Ughhhhhhhhhhhh blows my mind how fucking amazing King of the Hill is. Season 7 episode 21, god damn amazing!!!!! Boomhauer and Bill nursing a tripping pigeon back to sobriety while listening to Indian music and incense candles.

My number 1 animated series, and in my top 3 best shows ever.

 

[Fjordson]

I'm about to finish the first season of Justified. Been powering through it over the last few days. Oh man! Olyphant in top form, plus Goggins and Natalie Zea(!). I love this show. Can't wait to get up to speed with season two.

Great show. Second to Simpsons for me. I really stopped liking it though after Lucky became main character, he was annoying as hell.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Eh im just about done with season 7, going backwards from season 13. Lucky was only really lead in a half dozen eps if that. I didn't mind him, pretty funny character along with his buddies.

Can someone help prioritize my list of shows to watch?

Shows I'm interested in:

Pushing Daisy
Deadwood
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Freaks and Geeks
Friday Night Lights
It's Sunny in Philadelphia

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Deadwood and Breaking bad would be at the top of my list since they are the only 2 i have seen at the moment. Both are godly though. Go Deadwood fist and then Breaking Bad...... if you are lucky you might be done in time for the new season of BB.

 

[Salazar]

Deadwood first is a good call.

 

[hamchan]

Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Deadwood
Friday Night Lights
It's Sunny in Philadelphia
Freaks and Geeks
Pushing Daisy

There. Just cause Breaking Bad and Mad Men are still ongoing, you should finish them off before the new seasons. The rest are all good but since they're done you can just take your time with them. Oh and Always Sunny is great too but it's not a show you absolutely need to catch every week imo.

 

[Blablurn]

i'm about to finish season 1 of how i met your mother. only watched the newer seasons so far.

but yeah, even the beginning is great. looking forward to the rest.

Going back i thought the first season had some shockers.............. any ep with "Bro" lol, it's like "come the fuck on!, even bro's don't say it this much!"

 

[RepairmanJack]

Just finished watching Sons of Anarchy S3. WOW! best season finale ever.

And the music from the show is just great.

Great show! Can't wait for next season. From what I remember though the people in the SOA thread were not fans of the music of the show, but I agree with you I like it.

Wow, you have some great stuff to look forward to!

I would watch probably watch Freaks and Geeks first since it had such a short run. All of those are great, though.

 

[DieNgamers]

Hey ho, I've been looking for some entertainment for a while now! recently I loved:

Dr Who
Breaking Bad
Firefly

All very unique series with a huge entertainment factor! I also don't ike sitcoms or anything like that. With the series mentioned above it's always the stories and the drama, high scale or small scale, that gets me! What should I watch next?

I'm mildly interested in The Wire and Madmen. I think at one point I tried to get into both of them but I wasn't in the mood for that kind of stuff.

 

[The Librarian]

Started a rewatch of Battlestar Galactica tonight. So say we all!

I feel comedies are not a high priority, but that's just my taste. Also I have not seen Freaks and Geeks. I also think the shows that are done are the ones you should watch first. You can take your time with them. And then by the time you're done watching the finished shows, even more episodes of Breaking Bad and Mad Men will be available to you, and you won't have to wait week after week.

A few random items for this Friday:

- First off, Tim Goodman has revived his TV Power Rankings over at The Hollywood Reporter. It's a bit of fun that hopefully will inspire some debate. More discussion of why he picked the shows he did (along with some minor spoilers) via the link.

1. Justified
2. 30 Rock
3. Raising Hope
4. Community
5. Shameless
6. Lights Out
7. Archer
8. Modern Family
9. Episodes
10. Parenthood
11. Parks and Recreation

These rankings are based on creative performance for scripted series from week to week. (Unscripted series can make the list, but there's a bias here for scripted material, which is inherently more artistic.) A strong episode makes you rise, a tepid one makes you slip. Several bad ones and you're off the list. It also hurts to have a rerun or two (It should probably go without saying, but a particular show needs to be on the air to make the list -- not on hiatus or between seasons). So the writing, acting, directing, humor, pathos or whatever better be excellent each week.

- NY Magazine put together their Anticipation Index for Television. "Rankings are based on the volume of related Twitter and blog activity. Only future events are included."

- Last, Starz is showing a sneak peek of Camelot this evening after the Spartacus season finale. I thought the trailer was pretty weak, but Maureen Ryan still put together a list of Five Reasons to Check Out the 'Camelot' Sneak Peek. At the very least it has Eva Green and James Purefoy.

