Exactly true. The first half of S2 was so boring that I stopped watching for months. But then I got back into it and that second half is totally bananas, some incredibly tense telly.
Speaking of awesome telly, I have been rewatching Cracker for the first time since I was a nipper (I can't believe I used to watch this with my mum, she was a bad parent) and it's incredible. For a 20 year old show it's really modern in it's subtlety and the pacing of the arcs. Super gripping and dark stuff too, just watched the three parter with Robert Carlyle and forgot just how awesome he used to be, and how bad his teeth were. It's oddly relevant too, that arc was all about Hillsborough and the Sun.
OOOOO, Success!
I was sensible... ish, last night. Wanted an extra tenner, so I stopped at a cash machine. It only had 20s left, so I took the 10 I already had and put it in my sock. That 10 was still there this morning, along with a fair few pounds on my table. Just hope I didn't pay for my macdonald's with card, don't think I did. Pretty sure I got a BCO, and I'm pretty sure it was awesome.

There's something about abbreviated fast-foods that annoys me and I have absolutely no idea why.

Morning Gaf!
Today should be a glorious one - XCOM and Dishonored both released in the US of A today, so I get to play tonight with the magic of VPN.
But I just found out that Community is postponed
MY EMOTIONS! MY EMOTIONS!
We're up to Season 3 Episode 2 now
Is the Goonies episode in S1?
Oh cool, at least I have more to come yet. Only 2 eps in so far, trying to pace it since I've been shotgunning shows like crazy recently. I want something left for later too
But Community is postponed?? WTF? I need Alison Brie back in my life, and not mousy 60s MadMen Alison. I want perky Annie...
Yeah, the ad's like OH FUCK YEAH JUST 3 INGREDIENTS, BACON CHICKEN AND ONIONS.
We'll just forget about the lettuce, mayo, tomato, bun, etc, etc.

uuggh, Community is postponed?
I was looking forward to that. I loved watching random episodes of Bob's Burgers (and sometimes King of The Hill) on E4 late at night after I'd come home from a night out but I can't de-associate Bob's Burgers from Archer since H. Jon Benjamin uses the exact same voice for Bob and Stirling.Oh cool, at least I have more to come yet. Only 2 eps in so far, trying to pace it since I've been shotgunning shows like crazy recently.

I know, I need my Troy & Abed fix
I have a terrible habit of shotgunning shows too. It drives Suz crazy because she either misses a bunch of episodes because she gets home from work late and goes to bed early or she gets bored of the show, but I'm still powering through it.
I just did 2 seasons of Episodes in 2 days based on....um....somebody's recommendation in this thread.
Great show, by the way.
I've got a huge list of shows for the next few months:
The Office,
BBT (Yeah...sorry taste, but I love it),
Walking Dead,
Parks & Rec,
Bob's Burgers,
New Girl (I know, I know),
Modern Family,
American Dad (I know...),
Community (Soon, I hope?),
Also need to catch up with Breaking Bad, Psyche, Veep, 30 Rock and Weeds as I stopped watching them for some reason.
I kinda wanna see what all the fuss is about with Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Hell on Wheels & Homeland and there's a show called Boss with Kelsey Grammar in it which I'm tempted to try too...
So much TV.
At least I'm not watching Glee, right?
Yeah, that's annoying, but I think it's the implication that it's so integral to your life that you'll be talking about it all the time, thus you'll need a time saving way to refer to it. "The BCO".
Fuck you McDonald's.
Actually, I could do with a DS&E McM right about now.
uuggh, Community is postponed?
Archer is fucking ace too, but I think I actually prefer Bob's nowadays
South Park is great, I don't know how I forgot it!
I never really clicked with The Middle - I just don't like the kid actors
Me neither. I dropped off after season 11 and it was only a chance TiVo recommendation that got me watching it again. It's still funny!
Ah man, I think Atticus Shaffer (Brick) is a great little comic actor. Shame his voice is breaking in season 4 though. I just think there's a really good dynamic between all the actors and actresses, some quality writing and some quality physical comedy. It makes me laugh out loud which is rare for non stand-up TV comedy.I never really clicked with The Middle - I just don't like the kid actors
I'm tempted to say I'll give it another go, but you've seen my list above - I probably won't get around to it!
Dave, I see you're on Steam...do you play much on PC?
I know what you mean. Breaking Bad is top of my 'series I ought to watch but haven't got around to yet' list.
I did until recently. We've got a lot going on at home which makes it awkward finding time to sit in front of the PC and when I do, it's usually in offline mode. When we move house I hope to move it to the front room (it's currently set up on the HDTV in my man-loft) and get more gaming done but that might prove tricky given mine & missus Smoky's plans. I've been doing a lot of cycling since quitting smoking too and that eats into my free time.
Regardless, I aim to get more PC gaming in over the next few months and I'm salivating at the thought of the Steam xmas sale. PC + HDTV + 360 Pad = Next Gen Super Console.
Steam Xmas sale is always amazing - You'll have to let me know when you're more active.
I'm thinking some more UK GAF multiplayer gaming should be made a priority in the near future.

