What do you think? Are you looking forward to any of these premieres?
FX has some amazing shows….SOA, Justified, The American’s to name a few…The only good part of SOA season ending, is knowing Justified starts soon after…Smart folks at FX.
Absolutely love Justified, every season is fresh, smart and full of great sarcastic humor…in the midst of the most compromising situations…Hope it returns for many more years..
Chozen….gay, white rapper fresh out of prison…..really??? Is this the best we can do nowadays for entertainment? It’s truly hard anymore to find something worth watching on TV. And why do so many new shows coming out have to have GAY overtones? Just because the actor is gay doesn’t mean the show has to evolve around the gay community. We aren’t all gay, now, are we??? Although, I do enjoy watching Eric Stonestreet on Modern Family….he’s a scream. And straight!
Can’t wait for the Americans!!!! I love that show!
