sorry if repeat, but just finished spartacus season 1, and it pretty awesome

Do not watch Camelot (new show on Starz). It is a notch above Xena: Warrior Princess, and that's being generous...

STEVE HOLT

ha ha. There was a AD marathon on UHD a few weeks ago on a sunday and i had it on the TV all day long. Such an amazing show, and every time i watch it i'm sad that it ended after only 3 seasons.

[wufwugy]

Rule of thumb: the better a show is, the more likely it gets cancelled

Network TV doesn't exist because they are good at show production, they're actually very awful at it. They exist because they're so deeply entrenched. Innumerable extremely talented artists and shows get destroyed due to network policy and leaders being lawyers and accountants who don't know the first thing about art and entertainment

I torrented both of the season 2 episodes of Louie. I really wish I would catch this on TV to boost the ratings. It really needs to continue being a show.

[philly and the phanatics]

i dont think you could change the ratings unless you had one of those special cable boxes where they monitors what you watch. wiki nielson ratings or w/e....

as for louie, he is one of my favorite stand up comedians, that said i found the first season (while hilarious) to be almost too dry at times lol. But yea i havent checked out the new couple of eps yet...did you watch wilfred or w/e? my friend says its good but im skeptical of checking it out

[drmcboy]

wilfred so far is pretty good, it's very odd

[boost]

I'm currently marathoning the first season of Louie... this is prob a contender for funniest sitcom ever. It's like a combination of Seinfeld and Curb, but a lot darker, and none of the "everything is interconnected" theme that is so prevalent in the Larry David shows.

[oskar]

^^ absolutely!

New season should be coming up shortly

[boost]

I think it's started.. but don't quote me on that.

[bigspenda73]

first 2 eps already out

[supa]

I think it's started.. but don't quote me on that.

Seemed like the proper thing to do.

WOOT you're right!

I always check here btw: Louie (a Titles & Air Dates Guide)
crappy looking site, but it's always reliable.

[philly and the phanatics]

trip workaholics has been a pleasant surprise for sure...although i hate anders or w/e he sucks ass...but yea def good show that will be back for at least another season imo

*** Sopranos Spoilers ***

Watching this shits again, and I can't believe what those motherfuckers did to Furio. Writers bitched up the coolest character in the whole show then canned him. WTF is this noise

[drmcboy]

new show Rake on DirectTV/Audience network is really cool.

also like awkward on MTV

wilfred is confirmed hilarious. last ep wilfred servived the mom from malcom in the middle and had really nasty sex with a stuff girafe. how do you beat that?

finally gave up on true blood this year after ep 3, what a disaster. It is hard to imagine they could have made worse plot choices throwing darts at a board.

[fjuanl]

louie has been disappointing the last few episodes and i really liked the 1st season. +1 wilfred

[drmcboy]

yeah I like Louie and even some of the serious eps (the one with the asshole kid in the donut store sticks out) are cool, but it's kinda hard because I'm not sure what mood I should be in when I turn it on. Also I thought the one with him back in catholic school was just a fail on all levels, 0 laughs and a concept that's been done to death.

[BennyLaRue]

Just watched Season 1 of Community. Not sure why I wasn't watching this before. Is goot. Is a funny.

ya, this is pretty much how I feel. I was really confused when I got hit with the first serious episode, esp since I marathoned saeson 1 + the first few eps of season 2. Like you said the donut shop ep was fucking awesome, but it felt like SUCH a downer being in the same bin as so much hilarity.

[wufwugy]

for some reason i stopped watching louie after like ep 4. i know i said it was so good, but for a comedy, it felt like it got super srsbsn, and im just not feeling that

community is ez top ten comedy, possible top five

[bikes]

breaking bad is pretty meh this season imo

yes very slow start, kinda disappointing so far

[wufwugy]

wtf part deux

[Alexos]

you don't think so?

Gotta say I haven't watched the last episode yet.

