Television Shows (NEW ARCHER IN TWO :EEKS)

[stevetothepast]

HAHAHA

WHAT A FAGGOT!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

MY GIRLFRIEND WATCHED IT AND I ACCOMPANIED HER.

[Dimnos]

I hope you got some tang out of it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Does playing Black Ops after count?....:(

[Dimnos]

Hmmm...

[Sam]

NO.

FAG.

[Tadao]

i don't even wanna yell at him, that's how sick it makes me feel inside

[Dimnos]

Yeah. Unless she was giving you a hummer while you killin fools. :\

[Zomboid]

I was getting blown while watching Home Improvement. That was kinda weird.

[executioneer]

ERRRRNH?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I got one while watching Casino Royale though. That's whats up.

[King Hadas]

Finished season 5 of Dexter. I thought this season started off alright, at least it side-stepped most of what I hated about the last two seasons, but the show still suffers from a fundamental flaw, it's writers are fucking pussies and they're horrible teases too. Nothing of consequence ever happens no matter what the episode preview says and the show, no matter what toothless plot twist they have to use, always returns to the status quo.

Debra almost catches Dexter red-handed but instead of giving us something significant to chew on for once she delivers a pretty little speech. I'm sick of this show dicking me around like this. Lumen didn't have to leave but status quo demanded it. It's like a bad comic book resetting itself over and over.

I predict next season Debra finds out about Dexter's work, is upset but then get over it and everything turns out okay. Fuck season 6 I'm done watching this garbage.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Yeah, I thought at least half of this season he should be looking for trinity.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, Dexter isn't even worth watching anymore, but people who never seemed to watch it before love it. It's weird. I read a comment that basically said Dexter is a great show if you've been watching Law and Order and this is your first drama series that's not on one of the big networks.

Of course, it's pretty much total shit if you've been watching the Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, the Wire, Breaking Bad, or anything else, really. I mean, holy shit that was a weak finale.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've grown recently fond of watching Jeopardy again. There was a recent topic of "Defenestration in Cinema" and hearing Trabek do nAxel Foley impression "You guys are arresting me for getting thrown out of a window???"

Amazing.

[Dimnos]

Yeah the Dexter finale was crap. They didnt even take out Chase in an elaborate way. :\ Deb should have caught Dexter. In fact half way through her speech he should have just started talking. She get floored by the revelation and the season ends there. With us not knowing if she still calls the cops or not. Lumen should have died to stuck around. This pussy shit of "oh my troubles are resolved and Im going to move on to a happy life now." was crap. :\ Ill probably still watch next season because Im a sucker for the idea that it might get good again. Although this season was good right up to the last two episodes I thought.

[Mad Melvin]

I thought the whole season was kinda crappy. Few good episodes here and there, but the main plot was just an uninteresting mess and that Lumen chick was just blah. The finale also sucked shit from a cup. With two girls, no less. There was no reason for Deb to NOT look at the killers and that whole bloodtest shenanigan was just plain tacky. So, what, Quinn and Dex are friends now? Fuck that. And what the hell was with the first episode, where Dexter just bashes the shit out of some redneck and it's never mentioned again? Third and fifth season are the worst this show has had to offer. THE WORST.:x

I'm guessing that Quinn will be the enemy in the next season. He'll turn into a killer or some shit so Dexter has an excuse to waste him.

[Zomboid]

Oh, man season 3 was fucking awful. I'd rather this as aaaalmost as bad.

[King Hadas]

And what the hell was with the first episode, where Dexter just bashes the shit out of some redneck and it's never mentioned again?
It's funny, the more conscientious Dexter becomes the more innocent people he murders. That shit was cool though.

[elx]

it started sucking/going downhill when he got married between season three and four imo :(also i heard that dex and deb are getting divorced irl, i hope this means they kill off her character. she's the most annoying by far.

edit: o and i just realized that i still have no idea what was going on with that emily birch character. they must've just given up on her halfway through :(

[Kitsa]

For some reason I just thought I clicked on the Dreams thread and I was all WHY ARE NONE OF YOU TALKING ABOUT DREAMS?!?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I didn't know they were married in real life. That's super creepy. "Oh hey sis" "Oh hey bro". Then an hour goes by and they're no longer playing siblings but married and such.

