TV

Just watched season 1. Pretty funny. Timothy Olyphant is really good at comedy.

Just a few episodes in, but liking it so far.

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

Greetings my good sirs, I just wanted to share a series: Vinyl The story shapes itself in 70s' New York, around a music executive: Richie Finestra. Music industry, sex, drugs and alcohol... Pretty likeable things. I really like the story and cast. Bobby Cannavale (Main Actor), Pretty talented actor, I've known him from another HBO production: Boardwalk Empire. And the cast includes: Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde, James Jagger. Creators are really impressive: Mick Jagger, Martin Scorsese!!1!!1! and Rich Cohen. First Season has been aired in early 2016. Anyway, Just check it. In worst scenario you'll lose 10-40 minutes.

This season, Asylum, is going to be awesome. Anyone else catch the first episode last night?

The hype on this is that it is the best "30 for 30" ESPN has ever done. The first episode was sensational. I can't wait to see more.

It's been so long since I've watched the original mini series that it's hard for me to compare the two, but I'm enjoying it thus far.

English tv show. Written by Stephen Moffat. Very fast, witty dialogue. Very House - Wilson, Holmes - Watson type humor which I quite enjoy. Just started season 1 but am sad to find out it only has 4 episodes =/ Anyone else watch it?

Just watched a marathon of the first 3-4 episodes of this the other night... not bad. About a HS chem teacher (played by the guy who was the dad on Malcolm in the Middle) who is diagnosed with terminal cancer, and decides to make meth to provide for his family when he's gone.

Anyone else excited? "The Knick" stars Clive Owen as Dr. John Thackery, an ambitious surgeon who leads the staff at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York in the early 1900s. http://youtu.be/r_xvw-_YJSo

I thought it might be nice to hear what others have discovered on Netflix. I myself found a cute movie the other night called Chasing Ghosts.

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

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

I've watched the first three episodes now, and overall I think it's going to be a good show. I like that there's not a new case resolved each episode. The character developement is it's strong point.

The 2nd season started in late July and I just watched all of season one in a week. Its a pretty good show and its free on demand where I live Anyone else liking this show?

A four part PBS/BBC series due next fall. Exec. Producers; T Bone Burnett Robert Redford Jack White http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/07/american-epic-tv-series-examines-1920s-recordings/?mabReward=A5&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&region=CColumn&module=Recommendation&src=rechp&WT.nav=RecEngine&_r=1

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).

I've been a fan of Louie CK for quite some time. Even his failed TV Series of a similar name to the current FX show now titled "Louie". The latest Episode #2 of Season 4 was simply brilliant. The most hysterically uncomfortable show ever.

I've only seen a few of these PBS shows but once you start, you can't take your eyes away. So far, I've seen part of the steam yacht, the Lysander airplane, and just a bit of the Ahrens Fox fire engine and I'd be hard pressed to say which one I enjoyed the best.

I'd started watching this last year (1st season), but only did about 4-5 episodes. [rant] I was going to rewatch it and finish the 1st season before starting the second, but those pricks at Comcast are charging $3 an episode for previous seasons now. I'm so glad the powers that be allowed Comcast to buy NBC/Universal. Service providers like them should never be allowed to own content creators, and apparently their "concessions" to not charge for such expired early this year, but I digress. [/rant] At any rate, I've been watching the 2nd season. Intense show, and so far I'm impressed. I think I read one reviewer stating that it was the new Breaking Bad. Not too f…

Starting this Thursday at 10pm on IFC.

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

Tomorrow night (here in Nor Cal) KQED will air an Independent Lens that looks like it should be killer. Check out the trailer. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/tv-schedule/

The celebration will be held at the JFK Center in DC and NPR will provide a live web cast. Should be very cool! http://www.npr.org/event/music/310772594/live-sunday-blue-note-at-75-the-concert

remake of cosmos on fox sunday nights produced by Seth McFarlane staring Neil deGrasse Tyson promises to be 13 episodes of pure eye candy
