New Michael J. Fox show.
#22
Was very disappointed in both the Robin Williams & Michael J Fox shows. I honestly do not think I laughed one time. However I am pretty hard to please when it comes to things being funny. I have tried to catch all the new shows, if I did not see them on TV I watched them the next day on my computer. So far I have not been overly impressed with any of the new shows. I am still happy with my old faithful ones. like NCIS, CSI, looking forward to this evening to see Once Upon A Time, the Good Wife.

Fox was very sad.....if it remains on air, they better clean up the act and replace the writers. Like Elementary, NCIS, Castle, waiting patiently for Scandal......sitcoms are not what they used to be....should all be on porn channel now!

I didn't like the show either. I watch the cable shows -- I like the History Channel, TRu, Discovery. Have any of you watched "The American Bible Challenge" Now that is a good quiz show. Jeff Foxworthy is the emcee. I really like that show, along with HGTV, TLC, Food. I even like Pawnbrokers, Ice Road Truckers, etc. Sure beats the heck out of those shows on the broadcast channels. I watch local news and the Weather Channel. The rest of the time I am quilting and listening to audiobooks! GO VIKES!!!!!!! Edie

Network (meaning the "big 3") television has really gone downhill in the last few years. I don't even watch network tv anymore. The shows I prefer to watch are on USA, A&E, TNT, and a couple other cable channels. Suits, Justified, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Duck Dynasty, Downton Abbey - these are the best tv shows on right now, and NONE of them are on the Big Three.
We've actually discontinued paying almost $100 a month for entertainment. We're not getting our money's worth. So we shut down our satellite and pay $18 a month for Netflix and Hulu Plus. It's cheaper, Netflix has no commercials and Hulu has limited commercials (2 per break, instead of 8 or 10, and there are fewer breaks). Netflix is producing its own shows and they're very, very good. "House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey was nominated for 9 Emmys and won 3. I also watch a lot of shows and movies on the internet.
Duck Dynasty's ratings are beating the pants off that idiotic Kardashian show. Network TV better wake up fast.

We subscribe to DISH, and other than PBS, The Big Bang Theory and the news, there does not seem to be much on TV. It is rather disappointing. Usually, I scour the $5.00 bins at the store and watch a movie but lately the movies seem to be awful too. Sometimes I wonder how stupid do they think we are?