[Esuohlim]

I can never see a Home Improvement reference anymore and not immediately think of this

XNNAZc5BU3Q

[Sam]

AN HOUR OF FUCKING

[Tadao]

Been watching BBC's Sherlock. It's Sherlock Holmes in modern day London. No complaints so far, surprisingly.

[Kitsa]

Speaking of BBC, I've been DVR'ing all of BBC America's Christmas programming and watching that.

I used to really like Dawn French and I loved the early seasons of Vicar of Dibley, but I dunno, something with where it picked up with that "Marriage" special sort of became annoying. The character became annoying, I mean.

Tonight I watch Gordon Ramsay cook stuff. I know I've got some Graham Norton in there too. Loved him ever since Father Ted.

[Guitar Woman]

Doctor Who Christmas fucking owned. I would have liked it enough on its own, but I took the liberty of watching all the previous (horrible) Christmas episodes the other night, and they completely lowered my standards for television, fiction, and everything in general, allowing for suitable entertainment from Steven Moffat, a man who, unlike Russel T. Davies, has not attempted to perform a lobotomy on himself. Several lobotomies, actually, many of which were completely successful.

Also the entire special almost looks like complete shit next to the season 6 trailer right after it. Nazis! MIBs! Horrifying doll children! The Ood are back! Neil Gaiman writes an episode! IN AMERICA!

I wept blood, basically.

[Guitar Woman]

I've been watching Sherlock, too. Shit's great.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I started watching season 1 of Dexter and its good. Its weird seeing him umcomposed in some situations though because I've only seen season 4 and 5.

[Dimnos]

Season 1 is the best season. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I was reading into the books a little bit and they sound like they are better. I guess his sister actually finds out about him in the 2nd or 3rd book.

[Esuohlim]

Season 2 was better than 1, I think, since he spent the entire season almost getting caught.

Season 1 was good too, but the whole THE VILLAIN IS LEAVING ME PLAYFUL LITTLE CLUES angle was stupid. Season 3 is awful all around. I haven't gotten to Season 4 yet, but I am told there is an awful lot of Lithgow ass to be seen :(

[Dimnos]

2 was good but I still like 1 better. While I think 3 was the worst season I dont think its as bad as most people make it out to be. 4 was a great season. As good as 2 if not better. Yes a bit of Lithgow ass but not to bad.

[Kitsa]

Still cranking along on oz. I'm kind of patchy on seasons 4 and 5. I saw the musical episode today and that was even more fucked than that musical Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode.

[Dimnos]

I have nothing to watch on TV. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I started watching Psych again. During the halloween episode the guys had to solve a case and they came across their one old friend. They needed the third friend to let them and the friend was like nope. Sean was like "Come on, we need to get the gang back together. Like 3 ninjas High noon at mega moon." Gus was like "Sean, that's the terrible one."

[kahljorn]

:lol

I started watching psych like amonth or two ago and its pretty hilarious :(

i think that wedidn't watch that hollyween one cause they are part of a series

[Esuohlim]

I like Psych :( Usually on principle I don't watch any show from the USA network but Psych is pretty good

[kahljorn]

there's been quite a few episodes that had me dying laughing :(

there's even been a few where they say like one word and it kills me. And its not funny just cause its RANDOMSOCRAZY but genuinely clever/funny.

[Kitsa]

Just wrapped up season 5 of Oz....time for the home stretch.

I realized today, as I was watching one of the episodes over again to listen to the director and actor commentary, that Oz has made me completely immune to any reaction to seeing men's junk. There is so much swinging-dick in that show that it just starts to become part of the background.

Back in the first season I was like "Gah!" when there would be unexpected dick or manass or prison rape or whatever. Now I'm like "meh".

[Zhukov]

Yeah I was exactly the same. I would hold my hand up to the screen to block out the herman, then a few years later and my mum walks in on me watching a rape scene and I don't even notice anything wrong.

