Tv Shows

I think American Horror Story (it's on FX) might have some of the people behind Lost writing for it. Certainly has the same "made up as they go along" feeling as Lost, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Good luck finding a decent Sci-Fi these days. Dr. Who is just not up to the task anymore (no flame wars for that please, you can't deny it's nothing like it was in the glory days) and all the new offerings take themselves too seriously to work with their campy premises (like Terra Nova). Well, that or they fall to the same problem as Person of Interest; I mean the whole freaking show is based on a guy who understands computers and he spends part of every episode proving the writers of the show don't! You can fall back on Lexx though if you need a trashy sci-fi fix (can't believe it's ten years old).

Shameless is pretty great, but 80-90% of that greatness is William H. Macey.

Mate i got my friend's external and it got all episodes of Shameless but i didn't watch. She said that to watch them all, it's a great show but i didn't. I don't know why. I didn't heard House of Lies. I'll look a trailer from youtube.

@ethrg

Damn i forgot Lexx. Smallville, 10, long years. I watched when i saw on the tv. Not a regular Smallville watcher. But a great, amazing sci-fi Firefly mate. No show achieve its reputation with 12 eps.

So does that mean I can talk about tea in the coffee thread, or does that cross a line it's better not to cross.

Anyone else watched Misfits? It's some brit show my wife heard about from god knows where, and uproariously funny. Just finished watching season two a few weeks back and its great. Kind of a raunchy much less annoying version of Heros. It turned us on to this actor who had a roll in This Is England (2006) which went on to become a very watchable tv show of the same name. It's not for everyone but has a particular appeal to anyone of a certain age.

Just out of idle curiosity what do you folks watch your tv on? I'm assuming something other than the standard. I'm my case we have an old Xbox1 with a 500GB HDD running XBMC.

You seem to be enough of an old hand to know how to avoid that minor difficulty in an entirely legal fashion so I'll just assume that's sarcasm. But honestly depending on what you really want to do there's plenty of cheap cards out there. You'd be surprised by just what xawtv will work with these days...

Damn, i missed that one. Sorry.
