I'm sure THE DAILY SHOW will continue to include media criticism going forward. I find Stewart had gotten pretty stale the last five years or so, anyway.
12 Monkeys and AgentCarter continue to impress. Carter has improved a bit, even.
What is "QI"?

One of my guilty pleasures is Family Feud-Dawson era is the best but the Steve Harvey shows have lots of unexpected moments that are hilarious, like this one....

I find Stewart can still hit it out of the park: his interview with the financial show host, his rally to restore sanity, his debate with O'Riley... Carter's awesome. QI is a British panel show hosted by Stephen Fry, and is great. |

QI stands for Quite Interesting. It's a British comedy quiz filled with trick questions to seemingly obvious answers and is dedicated to point out how much we think we know is wrong. You get points for giving the right answer, you get points for giving anything interesting you say, you lose no points for most wrong answers, but you lose points for giving the obvious answer (as long as the obvious answer is also the wrong answer. They have become a bit tricky now and sneaking in questions where the obvious answer has been the right answer, but nobody on the panel dares to say it).
Stephen Fry hosts the show and the panel consists of four British comedians (though they occassionally get a non-comedian as well (Dr. Brian Cox, Dr. Ben Goldacre. In fact those episodes are some of my favourite episodes). Alan Davies is (nearly) always on the panel (I think there was 1 episode that didn't have him) and he basically gets to be the target of all of Stephen's jokes.

I'm watching Teen Titans Go!, and Beast Boy (my favorite Titan) is dressed up like Martian Manhunter (my favorite hero). I realize I'm a couple decades outside the target audience, but this is such a fun show.

Well the bloom is off the rose for Sleepy Hollow as far as I'm concerned. I just can't get into it any more.
Vikings season 3 premieres tomorrow night.

I thought it was just me on Sleepy Hollow, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I had some time to kill last night, and as I hadn't watched a single episode since they came back from the mid season break, I gave the first episode (with the angel) a viewing and it was not good. Not sure I'm going to push through the rest of the season at this point, but if I do, it won't be a priority. On the plus side, Agent Carter has been fantastic, so much so that my wife was bummed out when she realized that next week is the final episode. She said she would much rather it continue than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. come back, even though she has been really into that show this year. |

So this special , "Batman Be-Leaguered" is indeed on the new DVD of the (49-minute) "movie"(?) Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League Vs. Bizarro League. It was okay. Kind of cute. Batman refuses Superman's pleas to join the Justice League, then when Superman goes missing, batman has to ask the JL for help in finding him. I'm sure it will show up as a DVD extra on some future Batman Lego feature-length movie. |

I'm usually one year late with Tv series because I tend to watch them on DVDs... but lord, is Game of Thrones succeeding at maintining my attention! Season 4 started very well (three episodes in).
I wonder what's gonna happen in the coming years... because it seems unlikely that George R. R. Martin will conclude his series before the TV show catches up.

Funny you should ask. My understanding is that as part of the TV deal, HBO required Martin to tell them how the major plot points play out, and it's a good thing because there is a very good chance that the TV show will finish years before the books, and that's assuming Martin ever actually finishes the books. I'm sure the details will be different, but at this point, I just want to be assured I know how it actually ends.

Marvel's Agent Carter ended well on Tuesday. No offical word on a second season, but it was promoted as a "season finale" rather than a "series finale," so that's a good omen. maybe they could skip ahead a few years to the early 1950s and do an Agents of ATLAS type thing next year?
American Dad! returned to TBS on Monday for a six-week run of new episodes.

Also of note -- Disney has announced a new DuckTales series to premiere in 2017.

Nearly finished with Season 1 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (currently on episode 18). It's fun to see the various Marvel comics characters appear in the series, even though most of them are quite different from their comics counterparts. So far the guys from the show I've seen that I recognised as comics-first characters:
John Garrett, Victoria Hand, Jasper Sitwell (though due seeing Winter Soldier first, I already knew him there), Erik Koenig
Franklin Hall (Graviton)
Donny Gill (Blizzard)
Lorelei
Have I missed any? Sadly got spoiled on some things, though I was surprised by others I expected the Clairvoyant to be revealed to be Zola, having seen the Winter Soldier already |

It hasn't really grabbed me and I'm skimming through a lot of it, to be honest, or leaving it on as background while I do something else. It isn't all that bad, but it isn't really very good, either. But I'll probably finish the first season since I've gotten this far. |
