Welcome To TV Land

When I've dreamed of this moment, I've Had the Time of My Life was always playing. Well, what can you do?"
-Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars



For the most part, I liked this episode. I think Kal Penn is adorable and I have no troubles accepting him as the man in Robin's life for the moment because he's not being pushed on me as a game-changer for Robin like Don was back in Season 5. Plus, Kal Penn's presence means that they are therapy jokes and as a therapist-in-training, I get a kick out of that stuff. Other things I loved: Robin and Barney being an investigative team, finding out the gender of the LAME baby, Ted's incoherent babbling once he finds out his date's secret, and the coup de grĂ¢ce: the return of MURDER TRAIN!!



It still has a lot of flaws as a show. For example, I'm getting really, really sick of Oleg. Sexual harassment and rape jokes aren't funny and there seems to be at least one an episode. Also, the horse makes me feel like I'm watching Mr. Ed, but not in fun way. More like a distracting way. That said, I do like the chemistry/relationship that's forming between Kat Dennings (love her) and Beth Behrs and I also like Garrett Morris as Earl. So...I guess I'm going to keep watching it.



Jason. Fucking. Dohring.

HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA!

I'm so freaking excited about his guest star arc on this show. So freaking excited! :D

LOGAN FUCKING ECHOLLS! YES YES YES! I am so excited about his guest arc as well :D :D :D

I agree about Oleg. His character has no real value in the show other than to add gross-out and creepy sexual humor. But I agree with the things you like. THe show's tone still feels uneven to me but I like Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs enough to keep watching.

P.S. It is unacceptable that I currently have no Veronica Mars icon to use on this comment.

He's so fucking perfect in everything that he does. Did you ever see his appearance on Lie To Me? It was super creepy and super awesome.

I'm going to keep watching 2 Broke Girls as well. Surely, it'll figure it's tone out soon.

PS. I only have the one, if that makes you feel any better.

I should so start watching these tv shows someday.

I'll admit that Ringer was initially difficult for me to get into. It wasn't until last week's episode that I finally felt it was worth the devote time.

I do recommend you watch Veronica Mars though, if you haven't already. I heart that show.

I watched all the three seasons... I loved that show, but...we'll talk about it when you'll watch the last season.

I've seen all three seasons of VMars. The third season was a heck of a disappointment.

tell me about it!
Veronica acted like a bitch with Logan!

She sure did.

I didn't watch Lie to Me... but I'm glad to see he's been keeping busy with acting jobs! He is awesome.

And I agree... I'm sure they're still working out the kinks and the show will get more even with time.

It also kinda broke my heart that the series ended when she and her dad were in a fight and it didn't really get resolved. :(

True, that was really bad too indeed.

The fact that Jason Dohring is on makes me consider picking up Ringer...

If you like trashy soap operas with MIRRORS and TWINS, then Ringer is a perfect choice for you. :P

Mystery vs. History had some great moments. I adored Barney's little PowerPoint thingy, and the Murder Train was the highlight of the episode!

2 Broke Girls and Ringer sound so interesting! I shall check them out after exams, in case I get addicted now. ;D

Barney's PowerPoint was super cute.
