Originally Posted By debtee Oh please don't not watch it because of what I said skinnerbox. Give it a go and see what you think. We just thought it was great at first but then it got very predictable fast.

I get very tired of shows that are too predictable. So perhaps I'll just focus on other shows for now. Which reminds me... Good Christian B*tches, I mean GCB, starts tonight. I love Kristen Chenowith, so I'm on board just because of her. And Robert Harling is the creator of the show, who wrote Steel Magnolias. Sounds like GCB is a Texan hybrid of Steel Magnolias and Desperate Housewives. Works for me.

Originally Posted By DDMAN26 I guess what might be clouding my judgment is Homeland's first season went up against Breaking Bad's fourth.
