[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

With a title like "Duck Dynasty" I was hoping for some epic spin-off to Duck Tales. A clam can dream I guess.
You called?
Beard bros, imo.
Justified is better than every shitty reality show ever
So it ends like every other episode of the show?
Yeah, pretty much. It also tossed in a pointless character death for a character that's been everything but forgotten for the entire second season and it ends with the bad guys win again. It even did the thing where the smagical solution to their problem came out of nowhere. And the big villain of the arc is defeated in quite possibly the most anti-climactic way possible. Show with so much promise and potential goes out with a whimper, not that anyone expected anything different.
On the positive side, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Batman Beyond and Batman: Brave and the Bold will be on Netflix at the end of the month. Why no TAS or Superman? I have no idea.
Did they add The Zeta Project? It's set in the Batman Beyond future.
Looks like they didn't. Fuck. I may just need to go and buy the DVDs.
JL and JLU? Sweet, can't wait.
Watching some old episodes of the "New Woody Woodpecker" show. Good ol' cartoon whackyness.
Yeah, nostalgia can be a double edged sword. I still like it, but to each their own.I loved woody woodpecker as a child. Then I watched an episode as an adult. I don't want to further destroy my happy memories of it, so I no longer watch it.
Speaking of which I've seen the new Tom and Jerry show...not that impressed.
First episode of Castle, looks pretty interesting. One thing that bugs me though is how its one of those detective shows where the by the books police person antagonizes the genius detective EVEN THOUGH he's clearly a genius. I mean, why argue? He is clearly the Jesus!
But on the other side of the spectrum, why doesn't the chief respect the detective at all? Clearly she works hard, yet he won't give her the time of day. What the hell? Why does no-one respect anyone in this universe?
While I make fun of it, I am still intrigued and can't wait to see more.

There are reasons that don't become clear for a few seasons. She is the head detective, though, so you can't say she's totally without respect.
weekly reminder that Justified is better than everything you're watching
I don't mean this as a flippant insult, just that Justified is SO FUCKING GOOD

I have heard great things, I just have a BAZILLION things to finish media-wise first.
Finished watching season 2 of Sherlock. 
Good, they just started filming the first two episodes of series three.

I'm actually friends with one of the Robot Chicken writers/actors, and I can tell you, the future of Detours is pretty much dead. They were basically fired. It's been pretty bad for them financially, sadly. Seems like anything they do besides RC dies.
Disney seems to be betting it all on Episode VII with the way they've closed down nearly everything they're not running themselves. At this point I'm not sure anything besides CN's Clone Wars (which is getting a bit of closure in a 6th season on a non-CN network) is getting anything past full-on cancellation.
They want to make it into a DISNEY property, which means they are likely going to be erasing all the complex themes that arose in the prequels and expanded universe stuff.
As for the Robot Chicken guys doing other stuff... I liked Titan Maximum, but I feel like they focused too much on the shitty team and not enough on making it a good super robot show. Megas XLR is everything that Titan Maximum SHOULD have been and it was done years ago.

I just read that today. I cannot wait.
This is really my only concern about the change in ownership. Lucas may have been many things, but he totally encouraged fan usage of his property and accepted a great deal of the EU as cannon. Disney is notoriously litigious with their properties, so I can see that going away almost entirely.
Newest episode of Fairly Oddparents, Timmy got a magical dog with what some might say an "extreme" personality, and has an annoying voice. Why does that sound famili-
...I am not confident with this change.

All these guys do is rip out parts and drop in catalog parts straight out the boxes. On the one hand, I get that that's the point of the show, but I don't really find it that appealing, because it just seems so plug-and-play. I want to see them deal with a tenth hand car resto where half the bolts are stripped, and someone has duct taped the hoses and wires. Or give them a budget.

How awesome was the 100th Regular Show episode? It had a certain song in it. A certain song from an 80s movie. An 80s movie about robots.
I just liked that they brought back the Eggscellent Hat.
