Television Shows (NEW ARCHER IN TWO :EEKS)

[Tadao]

Cool, I taped a bunch of them on vhs, I had like 12 tapes with 3 on each, but those got burned down with the house. Stupid fire. I probably had more like 6 tapes, but really 10. IDK

Thanks to the both of yas.

[executioneer]

also remember: they didn't really start getting good until season 2

[Tadao]

Yeah, I kinda remember some episodes where they didn't really seem as comfortable as they usually were.

[Mad Melvin]

Anyone watching Rescue me? The show has gone downhill since the excellent second season, but I keep hoping that maybe it'll reach the same heights again. Third season was ok, fourth was just horrible, but the currently airing fifth season is pretty decent. The later episodes at least. The ones with Michael J. Fox were kinda awkward. I mean, I like the guy but damn. :(

[Mad Melvin]

Just bought Oz - the complete series. Haven't watched this show in years and this seems to be even better than I remembered. But if my memory serves me correctly, the show kinda went downhill after season 3.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Picked up The State and halfway through season 1.

[Kitsa]

Just saw another episode of Locked Up Abroad the other day. British woman went to Goa, got into the rave thing there, started getting into drugs and heavy boozing, ran out of money. Dipshit fellow tourist recommended that she stuff brass Ganesh statues full of hash and ship them abroad. Of course she does it, and of course she gets caught.

Cue weepy prison experience.

What the hell did she think was going to happen?

[Zhukov]

Just bought Oz - the complete series. Haven't watched this show in years and this seems to be even better than I remembered. But if my memory serves me correctly, the show kinda went downhill after season 3.
Yeah, I bought the entire series not too long ago, and about half way through all the best characters were dead, and the plotlines were just getting wacky and unrealistic. Still, it was great while it lasted.

[Dimnos]

What the hell did she think was going to happen?

That she was going to make a lot of money and live happily ever after. The same exact thing all the drug traffickers on that show think.

[Kitsa]

Suppose so. I was busy watching her technique for unwrapping, kneading and stuffing the hash into the statue, then sealing it with plaster and covering with gold paint. Does the plaster ruin the hash it touches? Because if it did, that was a good $30 of her $150 hash purchase gone. Seemed smarter to leave it wrapped.

[Dimnos]

I wouldnt buy hash mixed with plaster. :(

[Tadao]

There's a Heroes marathon on G4, I'm glad I set my brothers dvr to record them this morning cause I would never wake up and watch it.

[FistfulOAwesome]

Hey, everybody remember to catch Into The Wild Green Yonder tonight on Comedy Central! It's by far the best of the Futurama movies (Hell, it's the only one that isn't a disappointment). This one has Heart. Seriously, watch it.

[Tadao]

There was nothing wrong with the other ones. People like you are what cause cancellations.

[FistfulOAwesome]

People like the idiotic FOX executives are the ones who cause cancellations. People like me who bought every box set and movie (Day One!) are the ones who brought it back (Matt and David have thanked the fans in many interviews for continuing to support the show).

I don't want to get into any stuff with you. Let's both agree that ITWGY is fantastic and that everybody should see it, okay?

P.S. If you care to know why I don't like the other 3, here's a link to an insanely long post where I write why the first three suck to various degrees and why ITWGY is a godsend: http://www.peelified.com/index.php?topic=17266.msg1021789#msg1021789

P.P.S. Would you like to say that to Dr. Boogie? Because he didn't like the first three either: http://www.i-mockery.com/weeklies/weekly.php?type=movies&id=81

[Tadao]

Oh, Dr. Boogie. That's different. I always make a habit of hiding my opinions from Dr. Boogie. :rolleyes

[FistfulOAwesome]

How is he different? Because you won't tell off a site contributor like you told off a site commenter? If that's true that just makes you a hypocrite.

[Tadao]

Wow, you are dense.

[Sam]

TADAO YOU ARE A PUSSY MAN WHY DON'T YOU TELL DR BOOGIE WHAT YOU THINK MAN ARE YOU SCARED OR SOMETHING MAN YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT YOU PUSSY

[Tadao]

I have never once disagreed with Boogie on anything and I'm not about to now!

[Sam]

THEY ALL SUCKED ANYWAYS

[Tadao]

Especially when you read to much into it, like say buying every box set and watching them over and over finding little jokes you never noticed before or writing an insanely long post on how you don't like it because it didn't do what you wanted it to do. Over excited fanboys have killed way too many good cartoons. :tear

[FistfulOAwesome]

I warned ya.

Also, wow, I actually care about the way the series is handled and don't like it when the writers forget why it was worth bringing back in the first place (high-brow jokes/character-related humor that gets funnier every time, great stories, great character development, occasionally touching). It's almost like I'm a fan or something.

Listen man, all I wrote was that a good movie was going to be on, and I was alerting all the people who didn't buy the DVD their chance to see it. I also made a quick judgment on the other films. You were free to disagree with me on that.

But then you had to state that somehow me not liking the films was tantamount to me contributing to the cancellation of the series. I watched every episode of that show whenever FOX would actually show it, and I bought the DVD box sets and movies on the first day (or close to).

That's supporting the series, because FOX doesn't care if people like a product, only if they'll pay for it. It just so happens that in general people don't buy crap products so they have to at least try to make good ones.

