Somehow, between being held up by near-fatal traffic accidents and surprise visits from good and deserving aunts, we ended up watching a lot of TV. Probably because we had a lot of TV to watch. With the new season of shows starting up, checking out the new offerings from the various networks can start to pile up and feel like homework. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that this isn’t Pokémon; we don’t have to catch them all. Sure, we’re going to watch the more bizarre offerings like Sleepy Hollow, but there’s only so many hours in a week. If it comes down to choosing between a sit-com like the Micheal J Fox Show and watching a BBC four-parter like What Remains, the British win the war every time. And hot Asian girl aside, Dads isn’t going to tear eyes away from a half decent iPad app even on a bad day. It’s good to try new things, but we’re looking forward to whittling down this season to a reasonable watching schedule. Reasonable for US, we should say. Don’t feel like you have to keep up with our bad habits.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a prime-time commercial for Marvel’s movie franchises with a whole lot of brains and money backing it up. Notice the attractive hacker chick and geek girl thrown in to give the hardcore basement dwellers and Bronie types boners of hope.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has Ming-Na Wen playing Melinda May to fill the show’s requisite “Hot Asian” quotient, but the sit-com Dads has Brenda Song. Sometimes even special effects can’t beat real life.
Hey kids, those cans daddy brought home sure look cute and fun-filled. Look, even your good friend Hello Kitty is there on the can dressing up as cute fruit. It’s gotta be something he bought for you to drink, right? Bottoms up!

Oh no! Breaking Bad is ending on Sunday. How will it end? You decide.
Luka mentioned that one of the theories on how Breading Bad will end will be reminiscent of the classic Marty Robbins country ballad “El Paso”, as dramatized here by the imitable Steve Martin.
Who knew that a young girl’s first period was something that the whole neighborhood could enjoy? Join in the fun with Molly Grows Up (1953).
From Skullard’s Postcard Collection: Coffee and doughnuts, every cop’s lifeblood. Sunday is Coffee Day, so celebrate the most socially acceptable chemical addiction by staining your teeth and irritating your bladder. (The preceding message brought to you by the Cola Foundation.)
