I HATE YOU!
I actually enjoy Franklin & Bash. Like GF said, it's pretty mindless fun. Sometimes I just like watching shows that aren't too thick on plot. It can be quiet exhausting.

That's what most USA shows are: just fun shows that you don't have to think while watching. And that is definitely ok for me, especially in the summer.
And every show I listed is at least entertaining, which is more than I can say for Supernatural!

Ramp up the cliche and try to make it even dumber and you have Franklin and Bash. I'd take BBT over Franklin and Bash, because at least BBT does try SOME new things.

I never said I didn't like to think. I said that I don't need every show to be one that is completely plot heavy. If you do, great. I enjoy plot heavy shows that make you think as well, but there is nothing wrong with a show that lets you turn your brain off and just enjoy.

I agree. I just didn't get the summer aspect to it.
And Brodeur stop pretending that BBT has a single redeeming quality.

Oh, I was really just talking about most of the summer shows that USA puts on. Buddy comedy/drama type shows that require almost no thinking to enjoy them. Breaking Bad is a plot / character heavy show and that was on my list too!

If the rustling of jimmies is all you intend to do, then by all means, carry on.

Working through Season 2 of White Collar, just got to the flashback episode. Now I understand why they never made Kate say anything before...That woman is far and away one of the worst actresses Ive ever seen in a halfway decent production. She makes January Jones look like Meryl Streep.

It's Alexandra Daddario and she's hot as hell. She was fine in Hall Pass.

In the summer there are tend to be more shows that you can just enjoy without thinking about anything.
The Newsroom debuts soon which will be the exact opposite so it's not like you have to only enjoy shows that are not considered heavy.

Oh god yes. She was also in a few episodes of Parenthood. She is gorgeous. Insane body and ridiculous eyes.

I just rewatched the series premier of "Weeds" and it's so disappointing how far downhill that show has gone. I spent that whole episode with a smile on my face, I used to ******* love this show so much.

Looking forward to Louie, Wilfred and Falling Skies.
Call me crazy but I'll be checking out Anger Management and Brand X (I think it's called)

I will watch Newsroom. Sorkin and the fact I've interned at a news room and have a degree in journalism has me intrigued. This seems right up Sorkin's alley in terms of style too.

Good first three seasons and then the show just got awful. It kind of started to go way downhill before that but it really is a ****** show now.
