Hmm - watched "The Cape" for the first time the other night - not sure.
Will have to go back and see the first couple of episodes. *

If you liked Heroes (before it got so convoluted, anyway), you'll
probably like The Cape. I like watching the superhero shows.

Do you do Netflix so you have something else?

Yes, we do have Netflix. Our boys got us a blue-ray player for
Christmas so we can now watch some of the stuff "instantly". When DH
isn't home I'm working my way through episodes of Legend of the
Seeker, which is based on Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series of
books, which I have read. It's an ok show.

Seen some of those - agree - it's okay. During my morning slugging around
being sick time, I've now started watching "Supernatural" on TNT. Kind of
out there, but the satirical humor is there.

Our nominees for worst ever are Raising Hope & Parks & Rec

Haven't head of Raising Hope. I agree with you on Park & Rec and
would most definitely add The Office. Of the bits and pieces I've
seen of it, I have not found one occasion to even snicker. Stupid,
stupid, stupid.

The Office original British version was a bit drier. We kind of like "the
Office" but some of the goings on are just so stupid - I think the Michael
character in the American version has just gone too far - but the others
are that sort of exaggerated take on group dynamics. Having had some
extremely quirky (although intellectually capable in their specific field)
bosses, I can kind of see it. Ah, who knows.

Hope you find some better stuff to watch.
