BTW, does anyone know how I can get to either download episodes of or watch Head Rush online? I've tried a whole slurry of different torrent sites and can't find it anywhere! I'd really like to check it out.

My name is Cijay and...I've been a Gleek for 3 years now. I didn't intend on it being a habit but Mr Shu's dedication to the kids and when they sang To Sir, With Love... sigh Any particular reason you answered the question like you were at an AA meeting? Force of habit. Any Gleek over the age of about 15 has to start that way.

My favorite show is "Top Gear". Other shows I watch are "The Tonight Show", "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report" and pretty much anything to do with science. I like shows with facts and humor, not over-dramatized rubbish. I like "South Park" as well. It's interesting the way they go about making some pretty good points about life, political correctness be damned. Do you think it is too much of a stretch to say "Top Gear" and "South Park" have some similarities in how they get their points across?
I should add that I watch all forms of motorsports. I love that man has learned to master and manipulate the power and forces within these machines.

I have one gripe about the more recent episodes of The Big Bang Theory.
At this point, I'm honestly not sure who's more insane, Sheldon or Chuck Lorre.
Sheldon's parking spot (the existence of which has not even been hinted up to this point) is reassigned to Howard, because Sheldon doesn't own a car or drive.
The (very legitimate) fact that Sheldon doesn't own a car and doesn't drive comes up exactly twice in the entire episode, and is then dropped entirely. The rest is about who's more important to the university.
I think it could have been handled a bit better.

I've noticed shows sometimes bring something up out of the blue just for a story-line.
For example, in a CSI:NY episode, forgot what season it was but it was suggested that the CSI detective Danny had a family of cops but before and after that episode, it was never mentioned. But another detective had a family of cops and that would have been better to use him.

If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, there's several 'webisodes' that provide the backstory of Hannah the "Bicycle Girl", the first walker Rick encounters, and subsequently puts down. There's also has a story about a man, Chase, who is implied to be her brother in Atlanta. There was meant to be another one, about the zombie Rick finds in the tank, about the fall of Atlanta (called " Black Hawk Down with zombies"), how he had to kill his reanimated CO, and how he was bit and was going to blow himself up with the grenade Rick finds but then dies, but Frank Darabont was fired before that could happen. Also he was played by the guy who played Darth Maul. There's also an unused season two premiere, wherein the group decides to live with the Vatos from the fourth episode, only to find they were all shot execution style and their stronghold overrun (we never find out who, but it's likely either the Governor or Dave and Tony's group from Nebraska). The group barely makes it out alive, runs into the traffic snarl, and the horde chasing them catches up (though how Dale missed that is still a mystery), and Sofia runs off. The only part that made it into the official premiere was the last third. Torn Apart - Part 1Cold Storage - Part 1There's a button to go to the next part, in the video description. What Lies Ahead deleted scenes part 1There is a problem with Chase's story. When he finds the storage depot, the last employee, called BJ (unfortunately it's not CPT Hunnicut) tells him he can change into clothes from a locker that "belonged to a cop" (also implied to be where BJ found his rifle), who turns out to be Rick when Chase finds family photos of Rick, Lori and Carl, and department photos of Rick, Shane, Leon and Don (only seen in the flash game). It also retcons Rick's hometown from King's County, Georgia (as in the pilot) back to Cynthiana, Kentucky (as in the books). This raises the question of how and why a sheriff in Kentucky owns a storage locker in Atlanta.

I watch: NCIS NCIS:LA Criminal Minds CSI (original series) Castle Elementary Vegas (the new one with Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis)
The Big Bang Theory Mike and Molly American Dad Family Guy Archer (best animated, adult series EVER)
The Walking Dead (waiting for season 3 to come out on DVD, which is the only way I get to watch it, as my provider doesn't carry AMC)
Shows I miss, that I still watch repeats of: CSI:Miami Law & Order SG-1 (and all it's spinoffs) Firefly Red Caps (sort of a UK version NCIS, very good IMO, though short lived and I have not seen a repeat of it on BBC America in a long time) ST:TOS and all the Star Treks that followed. (Really wish one channel or another would run DS9,start to finish. Eureka

FX has announced a premiere date for Archer. It's January 17 (same as Anger Management) so episodes should be online in the days following. It sounds like it'll use the same structure as season three, with a three part premiere followed by thirteen episodes. www.boomtron.com/2012/11/justified-archer/

Turns out, there's going to be a crossover with Bob's Burgers in season four. Fortunately, it will use Archer's animation. According to H. Jon Benjamin, voice of both characters, “It’s like a Bourne Identity-type plotline. It starts off with Archer as Bob, making hamburgers, but he doesn’t know that he’s Archer. He’s at the restaurant and these, like, I think Russian thugs come in, and Bob dispatches them expertly. And then he’s like, What just happened? How did I do that? So he has to try to figure out why he’s so good at killing people.” While I've never actually watched Bob's Burgers, it sounds interesting (though wouldn't it effectively end Bob's Burgers if Bob was really Archer the whole time?).

Personally, I hope they bring back a few characters from season one, such as Conway Stern (which isn't his real name) - the near enigmatic man that ghosted into ISIS to steal submarine plans, and Charles and Rudy, the gay interior decorator and haridresser/assassins for hire who somehow escaped a Claymore being detonated a few yards in front of them, "however improbable that may be."

Ah.... Archer. All other animated shows fail to measure up to Archer!

What's wrong with the animation on Bob's Burgers? ;D I did notice that Archer did the intros for this weeks "Animation Domination". I'm assuming the Bob-style mustache was sporting was a tie in to that cross-over episode.

About the only show I make a point of catching is World's Dumbest an truTV. Same here. There are a few anime I watch and some music video shows, but beyond that it's World's Dumbest and Storage Wars.

About the only show I make a point of catching is World's Dumbest an truTV. Great choices. The first one makes me feel so much better about myself, and the second one lets me know that there is very little on TV that is TRUE.

Am I to understand that no one here knows or wishes to tell me where to find episodes of Head Rush? Or was that question simply ignored by all?

Never even heard of it, sorry.
On the subject of other: I recently started watching "Duck Dynasty", upon occasion. Sure, it's about as real as most "reality tv" (aka: mostly staged and carefully edited), but some of those guys just crack me up. Jase in particular.

I've noticed Pawn Stars is becoming more and more scripted, like Cory's threat of going to a different shop if he wasn't made partner. When he says it, he doesn't really sound serious about it.
Though they also suffer from trailer spoilers (much like Mythbuster did a few years ago). In a recent trailer, it shows Cory considering a 1932 Chicago Bears game flyer, then show Rick and The Old Man arguing that it was a mistake, and mentioning the price Cory paid.
Good news is I don't have to watch that episode now.

I always though Pawn Stars was heavily scripted. At least the interaction between the staff, out of earshot of the customers. Particularly anything involving Cumlee (sp?) and the "old man". The others aren't very good actors, but those two are really bad.
Still, I like the show enough that when we were in Vegas last month, we visited the shop. Much, MUCH smaller than it appears on the show.
Of course none of the main staff were there, but it was kind of cool to see some of the items from different episodes. I did find it amusing that above the desk where the "old man" sits is a sign asking something along the lines of "no pictures in this direction, please".

Chumlee once broke a vase while messing around with a blade (forget what it is exactly).
And of course remade with ninjas.