South Park is still my favourite tv show of all time ever. The new series hasn't failed to deliver.
Mike, I have no clue how you manage to watch so many tv shows. Do you literally get in from work and watch tv for hours then go to bed every day? There are seriously not enough hours.
I am currently watching Breaking Bad and True Blood. That is all. After I've caught up with that I will catch up with Sons of Anarchy. I really can only manage 1 or 2 shows at a time. Far too busy with life for more than that.

What the hell happened in the cunt thread?
I tend to be up pretty late, so I generally start watching TV pretty late. It's not really that much that I watch:
Monday Nights:
Bob's Burgers
Walking Dead (when it starts)
American Dad
Wednesday Nights:
New Girl
Thursday Nights:
Modern Family
Friday nights/over the weekend:
The Office
Big Bang Theory
Parks and Recreation
So that's just under 2 hours on Monday nights and less on other nights. I don't really watch anything else unless Suz has QI or something on.
Breaking Bad, Psyche, Veep, 30 Rock and Weeds are all shows I've not watched in ages and want to catch up on, so I'm not sure when I'll do that - probably a few marathon sessions on lazy Sundays?
Not sure when Community will fall in the week when it finally gets put back on

I know how you feel. I don't like being tied to the TV all night anyway, so we usually have 2 or three dramas on the go mixed with a couple of sitcoms to change the pace. Currently watching Boardwalk Empire S2 (got so behind with that show), Mad Men S2, Cracker, Arrested Development (again!) and Parks and Rec.
All I want right now is the new Game of Thrones. The wait is killing me.
Agh, I forgot about Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire - need to give them a go at some point too.
When Game of Thrones season 3 hits... oh man. Goosebumps! That show, man. That freakin' show. Love the books.

Boardwalk is the weirdest show. Every season starts super slow and by ep 4 I'm nodding out. But then it kicks into high gear and it's amazing. Because of this I keep forgetting that I love it. There was a bit last night where a guy got a meat cleaver in the head and both me and mrs Sniv yelled out and grabbed our heads at the same time, it was fucked up.
Great characters in it though, it's one of those shows that really makes you think and get inside some unique perspectives.
Also that show has a lot of boobies in it. It makes True Blood look a little puritanical at times.
And yeah, S3 of GoT is going to be unreal (and S4 for that matter). I can't wait to see the fits people are going to throw.
Yeah, I can't wait to see how they deal with (seriously, don't look here if you've not read the books)->
the red wedding
I'll never be allowed to watch Boardwalk now that you've said it's full of boobies

Awww, you'll have to watch it late at night then
because they're worth it hahaAwww, you'll have to watch it late at night then
It can't be more boobylicious than Game of Thrones, surely?
I'm pretty sure that Suz is looking forward to S3, though probably not as much as me.
Oh god, I've just remembered some of the crazy shit that's going to be happening with
Dani
Is it March yet?
Mmm hmm. Her and that evil queen chick. I've only seen one episode though, there might be other totty.

It's easily on par with GoT for the areola count, and you get a lot more just plain fuckin going on too. And 20's girls > medieval girls. Plus, non nudity, the clothes and sets in Boardwalk are amazing. I really love the suits.
You obviously haven't seen miss sexposition herself, Ros the ginger prossie. She is haaaawt and is always doing something or other.

I need to get more UK Gafers on Steam and PSN. Need a mic too.
I'm IamMikeside on both.
SteveWD40 on Steam, need more UK friends as the timezone means I can actually play with them. Pref Torchlight 2 right now
I need to really get into Torchlight II, but it came out alongside Borderlands 2 and just before XCOM and Dishonored... it was doomed from the start
Make it so.

If I join will you all promise not to laugh at my football manager playing time?
Sorry, I forgot to respond to that PM as I was just packing up from work when I got it. Only GAFfers I've added so far are one's I've met from London meets. Find it a bit easier to add if I've actually spoken with them face to face. But if you work out who I am I'll add you.
The only game times that will be laughed at are mine. I really should open my Sream client more.
I'll join up once I get home.
