ABC's Suburgatory - Thread 1

[forg]

Solid 2nd ep

I really like Tessa and her dad a lot

And Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock is here

The 2nd episode is still hit-or-miss for me but I think it's really getting there. I love the many make-out scenes, how Tessa compared the boytoy to chips and how Tessa was compared to peanut brittle.

"Ladies, I would like to introduce everyone to our newest and only member with a member, George." (Tessa's father being introduced to the members of the PTA)

Tessa's Father: I promise not to hold my membership against you.

Gosh! I love episode 3. It's the best episode so far for me~!

[jbkayaker12]

I don't watch many TV shows but I finally watched Suburgatory. I love the show. My family an I reside in suburbia and I can relate to the show. I love suburbanites!!!!


That poor teenager in the show, she is a good reason why I have no intention of residing in the city.

I enjoyed the 3rd episode, George was funny in this episode! All the PTA scenes were goofy and I laughed when the moms had a collective gasp when George said the PTA is just a club

^^I love the show but it may need an A list star power if it wants to survive but overall, I will continue watching.

ABC Picks Up Revenge and Suburgatory For Full Seasons

ABC got down to business today, making its first two decisions of the fall season. Say hello to full seasons of lathery drama Revenge and fish-out-of-the-ocean-and-into-a-small-pond comedy Suburgatory! Expect both series to run a full 22 episodes.

Revenge and Suburgatory both passed the ratings test last night with ample performances. Sandwiched between The Middle and Modern Family, Suburgatory drew 8.75 million viewers and a 3.0 rating in the adult demo, just a tick down from last week. In the television world, losing just a tiny bit is considered a victory and anything in the neighborhood of a 3.0 for a new show is great. Revenge did the unthinkable and grew to a 2.7 rating from last week's 2.4. I bet ABC execs couldn't wait to push the "pickup" button when they saw that number.

Just a quick note about Suburgatory: It's surprisingly good. Do check it out. As for Revenge, our own Lily Sparks is definitely on board for the ride. Sounds like a soapy good time! Overall, the TV.com staff gives ABC a respectful golf clap for these decisions.

Happy Endings was also under observation last night. The show was renewed for a 13-episode second season last year after a stunted debut. It's a critical favorite that's been performing well, so ABC has ordered six more scripts. That's a good sign that there might be a happy ending in store for Happy Endings. Gee, I bet no one's ever used that line before.

Gusto ko talaga si Jane Levy. Ang ganda niya

I love Suburgatory but the the city girl is starting to get on my nerves only after three episodes. I love the father and some of the characters on the show. Funny but it needs star power otherwise the show might end up just a one season show.

George is really funny as the only member of the PTA with a member

:lol :

Now this line was so funny and sort of hot at the same time.



The show gives me that MTV's Awkward vibe. The female lead even does this first-person narration which sounds like Jenna. The lines are just as witty (or maybe more). It's not too concentric on the teen life though and the plot does a lot better.

Since there have been comparisons and I'm still having this W&G thing, the girl makes me think of a young Debra Messing. Then, the dumb jock six-pack neighbor looks like a younger brother of Chuck's Awesome aka Devon Woodcomb/Ryan McPartlin. Never thought I'd see Jeremy Sisto as a dad, a funny one at that. Sisto does comedy!

Great new comedy shows! Happy seeing these since the good old ones are not at the best of their seasons somewhat.

Oh Tessa! You can sit next to Dahlia. I thought you girls might want to gossip about school, boys, and birth control! -Dahlia's mom

Tragic is loading yourself up with so much mascara you can't blink! - Tessa

[delphic_oracle]

Hmm... Didn't like the recent ep so much. A little bland. Then again, I was sleepy last night when I saw it so I'll give it a go again later.

[jaded11]

same sentiment with delphic oracle...the recent ep was not so great for me...the pilot and second episode were far better...we'll see for the next episode...

I lauughed when Dalia was dreaming and perfect yung line ni Tessa that even in her sleep, she's still a bltch

[j5bata]

Ano kaya itsura ni Dalia bago siya ginawang retokada ni Dallas?

The show is like Malcom in the Middle-meets-Even Stevens-meets-Maybe It's Me-meets-Real Housewives of New York

[bitwise]

Tragic is loading yourself up with so much mascara you can't blink! - Tessa

I like the scene after this... when Dahlia actually "tried" to blink.

[CaRaMBa]

^That was so funny!