Point being, "Fan" doesn't mean you blindly support every part of what you are a fan of. It just means that you like something a lot. That doesn't mean you have to like all of it. If you enjoy the other movies, more power to you. I don't. But I'm still a fan of the series (just a more critical one (that's what that long post you apparently thumbed through is, a critique)).

[Tadao]

Actually, you didn't just say that the new movie is airing, you called the others a disappointment, therefore you are open to criticism. What I stated is that saying 3 sucky movies to one good movie is the kind of thing that gets shows canceled. Those aren't good odds and if you "fans" keep saying things like that, what network will wanna keep the show alive? You then had to dazzle me with your fandom.

But whatever, you go ahead and keep saying that out of the new season only 1/4 of it was any good. I'm sure Matt and David will thank you again for your support.

[Tadao]

BTW The difference between you and Boogie, he was doing a review.

[Tadao]

I apologize, I know you were just promoting the show and I didn't express why I feel you did it in a harmful way properly. When I had the chance to explain myself, I chose be a dick instead.

[FistfulOAwesome]

Edit: Thanks? I mean, I wasn't expecting an apology. I'm not going to change the text below this edit, but thank you for the apology. We're both fans here and we simply have differing opinions (the source of all fighting). Listen, at the end of the day, no matter whether I dislike some of the movies while you liked them, the series is back. That's something we can both agree is good and worthy of looking forward to. Truce?

First of all, see the first sentence in the quote below me? Yeah, that looks like an alert that states that the new (to TV viewers) movie is going to be on.

Hey, everybody remember to catch Into The Wild Green Yonder tonight on Comedy Central! It's by far the best of the Futurama movies (Hell, it's the only one that isn't a disappointment). This one has Heart. Seriously, watch it.

Second, saying you don't like something doesn't mean it will be canceled. Transformers 2 was absolutely trashed by critics nationwide, yet that movie went on to make more than 3 Million at the Box Office.

20th Century Fox doesn't care if the fans (and this is usually only a vocal, core base) don't like something. They only care if it sold. As long as it keeps making money, they will keep making it. Hell, Futurama fans like myself are the most likely to keep watching, even if it turns bad (I kept buying the DVD movies). I'll never give up on this series if there is at least one ray of hope.

Admittedly, at the release of ITWGY, my hopes were very low. I was disappointed by the quality of the three previous efforts, and I wasn't expecting anything. If ITWGY had turned out to be an average or bad episode (like the previous movies), I would have rather had the series dead (why let it live on as a shadow of it's former self?).

Thankfully, the writers managed to pull it together for the last movie, not only redeeming the entire concept of Futurama in movie format (so the other ones were bad because they had bad content and were badly written, not because Futurama doesn't work in movie format), but ending up releasing what I think is the best episode of Futurama (any sparkly eyes I had for the movie has long since faded. Since I still think it's the best episode, 6 months after its release, that means that must be my real feeling).

Third, my problem isn't that you disagreed with me. It's that you accused any fan (in this case me) of being "bad" for the series simply because I didn't like some of it. If the writers write bad episodes, I'll call them out on it. I love Futurama (and brought it back by buying the DVD's) because it is a consistently high-quality series. If an episode comes out that isn't high-quality (especially an 88-minute long movie that I payed 20 bucks for), I'm not going to kiss the writers asses anyway. I'll tell them (by posting on forums they'll never read) they screwed up and hope that they don't do it again.

As for my 1/4 love of the new season, that's only if I judge them as full movies. In that regard, they all fail except for ITWGY. However, as parts, it ends up being more like 2 and a half/4 good. If you care to skim through my linked post, you'll notice that I think that BBS is okay (but held back by a certain lack of humor and the mismanaged Paradox-Correcting Time Code), BWABB is truly terrible (bad "jokes", bad characterization, absolutely terrible story, it's only saving graces are Deathball and the Pirate battle, but that's no where near enough to save it), and the first half of BG delivers (it could have worked on it's own, but is needlessly tied to the wasted Fantasy section).

It's just that for what could have been the last Futurama, I didn't want "okay". I didn't want excuses ("I guess it was alright, but...). I wanted to see Futurama resurrected, not zombified from it's grave. The first three shambled, picking apart everything that was great about the series, and adding little in return. It wasn't till ITWGY descended from the Heavens (AKA Amazon.com's storage facilities) that Futurama had truly come back for me. That new season is something I'm very excited for, since I don't think the writers will be making the same mistakes they did with the first three movies (they can't afford to now).

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed ITWGY, and further enjoys the new season debuting tentatively June, 2010. I know I'm looking forward to it.

[Tadao]

We should take it to the Futurama thread at this point. But I'm not gonna. Viva LaFuturama

[FistfulOAwesome]

For as long as you are good, you will have fans to hold you in high regard, Futurama. Live long and prosper!

[Dimnos]

FistfulOCock... No one wants to read that wall of text about how you feel. That is why you have to pay psychiatrists.

[Krythor]

Yeah really, relax.

Have you started season 2 of the wire milhouse?

[stevetothepast]

FistfulOCock... No one wants to read that wall of text about how you feel. That is why you have to pay psychiatrists.

:lol good call dim

[FistfulOAwesome]

FistfulOCock... No one wants to read that wall of text about how you feel. That is why you have to pay psychiatrists.

