Aye, I was perusing her pictures on IMdB, to see what she looked like sans Viking gear. Mostly comic con/red carpet pictures - non-posed in natural light - and she is nearly flawless.
She was in an episode of The Glades in which she is pretty much in a bikini for 42 minutes.

In the growing trend of "We can't think of anything new so lets bring back old shows that people used to like," Craig T. Nelson is reprising his role as Coach Hayden Fox in a 13 episode "follow up" series on NBC.
I was just about to post this.

Seems like the new thing, first X-Files for a 6 episode run, and then Coach now for a 13 episode.

She is pretty nice to look at.

Love Vikings though. Glad it got renewed.

TURN is starting up again next weekend. I'm pumped.

Anyone know when/if Black Mirror will have more episodes soon?

Coach coming back is quite odd.

Besides, Craig T. Nelson, of course.

I feel pretty good about Coach coming back. If we can only get something done about a return for CHiPs (you know Larry Wilcox is just hanging out somewhere)

That is sweet. Coach Watkins does morning drive in Charlotte (or at least used to).

I've been watching Star Trek, TOS. Never watched them before. It's funny when you watch something that wasnt' that popular when it first aired, and now it's a huge franchise.

I'm behind on the Americans, but I agree that generally this season has been great so far. I'm not sure why this show doesn't have more of a following. There's a lot of spy-related action sequences, awesome montages set to 80s music, and the show is really creative about squeezing as much Keri Russell nudity as possible into a basic cable show.

Oh, and all the deeper stuff about what it means to be a parent or spouse, the nature of patriotism, etc.

Source of the post Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - Very funny. I feel like a shouldn't like Tina Fey stuff for some reason, bit I really do.
My wife and I hardly ever like the same TV shows. I thought this show could work for both of us. Nope.

I enjoyed it.

You had me at Keri Russell nudity.

What did she not like about it? My wife tends to not like shows with lots of humor based on stereotypes (didn't make it more than two episodes into Arrested Development), but had no issues with it in UKS.

It just didn't catch her attention at all. She's picky with TV shows, though.

I don't know if this will open an unpleasant can of worms, but what are people referring to as potential racist stereotypes on UKS? My wife watched the middle 4-5 episodes without me, so I missed some stuff, but I thought the roommate was clearly a stereotypical gay guy, but not really a stereotypical black guy. Other than that, I would say the most noticeable stereotype came out in depiction of the residents of Durnsville as total small-town hicks.

(Season 3 is a let down, but it is beautifully shot and written)

By the way just now watching the Season 7 episodes of Mad Men that showed up on Netflix...fantastic.

Its not unpleasant, the writing is meant to play up racial stereotypes and how ridiculous some things are. Some people hated it, some were commending it. There are Asian stereotypes and Native american stereotypes, but I think they weren't done to the same level as the gay stereotypes, which I think weakens whatever comment the writers were trying to make.

I think making Frank President at the end of the second season was a bad plot move.

My wife didn't care for it (mainly because of the annoyance factor of Titus). After 5 episodes, we are definitely coming around, look forward to the rest.
