The Americans

Who's watching? Damn good show! John Boy stll can't act worth a crap though.

Good writing, good acting (mostly), well put together, very well cast, and lots of sex. You know, if you like that sort of thing.






Goodnight John Boy

We're following it. Enjoying it so far!

It's strange though that you find yourself pulling for the commies rather than the good guys! I heard that that was one of the gripes about the show when it first came out.

I don't want to say too much but how about what happened to that German assassin? Holy crap!  :o

It is getting better.  And yes, quite the mess.  I'm going to start worrying when the Apple Pie glasses show up ;)

Yeah, ole Maggie has a different accent now doesn't she?

I don't think that they missed too many spots when that bathroom got redecorated did they?

Here in Illinois we all call it pop. Well, except for some parts of southern Illinois but those folks act like they live in another state.    ;)

It is actually spelled with the russian hammer and sickle in place if the "c".
Good show though. Justified is still my favorite.

If you haven't already done so, you should check out Nick Searcy's (Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen) "Acting School" series of videos.
