Can't wait for new episodes of Louie. I freaking love Louis CK. He is hysterical. It may seem wierd, but I have a huge crush on him. I want to be like that chick he met in the bar--- "You're so old!"   ;D

Watched the season premiere of Hoarders last night. Is anyone else strangely entranced by this show? I can't stop watching it. Will makes fun of me for frantically cleaning the house after each episode we watch, but I can't help myself...


Louie season 1 was hysterical, watched them all on Netflix. I overlooked it when it played on FX, looking forward to trying to catch season 2 as it airs. He's one of those comedians that I agree with his outlook on life in a lot of ways, like Larry David.
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

anybody see the new episodes of true blood yet?  the second one leaked on the net.  not a bad way to start off season 4.  I like all the mysterious magical stuff more than the lovey dovey bullshit.  the different realms stuff could take this show to a new level. 

almost done with season 1 of louie also.  so funny.

Second season premier of Louie (should be on On Demand now) was excellent, especially if you have kids.

The wife & I are pretty devout True Blood fans. I really enjoyed the 1st 2 seasons, not so much the 3rd (though it did have it's bright spots). I agree that the 1st episode of this season definitely opens the door for some awesomeness. It was cool to see that the fairy thingies can have a mean streak. Plus what happened during Sookie's absence is pretty cool/funny
Homer no function beer well without.

Damn, I feel like True Blood started like last January and starting on season 2.  I need to catch up on SO MANY shows.

I keep seeing new Breaking Bad in July and want to hit that up but there are so many good shows right now (compared to 10 years ago), its crazy..crazy good

I need to rewatch that first sequence but I think I read somewhere that those "fairies" ended up being trolls or something basically.  it seems like they're really trying to set it up to continue the storyline in multiple realms.  the witch/spirit realm is one, and then the place sookie was taken is another.   I heard godrich is coming back or something too, shits way sweeter than last season so far.  but then again that werewolf shit was pretty lame and there was A LOT of it in that season.   The necromancy shit has some serious potential.

Ohhhh, this show. It's like crack. It's so gritty and dirty and everyone sweats and bleeds and it's awesome-possum.

Anyone watch Louie? Louis C.K. kills me.

Have been meaning to start Breaking Bad...I have Season 1-2 burned for me and I have to carve out enough time to watch, because I know once I start I won't want to stop.

Also mourning the end of Fright Night Lights as the last season wraps up. (Yes, I'm lame and could just watch it on Netflix, but I'm not....one of the best shows on TV in the last few years IMO)

I know what youre saying, on sunday I was like "no more The Killing?", but I got hooked onto The Voice a month or so ago. Was bored on a saturday, tired, didnt feel like doing anything, and the best thing on TV in the afternoon was The Voice reruns on E. Never watched Idol in my life, but it seemed much more objective than that show and I watched like 8 hours worth that day, and since I devoted that much time to it, kind of felt obligated to see it thru. Season finale was tonight. The people who made the final 2, Dia Frampton and Javier Colon, struck me as the 2 best pretty early on so Im glad they made it to the final 2.

I didnt even recognize/know the original, but this cover blew me away and I thought it was the highlight of the season. The fact that she turned a Kanye song into this is remarkable.

yeah he was great, his show is so smart.  I love when he's talking to the therapist in episode 3. 

doctor: "do you think you're depressed because you're fat?"

Louis has been perfect this season.  :thumbsup:

"No Reservations" premiered tonight. Anthony Bourdain went to Cuba and every episode is top notch, but this one was particularly good. He's amazing. And I'd watch an entire hour of him just walking through city streets. Beautiful man.

No Reservations is always great.  Not so sure about his beauty, but I'll take your word for it.  I've become quite addicted to Locked Up Abroad - the wait for the "hand on shoulder" moment makes me jumpy.
I'm not saying it's easy...walking into sweet oblivion.

I'm so late to this, but I am obsessed with Californication. Just finished Season 3.
The ending was incredible, the music is awesome (obviously)..the action phenomenal. It's crazy. So sold on this, can't wait to see Season 4.
but come on...there's nothing sexy about poop. Nothing.  -bbill

I think I bailed after season 2, but because I didnt have Showtime for awhile and didnt want to start watching 4 without 3. Thought season 2 was every bit as good as one, if not better, thanks to the Ashby character. Of course Duchovny is great, but the bald guy's wife is the unsung greatness of the show.
