Tv Shows & Mini Series (Part 1)

I can state to a certantity that this is not a new Rocko we’re seeing.

On here it is.

carnivale is class,nick stahl is in it,was only on for one series though

Anyone seen V since it came back?

Must say I’m well impressed anyway.

Better than I expected but nothing amazing.

Started watching Deadwood this week at TvShack. Really good so far. Someone told me not to bother with the 3rd series though as it builds to something that never comes as it got cut. :blink:
New series of Breaking Bad is going pretty good too, highly recommend it.

Yea not bad at all, it no Battlestar Galctica.

Any of ye see John Adams another from HBO

(cough)

Have it downloaded from eztv. Sounds decent, will give it a shot and see how it goes.

Haven’t had internet for a few weeks or enough time to spend on TV shows as I had.
Things are calming down so I should be able to devote more time and get back to being the TV snob on here.

Good:
Breaking Bad - In the third season now and is shaping up very nicely.
Lost - The start of the series was mediocre but it has picked up lately and with 4 episodes to go it should be a cracking finale. Or a disaster.
The Big Bang Theory - The best comedy on TV at the moment.
30 Rock - Still very good, possibly getting a bit same-y.
Community - Great little show.
Flashforward - Not for those who expect rock solid acting or no plotholes, but still watchable.

Bad:
HIMYM - The latest series has been poor. With the exception of “The Playbook” there has been no good episodes. Some ok, others terrible.
Ted is the most annoying character on TV. Was close to giving up on it.

Weeds, Entourage[God help us] and True Blood[as long as Anna keeps getting them out, I’ll keep watching] will be back sooner or later.

Things I have been meaning to watch:
V[Started this, need to pick it back up]
Deadwood
Supernatural[Started this, need to pick it back up]
Fringe
The Pacific
Rescue Me

I think there are more but I can’t think of them.
Any recommendations?

I acquired the soundtrack to Freaks and Geeks[what a show].
There is 50+ songs on there. Of them there are 20+ that are cracking tunes.
Loads of cheesy 80s stuff from Van Halen, Rush, Ted Nugent, Styx and the like. Deadly.

Treme is from the maker of The Wire, its about post floods New Orleans. I despise Jazz so it could make it difficult for me.

30 Rock Top notch still, havent noticed any fall off.
Lost Cant believe there’s just 4 left at this point, so much to fill in still. The ending cant help but be a huge disappointment, but shur it was a decent ride.
V Far better than I expected but not sure its any good still, but tis decent so far and yer wan is a MILF.
BBT The interplay between Sheldon and Penny is the best thing about this, but theres a lot of other things going for it also. One of more decent comedies out there.
Community Fast becoming my favourite comedy on TV.
Supernatural My favourite show on TV. All hell is breaking loose (literally) right about now and its superb. You’ll love it, just get through season 1, Season 2 is where it all kicks off.
Fringe Pleasantly surprised by Fringe, thought it might just be the usual shit, but its got a decent story arc to it and the acting is quite good. A surprising hit for me.
Chuck Pure bubble gum, but Strahovski is fucking hot and its harmless fare.
Castle Harmless cop show made brilliant by Nathan Filion who should really just be put into everything on TV.

There’s others out there that I’m watching but cant think of them right now.

Deadwood is absolutely fucking brilliant.
Anyone hasn’t seen it yet is, to use Al’s words, a heathen cocksucker.

Watched early Deadwood, couldnt get into it all that much.

I did like Kings, but it got a hugely short knock, great to see McShane getting regular work.

I’m surprised at the appreciation for Lost from some of our more celebrated TV show watchers.

Looking for a new series to get into myself.

Liked True Blood in small doses, but Sookies vampire boyfriend annoys the hell out of me.

Yea he aint going nowhere either. Its a tough show to love.

Lost gets my apprciation because early doors I accepted that its bananas and that it will never make sense. After that I just went with it.

Also you’d go a long way to get a more enjoyable character than Desmond Hume. “See you in another life Brother”.

Here MBB what you think of the latest how I met your mother???

Crocko shit if you ask me anyway. Falling away badly.

Heard the 2nd series of Flashforward was cancelled over in the US. Should never have been commissioned one series is plenty.

himym is falling away badly, theyve used all the jokes. and ted needs his head kicked in. marshal is my favorite character bar when hes lovey dovey.

the office was heading down dodgy territory but the last few eps have been good enough

HIMYM has gone downhill alright, a logn way from the halcyon days of when Barney dominated. There was a cracking episode recently where Barney was found in the river and he told the story backwards, but any episode which revolves around Ted cant be discarded immediately. Whats your favourite so far btw, I would have to go for the Playbook or either of the Slapsgivings.

Ahem…

i liked ted mosby architect, mainly as ted was no where to be seen. the one with jenkins was ok. not many more jump out.
