Topic: Tv Shows

I searched forum but i didn't find a proper topic about tv shows. Watching Alcatraz now, and waiting Walking Dead, Game of Thrones. I'm a huge Spartacus fan but new Spartacus, meh, my eyes still searching Andy.

- I watched 6 ep of Person of Interest but i didn't like it much.
- Terra Nova?? WTF, seriously.
- Boardwalk Empire, still great. Still amazing.
- Hell on Wheels is a good western tv show. But finished after 10 ep. I read some news there'll be a second season. I hope it will.

My top five;
1. Battlestar Galactica
2. Rome
3. Lost
4. Game of Thrones
5. Arrested Development

I still didn't find a feverish show like Lost, and a sci-fi like BSG. Btw Sarah Jones, damn she is hot. Alcatraz, i give 6.5/10 for now. smile (5 is for Sarah)

Re: Tv Shows

Have you checked out

Shameless or House of Lies? 

Damn funny

Re: 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.

Forums are boring, drinking is awesome.

Re: Tv Shows

^ Macy gets a lot of the credit, but I give more to the writers of Shameless

@VastOne

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.

Re: Tv Shows

Yes, we certainly do discuss tea in the coffee thread...and plum liquor...

I still haven't made the leap from a traditional telly to HTPC...finding a nice, inexpensive, Linux-friendly tuner card is on my "would be nice" list, but it keeps getting buried by more pressing matters.  Besides, all cable/satellite digital programming here in the US is encrypted, so...

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...
