This was possibly the best version of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Pitting the men vs. the women, it had the moments that would make it infamous (Puck spitting on David BEFORE the show even started, cat fights, and even a wedding).
This was the Golden Age of MTV reality TV because at this point it was still about the people interacting and not just about getting drunk and partying.
The men, being men, took emotions out the equation and decided that the lowest man on the points board would be eliminated - leaving the strongest men left for the finale. The women, bringing emotions into the equation, didn't do that early on and it hurt them causing rifts within the team.
All in all, this was an excellent season of competition and is a must watch for "Challenge" fans.

It was OK. The first season was quite funny. The second had a few moments but you could tell tat they wrote episodes shortly after seeing "The Jinx" and dragged out a joke that wasn't funny to begin with through an entire season. Now, here we are for season three (they brought back a "Jinx" reference right off the bat too, and it's so out of place and unfunny - ugh!) and I got through two episodes and I think I am out.
The quirky humor isn't humorous anymore and it's overall too cartoony w/ pretty lame references (and literally stealing a Gattaca joke made in "The League"), the jokes are stale, the characters are all annoying (especially her landlord - good gracious is she grating) - when I didn't find them to be at the start of the series, and it ultimately feels like they are trying way too hard. Sorry Kimmy Schmidt, you broke me.

Not only is "Legend of Korra" one of the best animated shows I believe it's one the of the best television shows of all time. Yes, I realize that this is high praise for an animated series but in 12 episodes running 30 minutes, "Korra" packed in more humor, adventure, drama, wonder, action and jaw-dropping moments than most series do in an entire run.
It's beautifully animated and filled with wonderful voice work from top to bottom and every episode leaves you wanting more. The action set pieces are some of the best I've ever seen. It's a great show to watch for kids and adults alike. After the series finale, I was left saddened that it was over but glad that it had happened at all.
"It's anything but."
'Regular Show' follows nearly the same formula for every episode. A seemingly regular day at the park or with the main characters, then they get tasked with something, then something absurd and crazy happens. And the best part is that it's all told matter of fact. There's no winking at the audience or drawing attention to it because it's just how these guys live. The imagination shown by the writers and animators and entire team behind 'Regular Show' shows that they know how to craft a story and entertain an audience. I truly love watching this show.
You know who else loves this show? My mom!
I still enjoy 'Adventure Time' and love the animation, stories and sense of adventure but lately I feel as if it's too wrapped up in its own mythology. It is trying very hard to establish when & where this all takes place and then throwing in hints about what the past & future of Ooo will be (like last weeks episode) that it can get lost along the way. It is setting things up that may or may not ever be touched and I honestly don't understand why.
This show WAS great. Hilarious, inventive, dramatic at times, and filled with some great gags.
The last two seasons have been very disappointing, borderline awful. Danger Island was a step above Dreamland, but the show is spinning its wheels as it navigates how to get Archer out of his current predicament. It used to be must-see-TV and now it's become "Oh, Archer is on?" I want them to end on a high note, so here's hoping for that.
This show has no stakes. Nearly every single character has to live, survive, barely cling to life so that they can one day face Batman. It's not compelling. Yes, I gave up after 4-5 episodes and I won't come back no matter how "good" it has gotten.
Starts out a bit rough but ends strong.
If you're familiar with his standup you know a good deal of his jokes, but as the season progressed the characters fleshed themselves out, the jokes got better and it really went out on a high note.
Maximum Velocity tour was the best season of Road Rules, hands down. Followed by South Pacific. You can skip the lame ones that came after/
