Re: Television (no longer temporary)

Shogun is starting strong. I have reservations about the lead, but everyone else is good.

I cannot stand stugotz or most of the main show regulars. Lebatard himself is fine now that he's getting past his mental stuff a little bit. Will watch PTFO if certain people are on. Sarah Spain not on the ESPN leash is pretty funny. Katie Nolan and Mina Kimes obviously kill.

Brussels sprouts are perfectly fine if cooked properly and salted but are definitely better roasted w/garlic or any decent sauce, just like broccoli or asparagus.
