  1. Bad promotion for this show. I heard once that you were doing your own show in a news brief I think and come to find out it's already happened.

  5. Good show, I enjoyed it a lot.
    One question, why would anyone take a "comment" from Steve Brandano (www.twitter.com/siriusstevieb) into account? He is a tool... I am sure I don't need to start mentioning all his lame "issues" about cougars, Ms USA, who to watch a comics movie, etc... the kid is a tool... And Kristen Wiig is freaking talented and hilarious!

  9. John, Please talk about the return of the amazing Sci Fi Channel Show, "Haven". The second season has unfortunately added a 'long lost wife' character for Haven's 'bad boy',Duke. BUT other than that, it's typical wonderful whimsical inspired storylines...but always with an eye on the big picture, aka 'The Cincinatti Kid'. It's wonderfully acted, the soundtrack music choices are inspired and hand picked Canadian undiscovered acts. The show feels like winter in the summer it puts a really sublime chill in my gut. Love it. The creators of this show are passionate about quality control and watching behind the scenes stuff and hearing audio file interviews on the program's website gives you insight into that. It's a show that is right up there with "Fringe" and it's not afraid to cast older folks. I'm so sick of shows populated by unrealistically wise 22 year olds with perfect bodies and teeth. Please spotlight Haven. It deserves attn. Watch the first season. It's super smart, creative, clever, humorous but not overly, there are high stakes. Not simplistic. Thanks. PS< i'm SUper furious that "Damages" is on Direct TV only. It's one of the greatest dramas on TV and it's truly disgusting that crap like "how I met your mother returns season after season and "Damages" (which is REALLY shot in NY) got booted from FX Channel. FX should've done more to keep that program. It's EPIC.

  10. last week on www I think you forgot
    Doc Cochran (Character)
    from "Deadwood" (2004)
    also your billing jenny hutt as a tv expert
    how can that be? no breaking bad? never seen the wire? come on

  11. can you please explain the billing of mrs. Hutt as a "TV expert" ?
    I have heard it in your promo for www several times. Then when I heard your show on several occasions and she admitted that she had never seen the Wire, and dose not like breaking bad. I 'm guessing that those are two shows jon hein would put in his all time top ten. what gives? I get it if you want to have a female voice on the show. but bill her as an expert thats just crazy talk
    ps. dont insult our intelligence because we love Tv and love talking about the great shows. she has no credibility after her admissions. just stop it ! to many voices with nothing to say and no opinions on the shows that are great.

  13. John,
    I want to thank you and the show for turning me onto AMC! Breaking Bad and Walking Dead are the best thing on TV. And I also heard about Shameless from the show. Any chance in a William H Macy interview? I wanted to get your opinion on a handful of series that I have enjoyed over the past couple of years. Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, Prison Break, and Sons of Anarchy. Would love to hear your comments.

    also..... Not in the credits favorites. Stuart and Will Wheaton from Big Bang

    You guys are great keep it up!
    Donnie in Indiana
