Louie is pretty damn funny

Rubicon series premiere tonight on AMC...2 hour special...I think it starts at 8PM EST

I typically despise reality shows, but somehow the only 4 Ive ever watched more than a few episodes, Im currently watching right now: Big Brother, Jersey Shore, Real World, and Last Comic Standing.

Anybody watching any of these?

LCS doesnt have the best stand up consistently, but I love stand up comedy, and there still has been plenty of laughs this season. Tommy Johnagin and Roy Wood Jr have been hilarious the last few weeks.

I got into Big Brother 2-3 years ago because I started watching Big Brother After Dark on SHO latenight. Much more interesting than the show and you get to see more of the strategizing and interactions. Plus the season that got me hooked, the houseguests were getting crazy drunk almost every night. I think the night this - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xau6cl_bb9-strip-show_sexy - I was hooked to Big Brother for life. Warning - its NSFW.

I cant think of the last season I watched Real World, at least 5 years ago, but I caught the season premiere and found most of the people interesting/entertaining and looked like there would be some fireworks confrontations. Im not disappointed thus far.

And Jersey Shore, is well, Jersey Shore. Premiere last week was pretty weak, and I hope half of every episode isnt the 3 women vs Angelina. Dumb they brought her back. Landmines and Grenades, baby  8-)

I finally started watching Burn Notice. Bruce Campbell rules in this, but then again, he always fucking rules!

Yes I too have been watching real world, jersey shore and a little big brother. It seems that while they are on, there's nothing else on that's as entertaining. I usually don't watch the real world but its in new Orleans this season and I'm gonna be hitting up the voodoo experience this Halloween (yes, solely for mmj)... But I've also been watching pawn stars, American pickers, and wipeout!!!! Dude these shows are friggin awesome!!!!! Please tell me someone else watches WipeOut...

I've been having fun catching up on [size=24]"WEEDS"![/size] (we only added the Showtime series of channels last year).  I'm currently into season 4 and the whole "runaway to the beach" vide is a little weird since I really enjoyed all that had transpired back in Agrestic/Majestic.  I'm glad to see Albert Brooks getting some work.

Watched The Roast of David Hasselhoff last night. I usually love the roasts, but this one was horrible. The roasters are not even trying anymore. Greg Giraldo was good as usual. But Lisa Lampanelli and Jeffrey Ross were bad, and they're usually the best.

I thought gilberts dis fest on pamela anderson was pretty hilarious.  not much else.  Greg Giraldo is a really hilarious dude for sure.

dual survival is a bad ass show.  I like the barefoot hippy cody dude.

Yeah, I love that show. It's better than Man, Woman, Wild. Have you ever seen that one? God is it annoying watching a couple survive. Honey, look out. Don't do that, baby. Shut up!

Ok we finished Dead Like Me as well as the movie they did. Excellent excellent show. Sad that it only was for 2 seasons.

what's dead like me about? do they wrap it up decent was it meant to be 2 seasons or did it get canceled?

It's about a group of 5 Grim Reapers. Their job is to release souls before they die tragic deaths and guide them to their entry point into the after life. It's very black, funny, witty. Sort of gets wrapped up at the end but they did the movie "5 years" after where they left off in the show and do some more wrap up and totally set it up if they want to do more episodes. There was talk of doing a 3rd season. it's from Showtime so language may be harsh for your virgin ears.

Of course I'd rather this had its own thread but this new season of Anthony Bourdain has been excellent!

Yep. The Rome one in B&W with the subtle splash of color on the food was outstanding.

I'm just starting to get into his show. I've watched a handful of his shows before, but never got into it, but now I'll watch it whenever it's on. I need to read his first book.

Any of you TV snobs watch Masterpiece Theatre on PBS? I've been tuning in for decades. Gotta love Inspector Morse and Lewis, plus Poirot, Marple and Sherlock Holmes (R.I.P. Jeremy Brett, the greatest of all the Sherlocks). ACL of course rules too!
