MI-5/Spooks may very well be the most engaging show I've seen, or followed, this century. It's not without its share of odd gaps and weird character transitions, but god damn. Scenario front and center, strong characters without ever becoming dependent on them, genuinely strong content, this is absolutely brilliant.

did some cursory research on this one--had never heard of it--and am really intrigued. going to netflix the first disc and see how it goes i think.

The first three or so seasons are great. However, the dip in form thereafter coincides with
much of the original cast leaving the show (for greater things). The cast of those first three seasons really was fantastic - the absence of talent like Keeley Hawes, David Oyelowo and Matthew Macfadyen was quickly felt.

Started watching White Collar last week, I really like it. The two main characters work really well together, the writing is pretty decent. The chemistry between Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay really makes the show. I've heard people calling it bland but I don't really see it.
Honestly, I'm also pretty easy to please when it comes to TV, I enjoy watching shows that are flawed in one area but are still entertaining to me (e.g. The Big Bang Theory)

I find it pretty bland. Neal is an incredibly boring and unlikable character. The actor does the best he can with a crappy part but its not enough.

recently watched the last two episodes of Fraggle Rock, I vaguly remember the last episode from when I was a kid, but don't really recall ever seeing it. Awesome ending though...

For a while I worked through all of The Larry Sanders Show, which I enjoyed heavily. Then I moved onto Arrested Development (somewhat inspired to watch by the presence of Jeffrey Tambor), and now I've burned through most of that as well, with only a few episodes left.

Are they making that Arrested Development movie? Something tells me that I'm not going to be satisfied once I finish the show's third season.

I'm about halfway through Season 3 on Mad Men. I still have complaints about the storylines concerning Don's family. I hate Betty. I hate Sally. I hate Grandpa Gene. The only reason I keep watching the show is because the Sterling Cooper scenes are so amazing.

Half-way through season 2 of "mad men" i'm loving it. But i don't think i'm enjoying it as much as season 1. It's starting to pick up though with
betty finding about don / bobbies affair
.

Two things this season seems to be missing is a lack of focus on the
don draper / dick plotline
and there's not enough

He's so fucking pathetic I've grown a certain fondness for him :D . Still, thank god for Pete Richardson.


Began watching Veronica Mars S1. So far so good.

Finished mad men season 2 today. That was some excellent television, but overall i didn't like it as much as season 1.

Loving the direction they are taking with certain characters like ( peggy joan & campbell) and the don draper plot-line still continues to be fascinating, although i find the character to be weird in a way, there are times where i find him to be completely detestable, and yet there are many moments where i have a strange fondness for him, it's hard to describe, really.

Looking forward to renting season 3, when it releases here.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first season of Archer. I was kind of reticent to watch it when it first aired, but my brother who watches it said that it was hilarious and suggested that I give it a chance.

I'm happy I did. It's a very funny show with a great premise and a very good cast: Jessica Walter and Judy Greer of Arrested Development fame and Chris Parnell from SNL. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed AD -- it's not as well written or as funny as AD, but it's definitely worth a watch.

Battlestar Fucking Galactica. I had heard this was good, but I had no idea it was this awesome. I just finished season 2.5 last night. Can't wait to get into season 3 tonight.

Thanks to my best friend I am LTTPing Veronica Mars. Finished season one and have seasons two and three on my desk. Love the writing and the casting on the show, can't really think of anything I dislike and Kristen Bell is such a cutie.

Oh! Today is Tuesday! Got to watch Justified tonight.

Make up your own mind on how you feel about season 3/4, they are pretty polarising among fans (I love them, although season 3 is my least favourite season, it does start fantstically). I mean you have a guy with a freakin' Jack avatar telling you the show slips, yeah opinions man.

BURN.

I picked up Dexter Season 1 from my Blockbuster's closing sale, so I'm looking forward to diving into that, heard good things. Only unfortunate thing is it's not in the factory packaging, but each disc is in it's own DVD case. Still I got a good deal on it, and the packaging doesn't matter nearly as much as the content.

I myself discovered this show just lately and it really is great. I strongly recommend it for everybody who enjoys good drama with touch of comedy. I'm currently waiting for S4 BD release.

S1 of Dexter is still the best, its kinda sad that they could not duplicate or expand what made first season amazing.

Almost forgot about this show on A&E called The First 48. This show has apparently been on the air since 2004, and I am just now discovering how awesome and chilling it is. I'm addicted. I might have to snag the DVD sets.

I started watching 30 Rock, just finished season 2 and I love it. Probably my favorite sitcom so far, I mean the Amadeus parody alone was amazing. Or Liz and food. ("I don't know how, but you're gonna get me another sandwich. Or I'm gonna cut your face up so bad you'll have a chin! You'll all have chins!") And Dr. Spaceman. Or Jack's charity that gives tuxedos to homeless people. I could go on forever.

Rescue Me is good, although season 3 is way over-written in some places and annoys the fuck out of me. Season 4 backs down from the crazy, almost cartoonish bullshit that plagued season 3 and is generally pretty good. Haven't seen season 5 yet, it's on my list of things to do.

It's a great series. Some ups and downs, but great overall. The last few seasons are awesome, and the finale is amazing.

Going out tomorrow to buy Supernatural Season 4 and Breaking Bad Season 2. Looking forward to it.


In the meantime, I'm watching Deadwood Season 3. Completely awesome.