Right, because this isn't a Forum, which by definition is a public area of discussion (of opinion).

Nice jab with the whole OCock thing. Haha! You're insinuating that I'm gay or lame. I would say that one took you a few minutes, but a person with such biting wit such as yourself would have no trouble coming up with such a clever line in mere seconds.

Also, did I force you to read that post? You are free to skip over it.

Finally, a "wall of text" is when someone writes out several paragraphs and forgets to space them, giving the impression of a wall. I spaced out mine, if you care to notice.

[Dimnos]

Does that make you feel better?

[FistfulOAwesome]

Again, no one forced you to read it. Skip over it, I don't care.

Why a big-ass post anyway? It's simply how I write. I didn't think I could properly counter Tadao's post with less words (because that's who that big-ass post was for, Tadao).

[Dimnos]

It was just a tip bro. ;)

[stevetothepast]

you should have pm'ed him.

[FistfulOAwesome]

Anyway, on to non-easily-excitable-fanboy business, anybody remember Goosebumps: The TV Series? I've been watching it on Youtube and have been pleasantly surprised to find out that I don't have nostalgia goggles for it. It really was a well-crafted television show.

It kinda reminds me that I've always loved story-of-the-week shows ( like The Twilight Zone and, to lesser extents, shows like So Weird and The X-Files), and it sucks that no more are being produced (although I haven't checked out Supernatural (maybe I'll give it a chance)).

[Krythor]

No matter how little you write from now on and on what subject my brain will automatically reject it and skip over every word. Sorry.

[executioneer]

guys i automatically ignore anything people who have the built-in forum avatars say, you should try it sometime

[stevetothepast]

sometimes I wish the stallone cobra built in avatar wasn't a choice. Because it's bad-ass.

[Dimnos]

guys i automatically ignore anything people who have the built-in forum avatars say, you should try it sometime


Good advice. :bow

[FistfulOAwesome]

I like Wackosaurs.

[Dimnos]

Burgertime Baddies is WAY better. :rolleyes

[executioneer]

i like cake

[Aimless]

I like eerie indiana :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I wish they would release The Pirates of Dark Water on dvd and make a damned final episode.

Noi Jatat

[Esuohlim]

Yeah really, relax.

Have you started season 2 of the wire milhouse?

Yeah I'm about halfway through it. The beginning of the season is kind of jarring because of the sudden focus on middle class workers on the docks. For some reason I haven't felt entirely motivated to watch this season. :(

[FistfulOAwesome]

I like eerie indiana :(

Coincidentally, I was about to start watching Eerie, Indiana as soon as I was finished with Goosebumps.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've been trying to watch the Buffalo, NY episode of cops for 5 years and I finally saw it the other day. It was pretty outrageous though. They found a dead guy in lake Erie with full on rigor mortis set in. Also there was an unecessary helicopter chase.

[Babs]

Down here in Columbus, there was some insane shoot out with cops which involved some man running around with an ak-47. But on to what I've been watching. Recently, I've been interested in East Bound and Down which is actually kind of hilarious.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched my first episode of "Sons of Anarchy" and liked it. It was weird seeing Katey Segal getting raped by a white supremacist Henry Rollins though. :(

[Aimless]

aww I love Rollins :(


I've had the second season of I'm Alan Partridge on my Ipod and I've watched it waaaaay too many times.

[stevetothepast]

I DVR'ed Curb your enthusiasm last night, can't wait to watch it. Any other curb fans?

[captain516]

That reminds me, did that Seinfeld reunion happen yet?

[stevetothepast]

I wasn't aware there was one.

Anybody ever see a little known canadian show called Adderly?

An ex special agent who got injured on the job, was demoted to "Miscellaneous Affairs", but all his old enemies, think he is up to something in this little known dept. Man oh man is it sweet.

shame there is only two seasons. :(

[Kitsa]

That last season of TPB I watched was awful :( And it kills me to say that because I love them.

I was Bubbles a few years ago for Halloween. I still have the glasses somewhere.

[Tadao]

I finally finished all of Heroes. YAY!

[stevetothepast]

new TPB movie coming out soon. forget what its called(countdown to liquor day?)

I like a lot of the episodes but some of them are just not funny.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Picked up "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 4. I was a bit wary about the first episode and thought it was a bit lacking. Then I saw the "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" and it reassured me of the greatness.

New season starts tonight!

[FistfulOAwesome]

I just saw the line-up of shows on Thursday, and it's looking good.

Sunny is still great. I did feel like that the lawyer character was superfluous and Sweet Dee’s story should have gotten more time (by getting rid of the lawyer), but it’s still great. I was actually smiling at the ending. They are horrible people, but they’re also a family (as gay as that makes me sound).

Community is immediately great. Can’t really say much other than that (without getting a rant worthy post). Although, that chick really does look like Elizabeth Shue (which is alright, since I’d nail Shue so hard that she’d feel crippled).

Parks & Recreation didn’t do bad. I actually stopped watching the first season halfway through, but I always give any show that’s not terrible a second chance. Definitely a decent opener. Could have used more CK though.

The Office pulled through, as always.

Archer is alright. It’s a first episode so you can’t judge it too much, but I was entertained so I’ll check it out when it starts it’s run in January. Definitely had the same type of humor as Frisky Dingo (though not as refined (but of course, first episode).

