20mins into Kings, and it is not what I expect. Still interesting though

It's fantastic. I was hooked to the end of the first season. The second was good, but it didn't feel as tense as the first. It's still very good, and Micheal C. Hall is fantastic (and so damn charming).

bad gameplay lol
Watched the first couple episodes of The Philanthropist the other day. Absolutely love it so far.
Of course it helps that I'm a big fan of James Purefoy.

Some of the soundtrack flourishes, not to mention the title, are a wonderful lift from Henry V (Shakespeare, Branagh). There is also a scene in which a soldier slides down into a trench, under heavy fire, that brilliantly recalls the conference about the mines at the siege of Harfleur. I think that's what sealed the deal.
By the time you are a few episodes in, the title music will have you choking up. You don't just empathise with the characters - you build camaraderie.

I'm onto season 4 of The Wire... goddamn fucking incredible. Best character writing in a TV show bar none. Best TV show ever? Yeah, i think so.
I also got my mum, dad and brother hooked and watching it due to my incessant praise. Most of our conversations have been The Wire related for the last few weeks. :lol Hopefully i can get my sister watching it at a later date.

lol, i hope i can get my mum and dad to watch it, when i start watching the first season next week. Since they like homicide life on street i'm sure they'll like it.Spotless Mind said:
And @ the above post, i wonder if it will compare to FNL for me, since that show bar none has the best character writing in a television drama ever.
I wish I could watch BoB for the first time again. It is still great on repeat viewings though.Duderz said:Started Band of Brothers tonight. I've heard nothing but great things, so I'm excited.
I'm currently watching Mad Men season 1 and I'm enjoying it so far. However sometimes I'm only interested in Don Draper as the other guys aren't that fascinating to me.

Wait! The show is already cancelled....? Fuck
I think I will continue anyway, really liked the first episode
PS: Burn in hell NBC! IN HELL!!!!
Dude, they aired 3 episodes. Moved it to Saturday. Aired 1 episode. Then aired the rest of the episodes like 3 months later. It was so fucking infuriating.Keyser Soze said:Wait! The show is already cancelled....? Fuck

Never "officially" canceled, though. It's just assumed.

I had no idea about the crazy scheduling stuff as I live in Ireland, and the show is only up to episode 5 (I started watching my DVR'd episodes today)
The show now airs at 1:15AM here though (moved from 10PM), so I guess that should have hinted something was not quite right

Watching drew carey now because I needed a comedy. Started the wire and it's good but it's also very slow
so I ask you gaf...should I
1- keep with the wire and finish the season Im on episode like 6 or 7
2- start sopranos
3- watch deadwood. I watched 2 episodes and it was ok. Kinda boring. After watching shows like entoruage and fnl. I'm spoiled by having shows that actually progress and pull me in.

30 ROCK is the obvious one
i thought maybe 21 JUMP STREET was also set in nyc but it was apparently a fictitious city
BROOKLYN BRIDGE was a show in the early nineties apparently
BROOKLYN SOUTH only had one season
. . . but it has to be 30 ROCK

I wouldn't bother with the following seasons. They made me hate the show, and I really enjoyed the first season.

Finished "Freaks and Geeks" recently. So awesome. About halfway through Undeclared right now. Not quite as awesome.
Also just finished Season 3 of the Wire. This is one of the few shows that has actually lived up to the hype.

Season 3 of Spongebob. Since my cable box isn't hooked up, I've been relying on Netflix for stuff to watch.
I've been watching On Thin Ice, it's about James Cracknell and Ben Fogle attempt to race to the South Pole.

Jason Seigel is awesome in it, but other than him I find the rest of the cast to be pretty lame. Even Rogen.

I just finished the one and only season of Freaks and Geeks and absolutely loved it. I had seen a couple of the episodes here and there beforehand but to piece it all together was a great TV watching experience. Great show, but sad to see so much potential unfulfilled. Bill and Lindsey will always have a special place in my TV heart.
Currently I am about 8 episodes in to the first season of Sports Night. Another one of those shows that I watched some when it originally aired, so I knew I was going to like it. However, I also forgot how great this show was, and am only anticipating it getting better.
