TV

Okay, the same weekend GoT finishes, the second and last season of Fleabag hits Amazon Prime (it’s already aired in Britain). Can we now call it the best thing on TV? Know there are other fans here, including Stretch, and suspect there would be many more given the chance.

OK, so I just finished season 3 of The Wire. This show has continued to impress me. Season 1 was probably the most immediately gripping, but season 2 was also fucking SUPERB, if a bit more complex plot wise and emotionally, and season 3 really provided a lot of closure from loose ends left over in season 3, and for me was the most emotional (yes, I got teary-eyed during the last ten or so minutes, it was really intense. You know like when the bigness of a story just gets to you, and you can't help but have a thousand emotions well up inside? thats what happened). Actually season 3 provides so much closure, I can't wait to see where season 4 takes the story (on dvd this de…

Anyone excited about this show? It's premiering Sunday on HBO. Personally, I love Steve Buscemi, and the premise of the show sounds like the HBO shows that I really love (like The Wire and Deadwood).

Any fans? I just watched season 1 on Netflicks, and am loving this show.

Can anyone here translate japanese to english on this dvd cover? I wanted to know if is says 2 ch audio in english?

A great looking music/recording series is due in November on PBS. http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/watch-trailer-for-george-martins-all-star-pbs-series-soundbreaking-20160314

I'm finding this fun - anyone else watching the series ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_the_Sheep

Anyone else try this? I have been playing with this feature for the last 2.5 months or so. I love it! I think it's the baby steps of the things to come. As of now availability of current features is limited, so if you are into the latest releases, this is not for you. If you like older movies and shows then this will provide quite a bit of entertainment. Some recent movies are available, specially art and foreign. As to the resolution, I don't think it's quite at the DVD level, but not too far behind. So it may not be for everyone. As of now the way it works is that you get as many hours of instant watching as $ you pay for your plan. Right now i've been burning …

Anyone watch the pilot? On the plus side someone is finally using Jennifer Beals and the rest of the cast are interesting choices (and faces). On the negative it's from the creator of The Shield (characters are consistently constipated here too) and every fifth word of the script was 'Chicago' ('That's the Cha-cog-oh way!', 'And that's how we do things in Cha-cog-oh!', etc.). Strange mix between Scorsese-lite action and horrible TV dialogue.

While I was waiting for this to air, I have to admit, I didn't go in with much in the way of expectations. But I have to say... I enjoyed the hell out of the premier. Things I liked: * Summer Glau as Cameron * The rest of the cast * Starting it a few years after T2 * How they got to current day * Did I mention Summer Glau? Things I didn't like: * The horrible tatoo cover-up on Lena Headey's arms and back * The stupid "Class Dismissed" line There was lots of action, the acting was solid throughout and the story could be interesting. So it's definitely got my attention for the next few episodes, and considering the lack of new TV out there, it will have to get…

I'm sorry. I can't help it. I am mesmorized by the Quest commercials that take a black and white sand image of one thing (like a tree and it's still reflection in a lake) and have a set of graceful female hands skillfully and dynamically move that sand to create another completely different image before our very eyes (a vase of flowers.) Slight of hand. Simple. Elagant. Unlike anything else out there. Have you seen it? Does it move you?

I don't know how I missed this way back when, but I just watched all 12 episodes and it is hilarious. Figured you fellow music lovers might enjoy it. Amazingly funny... and, more importantly, amazingly smooth. http://www.channel101.com/show/171

Someone on another forum I'm on brought up an interesting topic. Television shows without a single bad episode. Most shows have a few duds, but not all of them...what would you say was a show without any duds?

I'm not a big fan of streaming TV, and this article will probably date badly in a year, but we appear to be at a crossroads: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/10/magazine/streaming-race-netflix-hbo-hulu-amazon.html

New show with David Cross and Will Arnett. Airing on IFC but the pilot's up on Hulu now. http://www.hulu.com/watch/177769/the-increasingly-poor-decisions-of-todd-margaret-in-which-claims-are-made-and-a-journey-ensues

JP told Al about this show while Al and I were at the Michigan Lake House. We finished season 1 and were laughing our asses off! Fun show!

Anyone else watching this HBO mini-series? Was nervous with Simon and Haggis working together, but it's turned out pretty well so far.

Don't know too much about it, except some of the same people that brought us Peaky Blinders. Looking forward to watching the premier.

Anyone else watching PBS/Ken Burn's National Parks? Click for larger version.

Watch the entire 1st season.....like the storyline. For those who have watched, WTF this Jemma getting a paid sex ? Such a pretty woman ?? I know the end that she wanted to hurt somebody......but with her looks she wouldve no problem doing it. HBO, get a better cast next time.......

Watched the 2 hr. premier. Not sure where this might go, but hoping for a non Dynasty type of path. Good cast.

firefly coming to blu-ray

Anyone else love this show as much as I do? Solid story, great characters and all the conspiracies and suspense you could want. I hope CBS will pick it up for a full season next year as I really think it's one of the best shows on TV.

Starting this Thursday at 10pm on IFC.