Overall, Thursdays are going to be the one night to definitely stick in front of the TV.

[Sam]

I saw this show called Bored to Death and it was pretty funny. :(

[Esuohlim]

I SAW THIS SHOW CALLED "PRETTY FUNNY" AND I WAS BORED TO DEATH :x

[Babs]

So the new US Office season 6 has being airing about since last week and I've been waiting for awhile for it to come back on. Also, It's Alaways Sunny started back up on the same date but haven't been able to catch it yet :(

On a really good note, the ENG Office is airing soon on adult swim soon so... something more to look forward too.

[MarioRPG]

Loved the season premiere of Dexter! :)

[Kitsa]

I'm afraid we're going to be experiencing Office Oversaturation pretty quickly. New season, several channels doing syndication, and then the original airing on adult swim like it's brand-new or something.

:(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Nick Swardson had a new stand up performance on comedy central last night which was really funny. Definitely worth a watch.

[Kitsa]

I've been watching good old One Foot in the Grave when it comes on. My main problem with that show is that the funny parts are really funny, but then they always have to go and make it depressing. It's worse than M*A*S*H that way.

I mean, how many shows end when the main character gets hit by a car and dies?

[stevetothepast]

I saw this show called Bored to Death and it was pretty funny. :(

ya I like this show.

Ted Danson is looking like the damn grim reaper these days though.

[Esuohlim]

I bought all four seasons of Home Movies recently. I haven't watched it in years and it's funnier than I remember.

Season 2 of The Wire is finished. I liked Season 1 better, but everyone does on the first viewing of the series anyway. There's a lot going on and my main focus is trying to pay attention to everything since I'm never entirely sure what I should be paying extra attention to in the first place.

[Skayde]

I just finished Season 1 of The Sopranos. I know i'm a dollar short on that one, but I am still pretty fascinated by the story and can't wait to start on Season 2.

Just got Dexter. Heard mixed things for this show though, anyone got anything to say about it?

[Ant10708]

Not sure if this is a television show or a direct to dvd anime show but I began watching Afro Samurai and its crazy violent and a good watch.

[darkvare]

is a mini series they made a movie but it wasn't as good as the show

[Skayde]

The game was pretty lame too.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just started watching The League on FX. Sitcom about guys who play fantasy football and how it affects their lives. It's pretty funny.

I was watching season six of the simpsons and forgot how many great amazing lines came out of Lemon of Troy. It's between that episode and Monorail for tops. "There's a doins a transpiring."

[Tadao]

I'm almost caught up on Dexter.

[Dimnos]

OH yeah? Where are you at T?

[Tadao]

season 4 ep 5

AKA 405

[Dimnos]

oh so you are only 2 behind. You can torrent them if you dont have anywhere else to watch them. That is what I have done for all of season 4.

[Tadao]

Yeah, I've torrented the whole thing :lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Going home to watch the Ultimate Fighter finale. I guess Kimbo is going to fight someone random. Darknesssssss is going to whoop on someone. There was supposed to be a matchup between Rampage Jackson and Rashaad but I've heard its cancelled.

[Esuohlim]

Season 4 of the Wire is amazing.

All other TV shows are complete shit in comparison.

Also I bought the complete Farscape on Amazon the other day since it's on sale for $58 marked down from $150. ;_;

[Lord Lonic]

The best TV show ever created is One Piece. I don't think I can name any other show that comes as close to being awesome and badass as One Piece.

[Esuohlim]

I had no idea what that was so I looked it up.

I should ban you for tricking me into looking at anime

[Lord Lonic]

Whats wrong baby cant take teh kawaii desu??

[executioneer]

anime is for nerds, we hate nerds here

[Lord Lonic]

Actually I really don't like anime. As a matter of fact I hate Japan and almost everything from it. They're all a bunch of bucktoothed faggots with Asperger's who masturbate to child pornography and their women, who because of their tiny tits, consume feces all day long as they can't show off their manish "breasts" without getting "eeeeeewwwwws" anyway. Sick, sick, sick country.

I only like One Piece because it's pirates. I like anything pirates no matter how faggy it is. Hell I thought Pirates of the Carribean 3 was the second best movie of this decade.

[Esuohlim]

Shut it

[Lord Lonic]

kay

[Tadao]

That's super guy.

[Dimnos]

Season finally of Dexter. OMFG!!! :eek

[Tadao]

shit, i need to catch up again :lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I still haven't seen dexter but I've heard from a lot of people that the finale was awesome.

[BatmanJohnson]

The Dexter finale was amazing!

[Ant10708]

indeed it was

[Womti]

hey guys I just got the ghost in the shell stand alone complex complete collection it is a 7-disc set ;)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have a hard on for Ghost in the shell.




Dmnos, I was at a bar tonight and they were laying Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and they showed your lion with a crown....so I shouted DIMNOS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

Fuck those who didn't get it.

[Babs]

So we're playing favorites now?

[Esuohlim]

hey guys I just got the ghost in the shell stand alone complex complete collection it is a 7-disc set ;)

Do you have a house to watch it in

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My roommate got me the christmas episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's really funny but normally wouldn't warrant it being sold by itself. Around an hour long and the laughs are all there. "Well, I hide in the couch all the time. I usually catch Charlie pounding off."

