Hopefully the rest of the season is up to the show's old standards.

As it stands, I found the whole Frank and the whore to be acceptable, funny, but a little eye-roll worthy. The Jersey Shore one was solid material in my book. And Frank's children modeling pageant was kind of lackluster...

I'm still ready for more.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is still good I reckon. I quite liked the hooker episode and the Jersey Shore one was good as well.

American The Office is a much bigger disappointment. The new season is still fun, but it feels like the series has gone from laughs to chuckles.

Has anyone started watching this?

It really appeals to me but I haven't been able to watch it as I can't seem to get it over here.

Both of those were great, but there's been a good amount of stinkers too.

I've been watching 2 point 4 children.

It's funny that you say that because I've always felt that the show actually changed a lot after the first season, in a bad way, both stylistically and in terms of not being as funny.

For me, I thought the show only got better after season one. My favourite episode so far I think would be Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person which I believe was season 3. It's also the episode where Charlie comes up with his Night Man/Day Man songs. Great stuff

The start of the latest Breaking Bad season was kind of slow, but the second half was brilliant.

Well they were forced to change it up. I remember an interview with them where they said the idea at the start was to do shows on major issues (racism, abortion, child molestation, cancer, etc.), but there's only so many that you can do so you have to change it up at some point. When you look at almost any other show on TV, you'll see a major decline in quality. While the first season is still my favourite (along with season 3), I think they've done a hell of a job keeping it consistently funny.