[wufwugy]

a lot has happened in just a few episodes, and they're developing a story very well. i think audiences usually want swift conclusions to storylines, and that's where a lot of slowness comes from. they brought in at least like four new storyline thingies this season, and they have to be allowed their course. but still it hasn't been slow. besides, if it were to be any faster paced like lost, it would have the same problem of lost in that the writers/producers dont give a fuck about the art and story but only that audiences are cattle

[Galapogos]

Just watched Season 1 of Community. Not sure why I wasn't watching this before. Is goot. Is a funny.

Love this show.

Also started watching Mad Men recently and liking that a lot too.

[drmcboy]

Still loving breaking bad although I want them to get wherever we're going with the brother in law really soon.

I think the ads for community really made it look awful, it is not a good 5 second bite show imo. Have only seen season 1 but it is going on the tivo for sure. pumped for season two, netflix has the discs 9/6.

[philly and the phanatics]

are you guys joking, in the last season of BB there was like a 4 ep stretch of jack shit happening, highlighted by the episode where he spent a fucking hour chasing a fly....give it time, shit will pop off.

and SPOILERS in white**************

when gus slit that dudes throat it was fucking badass as shit....im def calling that jesse won't die, which will probably mean he will have to kill mike.

Yeah, with Community, you need to understand the characters or the clips wouldn't be nearly as interesting.

Last episode of Breaking Bad made me jizz in my pants.

[wufwugy]

it is that good

[boost]

I'm happy with it... but after catching random eps of GoT and Boardwalk Empire, I think I'm just way more into those shows. That's not to take away from the awesomeness that is BB-- I guess I'm just a sucker for period pieces (we can call GoT a period piece right?)

[wufwugy]

BB doesn't have the pizzazz of a period piece/fantasy, but it's easily one of the best there is.

BE season 2 better have more of the one faced guy. And hopefully Scorsese learned how to not put a film on TV by now. We need more character and story developments and fewer high-production cinematographical scenes

[philly and the phanatics]

oh yea the one faced guy....opposed to all of those multiple faced ones.....obv i assume you are talking about burn face or w/e who is the sniper ....and yes i agree, that guy is the fucking tits.

Also loving Tommy from Snatch as Al Capone

wilfred so far is pretty good, it's very odd

if you're referring to the american series, get your mits on the australian one. it may be a little bit too culturally-specific, but i think its infinitely better than what i've seen of the american adaptation. most of the funnier bits in the american one are re-used from the australian series anyway.

so ends the days of entourage. they were enjoyable

The first three seasons were enjoyable...that's about it.

[oskar]

Star-ving with David Faustino.
One season of 10 min. episodes in freakishly bad taste.
Apparently Crackle.com bought them. I can't visit cos of local restrictions, but I'm sure it's worth checking out. No TV channel would have let them do that.

Here's the pilot:

Watch on crackle if you can.

I was disappointed by the finale but the rest of the final season was really good, I thought.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already but just started "Mad Men". Only 5 episodes into Season 1 but it's incredible so far.

yeah i was disappointed in the finale as well but agree the last season was really good.


ahh the fall. when i get to watch fringe, family guy, how i met your mother, boardwalk empire part of me wants to watch terra nova as well.

dont judge me =(

[bode]

workaholics back onnnnn

i watched one ep of this when it first came out and thought it was the dumbest shit ever. then i started watching during a marathon over labor day weekend and found the awesome in it. First ep of S2 was pretty good, and hopefully it gets better like S1 did.

[DropTheBanana]

Boardwalk Empire never disappoints. Going to be a hell of a season I think.

[wufwugy]

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Tonight's Breaking Bad was the best episode of any show ever in the history of television. This shit is better than even the best big picture cinema has to offer

[oskar]

^^ omg haven't seen it yet, but this season has already been insane so far. can't wait.

[boost]

Ya, BB was pretty fucking amazing. I think it's for sure in the running for GOAT TV series episode.

[rong]

Yeah, fuckin hell, both the last two were amazing. Frustrating wait now, which is why I prefer watching a series once it's already been aired.

[BooG690]

Breaking Bad seasons 1-3 now on Netflix. Time to play catch up.

[lolzzz_321]
