I watched the first two episodes of Eastbound & Down a few hours ago. I liked the first episode, but the second was much funnier. I think I'm going to like the series.

It was probably the most controversial thing about this season over on the official thread - lots of arguments between the haters and those who love the episode. I like Tim Goodman's breakdown of the episode.Jay Sosa said:

Im one episode from finishing season 1 of Mad Men and while i think its a good show and I loved the 1st episode, I dont get the hype.
What I'm watching lately:
Five episodes into Mad Men Season 1. Loving it, and it looks like it'll only get better.
Halfway through Bored to Death Season 1. The only other HBO comedies I have watched are E&D and FOTC, which are both better. But this is still great.
Got The Wire boxset for Christmas. Can't wait to start it.

I agree with this, but I definitely enjoyed the film more due to previous knowledge of the characters.StuBurns said:
I just watched High School of the Dead. It was, uh... interesting. I never thought I'd say this about anything, but I think it would've been better without all the T&A. Not because I'm offended by anime titties like some people - out of context, it probably would've been nice - but it just felt completely out of place in a show that was otherwise about a group of kids trying to survive a zombie apocalypse.
It's like, you have the two guys in the group looking out the window, watching people get eaten by zombies, and trying to get over the fact that any attempt to save them would likely result in their deaths; then, in the immediate next scene, you have the four girls of the group bathing together, and they start giggling and playing with each other's boobs. What? Is this the same show? That's just the most extreme example, the whole show isn't that bad, but you still have girls bouncing all over the place any time they move and the camera pulling in low for a panty shot at any opportunity. It's just really unnecessary, and hard to take the show seriously with that going on.
Other than that, though, it was an interesting enough zombie show, and not too full of anime-isms. I think it actually did a lot of stuff better than The Walking Dead in a similar amount of time (12 half-hour episodes vs. 6 hour-long episodes). I hope there's a second season coming, though, because it just kinda ended without any real closure.

I just started and finished watching both seasons of Pushing Daisies. Such an awesome show. Too bad it was canceled.
I am also watching Supernatural, starting at season 1. I sorta jumped in and watched season 6, so I figured I would go back to the beginning. I really wish it was on Netflix streaming. Getting discs suck.
I am finally watching/re-watching Psych. I've seen the first two seasons before, but decided to re-watch them and I just finished season 3 last night.

Mad Men Season 1
I'm also about 5 episodes in. It doesn't quite grab me right away as some other shows, but I do enjoy it. I can see why this show started a fashion trend. Don got me wanting to dress all professional now lol.

The more time you spend with both of those characters, the more sense it will make.
I just finished the first and only season of Terriers. Fun detective noir story with a satisfying conclusion. The chemistery between the two main characters is pretty fantastic, and Donal Logue is really at home in his role. Shame it had to get Rubicanned.
I am getting towards the end of S2 of Chuck which is very good. I have S3, but will probably be taking a break from the show for a bit. I have Damages S2, Firefly and Buffy S1 that I either got for Christmas or borrowed, so I'll probably do one of those before getting into S3.
Twin Peaks, there's actually a deal on the complete series today.besiktas1 said:Could do... I'm trying to persuade her to watch Deadwood, but she's not interested as it's not a whodunit and as soon as I said Wild West she shot it down
What else?
And maybe something Whedon, like Firefly or Dollhouse. They aren't whodunits but both have pretty vivid and expanding universes.

Any final ideas before I tell her to watch that?
No, he means The Prisoner.
Well, I assume he does.
Earlier today I finished Mad Men Season 1. I went into this show prepared to love it, but that hasn't happened yet. So much of it is cool and fun to watch, though. I love the characters, every single one. I love the costumes and the settings. I love the plots. But for some reason, it hasn't really connected with me yet. I'm betting that will happen somewhere in season 2, though.

Been rewatching all of Jericho with my lady. Such a good show, so good they cancelled it twice! :lol Watch it if you haven't! Awesome drama and action.

Season two did it for me. Beginning was a lot like s1, it just didn't caught my interest but for some reason I just kept watching. Towards the end of the season I noticed that I really can't wait what is going to happen in next episode and I was completely hooked on the show, I don't know at what point it happened but it did. I probably should watch the first season again because it really was underwhelming and it didn't have my complete attention but maybe re-watch will fix my opinion of s1.
Not that it's like LOST or Fringe at all, but I think Veronica Mars would be good as a whodunit suggestion. Also, I've been watching Damages lately and it has a kind of mystery angle to it with the dual storyline thing or whatever. But again they aren't really like LOST or Fringe.besiktas1 said:

Is it one overarching story or one a week? lol, will probably check hmv (UK) tonight, so I should really decide what I should get her...
On a side note: back to Seinfeld... again. For some reason I'm still watching it even though I said I'm done with it. Still not finding it amazing/really funny but I admit it's not shit. I still don't see what the hubub is about though. (I'm near the end of Season 3)
Also finding some inconsistency with the bald guys employment. One minute he's dating someone from work, next he's unemployed. etc. I don't know still not as bad as my Fringe WTF?!!!!! 0_o
First episode of season 2 Charlie was back. Mind was blown/wtf, couldn't concentrate on that episode. Google explained to me after it was a unaired episode but for them 40 minutes I didn't get it :lol
Can't wait for s3 to finish so I can start watching it.

Yeah, right? It did have a few more bad episodes than the other seasons, imo (too much focus on Liz Lemon's love life) but overall it was very strong, especially the last few episodes.RevoDS said:
I should finally start watching The Wire. I got the box set quite a while ago but I never really felt like watching it.. no idea why. D:
Also, I've been rewatching parts of seasons 1 & 2 of How I Met Your Mother over the last few days. Still enjoy it a lot. Some of my favorites:
Slap Bet: Hilarious, for the gif-worthy scenes of slapping alone. Also, for the word "premature slapulation".
Swarley: Bob Swarleymon. Need I say more? :lol
Going to add more as I watch the episodes.

I've watched the pilot episode of Community and I really liked it.
Making my way through the entire series of Dinosaurs. Awesome show.

Yes, you should. Your life will be improved, in an overall sense.
Well in Veronica Mars each season has an overarching plot (well season 3 has several multiple episode ones), but it still has weekly plots as well. But the overarching mystery for season 1 is really great. Definitely worth checking out. There is a large focus on high school kids if that is a deal-breaker.besiktas1 said:
Damages is basically like one big episode. Not really weekly plots. But the show basically shows you clips of this one part in time and then kind of flashes back for the bulk of the show to 6 months prior so you can figure out how they got there. Kind of neat, but not sure if it fits what you are looking for.
Also, I was very confused at that Fringe episode. I mean I figured it was an unaired episode after a bit, but it still threw me off when I first saw him in the ep.
