The TV Thread

Finally watched this and loved it! Got through Season 1 in almost one night, I couldn't stop watching. At times I had to look away though, wow. Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman are stellar.

O my God Christine you gotta get on the stick and catch up--I blew through the first 4 seasons the past couple months to be ready for the new season starting tomorrow!  Wait till you see the "Irish" season

There is a great NEW show on Cinemax:

STRIKEBACK
Its about British secret intelligence unit Section 20.  Check it out if you have the channel--great theme song by The Heavy too "Short Change Hero"  Caught the first 3 episodes and I'm hooked

I can't get into Sons Of Anarchy, it's like a white trash soap opera.
I caught some of the Anthony Bourdain Marathon yesterday, I've been behind on this season. Great stuff as usual! I didn't know Chernobyl was that fucked still. Very surreal to watch them walking around what looked like a post-apocalyptic wasteland out of some movie.
I recently finished season 5 of Dexter, what are everyone's thoughts? I personally liked it, favorite seasons are still 1, and 4.

I love SOA.  I got hooked from the start.  This show is really the only thing besides football I'll sit down and watch.

The Season 7 (!) premiere of How I Met Your Mother is tonight on CBS.  I've been watching this one since the beginning and think it's very good.  Any other fans on the board?

I really want to see this show. What's up with season one not being out on DVD yet? Usually with most shows the DVD is out a month before the new season starts.
Just started True Blood through Netflix, off to a good start so far.

Anyone watching any new shows this year?

Nothing spectacular that Ive seen, but Ive really been liking Revenge. I only started watching it because it was filmed in Southport, NC where I was at in August, but its pretty good actually and has me hooked, Madeleine Stowe looks to be deserving of an emmy, she's great as the antagonist which I can never remember her being in any of her movies.

I thought the American Horror Story pilot was solid and looks intriguing/creepy going forward. New episode tomorrow night. Definitely looks like a show that will leave you hanging episode to episode, and I cant get enough horror/scares this time of year.

My go-to late night show when Im buzzed has become Terra Nova. Cheesy, no doubt, but an entertaining guilty pleasure as well.

Other shows Ive seen:
Playboy Club - pretty bad, and already cancelled
Free Agents - pretty funny, but already cancelled sadly
New Girl - pretty meh, and not near as good as the show after it, Raising Hope, which   
    my be my favorite network comedy right now
Whitney - ads seemed funny, show isnt, but theyve marketed the fuck out of this so Id
    guess no way it gets cancelled. Ive seen enough of this girl to already be annoyed.
Last Man Standing - turned it on tonight when I was on the computer. Seemed like Home
    Improvement without Al Borland and Wilson and 3 daughters instead of 3 sons. OOF,
    but I guess everyone loves Tim Allen so Im sure this will last 10 seasons and
    contribute to his blow fund.


Just like Terra Nova has sucked me in (dinosores!!), Im also going to check out that Once Upon A Time show that I think starts this sunday or early next week. Im a sucker for fantasy shit like this, clearly.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

yeah I love terra nova.  it sucks so fucking bad but I fucking love it.  super cheesy, but love the dino-satisfaction.  been so busy with Breaking Bad, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Fringe, The Killing (finally watching it), the walking dead starts sunday, terra nova, bored to death started I think.  plus, if that's not enough you've got some mad ghost shows to watch.

Yeah, I cant see anyone thinking Terra Nova is actually a good show, but the fact that its Jurassic Park meets Lost meets Avatar and stays entertaining will probably keep it around for 5 seasons. Plus its so bad its awesome.

I really liked The Killing, but just so you arent disappointed with it, dont expect everything to be answered in the finale. Which has its positives and negatives, but season 2 has been greenlighted.

Im gonna start Breaking Bad very soon as the first 3 seasons are on netflix instant watch now. Also need to get around to Dexter and season 1 of Boardwalk is actually on my DVR. I'll certainly be tuning in for Walking Dead and will probably re-watch season 1 this week because its also on Netflix instant watch.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

homeland is pretty good so far but I've only watched the first episode. 

[mjk73]

Mark, Dragonboy.....you hear about this? And apparently TIE '90 will follow up. Holyfuck

Renowned filmmaker Shane Meadows follows up the explosive award-winning This Is England '86 with three new one-hour films.

Meadows picks up the action in the Christmas of 1988 as Lol struggles to cope with life as a single mother. Haunted by the devastating events that took place 18 months previously, she finds her reserves of strength ebbing away. With her soul mate Woody heartbroken from her betrayal and in self imposed exile from the gang, Lol also becomes increasingly isolated and alone.

They say Christmas is a time for forgiving and for forgetting, a time of love and laughter and joy ever after. But when all hope seems lost, what peace is there to be found? This is Christmas. This is England.

Really enjoying Revenge.  Didn't seem like it would be one that I could get into but I'm hooked!

American Horror Story is a bit creepy.  Not sure how they're going to keep this going but have enjoyed it so far.  I also can't get enough of this kind of stuff during this time of year.  Love Halloween!  Also can't wait for the new season of The Walking Dead!

Terranova seemed cool the first episode but I quickly lost interest.

Have always loved Dexter but last week's episode was boring.  Hope that it picks up.

Never been a Sons follower but I've seen a bunch of episdoes.  Would really like to get into this but have no time.

Person of Interest seems okay so far.  I will probably continue to DVR and watch when I have a break.
