TV update

about a month ago i wrote about all the tv shows i was excited to watch again or try out.
here's an update on what i think of them.

modern family/parks & rec - both great. keep it up!

the office - ehhhh. few funny things each episode isn't enough. i don't mind nard dog as manager. that's not the problem. the problem is the show isn't as good without michael. and james spader is awful. maybe he's not awful but the addition of his character is. the worst.

the vampire diaries - so far this season has totally been keeping my interest. so team damon!

fringe - so good but i'm missing peter bishop. previews from next weeks episode looks like he may be slowly coming back from non-existence. yes!!

new girl - i didn't love this show right away. after seeing the pilot i was real iffy about continuing to watch it but i have to admit that each new episode gets better and better. last week's wedding episode was great!

pan am - loved this from the first minute in. the girls are great. the time period is fabulous (clothes, cars, hairstyles, cities!). hope they keep it on.

terra nova - dustin and i are liking this but there are a few concerns. they seem to wrap up problems too quickly, not leaving the audience with any reason to tune in the following week. the acting is not the greatest but the concept is so cool we keep watching. plus dinosaurs!

hart of dixie - this show surprised me. i really wasn't going to watch but then my friend said she liked it. i caught the pilot online and was hooked. it kind of has that 'everwood' feel with the big time doctor moving to a small town - except totally different. ha!

up all night - i never tried this one. anyone watch it? any good?
