Kelverin Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Ari Gold is indeed awesome, especially combined with Lloyd, but otherwise I didn't think season 4 of Entourage was all that. I agree, I thought the show hit it's peak in Season two, but it's still ****ing funny sometimes. Just watched Drama **** a furry J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Pope Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) I've also picked up a few shows lately in the mean time, Psych and Monk. I used to catch a glimpse of these shows and scoff from afar but they are actually pretty good. Psyche is actually a really good show considering its on cable tv and actually funny. Mind you it's a silly kind of humor but I like it none the less. I'll give Psych and Monk a try, but since I don't have all the time in the world, with which one should I start? Edit: I think I'll start with Psych since it has less episodes out yet. Edited August 30, 2008 by Pope
theslug Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah psych is the better of the two imo. I've only really seen a handful of episodes of Monk. I wouldn't look into the early episodes of the show if you plan on watching though since they had some like New Yorker chick being his assistant and I like the new girl a lot better. Some of the episode titles alone bring psych into even more awesomerness. For instance "Gus' dad may have killed an old guy." I know what your thinking. A lead character named Gus? preposterously sweet, I know. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Pope Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Yesterday I finished watching Stephen Hawking's Universe. It's 11 years old now but still quite up to date. I was very impressed, especially with the episodes dealing with the big bang and black holes. Sometimes I really think I should've become a scientist. I've also discovered dozens more documentaries about intriguing topics such as space, time and brains, but sadly there is not enough time to watch them all.

Gfted1 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 So I caught the premier of the Knight Rider redo and Im not sure what to think. The acting is poor and the first story was pretty goofy. On the other hand its full of hot babes and action scenes, IE: the short lived show Fastlane. Kit is significantly more advanced then the previous version and now sports full transformation capabilities. I'll give it a couple more episodes just for the lulz.

Volourn Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I found the atcing alright. Action wa sokay. The new KITT abilities are lame, over the top, and nothing more than a way to do 'deux es machina'... ie. missle strikes the care, and the car laughs it off? GMAB! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Pope Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 omg I laughed my ass off at the latest South Park episode
jaguars4ever Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Burn Notice season 2 starts tomorrow night. Go Bruce Campbell! Bruce Campbell? Where? Tachyon: The Fringe!
Arkan Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia best show on television. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
theslug Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia best show on television. I just watched the newest episode. Season 4 Episode 7 - 6:40 - Possibly the funniest thing ever said on cable tv. I honestly didn't see that coming but it was hilarious and extremely crude but that's how I like it. So far tv has been sub par lately. Fringe and Heroes have sucked. Entourage has been decent at best. House is alright. There are some bright spots though, star wars clone wars, always sunny and the ultimate fighter have been pretty good thus far. Haven't watched dexter becuase I'm waiting for a huge binge on it but i'm sure it's awesome and I can't wait.

Hurlshort Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Yeah, I gave up on Fringe. Have I mentioned Big Bang Theory people?
Aristes Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 We're DVRing Fringe. It's not entirely bad, but too many things keep distracting me from the show. First of all, the gimmicky way that they present the locations suck. Second, the fact that it seems to be running late series weird ideas in the first season seems a bit perplexing. I mean, the last show didn't jump the shark, but it looked like they were putting a big shark tank out in the parking lot. Really, it just hasn't been exciting. However, I'm still going to finish out this season, I think. It's kind of odd, but I've always hated television until two things changed. TV shows on DVD and the DVR. I want to watch shows when I want to watch them, not necessarily when the networks want to show them. House has definitely run out of steam and they're pretty desperate. This whole Wilson breaking up with House thing is simply the sort of white knuckle ploy that shows pull when they lose steam. Still, the premise of the show is good and we might get a few more seasons out of it. My wife watches all sorts of crap that barely rises to the level of notice and sometimes doesn't even evince contempt. Ghost Whisperer, Ugly Betty, Pushing Daisies, etc.
GreasyDogMeat Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Only thing I've been watching on TV recently has been Sarah Connor Chronicles & Stargate: Atlantis. I really liked this Monday's Terminator where John & Reese go to a military school to save a future leader from a terminator sent back to kill him. No episode this coming Monday though.

BS:G, T:SCC, and Death Note were by far in large the best things on TV in 2008. Shame the monologues have been replaced with teh uber cheesy intro though.
roshan Posted October 24, 2009 Author Posted October 24, 2009 So since starting this thread, Ive watched (or am in the process of watching): In Treatment Generation Kill Stargate Universe Carnivale Oz Californication Entourage True Blood Mad Men Breaking Bad Sons of Anarchy Dexter Flashforward Heroes Veronica Mars This was my old list: Battlestar Galactica Jericho Terminator Lost Desperate Housewives 24 (first season only) Prison Break Rome The Shield Firefly The Wire Deadwood The Sopranos The Black Donnellys Weeds Now I'm looking for more shows! Will read through this thread again later looking to see what I've missed.
Hiro Protagonist Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Some shows that haven't been mentioned but you might want to try: Boston Legal Castle Crash Harpers Island Kings Kyle XY Legend of the Seeker Leverage Lie to Me Life on Mars New Amsterdam The Mentalist Threshold Edited October 24, 2009 by Hiro Protagonist
Aristes Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Actually, Fringe has grown on me. I like it now. It's not my favorite, but it's good. Flashforward is good. House is much better this season than last season: The Season of Suck. I've been following Eureka. I watch LOST which the wife hates. Otherwise, I don't really care about most shows, but the better half watches the Mentalist, Bones, Numbers, How I Met Your Mother, Leverage, Ugly Betty, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and Ghost Whisperer. I don't really mind any of those except Ghost Whisperer, which I utterly despise.
Pope Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) second half of season 13 of South Park started airing recently, and I must say the 3 episodes out so far are much better than the other half Breaking Bad is awesome btw Edited October 24, 2009 by Pope
Raithe Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Could always catch up with Burn Notice... (especially if you're waiting impatiently for Alpha Protocol...) Although they are in that annoying mid-season pause at the moment... dang it. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
roshan Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Finally finished the Wire. **** that was an amazing show. Only The Shield has left as big a void. The Mad Men and Dexter season finales were amazing, looks like both shows will be shaking things up for next season. Mad Men's last is definitely one of the best season finales ever. What're everyone's thoughts on Sons of Anarchy and Damages? Surprised not to see any mention of them.... A lot of interesting HBO shows seem to be on the way.... Cocaine Cowboys, Treme, Game of Thrones, Gentlemen of Leisure, Boardwalk Empire, The Pacific.... Add that to already existing shows like True Blood, In Treatment and Big Love and we might just be looking at a new golden age of HBO dramas. Looking forward to the premier of Spartacus. Looks like cross between Gladiator, Rome and 300. Also, am wondering, which of the following shows is most deserving of my time: 1. Six Feet Under 2. Rescue Me 3. Brotherhood ?
Kelverin Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Six Feet Under - Best show ever made! If you are a fan of True Blood and who is not, it;s made by the same creator Alan Ball http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0050332/ Big Love starts this Sunday, hell of a show as well.

Gorgon Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Always sunny is pretty good and House is supreme. Hugh Laurie is good, the formula of the show though is getting really old. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Hurlshort Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I'm ready for Chuck to start up again next week.