It's around $25 which kind of sucks. Perfect to give or get as a gift though.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

3 Stooges marathon on AMC.

[captain516]

I've been watching reruns of My Name Is Earl for a while now, and I like it. The characters are pretty funny.

[Pentegarn]

I have been too captain. They are amusing. I laugh at Earl's Brother a lot

[Kitsa]

I think Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee are great. Loved the show in general, except for the "coma" episodes, which really dragged along for me.

[MarioRPG]

Yeah, I'm actually surprised by that show. It can be genuinely funny, for the episodes I've caught anyway.

[robo_rob]

I've been watching Lost Tapes lately on Animal Planet. It's pretty fun in a SyFy original movie kind of way.

[Tadao]

WTH is Lost Tapes?

[robo_rob]

It's basically a show about monsters/cryptozoology. The episode will be parts 'found video of encounter' similar to Blair Witch or Cloverfield and parts scientific research about the monster/creature.

[Tadao]

All fake though? That's kinda wierd for Animal Planet. I guess they need viewers :lol

[robo_rob]

Yeah completely fake, to the point where you have to wonder who is holding the camera at times.

It's really weird for Animal Planet, they've even done alien and vampire episodes. If this is the direction their going in, I can't wait for the Animal Cops episode where they have to free a werewolf from Dracula.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I can't stop watching Jersey Shore. I want to drop an ammo crate on all of them.

[bigtimecow]

parks and recreation. this show blows the office out of the water, at least the office recently. nick offerman as ron fucking swanson is hilarious, and aziz ansari's character tom is great as well

"this is some professional-ass art right here"

"on a scale from 1 to chris brown, how pissed is he"

ron: "your secret's safe with me"
tom: "thanks ronaleeza rice"

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I really don't like Aziz Ansari because his stand up wasn't funny but he's popping up everywhere now so I might as well get used to him. :(

[Esuohlim]

Aziz Ansari is fly yo, I dig him

[Phoenix Gamma]

I'm bummed that Conan isn't on the air anymore. Now Letterman is the only decent talk show. Fucking Leno >:

[robo_rob]

I don't really watch the late night talk shows anymore, but yeah, that's a bum deal they gave Conan. Because Jay Leno's show tanks, his has to suffer? WTF

[Tadao]

Come on guys, networks need to make money. It's how businesses work. Maybe Conan can move to the internet or something.

[bigtimecow]

wait, it's official, he's gone? what the fuck

[Tadao]

Not officially, but he said if they move his time slot to 12:00 he is not gonna be apart of it.

http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/late-night-hosts-rally-around-conan-skewer-leno--914

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Aziz Ansari is fly yo, I dig him

He opened for Stella and went on this long winded joke about "Hey, does it seem like sometimes movie characters know they IN the movie??? Like, in Ghostbusters II why do they have the Ghost with TWO fingers up on the car??? Do they know they are in the sequel???"

I kinda yelled "Because its the ECTO II. You know, the second vehicle they made....a better vehicle."

He got pissed so we're not on speaking terms.

[Pentegarn]

I am currently enjoying Man vs. Food. I get hungry every time I watch that damn show

[robo_rob]

I am currently enjoying Man vs. Food. I get hungry every time I watch that damn show

Yeah, it makes eating a 30lb hamburger sound like a good idea.

[Mad Melvin]

I bought the Sopranos complete boxset recently and watched all six seasons. Could be the best TV-show I have seen.

[bigtimecow]

also just discovered community and this show is, as well, hilarious

also archer premieres tonight. i don't know anything about the show other than the fact that jon benjamin does the main characters voice, but that's enough to make me interested

[executioneer]

the guy who turned sealab to shit is responsible for it

fucking pass

[King Hadas]

I saw Martin Short in an episode of Law & Order: SVU and he was damn good. I always get a thrill of satisfaction whenever I see an actor succeeding outside of their usual genres.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

also archer premieres tonight. i don't know anything about the show other than the fact that jon benjamin does the main characters voice, but that's enough to make me interested

Its made by some of the Frisky Dingo staff and is serving as spiritual sucessor.

edit: re-checked facts.

[Phoenix Gamma]

So I guess technically Conan's still on the air til' the 22nd. Leno wants to take his show back. Now all this shit is coming out about Leno having an in for Conan for awhile now, and Jimmy Kimmel (who's kind of a jerk too) totally tore Leno a new asshole on Leno's own show.

http://tv.gawker.com/5448615/late-night-wars-jay-leno-goes-after-conan-obrien-jimmy-kimmel-decimates-leno-to-his-face-obrien-still-going-rogue
(second video for the Kimmel/Leno bit)

Now Howard Stern is saying he might go on the Tonight Show and stir shit up. Regardless about how anyone feels about Stern, he's sure to liven things up.

Which is great, because this week, Conan is doing whatever the fuck he wants because he's probably going to get fired/quit next Friday anyways. It's hilarious.

[Dimnos]

http://mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/im-with-coco.jpg

[Pentegarn]

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

In the last week I've gotten into watching True Blood, Entourage and Bad Girls Club.

Bad Girls Club I'm especially hooked into because its just a bunch of drunk girls that go drinking. No voting off each week, special challenges or non-sense. They just go get hammered and act like total bitches.

Also watched an episode of Days of our lives. GF tried to explain to me who people were and why they were doing the things and it seemed really convulated but I understood it. She said "It's a lot to take in."

