TV The Television Show Thread

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Yeah, the same fart jokes may be there, but honestly they aren't what makes the show. What was really golden for me (and for Nuno afaik) was amongst others the Charlie-Alan interactions, whether it was Charlie being mean old brother but actually caring and Alan being cheap and deceptive of his old brother. Now I don't actually feel anything towards Alan cheating Kuthcer. I don't know. It might get better, but who knows? It's just a bummer that Kutcher is extremely childish.

And in Happy Endings, Damon Wayans Jr. pretty much is one of the funniest characters in it .

Kutcher is pretty much playing the same role as he did in The 70's Show, only a slightly more subdued and less spastic version of him. It'll stay on air as long as the ratings are good.

Yeah Wayans is great. I think all the characters are pretty strong, especially Max, the un-stereotypical gay guy.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Well, the fart jokes were for the most part limited to jake. You wouldn't see charlie or alan pulling one of those but rather they would simply suffer from jake's exceptionally stinky ones. Charlie had a certain wit to him so to speak (not saying it was the classiest thing either) which was completely lost to kutcher spaghetti jokes and childish demeanor. Sheen is by no means an exceptional actor however since charlie hardper was a toned down version of charlie sheen he was by all intents and purposes made for the role.

I just noticed something exceptionally disturbing about the show's opening. Anyone heard when kutcher start's supposedly singing? Its plain disturbing (in a "I am going to rape your mom, eat your babies and make you watch kinda way). Why would they go for that voice?

I like these shows:

Top Shot and the newly just started being aired, Knights of Mayhem

American Football has competition with Knights of Mayhem, hehe. Talk about collisions and hits!

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I'm currently watching 'Unfabulous'. The first time I saw it on TV, I was interested because the main character was playing the guitar and the next thing I know, her name is Addie! That's just like "Adi", the name friends call me by (my name is Adriana and 'Adi' is short for that). And I'm watching it since. It's a very funny and cute show. ^^

Re: The Television Show Thread!

This past week, I've recently just watched 3 seasons of Glee (FOX), 4 seasons of Fringe (FOX), and omg....this was definitely a great watch. It made me completely forget about reading manga. Now I gotta catch up on a week load of manga series that were updated.

I've just caught up with:
Nikita (CW) - nice series
Supernatural (CW) - Disappointed that the Apocalypse saga wasn't as world corrupting as I'd hoped.
Lost Girl (Showcase)- Love this show soooo much!!!
Alphas (Syfy) - really entertaining. The season final was kinda weak to me though.
Homeland (Showtime) - This series is really too much. Genius though.
TERRA NOVA (FOX) - I love it, just wish it was based in the future, not the damn past.
Ringer (CW) - AWESOME!!!!!!! LOVE IT WITH MY LIFE!
Unforgettable (CBS) - Love the whole "I never forget" feeling the main character brings. Why make her a detective though? Lame.
Person of Interest (CBS) - AWESOME!!!!! Love it but not with my life.
The Secret Circle (CW) - Love this show!
The Good Wife (CBS) - This show was awesome in the 1st season. Now...it's getting a little side-tracked.
Falling Skies (TNT) - This TV show was genius. Just wish the characters weren't so stupid.
Young Justice (CN) - Heroes from the DC comics really make me happy. Plus, teenagers? AWESOME!
Grimm (NBC) - My type of show. Just that I feel like it's a ripoff of some other show.
Once Upon a Time (ABC) - really Disney like, in a corny way...but still interesting.
SUITS (USA) - BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!
Gossip Girl (CN) - I'm an extreme fan-girl for this one!!!! You know you love me XOXO gossip girl~ SO LOVE IT!!!
The Vampire Diaries (CN) - This series just always manages to create some new drama plot.
White Collar (USA) - BEST SERIES EVER!!!!
Thundercats (CN) - Love this cartoon. It's a classic! If it were a manga, I'd soooo read it.

BTW, the "Enlightened" TV series is just so depressing, that I had to drop it. I'm sorry. I love that it is very unique in television, but I really am not ready to watch something like this. It feels like it should be made as movie series instead of TV series. I am really not digging watching new installments of her crappy life.

TV shows I need to watch:
Lost (ABC) - I heard this series was genius. So I'll watch it when I have time.
The Walking Dead (AMC) - The name "walking dead" makes me curious enough. Plus, I watched the trailer.
Sanctuary (Syfy) - The trailer made me curious. Plus, it has allot of fans for some reason. I'm curious.
True Blood (HBO) - I never watched it yet because I didn't really like the first 3 min of the 1st episode. But, I'll give it a second try.
Heroes (NBC) - I heard this series was genius. Plus, I love super heroes!!!! (I've watched the 1st and 2nd season - LOVE IT)

You know what surprises me? I watch this stuff when I'm at work in my job, and I never get caught. I love my life. ~

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Holy crap Asahina, you watch a lot of TV

But I can vouch for Fringe, Lost, and The Walking Dead. All fantastic shows.