 

[Magnus]

Blitzed through Spartacus (both series) over the last two weeks. I definitely don't have the stomach for a couple of the more gruesome scenes, but man, what a show. After the first couple episodes of Blood and Sand languished in some kind of soap opera dimension of crap, the show just took on this magnanimous life filled with rich moments.

Watching the fifth and penultimate episode of Gods of the Arena now. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Zeliard]

Is it better to go through Blood and Sand or Gods of the Arena first?

 

[Cornballer]

Is it better to go through Blood and Sand or Gods of the Arena first?

Watch Blood & Sand first. It'll make more sense. If, for some reason, you want to watch Gods of the Arena first, make sure you skip the "previously" feature at the beginning because it spoils the entirety of Blood and Sand.

 

[Magnus]

Oh, Blood and Sand first for sure. It's just designed to be watched that way. Lots of nice little nods in Gods of the Arena to the original series, in true prequel fashion.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yeah B&S first then GOTA.

Watched King of the Hill season 1 ep 5. They where making Hank out as an angry character.

Hank watching TV

TV Guy: "Now where going to turn this steak."
Hank looking pissed off and yelling at TV: "NO!, TURN THE OTHER ONE!"

 

[beelzebozo]

unironically enjoying old episodes of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES every morning lately while i eat my oatmeal.

has anyone ever noticed that the dynamic between shredder and krang is almost exactly the same as the dynamic between lord zed and rita on POWER RANGERS?

the show is a really great balance of action and comedy. and the turtle gadgetry on the show is also really fun and impressive, and i remember it being very enjoyable to me as a kid. it's probably designed from the get-go to stimulate more toy sales, but who cares? when they fly in on that turtle blimp, something in me sings.

great show.

 

[FleaTheMagician]

What do you guys think about Raising Hope and Traffic light? I'm not sold yet.

 

[CrazyDude]

I have been watching the Sopranos lately, and I am surprised at how much much I like it. I was expecting something a lot worse, maybe I thought that a modern mob family would not work.

I just started "Episodes", which I"m really enjoying.

Anything else from the past few years?

Rewatched some stuff with my girlfriend:

Firefly (and then Serenity of course)
The IT Crowd
Community (we're catching up to the current episodes quickly)

I think Raising hope is kind of hilarious.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Been watching a ton of SVU lately, and something is bugging me.

Cacy Novak :

Spoiler

is one episode she is a Stock broker who took part in the rape and murder of a male stripper, and in season 5+ she is the ADA. I was really confused. Did they ever explain this? Is there an episode in between that clears this up? just seems weird.

 

[dorkimoe]

Gonna start firefly for the first time ever after all the hype


The last episode of traffic light was pretty awesome

Same actress, different role ("Amelia Chase" in that episode). You'll notice this happen numerous times throughout L&O, although it's usually with young supporting actors who are brought back for an episode after they're grown a bit and not as likely to be recognized by viewers.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Breaking Bad is a MUST watch.

 

[Mifune]

Two episodes into Season Three of Breaking Bad.

Holy

Spoiler

rooftop pizza!

 

[JLG-]

I got up to "Fly" on Breaking Bad season 3 and stopped watching. I really need to catch up before season 4 comes along. When will the dvd be out?

Dont think there is a date for it yet? Should be soon considering Season 4 is going to start in the summer.

That "Fly" episode was a good filler episode to save budget for the nothing short of EPIC finale.

 

[bigmit3737]

Party Down and Parks & Recreation

Alright, will look into these two.

Thank you, and thanks to the other poster who also mentioned Party Down.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Season 4 of Breaking Bad only started filming a few weeks ago so it wont be showing any time soon.

The Law & Order shows do this sometimes. The same people will play multiple roles. Not usually as ridiculous as with Casey Novak though. I believe Annie Parisse played a role in a random episode of regular L&O and then she became ADA Alexandria Borgia later on. Just like with Casey Novak. It's kind of weird.

 

[big ander]

What do you guys think about Raising Hope and Traffic light? I'm not sold yet.

Hope is the biggest surprise of the year and the best new network comedy of the 2010-2011 season.
Traffic Light has been okay to good. It's improving week-to-week, so I hope that continues.

Dont think there is a date for it yet? Should be soon considering Season 4 is going to start in the summer.

July.
And Fly is fucking awesome.

Rewatched Stargate SG-1 recently. Best sci-fi show yet, and longest one too with 10 seasons. Cast just has a lot of chemistry with each other and the recurring characters.
