karamazov80 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) I'll have to check that Treme show out at some time. . .having some familiarity with NO, I'll be interested to see how that show's events match up with my own perceptions of things. Goodman has a strong connection with the city, anyway, so I'm sure there is some authenticity to his performance. On a side note, he's not my favorite actor, either, but he's really shined in several Coen Brothers films--particularly Walter Sobchack in the Big Lebowski.

minimadman Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Treme was good but like David Simon's other series The Wire it can be an exhausting watch at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 We gave up our huge cable bill and went down to basic cable. My only complaint is that now I tend to forget that shows are on because I'm watching so much Netflix these days Of course Archer had just gotten our attention when we shut it all down. Good thing Netflix has the first season. I cannot wait for Season 2 to hit Yes please. That show is great! I think I watched the first season in 1 day. I'm tempted to just watch it again. I just finished Witchblade. Pretty good actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Anyone else completely addicted to Game of Thrones on HBO? Only 5 episodes have aired, but it is one of the best produced series on TV. As far as the sets go, I haven't been this impressed since Deadwood. I'm reading the first book too, and so far the tv series has been extremely accurate.

Turtle Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm watching it and LOVING it. I'm soon to finish the third book. Even knowing what happens next in the TV series (there have been a couple of little changes/enhancements), I have been impressed at the way each episode ends with such a gripping cliffhanger. It's definitely a well made and thought-out show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I am a big fan of NBC's Parks & Recreation, and it seems that one of the characters, Ron Swanson, is becoming a bit of an internet star. If you don't watch the show, this clip sums up his character: Ron Swanson wants all of the bacon and eggs. There are quite a few great comedies on right now but Modern Family, Parks & Recreation, and Community are the 3 that I make sure I don't miss.

gambitron Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I recently started watching Happy Endings and it is very, very funny. If you liked Scrubs or Friends you should give this one a try. Edited May 24, 2011 by gambitron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yeah, that show is funny. I was glad to see it got renewed for season 2. Damon Wayans Jr. is in it, and his dad is played by Damon Wayans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Anyone else completely addicted to Game of Thrones on HBO? Only 5 episodes have aired, but it is one of the best produced series on TV. As far as the sets go, I haven't been this impressed since Deadwood. I'm reading the first book too, and so far the tv series has been extremely accurate. I've read the first 3 books and yep they pretty much have it nailed. My problem is with the books not the TV show, The author has been very slow to continue give us new books and the current one is over 5 years late. I have put reading any more on hold as doubt he will ever get around to finishing the whole saga. I'd suggest reading through book 3 and then stopping until we get more as book 4 is half a book and only tells the story of some of the characters. T.

buttheadsmate Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Once is always enough for me...until 'Sherlock' came along. I've just watched this BBC series for the second time & I almost enjoyed it as much as the first time. Stunning ..absolutely stunning.

super spider piggy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 UK Office mostly. Thank god for DVR Theater. Also, this hilarious show called Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Basically a parody of 80s horror shows. May be the greatest show ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 New series coming Can't get here soon enough. In the meanwhile, my Netflix queue is pretty full, but I'm really looking forward to watching the Red Riding series. Was that any good?

Lurch77 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 So we're catching up on '24' on Netflix (didn't watch it when it was on air) and we're half-way through season 2 ... a friggin cougar?? you got to be kidding me! I'm loving this show so far, but please tell me they ease up on the Kim-can't-walk-or-do-anything-without-resulting-in-her-spontaneously-combusting.

youbastards Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 LOL, yeah, the infamous cougar trap scene! It's right up there with Teri's amnesia from Season 1. Kim is only a 'main character' for another season or 2, but yes, they ease up on those situations considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 after the first couple of series, Kim is rarely in it... I seem to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 My TV watching has been a bit hit and miss at the moment. There are a few new series restarting on UK TV which I DVR to watch at my leisure. Falling Skies Town Called Eureka Warehouse 13 Castle (just finished) Murdoch Mysteries Fringe (waiting for the third season to appear on catch up TV and I will watch in a block) Pitbulls & Parolees Rescue Ink My son streams Wilfred which he says is good. I'm waiting on the new Sons Of Anarchy and is it Terra Nova? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I watched Falling Skies and thought that it was good enough to watch through but it wasn't amazing. I do have to say that the reveal they gave in the last couple of episodes did increase my interest in the show and the season finale was good. I just started watching Starz's Camelot and it is good so far (about halfway through it) but the actor they got to play Arthur is atrocious!
