Good TVeets

maskedscheduler : COMCAST/NBCU announcement: Guess we'll find out how many Chairpersons it takes to screw in a lightbulb.

franklinavenue : Wish Steve Burke would have announced this like Oprah: "And you get a chairmanship! And you get a chairmanship! And YOU get a chairmanship!"

iwantmedia : NBC Universal exiting boss Jeff Zucker sobbing at staff town-hall meetings.
BobbyRiversTV : Did any Black actors offer him a tissue?

New: Follow Good TVeets.



zhandlen : NBC has a show coming out in January called Perfect Couples. Just looking at the ad makes me want to punch it.

tvoti : I'm pleased NBC is Green just means, "Everybody do a throwaway joke about environmentalism this year."

EricOnMedia : Is the best time slot for the CIA to run a recruitment commercial during Community?
televisionary : Conspiracy theories? That's what we thought...

HitFixDaniel : Dunno know if tonight's Community topped the '61 Yankees, but it was better than Pres. Andrew Jackson.

jmittell : OK, @danharmon - you win. Tonight's #Community did cure cancer.

theshoresofme : Must add "Would that this [object] were a time [object]" to regular vocabulary. #Community

zhandlen : Okay, are there any comedies currently airing that can stand up to #Community right now? It's at Perfect Simpsons quality levels.

bbsting120 : Twitter's reaction to this season of #Community every week: New Best episode EVER!

danieltwalters : See, if #Rubicon had been like this, people would have watched it. #Community.

tvoti : I'm tempted to call this one of my favorite comedic setpieces in the history of television. Well played, Community.

inessentials : Working with Twitter open while #Community is on is like the sad-sack kid staring out the window at the children playing in the yard.

EnergyTanks : Community and Fringe are ripping through episode after episode like they've never heard of mediocrity. #SealofApproval

offcolortv : Well, first I googled pilonidal cyst and then naturally, I google IMAGE searched it. So ... thanks for THAT, #30Rock.

FrankAngones : In this big crazy world, you're either a Pete Hornberger man, or a Lutz man. #30rock

hutchmo : Maybe I should have majored in Television Studies at Kentucky Mtn. Bible College. #30Rock

mattzollerseitz : Watched Gwyneth ep of Glee. Fire Will, hire the sub. Will's character is mangled beyond repair anyway. Might as well start afresh.

JustinFowler : I think part of what makes The Mentalist so successful is that it's such a traditional *mystery* show, as opposed to a crime procedural. It has the trappings of other CBS procedurals, but it usually ends with Jane in a big reveal scene straight out of an Agatha Christie book.

weinmanj : The least-watched comedy on ABC is Cougar Town yet according to Ratings That Count it's the second-highest rated. #MyHeadHurts

franklinavenue : Exclusive: Kelsey Grammer to play Chicago mayor in "Boss," currently in development from Gus Van Sant at Starz: http://ow.ly/3cfjZ
HitFixDaniel : I'm amazed by how few of those words in that sentence make any sense when combined together.

windsprints : ExtraTV said that MerDer will get married for real.
shondarhimes : ExtraTV might be telling y'all some lies.

JustinFowler : I like to imagine that for every episode of the X-Files we see, there are 100 episodes we don't in which Scully's right and Mulder's wrong.
weinmanj : Similarly my father explained we don't see the episodes where Hamilton Burger convicts the people Perry Mason got to confess.

BrentPiaskoski : If Terriers was a woman, I'd cheat on The Good Wife with it. #terriers

ShawnRyanTV : Great #Terriers ratings news. Last night was up more than 50% in demo from last week. Up more than 30% in Total Viewers! Thanks to all the critics and fans who've been so Messianic about convincing people to watch #Terriers It's appreciated and it's working.
stamos : Was it the haikus?!
sutterink : awesome news. and a great episode for more folks to be watching. sweet and funny. you and ted have hit a stride, man. congrats.
ShawnRyanTV : Riding in your wake, brother.

jmonjo : You know what might be the most refreshing thing about Terriers? It didn't beat the whole Zeitman/Montague arc into the ground. A lesser show would have drizzled it out over 13 episodes, with a handful of cliffhangers, and given it way too much focus. But Terriers put its money where its mouth is, took some time off, told character-driven stand-alones that give the season a mosaic feel.

MartyMcKee : This week's #TERRIERS had the biggest horseshit plot twist since the Iceman in ANOTHER 48 HRS. Where's my TV brick when I need it?? That's not counting the first horseshit coincidence on #TERRIERS-an excellent show w/its first dog (heh, see what I did there?)

heather_muse : I think at this point, I will never watch Terriers because everyone keeps insisting I watch Terriers. #contrarian #watchedthepilot

TravisHines21 : Amazing episode. Please tell FX I will kick a kitten if they cancel #Terriers.
ShawnRyanTV : He's serious about the kitten, FX!!!!

badgate : First 3 days of his second week Conan averaging 1.825 million viewers, a drop of 44% from first 3 days of week one of 3.23 million viewers.

fymaxwell : The current late nite hosts never take vacations, denying us guest hosts. Carson gave us Shandling, Rivers; Leno gives us Leno & more Leno.

ITveee : Can someone call my mom and break the 'CBS canceled Medium' news for me? Lets just say it didn't go over well last time Meduim was canceled. ... Me: "They canceled Medium." Mom: "What?! First Ghost Whisperer, now Medium?! Soon there won't be anything left to watch on tv!" - Oh, mom.

ApocalypseHow : Bristol Palin & The Situation do safe-sex PSA. In the next ad, Charlie Sheen & the Ebola monkey. http://bit.ly/9ytse1

sutterink : ah...feel better. thanks twitter. canceled the shrink appointment. going to the gym to hit shit. all good. [Editor's note: the confessional tweet that preceded this was deleted. Twitter-client privilege invoked, I guess]

poniewozik : Also working on Worst TV of the Year preliminary list. Your nominations?
televisionary : The broadcast nets' entire new fall lineup?

poniewozik : Side note: Worst Shows of the Year is reliably the most popular post of year at Tuned In. Which oddly affirms my faith in humanity.
danieltwalters : Glee should be on both the Best and the Worst list.

JuddApatow :  On CNN they now show funny home videos of dirt bikers face planting like it is light hearted news. It is Ron Burgundy & the squirrel time. ... The CNN anchors are oddly soft. There is no remnant of hard news guys of the past. They could host entertainment tonight and fit right in.

JimHalterman : How do you make a Sexiest Man Alive special boring as hell? Cast a Kardashian as the host. *YAWN*

loganpoppy : Bristol should pay homage to her Mom and quit right in the middle of her next #DWTS dance.

JohnFugelsang : The one thing 'Parker/Spitzer' needs is a live giant elephant on set that nobody ever mentions.

ditzkoff : This VF.com interview gone awry w/Isabella Rossellini on her animal sex series should be a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode ~http://bit.ly/b8NwKG

julieplec : Friday Night Lights = 42 minutes of bliss. Thank the tv gods for such a beautiful gift.

danieltwalters : The new Human Target theme is a mess.
MartyMcKee : I hated the old one. A TV theme you can't hum is a failure.

HitFixDaniel : If you cross-bred Amy Acker with a VERY tall mouse, the result would be Ann from ANTM.