[Mad Melvin]

I got both seasons of Rome for christmas and just started watching it. I'm near the end of season 1. Pretty good stuff. Titus Pollo is the fucking man. I have to say though, this doesn't seem to be worth all the hype i've heard, but maybe my opinion will change after the second season.

[Kitsa]

Started last ep of Oz but haven't finished it. If it had gone on for five more seasons I'd probably have watched every one of those too :(

It's sort of like Big Love...after a while, things become less plausible and more stupid, but you feel like you have some sort of commitment and time vested in it, so you want to see it through.

[Fathom Zero]

I've been watching Profit on Youtube, coz it's been cancelled for years. I should get the DVD set.

[Ex Leper]

Since late December I've been going though every season of SNL on Netflix, currently on season 12.

Holy shit. I'm now halfway to season 2. The show took a very dark turn at some point and is now totally awesome. Can't wait to see how things will turn out at the end. Loving it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished season 1 of Dexter. Way better than the last two seasons for sure.

I really liked the piece where they are at the fathers house when Dexter and Rudy are each packing stuff up and it kind of shows how they both tie, cut and bind stuff up.

[Shyandquietguy]

I am hooked on Adventure Time.

[Tadao]

Onion News - Awesome, much better than sitting in front of a computer.

Portlandia - Great skit comedy on how gay the people of Portland, Oregon are.

Being Human - Seems promising, I'm sure they will ruin it for me halfway through the season.

The onion news show is hilarious as shit. The sports one is kinda funny too.

[Tadao]

I don't like sports. Not even if they are making fun of it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

it wasn't on the show yet but they had a hockey clip a while back that was pretty good.

I haven't watched any of the new season of Always Sunny yet but I'm told it sucked. Please tell me this isn't true >:

[Tadao]

It isn't true. Sweet Dee gets preggers by one of the gang. :eek

[Kitsa]

Been watching Green Hornet (the real one) on SyFy.

[Tadao]

It's horrible.

I thought it was kinda horrible actually. Except for the hockey episode and the halloween episode.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Turned on my TV and saw a new Wayne's World skit on SNL.

Wait what.

Then Dana Carvey turned out to be the host and sang a song about why is cast was the best. Then Jon Lovitz appeared suddenly. Then there was a new Church Lady skit. Then Linkin Park was the musical guest.

No, this wasn't a rerun from the 90's. It was an actual, new episode. And it was weird.

Really highlighted how fucking awful the show is now, though.

[Tadao]

Onion News, the whole ongoing Suri Cruise thing amuses me.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished watching season 2 of Dexter. I loved it until the last episode. Quite a let down compared to the rest of the season.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watching power rangers Samurai, apparently they morph by calling someone on their cell phones now.

[Fathom Zero]

Watching Extras.

How do I act so well?

[Tadao]

Tried watching the BBC version of Being Human. Amazingly, I like the SciFi channels version better. BBC seemed to rush the whole story and there was very little humor at all. SciFi has much better music and film and they let you feel for the character. Kinda odd since I would have better that the BBC would have done it 100 times better.

BBC - I fell a sleep
SciFi - They leave me wanting more.

[Mad Melvin]

Watching Extras.

How do I act so well?

I just watched the whole show last weekend. Pure genius and that last monologue gets me every time.

[Dimnos]

Watching power rangers Samurai, apparently they morph by calling someone on their cell phones now.

Yeah. Their shit got outsourced. They have to call it in now. :\

[Pentegarn]

Power Rangers still around eh? They still have Bulk and Skull? Or a Bulk and Skull equivalent?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I don't think so, I think they ended up writing or directing a good amount of the seasons though.

Watched an episode of Adventure Time. Ridiculous.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Does anyone else think of Goosebumps during the final round of Wheel of Fortune?

[Kitsa]

I'm too old to think of Goosebumps during anything.

I had a weird thing happen. A series that I never watched before, on PBS, has an upcoming special. I just heard about it today, and decided I wanted to watch it. I went in on the DVR to try and find it on the schedule, and it was already set to record.
I know for sure I didn't do it. No one else in the house will admit to having done it, either.

It's freaking me out a little :(

[All Hail Duke]

started watching Pawn Stars

[Fathom Zero]

I'm sorry.