Then I explained to her how how Nate Grey is the grand-son from an alternate reality of the guy from the Starjammers.

[Esuohlim]

I watched the first four episodes of Entourage and I hated it. The humor is not only unfunny it's also obnoxious, and Turtle is such a bro it makes me sick.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Turtle is Pro Bro. Yeah, it's okay. Jeremy Piven is funny and REZ playing Mark Wahlburg is kinda funny.

[Sam]

Jeremy Piven is the only good thing about Entourage. :(

[Pentegarn]

More late night funny

[executioneer]

i think the other guy is supposed to be jimmy kimmell? or fallon idk

[Phoenix Gamma]

Conan did a $1.5 Million dollar skit tonight at NBC's expense. It probably wasn't even a minute long.

Awesome.

[Pentegarn]

I need to go hulu that right now

EDIT: Not up yet, booooo

[bigtimecow]

tonight is new community, followed by new parks and rec, followed by new office, followed by new 30 rock

and the season finale of jersey shore :(

[Grislygus]

You watch Jersey Shore





I saw a snippet of that in a hotel room, it made me want to suicide bomb Viacom

[Esuohlim]

So I take it Community got better? I heard it was pretty bad at the beginning.

[bigtimecow]

i don't know why i watch jersey shore because it is absolutely ridiculous, but i can't not watch it :(

i haven't seen community from the start, only like episode 9 and on i think. it's damn funny now though

[Phoenix Gamma]

EDIT: Not up yet, booooo
You'll have to look elsewhere. Of course NBC wouldn't upload the video. It'd cost too much due to licensing. Supposedly it was already uploaded and NBC yanked it. :lol

[Tadao]

I think Hulu shows an episode only after a new one is aired.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Oh. I don't use Hulu, so I dunno how they work.

However, Conan just cost NBC another $4.8 Million in under a minute. Awesome.

[Pentegarn]

Luckily I saw the 1.5 mil gag when he showed it again last night. I wonder if that was really Mind That Bird though?

[Tadao]

I call shenanigans!

[Pentegarn]

I think, per Conan's suggestion, I need to start more posts with, "Dear internet"

EDIT: Wow, Neil Young crushed it. What a touching tribute to Conan. Neil Young sang "Long May You Run"

[bigtimecow]

the little ending monologue had conan almost tear up. you could hear his voice like hiccup trying to hold it back. so sad :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched criminal minds last night and I think the one guy(Matthew Gray Gubler) looks a lot like Rog.

[Zomboid]

GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE, BILL! THIS IS CONAN TIME!

Wow. My buddy and I left the bar early and watched Conan's final show. That was so bittersweet. Some of the best TV I've ever seen.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've missed his entire run except for the inaugural episode hosting the tonight show. What was the $1.5 joke about?

[bigtimecow]

the last few shows he's been doing these gags where the show "costs NBC some couple million dollars and nbc has to pay for it." at first i thought it was real, until on the last episode when they took an entire mammoth body fossil and had it spray caviar on an original picasso

and then of course conan admitted they were fake. still lol though

[Pentegarn]

That was when he said, "Dear Internet" and I laughed for awhile

[Phoenix Gamma]

Dear Internet,

Why did Conan have to just bullied by NBC, while that cunt Jimmy Fallon gets to stand around and tell horrible jokes on his horrible show that only five whole people watch?

[bigtimecow]

david letterman made some funny jokes about carson daly who apparently is still on the air

what??

[Phoenix Gamma]

I remember when he Rick Roll'd the audience.

Not only was it not funny, and not only was the audience's laughter forced, but he did it wrong. I guess hosting a terrible talk show wasn't bad enough >:

At least Letterman is still kinda funny...

[Babs]

David Letterman is a joke.

[whoreable]

this is fucking bullshit. why the hell is there no Conan thread on these boards?


Conan is the classiest guy ever to be on tv. Although ive enjoyed pretty much the whole run of Conan's tonight show, last week was especially great.

[executioneer]

it made me feel bad that i didnt have tv so i could watch conan every night :( and that i didnt watch the episodes on hulu when they went up every time :(

[Fathom Zero]

Conan O' Byron is okay, I guess.

[MarioRPG]

I'm not a fan of Conan, I think he repeats himself a lot. Having said that, I suppose they all do. However, I don't really think they should have got rid of him. Also why the news made it such a huge issue, was sorta strange.

Anyway, I'm hoping to catch Spartacus: Blood And Sand. Going to try and download the first one because I missed it.

[Pentegarn]

Not sure they all repeat themselves a lot, but I always use Lettermen to judge that. Compared to him, none of them repeat themselves much. :P

[King Hadas]

Conan does, or did I guess, repeat himself but that's to expected. He had to do an hour show five day a week, most of which was improvised. Conan was a treasure and NBC made a fool mistake losing him.

I'm wondering what Conan's going to do now. On one of his last episodes he listed off some offers his gotten and one of them was to play an IRA member on Sons of Anarchy which is something I'd really like to see. I'm not sure if he could do a serious Irish accent though.

[Womti]

no :tear

[Womti]

Do you have a house to watch it in

no :tear

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

LOST season 6 starts tonight. I got hooked really bad on season 5 but haven't gone back and watched seasons 1-4.

