TV

I really loved this show but I was kinda glad that they didn't drag in out till they ran out of decent ideas. But, comcast is showing all the episodes on demand and I'm starting to watch the whole shebang over again. I have to admit that I'm shocked that the much hated comcast is doing something that I like.

Just started watching season 1 of The Americans on amazon prime video and I have to say I'm impressed. Great acting and a really unique premise for a TV show.

Anyone else watching this Beau Willimon/David Fincher/Kevin Spacey/Netflix project? They released all 13 episodes up front. Anyway the pilot's goofy ending scene dialog had me scared, but it's picking up.

This is actually pretty good. The premise is that a wiseguy turns informant, then goes into protective custody, where he picks Lillihammer as his new home, because he thought it was beautiful on TV, during the 94' Olympics. Steven Van Zandt stars and is one of the executive producers.

I am really looking forward to this show starting on Sunday. I downloaded the sneak peak on iTunes and it looks pretty good. A Zombie TV show could be a lot of fun.

Anyone on the East Coast see this tonight and anyone on the West Coast counting down to 10pm? 'Steven Seagal: Lawman' full of possibilities

Don't mind me, just being silly. If you don't get it, don't worry about it, it's disposable use-once humor.

Just discovered The Fosters on Netflix. It's an NBC series I think. Some overdone drama, and a little predictable here and there, but underneath is a pretty poignant, more realistic modern family. Not that I have any complaints about the very funny Modern Family series. This series is about two lesbian partners who were raising the Son of a previous marriage to one, then added two adopted twins that needed a home. The series starts with the current temporary fostering of a "high risk" teen. The series deals with several issues, with a heavy underlying theme of modern gay life. It's touching and smart in parts, but it's almost like the writers are being bullied into th…

The new season starts Sunday. Any fans? I've been hooked since day one. Looking forward to this season even more, what with the family man aspect and all.

This one looks fairly promising. Enough violence and T&A to keep the drama from getting too thick.

I had DVR'd PGA/Bridgestone to watch tonight, and lo and behold, all I get is a huge Time Warner propaganda banner. Time Warner customers have just lost CBS. Greedy bastards, all of them http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/08/02/cbs-time-warner-cable-negotiation/2613667/

Just a standard thread for Buffy and Angel chat since a lot of us seem to like the show. Also, I was updating my Amazon Wish List and noticed that the Angel Box Set is 50% off right now, so is Buffy: Amazon.com: Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs): Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, James Marsters, David Boreanaz, Charisma Carpenter, Amber Benson, Seth Green, Michelle Trachtenberg, Emma Caulfield, Joss Whedon: Movies & TV http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Seasons-1-5-30-Disc-DVD/dp/B000TLTCU4/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1SV9NB32K3IPJ&colid=1C3SGXVQP093U

Watched the first episode. Actually a fairly entertaining news show, though I am not sure about their accuracy on some of the stories. Definitely an entertaining way to catch up on some of the lesser told news stories. http://www.hbo.com/vice/index.html

Who likes 'em? Lena Dunham pretty much just rejiggered Tiny Furniture with a little Apatow assist, but probably the most interesting HBO series pilot I've seen in a bit. On YouTube and DailyMotion if you don't have HBO.

What the hell is this?

I'm really enjoying this History Channel short series. Watched installment #2 last night and have learned a lot I did not know.

And birgir's favorite topic too

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?

Andy Griffith, from the non-acid Mayberry, has passed. http://www.nytimes.c...ner=rss&emc=rss http://www.cnn.com/2...dead/index.html

I watched the first episode yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Production has stopped due to the death of three horses during filming. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hbo-cancels-luck-horse-death-peta-dustin-hoffman-300201

I'll admit I was moved to tears. And so unexpected...
