Interesting TV v.1

STM · #1 11-09-2010, 09:30 AM

Has anyone seem some interesting TV or some series recently?

I don't know if Americans can get FX channel but the new series "Walking Dead" is amazing, so far only one episode has been released but anyone who hasn't seen it should.

Also the band of brothers TV series was good wasn't it.

Can Americans get an American channel? Good question.

At any rate, Walking Dead isn't made by FX. It's made by AMC. And yes, we get American Movie Classics, too. Weird, huh?

despite the fact that I am a Trekkie, I think Battlestar Galactica was the only other interesting Science Fiction Series.
I can't wait for the next season of Breaking Bad, Futurama and the IT Crowd. An Idiot Abroad sadly just ended last week and right now The Big Bang Theory is the only series I am watching regularly

The first two seasons of BSG were good. After that it went straight to shit.

The first two seasons did a very good job of playing up the mystery of it all. Who are the Cylons? What is their plan? It was suspenseful, and downright beautiful at moments (season one finale was amazing). But then they told you who the Cylons were, humanized the shit out of them, revealed that there actually was no fucking plan, and all of the mysteries were McGuffins. In other words, it got disappointing.

Okay I get your point.

What about Downton Abbey, anyone watch that? I suprisingly loved it!

I can see why the British are so impressed with their mental superiority.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians

OANST · #14 11-09-2010, 12:06 PM

Fuck you.

Daxter King · #15 11-09-2010, 12:26 PM

My favorite character is Bruce.

scrabface · #16 11-09-2010, 12:39 PM

oh yeah and I started to watch Twin Peaks for the first time
but I dunno, it's so weird. the feeling changes every half second from comedy (where the music gets crappy spy theme like) to mystery horror (music changes to some cool ambient style similar to mulholland drive.
I haven't got very far, but it's so weird in an unsatisfying way

If you aren't liking the beginning, you are going to hate it by the end.

scrabface · #18 11-09-2010, 01:01 PM

I wouldn't say I don't like it, because I have seen too little yet, but I was expecting more horror and mystery. I heard they were pushed to reveal the murderer by the company, is this what you mean with the end? you didn't like the end?

OANST · #19 11-09-2010, 01:05 PM

Well.... It gets even more strange. But strange in a less interesting way towards the end.

Mr. Bungle · #20 11-09-2010, 01:27 PM

Is that the show with the dancing midget at the end? Or something. Someone told me about it, but I could be thinking of a different show.

Bullet Magnet · #21 11-09-2010, 01:37 PM

Damn, I had no idea Walking Dead had started. And apparently it doesn't exist on-line unless you are American or willing to sign up for some expensive garbage "service" that requires all your personal details.

Yeah. That's the one. All in all, it's a damn interesting show, but ultimately it failed at what it was trying to accomplish.

The BBC just announced that iPlayer will be going international. This is a good thing.

There's a channel local to my city and I don't know of one person that can find it when scanning.

A majority of the tv I watch is QI. That is a comment on how often I watch tv, not how many episodes of QI they show over here.

Our ISPs will fuck you up if you go on a torrent site.

Or you just read the comic.

Bullet Magnet · #28 11-10-2010, 05:32 AM

I've read the comic. I want to see the series.

Fluid · #29 11-10-2010, 09:06 AM

I liked nip tuck very much. It's still my favorite show ever.

STM · #30 11-10-2010, 10:27 AM

I liked might boosh when it was on! That was arguably my favourite programme.

Soup soup a tasty soup soup as spicy,
Carrot and Coriander,
Chilly Chowder,
Croutons croutons, spicy friend in a liquid broth.

and so on and so forth.
