Has anyone seen the unbelievable truth?(well Australians anyway, I doubt they would play it anywhere else). I find this show quite funny and some of the topics are good.

after her father.

ILoveFauns. I've seen an episode or two of The Unbelievable Truth. I enjoyed it but I think The Chaser's War of Everything was funnier (thankfully The Unbelievable Truth is less crude).

Just caught the last episode of Once Upon a Time ... well.
SpoilerI love a good shout-out, but i felt a bit overdosed this time. "Very bad form" (to the movie Hook) and "Let's go steal a compass" (to Leverage (:D)) i'm sure about, and i'm wondering if the name 'Neal Cassidy' is a reference to White Collar.
I don't really think it's a spoiler to discuss, but just to be on the safe side:
The last episode of Once Upon a Time had a LOT going on in it. There were about a dozen new elements they introduced. I was very glad to have an Emma-centric episode,
Does anybody watch Elementary? I think it's one of the best shows on TV (the writing and characterisation are definitely better than on OUAT, in my opinion), but no one seems to talk about it. I haven't seen BBC's Sherlock yet, though, so I'm not sure how it compares.

I completely forgot it was on last night, That isn't anything unusual though. Indeed, the hamster wheel is quite funny to.

Thank you to those who have discussed "Once Upon A Time" here - you peeked my interest and I watched the entire first season on Netflix and have been watching the new episodes as they are posted on ABC's website. Great show! Thanks for the heads up!
Further up and further in!!

Speaking of OUAT...I did enjoy tonight's episode. I like the character of Red and the extra development and screentime she was given.
Regarding this season's ongoing story arc and my speculation of how it might end:
Spoiler
Once they revealed that it was Henry and Aurora sharing a dream I wondered if that might be how they get Emma and Snow back to Storybrooke. The preview at the end of tonight's episode confirmed that, but added the obstacle of Cora. I can't help thinking that in the end Regina will have to choose between her mother and Henry (if he continues to be haunted by the dreams) and she'll choose Henry. It also offers her character a shot at redemption.
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

Regarding the above:
Spoiler
Wouldn't that be a no-brainer? Regina hates her mother; I've no doubt she'd choose Henry over her in a heartbeat. Now, the question is, does Cora pose enough threat to Henry, enough to make Regina drop her feud with the Charming family and work with them? They all share a common goal: keep Henry safe and away from Cora. Regina might still hate Snow and Emma, but I think she hates Cora more, and will do anything to keep Cora away from Henry, even if that means joining forces with Snow, Charming and Emma. And by joining forces, I mean genuinely working with them, with no ulterior motives. Parental love has been THE driving force of this show, and I've always said that Henry was going to be key to a lot of things, which is true, but different than I thought. Emma wouldn't have believed if it weren't for him, and if Henry never existed, there would be no chance of Emma, Snow and Regina making any sort of reconciliation. Emma and Charming did everything they did out of love for Emma, and Emma and Regina do everything they do out of love for Henry. Well, for Regina, it's mostly everything, but yeah. And now that we see that Henry has the ability to communicate with Aurora, that makes him even more important.
Gold, I'm not sure what to do with him. Hook is coming for him and that's going to be difficult, plus I'm sure Cora wouldn't mind a bit if he got taken out. He's got Belle on his side; we just need to see if Bae (when he shows up) is interested in saving, or condemning him.
I think that ultimately, we've seen the introduction of Cora and Widmore (sorry, I don't know his OuaT name! 
) as our new "baddies", with Gold and Regina becoming increasingly rehabilitated and making things right. Since I've grown to like them as characters, it would be nice to root for, not against them!

For comedy, I like iCarly and for drama, I like Firefly. Kaylee is awesome! I used to be a fan of the Disney Channel and outgrew it after Wizards of Waverly Place ended. Other than that I barely watch TV, just those.

Not to change the subject, but I was wondering if anyone's seen "Elementary" yet.
Based on the trailer, I thought it looked fairly good, but I was kinda concerned about content. I understand that Holmes & Watson are now played by a man and a woman, so while it's good that there's no room for dirty jokes like in BBC's Sherlock, I'm wondering if it'll have other, uh, themes. 
And overall - is it clean? 
Also, what's your clean rating on Upstairs, Downstairs? PBS Masterpiece is running the newer 2nd season online for a while and I was wondering if it was decent.

@ AC, I haven't seen Elementary myself, but from what I've heard the Holmes/Watson interaction is entirely platonic, not romantic. I can't vouch for the content in the rest of the show though, so I can't say if it's worth watching.
There's a new episode of Person of Interest tomorrow night, and I'm looking forward to it.
Spoiler
More Harold/Grace back-story, so YAY!
The main characters all seem to be meshing well this season, most especially the friendship between Reese and Finch. Fusco continues to be awesome and one of my favorite characters, and it's also worth noting that Carter is not as annoying as she was in season 1 (thank goodness for character development!).

Elementary is actually not that bad. I thought it looked silly when I first saw the preview and wasn't going to watch it ... but then I got bored. Johnny Lee Miller is fantastic as Holmes. Lucy Liu is still growing on me as Watson. Content-wise, I'd say you're safe, if you're concerned about language and relationships. So far, Holmes and Watson only work together; I wouldn't even call them friends just now. Otherwise, it is a murder mystery show.
Upstairs, Downstairs is pretty decent from what I remember. It's like Downton Abbey only in a different time period (right before World War II breaks out). I haven't caught up on the rest of season two, but I do believe there is an affair involved in a later plot.
Person of Interest is probably my favorite show ever. It's like Batman without the mask. 
"Masquerade" is one of my favorite episodes too, with the introduction of Bear. I honestly didn't think that they were going to keep him but I was super happy that they did. He's been making himself useful. And I think that the fact he speaks Dutch is just hilarious.

I'm going to start watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon did great with Firefly so I'm sure I'll like it. Plus I want to see a different role related to Sarah Michelle Gellar outside of the Scooby Doo movies.
