Nope!

[Joey]

Yep, I'll give it a chance. great time slot, and I do like Lucy Lui.

[Ren]

I LOVE Cumberbatch so far!

[Stefancos]

Ooooooo that's tonight

In Treatment

Summer rerun, I think this is from 2010. Sunil, Adele, Jesse and Frances.

Still brilliant.

[Alexcremers]

I'm interested in AMC's Hell On wheels, even though it's clear the critics are divided over this show. Some call it Deadwood for dummies while others think it's really good. Supposedly, it's slow and with great visuals so it could be something for me.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Two of my friends watched it and LOVED it. I hope to check it out soon.

[Alexcremers]

I bought it on Blu-ray today. I think I'm gonna give up on OZ ... again.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Never seen that one

[Alexcremers]

Dated.

That, plus great acting.
LOVED it.

And Breaking Bad Season 5 amazing so far, as usual

Doctor Who Season 3: I have almost finished this season and on the whole I have to say this series is really getting better by the season. As I have said before Tennant is the quintessential Doctor and a fine actor to boot who really gets to show his whole repertoire in the role, often all in the same episode. The plots are varied, imaginative, silly, funny, frightening, emotional and exhilarating and quite often very smart and deal with very serious and mature issues amidst the alien weirdness. Freema Agyeman provides the female companionship this season and is not only easy to look at but a very good actress as well, proving to be a good foil for the Doctor in many respects, her performances skillfully ranging from comedy to heavy drama. I actually prefer her to Rose at this point. The effects have improved immensely and perhaps partly because of that you can see how the writers are confident to create bigger and visually more impressive plots and backdrops for these stories to unfold. The score is improving as well, the music providing genuine emotion and good commentary this season although Murray Gold blasts away in almost abandon when he gets a chance to score any scene. Some of them work better than others but also 0the music is best in the series thusfar. 3 episodes to go (the previous one I saw was the brilliant Blink) and I can't wait to see the season finale.

House was a detective? I thought he was a doctor.

I though it was a building.

Watched the pilot. It's reasonably good. Not as good as Deadwood but I wasn't expecting that. I'm mainly loving the visuals. From the look of it, I think it's shot on digital because it truly is Avatar sharp and superclear (no grain?). The level of writing is on the par with, let's say, Battlestar Galactica. It's not the crazy quality of a Mad Men, Breaking Bad or The Wire, if anyone should wonder. Of course, things can alway improve as more episodes pass by.

I'm rewatching my Animaniacs DVDs. This cartoon has held up amazingly well over the two decades... I find myself laughing at all the in-jokes and references I didn't get when I was younger. And I'm still laughing at the Looney Tunes style slapstick and gags... ah, this is one of the most underrated animated shows out there.

And those DVD sets really allow the viewer to appreciate the orchestral score (the opening song has some nice bass presence), which sounds nice and crisp in 5.1 surround. I wonder why a specialty company like LaLa Land Records hasn't gotten a CD release out for this show... it's all bitty and classic Mickey Mousing mostly, but it would be nice.

[Koray Savas]

Anyone here watch Supernatural? My friend is a fan and I saw a few episodes at his place the other day. It's pretty good.

[Alexcremers]

It looks like an ordinary TV show.

[Quint]

My mate just finished Deadwood and now he won't shut up about it. Looks like m finally gonna get around to watching it.

[Alexcremers]

You'll love it!

[Koray Savas]

That's what I always thought, but it's actually quite clever and funny.

[Alexcremers]

It's getting a low score on metacritic too, Koray. I wouldn't risk it and I certainly don't trust your friends.

Animaniacs is one of my favorite shows ever! I can't believe volume 4 of the DVD sets still hasn't been released! Luckily all the best episodes are in the first 3 volumes

As for the music, MV recently posted that LLL will look into doing a set of Animaniacs music after a few more volumes of DCAU stuff

[Wojo]

After Netflix unceremoniously decided to end my viewing of Stargate Atlantis with about six episodes left -- I had to jump ahead to watch the finale -- I have decided to continue my crush on Jewel Staite and resume Firefly.

I don't give a shit what Metacritic says. Why do you always let reviews dictate what you watch?

My friends have horrible taste, but like I said, from the three episodes I saw I thought it was pretty good. You obviously haven't seen any of it, so y'know... go away.

[Datameister]

I'm currently getting back into The X-Files. Fun stuff.

[Matt C]

A&E is putting out some solid original scripted programming. The Glades is light and frothy fun, while Longmire has a lot in common with FX's Justified. I say with the latter, the comparison is a good thing. Pairing up Timothy Olymphant's Raylan and Robert Taylor's Longmire in a crossover episode would be fun to see.

With so much available in the world, I always do a little inquiry before I spend money on a new series, Koray. For that I rely on my own impressions and that of others (people with good taste like crocs, metacritic and so on). These particular series don't look very special to me and that's how they are being generally perceived. Yes, your friends like it, that's about it. It need something more to convince me. In fact, I'm not interested.


Alex

[Koray Savas]

Who told you spend money? Watch an episode on this thing called a TV. If you're not interested fine, I was asking if anyone here has seen it. You haven't, so move along.

[MrJosh]

LOST - pilot episode...just to bring back the memories of a special time long ago...

[Alexcremers]

Watch an episode on this thing called a TV.

?

[Marc]

[Alexcremers]

Yeah!

[Jason LeBlanc]

We're almost done with season 2 of Breaking Bad. Hot damn its a great show

[BloodBoal]

And in the year of our Lord 2034, LeBlanc finally started watching Game of Thrones...

[Jason LeBlanc]

Game of Thrones is next after Breaking Bad

But we've got 3 more seasons of Breaking Bad after we finish 2

[Alexcremers]

Sadly, and for reasons unknown to me, season 3 of Breaking Bad isn't available in my primitive country ... so I must get it from the UK.