[Dimnos]

LOST season 6 starts tonight. I got hooked really bad on season 5 but haven't gone back and watched seasons 1-4.

They would probably only ruin it for you. :( I was totally hooked back in season one and at least part of two. Maybe all of two. I cant really remember but somewhere around the end of two or the beginning of three I just couldnt stand it anymore. :tear I just hope ole JJ doesnt fuck the convoluted hell out of Fringe too.

[Tadao]

I thought Lost aired their end of all seasons show already.

[Dimnos]

Thats what the islands wants you to think. :eek

[Fathom Zero]

There's more than one, now?

[Tadao]

that's what I was just wondering :lol

[bigtimecow]

there's two. the larger island and a smaller one that doesn't really serve any purpose except the formal base for "the others"

[Fathom Zero]

You're not spoiling anything for me. Believe me.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I set my DVR for 7pm - 8pm for LOST and now I find out its only a clip show at that time followed by a 2 hr premier. Now I have to go home and REDVR.

edit: >:

[Tadao]

This might help catch you up "a little".

http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/our-favorite-lost-surprises--958

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol That does help a bit. I've read a lot of wikipedia before starting season 5 up. I love how Ben saved locke from sui-sauce and then was all like "GO TO SLEEEEEP" anyway.

SOME GUY FROM LOSTPEDIA "In physics and chemistry, the Faraday constant (named after Michael Faraday) is the magnitude of electric charge per mole of electrons. There is strong relevance between the show and the four fundamental forces of physics. To understand more, watch the movies Hancock and Matrix."

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jacob's_nemesis/Theories

I bet this guys formula was like "Well of course Neo divided by the square root of super hero Will smith ='s what I'm talking about."

[Esuohlim]

Lost's season opener was pretty underwhelming. Things are happening that I'm expecting and that ain't no fun >:

Also politics are for gay people but I started the West Wing a few weeks ago and I love it. :gay

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I dvr'd it but only watched the first 20 mins so far.

[Ant10708]

I dvr'd it but only watched the first 20 mins so far.
Get ready to be unimpressed. The first hour was terrible. Horrible pacing and way to much weird shit that you the viewer is suppose to just accept because its lost and weird things can happen. Hour 2 was ok but overall it was a very bad season premiere.

I don't like how it seems that the writers didn't want to choose between the two possible outcomes they set up at the end of last season so instead decided to do both.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I don't like how it seems that the writers didn't want to choose between the two possible outcomes they set up at the end of last season so instead decided to do both.

That's kind of how I felt from watching the first 20 minutes.

[Esuohlim]

What's probably going to happen this season is going to be similar to the structure of season 4. The alternate reality storyline is concurrent with the on-island storyline, and it will lead up to the end of the series where they will show how the on-island storyline events trigger the alternate reality.

It's kind of like an "it's all a dream" cop-out, only they're doing it right away so the ending doesn't seem as anti-climactic.

SEE ALSO: MEMENTO

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

SEE ALSO: DALLAS

I probably should watch the first 4 seasons huh?

[Esuohlim]

I bet they're going to show how shitty all their lives are anyway and that they were better off in the plane crash.

[Tadao]

Guys, it's just a really long episode of Family Guy.

[King Hadas]

I thought it was a good episode by Lost standards. I watch for a while, wondering if I'm wasting my time, then something happens that peaks my interest and then something else happens to dull it. A good episode will end with me still in a state of interest.

Not the bit where Charlie's voice comes out of Sihid's mouth, that made me laugh. It's the part with Jack and John at the end. I never made the connection between the two. Jack, a spinal surgeon and John, a man with a spinal injury.

[Womti]

hay guys guess what I was watching last night???

Beverly Hills, 90210 :(

[Pentegarn]

The old one or the new one?

[Womti]

the old one. let me tell you: longest. fucking. show. ever. those episodes are like an hour long, each.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Oh man, wait till you get to the Beverly Hills 90210 season finale with the wedding. :tear

Watched the first eps of Lost season 6 last night and it was okay. I kinda figured thats who Smokey Bones was for a while but its still kind of interesting. Miles need to have more screen time because he is awesome and I like people named Miles.

[Womti]

I thought it was DECENT. HALFWAY decent. but I dont watch Beverly Hills, 90210, so :\

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol I feel like the term decent means 50% good. Not horrible not splendid. So halfway decent to me means about 25% good. It's worse than bad its poor.

Does anyone remember the season finale from 90210 where there is a wedding + a car crash?

[WhiteRat]

So i just borrowed some Twin Peaks DVDs from a friend. Dare I watch?

[Pentegarn]

Absolutely, that show was so fucked up that you have to watch it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I need to watch TP too. I really like the movie/prequel. Was it Fire walk with me?

[Dimnos]

There is some channel that will will play all of TP back to back every now and then. I want to say its Chiller but I dont think thats it. But yes you need to watch that shit.

[Fathom Zero]

It's Chiller. That and Tales from the Darkside, man.

[captain516]

I only saw a little of Twin Peaks, but holy fuck it's good.

[King Hadas]

It seems like Married With Children is airing everywhere lately, I saw an episode of it last night on Comedy Central. I wonder if this has anything to do with the bad economy because I noticed it has usurped The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's time slot on Nick@Nite.

