TV

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

"Sherlock" (2010) No not the Downey Jr one. A modern 3 x 1.5 hour episode 'series' on BBC that was broadcast recently and will released on Bluray/DVD on the 30th August Quite recommended if you are able to obtain it. I didn't think I'd enjoy it but decided to give it a try due to positive comments by some friends. I ended up liking it and even laughed a few times (I hardly ever laugh at TV) and found it quite entertaining, if not quite as polished as big budget productions tend to be. I felt this lent the programme a bit of charm and let the focus on title character really shine through, which is good because he's brilliant.

Looks like COVID-19 is going to shut things down for a while. Has anybody watched the Vikings series from the History Channel? Looks like my kind of show.

Was wondering if any of you guys watch this show. I think it's hilarious.

IMHO this show has just gotten better and better. It started out as above average and as the fan base grew, so did the maturity of the writing. The season 6 Premier was amazing and put the show right up there with some of the best of the new gen tv.

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

I could watch this show all afternoon and never get sick of it

Anyone else a fan of this show? I missed it the first time around since I don't watch TV but I'm catching up now. Les Stroud is truly amazing, musician, survival expert, writer, filmmaker, and a remarkable TV personality to boot with endless charisma. He films everything himself, no camera crew, nothing is faked like Man vs. Wild, just genuine survival techniques with a bit of humor thrown in. Les doesn't do anything excessive, and his escapades don't always work and sometimes he has to bail and call in help. Still, I've learned a few nice tricks, and the show is massively entertaining.

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/

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

Anybody watching this show? Ethan Hawk plays John Brown. I'm really enjoying this. The young man who plays "Onion" is someone to watch. He may have a great career ahead of him.

And birgir's favorite topic too

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

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.

TBS - Neighbors From Hell

I may well be alone here, but I'm anxiously awaiting the season premiere tonight. I've watched the show from the beginning, and have grown to love the characters and story lines.

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 …

firefly coming to blu-ray

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.

If there have been mentions of Dave (FXX/Hulu) here I couldn't find it on search, so let's start a thread. If you're like me and late to the party, season 2 recently started and crazy funny/smart. If you're mixed at the pilot jump to episode 3 ("Hypospadias") for a kinda amazing episode of sexual fears/intimacy.

Top Chef is back! Anyone else watch this show? I'm a bit of a foodie and like it because they actually have real/legitimate chefs on the show. The first challenge was very appropriate given the setting and I thought the first elimination challenge was very revealing.

The series "Flash Gordon" kicks off tonight at 8pm on sci-fi channel in the UK http://www.scifi.co.uk/flashgordon/ I'll likely watch it when it repeats later in the week

This and Criminal Minds have pretty much been the only 2 shows i have followed every week over the last few years. Hate to see it go. Looks like Jack will bite the bullet at the end, meaning no comebacks.

Watched the premiere last night. It kicked all sorts of ass, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where it goes. Oh, and yeah, I Anna Torv. That is all.