I hear from most people who were fans of Heroes that the first two seasons were great and then it got incredibly repetitive. Which led to it being cancelled.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

The first season of Heroes was good, I was seriously excited that there was a "cliffhanger-show" I could be excited about. Then some of the actors quit before season 2 I think, so they had to cut their characters out of the story without any explanation and the new characters were bland and had boring story lines. The swiftly paced story-telling of season 1 was completely gone and the events that occured just seemed to drag on for episodes, and left no hint of implication that the story-writers had any idea where the plot was going while writing the episodes. I didn't watch season 3, but I heard it was supposed to be even worse due to some writer's strike so I'll be quite fine without it.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Other TV shows I caught up with:

• Caprica (Syfy) (Space) - BEST SERIES EVER! or at least the scientific aspect of it ...this should have been a movie. sucks that it's canceled.
  -
• The Fades (BBC THREE) - I LOVE THIS Series! The black dude is ugly, but funny. I love angelic & spiritual aspect of this series.
  -
• Misfits (E4) - I Loved the 1st and 2nd season, but the 3rd season doesn't have my favorite character. The funny dude with the curly afro.
  -
• A Gifted Man (CBS) - A very interesting show!!! But if it gets canceled, I would not be mad.
  -
• Merlin (BBC ONE) - I love this show. I'm in love with the story plot. I just wish Merlin wasn't a servant.
  -
• Smallville (CW) - I already watched all the seasons. It kinda sucks that it's over.
  -
• John Doe (FOX) - BEST SERIES EVER!!!! Why did they cancel this amazing show?
  -
• Kyle XY (ABC) - Best series in life! Way better than "Smallville." It has a more believable plot. why did they cancel it? damn it!!!

Other shows I plan to watch:

• Eastwick (ABC) - It seems like it will be about women with powers...
  -
• Prison Break (FOX) - The main character is awesome because he was the main character of "JOHN DOE" - so I plan to watch him again.
  -
• Castle (ABC) - I plan to just watch the 1st season and that's it. If it gets really entertaining, I'll see about making it my main series.
  -
• Big Love (HBO) - a story about a guy with 3 wives? I'm interested enough since it maintained by HBO...

Yes, I know I'm watching allot of TV (and I read allot of manga)...but I still find time to balance my life really well. I do go for a 1-2 mile jogging every week, and I eat nutritious foods and all the good stuff - to stay fit, beautiful and SEXY. And I do find time to socialize with friends and family, even when I don't feel like it. The key point is to prioritize your time in a way that it won't effect your life in a negative way.

Also....it REALLY helps to have a high paying job or a good source of income. Especially when you want to have more free time for yourself and not worry too much about bills.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

btw.

Yeah, but having your own business and being the boss <even if its a small one xD> is even better - when you want to, you have all the time you need <3<3<3

If you watched the trailer for yourself, you'd know.

The CW’s Supernatural is clearly what Grimm copied.
Grimm is probably the reason behind what's causing Supernatural to have a bad year on ratings.
But I find it funny that I wasn't thinking of the fact that the new Twilight movie opening the same night of Supernatural airing could have also caused the low ratings of Supernatural.

The bald grandma or aunt of whatever grimm relations he has with her, that part reminds of Fringe in a sense.

But I gotta admit that on Grimm, the man is a great actor and a bit cool! So I should be showing some love to Grimm but the Winchester boys are like the perfect duo on TV. But maybe I should forget comparing it to Supernatural or the Winchesters - Grimm may never hold a candle on its own either.

Grimm is ripping off multiple reimagined story lines, but it sure seems like a rip off of the kids book series "the sisters grimm" in which two sisters plus grandma, the last descendants of the grimms, fight the story book characters aided by the big bad wolf.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Thx Asahina! I thought I would give this tv series a try because its related to Grimm brothers and fantasy in a sense made in a 'detective' way <which can be fun> and now they are making it into full season. Other than that: I didn't think you would compare it to Supernatural - its in a league of its own, I didn't expect that, just a few words about Grimm itself xP

Eagleheart and Mr. Meaty. Mr. Meaty is terribly underrated, the genius humor is lost on many

Did anyone catch the premier for The Walking Dead? It was pretty good although not what i was expecting

I chose to watch the Grammys instead, but it's definitely something I'll get to ASAP

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard the pacing is the same as it was during the first half of the season. I really got into TWD with the first season, but now that Darabont has left, it has turned into a snore feast.

 

[xi0]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Darabont didn't leave apparently, he was fired due to budget reasons.

 

[Aazholh]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Oh yeah, I forget he was fired. But you can't deny that the quality has taken a drop since his ouster. I read that he intended to show some of the events prior to season one. Oh well, whatever.

There were a couple flashbacks wasn't there?

I still think the show is amazing, so I don't know if I can really say the quality has taken too noticeable of a drop in all honesty. We've already had more to watch this season than last season, so maybe it's simply a case of the action being slower?