[Esuohlim]

I tried to like Married With Children but I honestly don't see what the fuss is about

[Tadao]

It was funny when it came out, 9-11 changed everything :tear

[Dimnos]

Al Bundy is a hero among men. :(

"You see kids, it was a dream and you were replaced by two sixpacks in the refridgerator."

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Married with Children is so amazing. I just watched Viva La Death Cart two part episode the other day.

[Kitsa]

watching the latest season of big love and they're reaching further and further. I no longer have any idea what the fuck is going on half the time.

[Dimnos]

What are you talking about? This season is kicking ass so far.

[Kitsa]

how the hell has the man not had a heart attack or nervous breakdown by this point? He's the grandson of an ousted prophet AND his father is constantly trying to kill his mother AND he's married to three women who are involved in all sorts of intrigues, AND he owns a home improvement center AND he runs a casino AND now he wants to be a senator? I mean, wtf?

[Dimnos]

Yeah he does seam to have his hands full. :\ At least his dad isnt trying to kill his mother anymore though. They seam to be getting along well this season with their crazy bird trafficking schemes.

[Esuohlim]

I'm rewatching The Wire again. Seasons 1 and 2 are way better the second time, but I didn't get anything new out of season 3.

[Ant10708]

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[Esuohlim]

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I love this show so much. I want to hang out with Danny Devito in real life :(

[Sam]

I hope Danny Devito is actually like that. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

He is. He was born in neptune.

[Sam]

YOU GOTTA PAY THE TROLLS TOLL, IF YOU WANNA GET IN THIS BOY'S HOLE

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched part of the 10th kingdom and I noticed Ed O'Neil was the troll guy. He also did not pay the troll toll.

[Esuohlim]

I just met him last week at a liquor store. :( He was selling and autographing bottles of his liquor. He's a nice guy, atleast when he wants you to buy a bottle of his booze.

[bigtimecow]

i just started always sunny today. got season 1+2 and so far its lol

[Tadao]

I'ts never ending lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The first episode of Always sunny I saw was when they find out Dennis' grandfather was a nazi. I laughed so hard when Mac is like "Did we get rid of everthing Charlie" and Charlie is like "yep" and he's just sitting in the third reich uniform eating a banana.

[Esuohlim]

http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/crazichica2289/GIFs/Its%20Always%20Sunny%20In%20Philadelphia/NaziBanana.gif

The first episode of Always Sunny I saw was the Gang Exploits a Miracle when it first aired, and I didn't like it. I got back into the show again before the 5th season aired and watched all the episodes. I still think the Gang Exploits a Miracle is the weakest episode of all of them.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah, that episode isn't that great.

I usually try and introduce new people to the show with either "The gang gets invincible" or "The gang solves the north korea situation"

[Ant10708]

I also thought the miracle episode was a tad weak but they can't all be amazing.

[executioneer]

i have watched a couple of episodes of this show

i did not like any of them, i hate all the characters

[Esuohlim]

I also thought the miracle episode was a tad weak but they can't all be amazing.

The rest of them are >:

i have watched a couple of episodes of this show

You probably hate Seinfeld too, right :(

IT'S JUST NOT YOUR BAG

[executioneer]

yes i also hate seindfield

[executioneer]

it's possible i just hate shows based in cities that are full of jerkasses though

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I don't like Seinfeld.

[Tadao]

king of the hill, mission hills, etc

[bigtimecow]

seinfeld is awesome :(

jerry seinfeld can get on my nerves, but george castanza's character is just brilliant

[Ant10708]

I was at my friend's house this past friday and his gf kept comparing Seinfeld to Friends and I kept dying a small bit inside :(.

No one there appreciated Seinfeld :(

[Dimnos]

yc4IPH7XQBA

[Pentegarn]

My favorite Seinfeld episode is where Kramer went nuts and got all racist on everyone.

[Esuohlim]

I love Seinfeld. :( George is probably my favorite character ever along with Coach McGuirk and maybe Buster Bluth

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My main complaint about seinfeld isn't even about the show itself. It's always seeing clips of funny parts of it on FOX commercials. I used to watch it and kind of think its funny....but I can only take so many 10 second clips and one liners from a show when its not even currently playing.

"YADDA YADDA YADDA. YADDA YADDA YADDA. YADDA YADDA YADDA. YADDA YADDA YADDA........


SEINFELD AT 7:00 PM EST
FOLLOWED BY THE SIMPSONS AT 7:30 PM EST."

put me past my breaking point.

[Tadao]

I'm rewatching all of It's always sunny season 1,2 and 3 today. I'm in tears laughing at all of it. My mom wandered in during "Underage Drinking : A National Concern" and I had to try to explain the logic they use to justify things. On cue they started breaking down why they are helping the youth by selling them drinks in the bar and my mom almost fell over laughing.

Heh

[Esuohlim]

Yeah, I rarely actually laugh out loud during shows that are supposed to be funny, but Sunny can actually put me in tears too. I don't remember the episode, but the entire scene where Frank takes Dennis to an orgy and it's just a bunch of fat people wearing masks eating buffet food was the funniest damn thing I think I've ever seen.

[Tadao]

Oh man I need the dvds past season 3 but I'm fucking broke next month already.

[kahljorn]

you should just do what other people do and burn your own dvds or something until you can buy it if you still want to

[Tadao]

Yeah, I could download the avi's

[kahljorn]

or you could hook your computer up to your television :O
