For some reason, I got goosebumps seeing Sundays fall line-up.

6 P.M. - NFL Post Game

That's all I needed to see. Oh, how I miss football...

They aired the cleaveland show sping off quite awhile back, Im surprised theyre picking it up, I thought it was pretty lame.

**acrozier22** · 05-18-2009, 06:47 PM

24 season finale starts in 13 minutes!!!

The brass at Fox apparently loved it. They've already given it a second season.

**BryceC** · 05-19-2009, 07:52 AM

Carl Weathers lives!

Edit: I'm looking foward to Glee too. I hope I get a chance to see it tonight.

Did King of the Hill get canceled?

So you 2 were the people that have been keeping that show on the air? I don't think I have ever met anybody who has watched and enjoyed that show before.

Did you see this weeks KOTH? It was the season/series finale. We learned Boomhauer's first name.

Nope. Haven't watched it yet. Been running around the country with NCAA Regional and World Series Softball. Heading home tonight and plan to get caught up on the DVR.

King of the Hill was a great show. BTW, what was his first name?

**Clone5** · 05-19-2009, 12:23 PM

I am a huge King of the Hill Fan and so are all of my roommates. I hope The Cleveland Show is more like Family Guy than American Dad, American Dad is borderline unwatchable. I'm not sure why they moved Fringe to Thursday nights, I wish they would put House and Fringe back to back.
