What is the last Television series you watched?

[Brónach 1,330]

Has anyone here seen Masada, and if so, how was it?

[Naïve Old Fart 13,020]

Has anyone here seen Masada, and if so, how was it?

I watched "Masada" when it was first on TV, in nineteen-eighty-whenever. I remember that Peter O' Toole was particularly good, and that it was a pleasure to watch David Warner. Peter Strauss was also good, and that the ending was sad, but also strangely uplifting. The score was...

[Brónach 1,330]

It sounds like something for me. I'll see it.

[KK 3,313]

Just found out that the first ep of Dexter's season 7 came out. I'll get to it when I get the time. Anyone watched it?

[Jay 46,241]

It was good, gonna be an interesting season

Loved it, with so many dialogue scenes that really flesh out the characters. I love these epics with huge canvas and yet parelel the conflict with the much more intimate conflict between the main characters. Like The Bridge on the River Kwai, in a way.

And Goldsmith's score is my favorite work of his

I love the OST by varese. Far more then the actual film tracks.

[Wojo 2,458]

Thanks, Thor.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

South Park's first two episodes this season were pretty funny, and very wrong.

[Wojo 2,458]

I caught the tail end of last week's episode (and the punch line) while waiting for this week's episode to begin. I would have to agree with your assessment.

Poor Randy Newman...

[A24 5,155]

Rutger Hauer joins True Blood Season 6 as series regular:

Alex

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384]

I never knew that was an Alexcremers show?

[A24 5,155]

It's an amusing, campy TV soap.

Alex - watching season 2 of Boardwalk Empire and so far it's really good.

Saturday Night Live 38x01 Seth MacFarlane / Frank Ocean

Seth MacFarlane did a great job! He was very funny in just about every skit, and was never staring at cue cards like so many other hosts until the stuttering drill sergeant skit. The funniest skit for us was the Gangnam Style skit, which is interesting cause neither of us had ever seen the original video before! For those who haven't seen it, its awesome

[media=]

We didn't watch Frank Ocean, and none of the new cast members impressed me

Parks and Recreation 5x01 Ms. Knope Goes To Washington

I love this show, and am so glad it's back. Years ago now it surpassed The Office as the better Deedle-Dee comedy, mostly due to the great cast changes they made (dumping Paul Schneider and adding Rob Lowe and Adam Scott, plus increasing the focus on Leslie's coworkers). Anyway, this season premiere was strong, I enjoy the new setting of Ben and April being in Washington DC for a while, and you gotta love Ron Swanson's obsession with grilled meat. Thank god the Tom/Ann romance is over, and the glittery laundy detergent and face cream were good gags

The Office 9x01 New Guys

The Office limps into its final season with an episode that is actually much better than anything that's happened since Michael left. They've been adding so many characters over the years I dunno why they felt compelled to add two more, but at least they god rid of two to make up for it. Not sure why Nelly is still around either, and where's Gabe? The strongest part of the episode was Jim deciding to do something with his life and not just work at a paper company forever, I've been waiting for a storyline like this for a while. I've also been waiting for what happened in the beginning for a while - the characters discussing the filming of the documentary being filmed withe camera men! I hope this season features an episode where the filmed footage gets released, and the characters get to react to their "celebrity"

[JoeinAR 1,957]

My heart break for a moment last night when Sheldon in a non geek, non sarcastic, suddenly human moment asked Penny please don't hurt my friend.

[Brónach 1,330]

Another pair of questions.

How's Deadwood? Anyone's seen it?

And BBC's Human Planet? Is it too antropocentric and "humans are awesome" or is it cool to watch?

[Wojo 2,458]

Whoops. Totally forgot TBBT was on last night.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384]

Another question.

How's Deadwood? Anyone's seen it?

Good family viewing.

[A24 5,155]

Deadwood is very good. It's one of the most daring shows ever. It's like a modern day Shakespeare combined with some Robert Altman.

[TheHouseholdCat 4]

All of How I Met Your Mother. I'm just not sure whether I should like it.

Big Bang season premiere is tonight.

Good series. Wittier than most other popular TV series.

[Brónach 1,330]

All of How I Met Your Mother. I'm just not sure whether I should like it.

I remember I saw several seasons at a time when I didn't have much to watch. Later I dropped out.

Indeed. The show continues to be great comedy. The Tom/Ann relationship was the worst part about the lsat season so I'm glad thats over. Having seen both new episodes, I'm glad the show is still at the top of its game.

