It's pretty good
I think I've rewatched the whole series 3 times now...wonder how long before my next rewatch.

I would but the cast is obnoxious. The blonde girl from that molested Brett on Flight of the Conchords and the Wayans are alright. Everyone else sucks.

Season 3 of Arrested Development
So funny!
Still need to finish off Firefly, Fringe S3 & Generation Kill.

This makes me sad
The first season of the show wasn't all that great at first but it gets much better, as does the show in later seasons. I love the cast at this point. Oh well.
Wait until episode 10. Shit is even crazier in that episode. And basically gets more and more crazy until the end of season 5.
Finished Damages.
Nice show for what it is. The added swearing after season 4 was a bit overkill (though it makes sense in that case) but no real bad things to say about it really. Enjoyed my time with it a lot. Weirdly enough I'd consider the last season to be one of the worst - still good though.
Ellen gets all kinds of cuter as time passes on too!

Been making my way through season one of 24, and I think watching the episodes in bunches like I've been doing is way more entertaining than if I'd been following along during it's run on TV. There's a "just one more episode" thing happening here mixed with the real time format of the show that makes it perfect for blazing through episodes.
It definitely has that. I watched seasons 1-5 on DVD in 2 or 3 or 4 episode chunks. Seasons 6+7 got rough watching week to week and I eventually gave up in season 8. Still need to finish.

Just finished A Touch of Cloth.
Was pretty skeptical of it after watching the trailer, but a friend insisted that I see it and boy was he right. Much funnier than I was expecting, with only a few weak gags near the beginning. And while having a background in British television/culture helps, I don't think it's essential.
Even if it's not someone's particular cup of tea it's only two episodes, so not a huge investment in time.

Finally started Battlestar Galactica. Watched the mini series plus the first five episodes of season 1. Good stuff. I'm already starting to like the characters.
Coming off of Star Trek and Babylon 5, it's not hard for me to enjoy this type of show.

Best tv soundtrack of all time too. It gets better and better. Season 3's especially can stand up to some of my favourite film scores even
I just finished the first four seasons of Sons of Anarchy. It's a fun and enjoyable show but hooly shit this has the worst season finales of all time. Absolutely every season finale of this show ends up with some bullshit convenient copout to set up the next season. It's now literally led to such lowered stakes for these characters that I'm not even worried for them anymore. Get writers with balls please

Been watching Oz for the first time in like 10 years. This was the show that got me started on HBO series way back then. It's definitely pretty dated now. A lot of the writing is cheesy and the acting is pretty inconsistent, but it's still awesome and really addictive. The internet needs more Adebisi gifs.
Sepinwall's book pushed me to start watching this show again actually, after this i'll probably watch The Sopranos and then maybe Six Feet Under because I haven't seen those in a really long time either

Been rewatching Malcolm in the Middle since that thread popped up last week

Just finished watching Showtime's United States of Tara (it's on Netflix!). I thought it was a really great show. Toni Collette is just phenomenal, flawlessly juggling 3+ (very different) characters in every episode, and the supporting cast is quite good too (outside of John Corbett *shudder*). I thought the first season struck a good balance between comedy and drama, with the second season leaning a little more on the comedy side of things, and the third season leaning more towards drama, and though I found the tonal shifts to be a little jarring, each season ultimately worked well in its own right. Dissociative Identity Disorder is a fascinating subject for a TV show (or movie) to be based around, and I think the show handled the material well, taking the subject seriously and not just using it superficially as a background for a dramedy.
The show was cancelled in it's third season, but the season finale worked exceptionally well as a series finale.
I definitely recommend it.

Been watching some of the shows I've been putting off for a while:
Episodes in the middle of season two, liking it so far. Season one was surprisingly good, the show has kept quality. The best thing about it are the characters, especially Matt and Carol.
House didn't finish S8 at the time, still have 9 episodes to go. I guess it'll serve for some nostalgia. The season is better than the couple last ones, from what I can rememeber.
Game of Thrones have about 4 episodes to see. And about 8 Suits episodes. Both are lovely, lovely shows. GoT could be better, though.
After I'm caught up with these 4, I'll start Boardwalk Empire (even if I know who's the major character that dies
), or Mad Men, which I have always disliked and haven't been able to get into, but I'm willing to give it another shot.

I really hated S1 of 24, and then I started to love it after the first season.
Rewatching AD for the x time.
So great..a bit embarrassed It took me so long to get some of the obvious jokes like when Michael plans to confess his feelings to Martha, the phone rings, she picks up and says "Job has been stabbed in the back". So goddamn genius.
And almost made it though an entire minute of 2 broke girls and Happy Endings. Almost.
A trick is something a whore does for money.
Oh and the first Martha is the hottest one.

Episode 3 of Luck was a huge snooze fest.

American Horror Story.
Yum. What a total amalgamation of every horror trope ever. It's just two seasons of "let's throw shit at the wall, and use ALL of it!"
It's just ridiculous scene after ridiculous scene.

There was/is something so soothing about that show. It just makes real world problems dissolve as you watch JD and Turks antics. Even when they deal with deep shit, the show just handles the drama as well as the comedy.
The Dr. Cox/JD episodes were great.

So was the pilot. That is as far as I got.

Just finished season one. It's terrible, weird and crazy but oddly compelling.
make sure you watch episode four. it's the first great one since the pilot, and the race scene in particular is amazing.
i like episode three though. the scene where the group of gamblers get the horse is wonderful.
Finished season 6 of Burn Notice. Probably my favorite season since the beginning. Really looking forward to Season 7.
Recently started the 3rd season of The Wire. Fantastic, fantastic show. I understand the hype I read before starting it. Everytime Idris Elba is on screen is reminds me of the wait for Luther to return.
Starting The X-Files from the beginning with my fiancee who's never seen most of the episodes. It was my favorite show growing up so I've seen all of them multiple times, but still enjoy them. Can't believe it's almost 20 years old.
And Fringe. Oh, glorious Fringe. So sad it's coming to an end, but it is hard to complain about getting 5 seasons. Luckily it's going out with a bang.

Sad that Merlin is one episode away from the end
Like, actually ending? Forever?
That show has been on my list to watch for a long time but not interested in it enough untill it would have eneded. If that makes any sense.

I don't know how to describe it. I feel like calling it a standard trainwreck in slow motion isn't somehow doing it justice. It's just like a series of "that just happened".

I've been enjoying Burn Notice lately. It's basically Grand Theft Auto the TV show.
If you're sad now, when you actually finish that series finale you will be...more sad.

You watching 1 episode a day or something?
Watched Deadwood as a whole and it became one of my favourite shows ever. So tight and packed with meaty writing and characters. A lot of humanity too which is something that's missing from most modern tv-shows imo.
Aso started Breaking Bad. It's a weird show for sure. So far enjoying it quite a bit.

Watching season one of New Girl.
As expected, the show started off terribly, but I had been told that it picks up. Well I think I've hit that point at around episode 5. The show had absolutely no funny moments prior to that though. Weird.
Also tried out It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Not enjoying it at all really, just seems like a bad show in most aspects, bad characters, poor stories, shit jokes. The acting is good though, considering the quality of the writing.

I'll probably regret being this honest, but I just watched the first episode of the second season of Sherlock. It was so good that I cried at the end

Is that just because you're super busy or something? Luck, at least in my opinion, is the type of show that would really benefit from watching in larger chunks.
