TV The Television Show Thread

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Terra Nova got canned. Can't say I'm not surprised with it being on FOX and all. Thankfully, I didn't invest any time in watching it. Learning my lesson when I got into Surface a few years back.

I am going to be biased, but I will ask in this form: Is anyone else excited for the return of the best show(cartoon, satire) in recent history, South Park this week? I mean I love that they are back with a typical episode of satirizing recent events to the core!

I saw that new episodes were coming the other day, so yeah, looking forward to it

What do you think of the preview clip? If you have seen it, hard to predict, but it seems police/government agents are the target. I wonder what will the theme be.

Yeah, the TSA as well :CD

Haha, Department of Homeland Security! I thought they might do contraception/birth control stuff, though they might tackle that in this one as well as sub-theme. Either way for the prime theme I expect some dystopian references as well. Should be a nice opener, the last one of the last season was not my taste, it was good, but I always think they can do better.

Some of the earlier episodes last season really fell flat with me, particularly the iPad spoof. But some episodes were fantastic.

Yeah, some obvious parodies are not that good, even thought they try to make them as absurd as they can. But when they do a plot with it as well, like in "1%" then they really capture the very fabric of the series. When they specifically involve a character like Cartman or Kyle they can not go wrong. Even Stan and Kenny or Butters but the previous tow are their favorites it seems.

Any Butters-centric episode is pretty much guaranteed to be hilarious in my opinion. The 1% parody was really good.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

For a show I randomly picked up, I am starting to slowly get addicted to Once Upon A Time. Or rather, to Rumplestiltskin: what an awesome and mysterious character with actual depth. Thank god the tv show is nothing like what it seemed like from the plot description and first episode. Not that the pilot was bad, at all.

Spoiler: Rumplestitlskin

It appears like Chevy Chase is completely out of it. He's been having this verbal fights with the creator since Chevy supposedly walked out in the middle of a finale and said "I'm done". Usually it's between the two but in the latest by Chevy he attacks nt only the creator but all crew and the sitcom calling it mediocre etc.

Not another Charlie Sheen case... I actually find Community hilarious.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I have to question the authenticity here. It might be for publicity considering how notorious Chase is for being like this. That and why would Dan Harmon record it? What does he have to get back at Chase for? He's still on the show...it doesn't make sense if it's real.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Hmm? I'm not quite familiar with Chevy's antics IRL but what you're saying's definitely plausible. Hopefully at least. But as for the recording it's supposedly been more than a single incident so it not that surprising.

As for why he would get back at Chase for, Chase walked out on season 3 finale (supposedly because of a sub par script) --> Dan made a speech about Chase --> chase said this.
I don't know. Not the first time celebrities started a "feud" just for publicity (cough Eminem-Mariah cough)

Re: The Television Show Thread!

It was just a theory, I don't know. It seems like if Chase bugged-out on set I'm not sure it required him recording a phone call with him. Who knows.

Chevy Chase has been known to be difficult throughout his entire career. Community is the first thing he's done in a long time.

yup... Once upon a Time and Person of Interest were the most appealing new Series this season for me.
The Episodes that took the focus to the love-story of Snow and Charming were a little dragged out in the end but other characters such as Rumpelstilskin or the Mad Hatter are very well written and have an interesting agenda.
A friend of mine called it "Lost with fairy-tale characters"... with all the mysteries and the flashback-narration I think it kinda fits.

Is anybody watching Person of Interest around here? Caviezel is cool as hell and works great with Emerson.
If highly recommend this for anyone who likes a good conspiracy-procedural.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Well South Park is starting up, I am excited to see what they will pull towards the end of the season with the US election coming up. The last episode airs a day after the election, I think there will be a two part episode about the election, one before and one after it.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

For any NCIS fans out there, producers have revealed that this season will be the year "Tiva"(Tony & Ziva) make headway in their relationship. As well as the bombshell that was the bombing of the Navy yard, season 10 will be a lot about how Gibbs goes out of his way for revenge and settle matters with the ones responsible.

More preview info here.


Season 10 Premiered last night btw~

Re: The Television Show Thread!

The thick of it is going to end next week. 7 years and 24 episodes. It has been a genuine joy in watching this show. I don't know how to feel yet, but I do know I am not sad it is going to end. All good things must one day end, I am just glad I have gotten the opportunity to watch such quality television. It has been of the highest standard both in its writing and in the performances. I am going to miss it the intelligent satire pervasive throughout it.

And fuck im going to miss those one-liners.

I like watching Family Guy

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I have to admit I love how Once Upon a Time has implemented Hook (from Peter Pan) into the whole story while explaining his backstory including his fear of Crocodiles. Not very excited about the whole Cora thing but it seems like the logical step with what's happening to Regina and all.

That and Frankenstein story was indeed awesome, though no monster yet =(
