Ink master is the best!
SOA just continues to amaze
It was a good day in the land of BET I see. They made the list twice.
I love SOA. Espically the fact its 1hr 30min long.
Brickleberry needs to get cancelled. The show is not even funny but I could say the same bout South Park.
I like Brickleberry glad it got renewed for a 2nd season.
Shouldnt the 10:00 and 11:30 be combined for SOA. more than likely they are both pulling unique viewers right?
90 min SOA?. was it a season ending ep last night?. if so it was for a season ender. not good.
“90 min SOA?. was it a season ending ep last night?. if so it was for a season ender. not good.”
No, that was episode 11 of 13 for SOA this season.

Quick question:
Nielsen estimates number of viewers
A) so networks and advertisers could set ad prices
B) to make my favorite soap looking as much popular as possible
Wow. Last week Extreme Couponing had a 0.5, now it’s not even ranked.
Nice to see a bit more commentary
@Colin
Extreme Couponing (10:30) – TLC

Covert Affairs was very good. Looking forward to next season and what Wilcox told Annie. And how Annie and Augie will end up now that they’re finally together.
Colin Farrell may join the cast of Sons of Anarchy next season. Here’s the link http://hollywoodandswine.com/colin-farrell-suffering-from-depression-after-agents-tell-him-to-consider-career-in-television/
Colin Farrell would be an awesome addition
@jmahoney
As long as he doesn’t price himself out of a move into television I agree he’d be a good addition. I’ve heard of this happening quite a lot where certain people price themselves out, think they’re worth more than what they currently are, and thus the shows producers move on, or give into the demands.
Covert Affairs is one of the best shows on tv. If you haven’t watched I suggest you take the next 6 months and get caught up watching seasons 1-3, to get yourself ready for season 4 this summer. Trust me it is worth it.
Covert Affairs is a very boring show, still stopping in a deadlock and totally ripetitive.Bad characters too. To avoid
I was enjoying Covert Affairs this season, but if they’re going to cave to the shippers, and make it all about Annie&Auggie, I’m out of there.
this season of Covert Affairs has been leaps and bounds ahead of season 1 & 2′s stand alone episodes. They really kicked everything into gear and amped up the stakes. The two serialized storylines for this season (episodes 1-10 and 11-16) were great. I’m especially excited about next season because they are going to have a single season long 16 episode storyline, and with Annie agreeing to Wilcox’s deal it’s definitely going to be intense. But I can’t wait until next summer to find out what was in the folder!
