Re: The Television Show Thread!

I'm really enjoying Lie To Me, each episode is really good.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Lie to Me is amazing; one of the few series I look forward to week to week; that and Modern Family. I still love House, but it's becoming stale; House as an individual is still fun, though, haha. And Heroes...I watch that out of habit now.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I have to agree with you dive! at the moment Lie to Me is one of those shows that doesn't disapoint. It's something I look forward to each week. House at the moment isn't bad but it isn't all that great either.

Community, Glee, and Family Guy are on top of my list as well.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

What type of show is Lie to Me? Is it a comedy, drama, etc...?

Glee has been hit or miss for me. No surprise, I prefer when the show goes for laughs as opposed to the over the top drama. The same goes for the singing. Some of it's been really good, and some of it is just complete garbage. Still, I'll continue to watch, though I am wondering how long it will take for them to finally partake in an actual competition.

Community has been consistently funny, not the best new comedy, but better than most. And yay for Dive, another Modern Family fan. IMHO, it is the best new comedy of the year.

As for new drama's I've been watching, V is definitely good. It's been a very interesting show so far, and I actually look forward to it every week. I've stopped watching Flash Forward.

Oh, anybody here watch 30 Rock? I was wondering what other peoples opinions of the new season are. I personally haven't enjoyed much of it. It's left me wondering how this show won so many emmy's. I would almost go as far as to call this season terrible. Perhaps it's just me though.

Drama. It's a CSI-like show, but the premise is based upon body language. They're universal, so they appear on everyone of any age, ethnicity, gender, et cetera. The characters on the show are essentially human lie detectors, and they are hired to find out who is lying.

Wonderful show. You don't need to start in the beginning to know what's going on, since the series is episodic. They might address something that's happened in previous episodes, but they'll do a quick "refresh" for the audience.

On of the best new shows in a while, IMO. There hasn't been a new comedy that struck my interest in a long time. The characters on this show are amazing, well scripted, and the actor portrayals are amazing. I really hope the series stays around for many years to come.

I've stopped watching Flash Forward.

So have I. I tried to give the series a chance, but it really tries too hard IMO.

They did, but it was in a pretty silly way IMO and still hasn't really had any effect.

Spoiler: VERY mild spoilers for episode 8 season 2

But last episode out was pretty sweet, finally something red-john related, best episode of the ones out yet. Season 2 has so far kept the same greatness from season 1.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

The Mentalist is ok, but I think is way too predictable. After the first 3 episodes it got boring for me.

Lie To Me, is awesome, as someone said is very educational too xD (And I LOVE how they put real life examples in their episodes)

I also watch The Big Bang Theory (which I think it's the best comedy series of this generation) and Glee. Also 30Rock, which I love because you can relate the jokes to real life,and House ofc.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I haven't finished watching season1 of The mentalist .

I like CSI LV, HOUSE, The criminal mind, and Project runway coz they are amazing~ but I dropped Dextor after finishing season 2.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

@ibra - I don't watch The Mentalist because I only have room for 1 fake psychic detective show in my list of must-watch shows. Psych, ftw. <33333

@predsfan - I agree that 30 Rock isn't quite as good this year as it has been in the past, but I wouldn't call it terrible either. It's still better than a lot of other shows on right now. We'll have to see if the emmys keep rolling in or not. I think a lot of times those awards are based purely on reputation, but what can you do? *shrug*
(Also, I just *have* to comment on your sig. Seriously, it's too awesome for words! )

It deosn't matter since he isn't a fake psychic detective, in fact he emphasizes that psychic powers don't exist.
And yes, Psych <33

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I'm thinking about picking up Dexter, whats everyone's opinion on it?

 

[bakagemi]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Dexter is really interesting for me. It was really surprising to discover that the reporter lady (don't really care for her name) is Trinity's daughter.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I assume you mean Carrie-Anne Moss?

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I've never had a chance to watch Dexter. It seems like a cool and interesting show but I just never had the time. Does anyone think it's worth watching? How many seasons are there anyway?

 

[predsfan]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Dexter's definitely worth checking out. Definitely puts a new twist on CSI type shows . It's one of my favorite shows at the moment. I would say watch the first season, at least (it's only 12 episodes). Then you'll really know if the show is for you or not.

Oh, and Dexter is currently about half way through it's 4th season.

Drama. It's a CSI-like show, but the premise is based upon body language. They're universal, so they appear on everyone of any age, ethnicity, gender, et cetera. The characters on the show are essentially human lie detectors, and they are hired to find out who is lying.

Sounds good, I'll have to check it out. Everything's about to go on winter break soon anyway, so I'll need something new to watch during that time.

@predsfan - I agree that 30 Rock isn't quite as good this year as it has been in the past, but I wouldn't call it terrible either. It's still better than a lot of other shows on right now.

Eh, perhaps *terrible* was too strong of a word, I mean I am still watching it . I guess it's just that I really enjoyed the first few seasons, and this current just seems too meh for my liking. Especially when I compare to some other comedies running that I really like.

That being said, if any episodes from this season win an emmy then I'll riot , especially considering I didn't think it really deserved the ones it got this year.

Jim Parsons>>>>>Alec Baldwin

(Also, I just *have* to comment on your sig. Seriously, it's too awesome for words! )

Well, the win is strong with Zapp (possibly the greatest character ever created in the history of history ) and it's TV related so not off topic in this thread .

Sounds good. The series isn't long so far, 13 episodes in season 1, about 8 have been shown of season 2. It just got picked up for an extension for season 2, so it's going to be way longer than season 1. But as you said, the winter break is coming up, so you'll have plenty of time to watch all of them.

Have fun!