The Office 9x01 New Guys

The Office limps into its final season with an episode that is actually much better than anything that's happened since Michael left. They've been adding so many characters over the years I dunno why they felt compelled to add two more, but at least they god rid of two to make up for it.

I hope this season features an episode where the filmed footage gets released, and the characters get to react to their "celebrity"

I hated the fact that they had to add two new characters. You're at your final season and you want to bring the story-lines of all the characters you've grown accustomed to a befitting end. The way they got rid of Kelly and Ryan was a bit cheap. And the guy who plays Gabe never signed on for the season, so he won't be coming back.

But I like the direction this season is taking. The first 3 episodes went quite well for this season and is an improvement from the last one. The tension in Jim and Pam's relationship is a welcomed change. I look forward to seeing the course of this season, although Andy's character continues to be infuriating as ever.

Also watched the season premiere of 30 Rock. So Liz and Jack intend to tank NBC eh? The episode was good enough but the Hazel character still makes me want to puke. Let's hope this season plays out to be better than the last. I wonder how they'll end it; this being one of my favourite television comedies and all.

[Jay 46,241]

I haven't watched any more Offices this year beyond the season premiere but glad to hear its still an improvement over last year.

Can't wait to catch up on 30 Rock and P&R! 30 Rock was so BRILLIANT when it first came out, but has been declining slowly as the years go on. I'm glad this will be it's last. Seems like 7 years is about how long any show should run for, especially comedies.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384]

Most shows run out of steam long before that.

[KK 3,313]

Big Bang Theory for example.

[Brónach 1,330]

I've just seen the first episode of Breaking Bad and I liked it. I'll probably watch more.

Edit: I saw episode 2.

[KK 3,313]

Its really great stuff, and it really picks up in season 2. I'm think you'll love it Chaac.

[A24 5,155]

I just ordered Breaking Bad S4. What great times we're living in! Remember the days when we only had TV shows like 7th Heaven, Beastmaster and The Cosby Show?!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384]

I loved the Cosby Show.

[Brónach 1,330]

Its really great stuff, and it really picks up in season 2. I'm think you'll love it Chaac.

I saw the third episode and I think I will.

[A24 5,155]

I loved the Cosby Show.

And let's face it, 7th Heaven had ...

Alex

Ps: BTW, screw Cosby! We now have ... them!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384]

LOL very white!

[Brónach 1,330]

Got The IT Crowd.

[Jay 46,241]

The IT Crowd is great!!! Sadly it keeps dropping off from season to season but man was it brilliant when it debuted!

[gkgyver 1,647]

Just had a LOST season 4 marathon.

In fact, I have a LOST marathon in general. I watch the season chronologically, and have arrived at the end of season 4 now. What I find amazing is that they are stranded on this island for barely a month, and they walk from location to location like it's nothing, like there are giant highway signs nailed to the trees.

Or that people become awesome track readers in an instant, like Kate being able to tell that those tracks she found are definitely not Sawyer's or Jack's.

Apart from that, absolutely brilliant series.

And, for god's sake, don't spoil season 5 for me.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Kate didn't become a tracker when they crashed, she had those skills before.

Season 4's "The Constant" is one of my favorite episodes of the series.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Season 5 and 6 are the best of the entire series.

[The Psycho Pianist 221]

Just started watching Merlin season 5. Undoubtedly the best series the BBC have produced since RTD Doctor Who/Robin Hood. The soundtrack by Rob Lane is also awesome, something that the BBC seem to have mastered in continuation from Andy Price's incredible Robin Hood score a few years back.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

Season 5 and 6 are the best of the entire series.

Season 5 was brilliant, and I didn't have any complaints about season 6 either.

[Jay 46,241]

I agree that seasons 5-6 are much stronger than seasons 1-3 on the whole. The music especially is sublime.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Jay 46,241]

I said on the whole. There are terrific episodes in every season

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Two Broke Girls was hilarious last night.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

"The Incident" trumps anything that came before it.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Naïve Old Fart 13,020]

Two Broke Girls was hilarious last night.

Was that the season 2 opener?

[Brónach 1,330]

"The Incident" trumps anything that came before it.

I don't like plot holes.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

no it was the third episode of the season,

KK you're completely off base about Big Bang Theory, but keep up the insipid snide remarks, clearly you've jumped the shark.
