I'm sorry you find Six Feet Under boring, you can always stick to watching something more fast paced and easily to understand. Soap Opera? I don't like True Blood because of its 'romantic' story line. There is a relationship, but all movies have a 'relationship'. That is like calling Lord of the Rings a 'soap opera' because there are 'friendships' and romantic relationships in the overall plot.

I like folklore, True Blood features more folklore creatures, not just Vampires. Such as shapeshifters and werewolves. The books do have vampires, but that isn't all. True Blood is based on a set of books, which are at about 11 books, each season revolves around one of the books.

Before everyone says 'Its cashing in on Twilight', The books started in 2001, Twilight's first book came out in 2004. The True Blood show started airing in 2008, first Twilight movie came out that same year. They wouldn't know, starting filming, that the movie would have been a big success.

Also, True Blood isn't a teenage love story.

Well, I tried to watch Bob's Burger's first episode last night and I quit watching 5 minutes in, due to extreme boredom.

After I got back from work, I decided to take it easy and watch it till the end.

Not bad, not the trainwreck I was expecting but... gessh... There are so many problems with this premise.

First off, the main kid characters all sound exactly alike, they might as well be one single character, the dialogue is also a little weird at points and I don't know how long they can keep having scenarios with just the burger joint.

But I'll see the next episode to get the full sense of the thing...

But honestly, I don't see a big future for a series like this, I have seen a previous animated Fox show that was cancelled called Sit Down and Shut Up!, that show was vastly different and much better, yet it barely lasted 2 season, I don't see this one making it that far.

Dammit, after King of the Hill was cancelled, it's been pretty hard to have a different show that isn't either done by Matt Groening or Seth Macfarlane...

I could see Bob's Burgers being better as a 10 episode series. Problem with American TV is that something MUST be good enough to last multiple seasons. Why not produce shows for ten episodes, squeeze in a lot of funny and call it a show? Oh wait, thats what Adult Swim does. :-/

But yeah, I could see Bob getting better, as long as they go the Home Movies (Bob's Burgers is from the creator of that show) route and make the characters have a little more weight and emotion.

And true, the kids were all very much alike.

Tired of all the 'FAMILY COMEDY SHOWS'

Should make one about a loser 30 year old that doesn't know what he wants to do with his life so he goes on spiritual quest for lolz in cartoon form.

RIGHT?! THAT IS THE OPPOSITE NO?!

The series premiere of The Cape.
Show had a pretty good start in my opinion. I'm looking forward to watching more episodes.

It seems like a lot more American shows are going that short season route now. Mostly the cable ones, but there's Bored to Death, Mad Men, Dexter, Walking Dead, etc....

Well, they tried something that in early 90's with shows like Beavis and Butthead and a few stoner comedy movies such as Dude's Where's My Car, Bill & Ted...

Though, MTV's Beavis and Butthead is coming back...

I remember the cartoons Undergrads and Mission Hill being about 20-something singles. I liked both those shows. I agree, the family format has been done to death.

And even the ones currentely airing are predictable...

In The Simpsons you know there's going to be the obligatory Homer screws up something and hurts either a) Marge's feelings or b)Lisa feelings and magically solves the trouble 2 minutes before the ending credits episode.

Or the mandatory episode where a revelation from the past puts Marge and Homer's marriage in trouble... Guess what happens 2 minutes before the ending?

Undergrads was the best. Have you seen Clone High?

Oh yeah! Clone high was great! Will Forte as Abe Lincoln. lol

My favorite episode might be the ADD episode guest starring Tom Green.

Clone High's probably the most quoted show between my friends and I. I really wish they'd make more episodes :(.

I still need to check out Clone High. It sounds right up my alley as I freakin' loved Mission Hill.

Last thing I watched was the first episode of Treme, which is pretty fucking great. I'd expect no less from the creators of The Wire.
