gay people in a relationship is worse than the murder and goriness of Hannibal? KSL picks strange battles. I guess they realized that they looked pretty silly and hurry and pulled Hannibal. I guess if the main character on Hannibal was gay, it would have been pulled earlier.
