TV The Television Show Thread

Re: The Television Show Thread!

@koen - Thank you for reminding me about this show! I had totally forgotten about it. I remember last season during Lost that they had some previews for it, but haven't heard about it since. I'm sure there have been commercials, but I fast-forward through them since I tape everything I watch on my DVR, hehe. Anyway, I'll be sure to check it out.

Talking about Lost -> Check the bus in this pic

Wouldn't it be hilarious if this show, the black out, explains Lost's plot

I can definitely advocate you to watch it. It started promising and it had a great WTH end scene. As I say, not going to spoil anything but I hope more people will watch it. It seems a good TV show to discuss about

as for the people saying I'll check out Fringe. It should be mandatory

Nah, good show that's get better in the second half of the first season. So definitely be patient

Re: The Television Show Thread!

So sorry I missed this! I promise that I wasn't ignoring you.

lol dont worry about it. you are really busy I bet.

I consider myself (erroneously?) to be quite a tv buff, so yes, I do have plenty of shows to recommend. I don't know much about your taste, or what genre of shows you're looking for, or what you're currently watching, etc..... but I'll give it a shot anyway.

Im actually open to everything and enjoy every genre. A little of everything doesn't hurt.

Some of my "must-see" shows (thank god for DVR xD) airing this season are: 30 Rock, Fringe, House, Psych, Monk, The Soup (if you're in to pop culture), The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Glee (probably my biggest current obsession).

House is one of my favorite shows but it sucks that it is on at the same time as Heores... my solution to this is to DVR (isn't DVR great) Heores while i watch House in the other room.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is also a great show. its one of those shows that you shouldn't miss.

I just recently started to see 30 Rock and cant beleive i havent seen it from the beginning. ,I will have to rent or buy the first few seasons to catch up.

The one show I hear people rave about a lot is Glee. I havent been able to see it yet but as soon as i get a chance to i will, especially now more than ever since you highly recommend it.

A few others that were either cancelled or aren't on right now are: Arrested Development (my absolute number 1 rec for everyone. watch now if you haven't! ), The IT Crowd, Boston Legal, Burn Notice, and Lost.

I can certainly recommend some more, but that should do pretty well to get you started.

Thank you so much for taking the time to recommend these shows to me. I will have a fun time checking them out. Hopefully we can talk about them at a later time.

Again thank you!

Re: The Television Show Thread!

On Koen's recommendation I watched Flash forward and really liking it so far, it has potential. Here's to hope they won't screw it up!

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I'm really liking the show Lie To Me. I saw a few episodes last season and I liked it but this season has me hooked!

Glee is becoming one of my favorites! I can't get the song: It's My Life / Confessions Pt. 2 out of my head!

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Omg...just watched the first 2 episodes of True Blood. SHIT! Rogue from X-men is in there(the actress). It sure has a lot of sex scenes But it looks good though, I hope I get to see some action in the third episode.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Yeah Flash Forward is the future hit series IMO, it's already being aired in the Uk by Fiver.

I definitely like the mystery part, which unfortunately the show I admired Heroes lost.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Yeah, Lie To Me is one of my current favorites, but the small amount of episodes is really painful. Love how educational it actually is, or at least pretends to be unlike other shows of the same kind where the main characters have extra strong senses.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

House is still the best written show IMO.

You and me both . I've actually considered buying that song on itunes, but instead I just re-watch the performance .

Anyways, so far my favorite new show of the year has been Modern Family, followed by Community. The new season of Dexter is off to a really good start, and I think Heroes has been better this season.

I do have a question though, I want a new good show to watch so I was wondering should I start with True Blood or Mad Men? I've heard good things about both shows and will probably get around to watching them both, but I guess what I really want to know is, which one is better?

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I'd have to say Lost is the best TV show regarding the mysteries section, well written then any others out there.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Lost fell apart after the 2nd season

Re: The Television Show Thread!

True Blood just started airing here in the UK a few ago. They've already shown 3 episodes.
It airs on Channel 4 on Thursdays at 9pm. I think. So far I'm liking it, can't wait for this week's episode.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

At this moment flash forward is still getting better. Episode 7 was by far more the best episode of the season

Spoiler

I like how everything is twisted about the future being a fate or not. Are the things unwritten. So sad to knew more about the cop's flash forward. He choose his own path, a suicide which wasn't meant to happen. So great

oh and another serie which I can advocate:

V

It's a remake of an '80 serie. An extraterrestrial race arrives on Earth with seemingly good intentions, only to slowly reveal their true machinations the more ingrained into society they become. It's really cool and promising too

I watched the trailer and my first thought: ftw!? Independence day <seriously, first scenes are so much similar xPXP> Looks good, though. If someone like the actress from "Lost" who plays Juliet, can find her here <3<3 I will not watch this show from the internet <it didn't impact me so much>, but if it will be someday on some pl programme on tv, I will defiently watch it.

Agreed, it was a question in my head: What if someone did something irreversible before the flash forward happened, making it happening impossible. Think it's maybe affected the thing with the MIA daughter returning instead of her father finding her?

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Dang it! I keep forgetting to watch Flash Forward.

I did, however, check out the pilot for V and agree with koen that it does look pretty promising. ^^ According to wiki, they are airing the first 4 episodes in November and then taking a break until March 2010 (after the Winter Olympics end) before airing the remaining 9 eps of the season.

Oooh, and I've also recently started watching Weeds, which is fantastic! I'm through the first 2 seasons so far (available free on-demand from Netflix for anyone who has it). It's hilarious, highly recommend.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Agh, I just had to give a quick shout out to a show I'm a little (and by little, I mean a lot) late picking up on. Flight of the Conchords is hilarious. I've watched the first four or so episodes and love them. Can't believe I'm only starting to watch this show now . Any news on if there are plans for a third season?

Oh, and since is V is being talked about, I enjoyed the pilot, but I'll have to wait and see on this one. I mean, I enjoyed the pilot of Flash Forward, but I have noticed myself growing less and less interested in the show. I'm only half way through the most recent show.

P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were removed from the alphabet.

P.P.S. Dexter continues to be the best drama on TV right now.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Dexter continues to be the best drama on TV right now.

I've always disliked how incredibly predictable the plot was. For example, the moment they revealed the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Trinity's first family members, they narrowed the climax to one of two scenarios:

Spoiler

1) Trinity tries to recreate himself through his son. That is, he'll contrive the deaths of his daughter and wife so that they resemble the deaths of his mother and sister. Ironically, Dexter will end up making Trinity's life easier by engineering the latter's demise. The cycle will then begin anew in the son, forcing Dexter to have another crisis (cause he oh so loves to have them) 2) Trinity will finish the cycle by killing his family. Dexter saves the last of them by killing Trinity. Given the overall level of detachment Trinity has regarding his family, his reservations about the coffin (fear of his own death, rather than the deaths of his family members), and the scene where Trinity tried to get his ass handed to him outside a bar, I'm leaning toward the former.

p.s. As if no one saw the Farrow crisis coming. Dexter's a prick and never actually listens to his victims' understanding of events.

True Blood is so good that it deserves to be on a major network but it won't because they'll censor it.