[Kitsa]

Yeah, I hate that show.

Not long ago, an insider told me that almost without exception, those shows are completely fake.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I get sucked into marathons of pawn stars and hardcore pawn.

[Dimnos]

How its made on the science channel is where its at.

[All Hail Duke]

oh, i know it's all fraudulent, i have a habit of watching garbage like it anyway

pawn stars
the osbournes
cake boss
ace of cakes
gene simmons family jewels

i've watched them all for unexplainable reasons

[Fathom Zero]

The Osbournes isn't so much as the others. That much is true.

[Kitsa]

The Gene Simmons one seemed patently fake to me right away, to the point that I was increasingly insulted that they were presenting it as "reality". Not to mention that the members of KISS (Paul Stanley excluded, but barely) are starting to look like some of my geriatric uncles, with slightly more black hair dye.

I stick with documentaries as much as I can, although I got hardcore into Oz and am still in Oz withdrawal. I would have watched that shit for 10 more seasons if they'd made it. Now I'm hanging on insurance commercials like a drunk shakes empties.

Trying to watch the last season of Big Love because I was fairly committed to it, but it's so loopy and all over the place that I can barely follow it.

[All Hail Duke]

generally i stick with cartoon and (real) crime shows along the lines of cold case files, most evil, etc.

gotten into watching art shows on the ovation network

[Dimnos]

Trying to watch the last season of Big Love because I was fairly committed to it, but it's so loopy and all over the place that I can barely follow it.

That show went down the crapper when they killed Roman.

[Kitsa]

I know, but I get committed to these shows and no matter how bad they get, I'm still in it for the long run. That's my personality, I guess.

If they'd made 10 more seasons of Oz, I'd watch them.

[captain516]

man, i fucking love archer
best cartoon i've seen in a while

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watching xenosaga the animation.

[Tadao]

Does the show Firefly get better as it goes on? So far the first 4 episodes are star trekish.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Yeah, it actually gets pretty cool. I think the first episode on the DVD is the pilot....then the actual first episode of the series is kinda the same plot as the pilot.

Serenity was pretty cool too.

[Tadao]

Science Chanel just got it last month, and so far they played the opening 2 hour episode and 3 or 4 other one hour episodes. They just did the one with the sword duel. I'm sure it'a all character development leading up to something special with the retarded genuis girl, but they are starting to loose my attention when they start doing the whole "WE BOTH LOVE EACH OTHER AND WILL NEVER ADMIT IT" thing. It's like 10 minutes worth in every episode so far. :(

I wouldn't mind it if the plot was intense, so far it's just been the usual morality tales. I'll stick it through though because it's supposed to be the best science fiction show ever.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

its worth watching at least all the way through. When they start bringing more ties with the blue sun corporation(or some name like that) it gets interesting.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Norm macdonald is going to be on letterman tonight.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Was watching avatar: the airbender. The fire nation were attacking the airbender with their fire powers until a fire nation general stopped them. The fire nation general was all like "Enough, stand down. Hold your fire."

:lol

[Ex Leper]

Just finished the entire 36 butchered seasons of SNL on Netflix.

[Guitar Woman]

Dat new Doctor Who episode

It was pretty good, but
is it a good idea to drop a drama bomb like "Holy shit the Doctor dies for realsies maybe" at the very beginning of the new season? I guess Moff's playing for keeps.

[Dimnos]

NEWS FLASH: Dr Who quit being cool in 1982.

http://theoreticalplayground.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/tombaker.jpg

Actually that one episode where they turned that jack ass into an ood was pretty cool.

[Guitar Woman]

All the new seasons have had at least 3 or 4 good episodes to balance out Russel T. Davies' retardation, and the series jumped waaay up in quality by the time Moffat fully took over.

Although I could still do with less fanboy pandering.

[Esuohlim]

Classic Doctor Who is boring as hell, and I gave it an honest effort too with the "best" Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes. New Doctor Who is just fine with me, even the Davies episodes. I'm only up through Season 2 at the moment, though.

[Guitar Woman]

Season 3 is when the dark times really get into a good rhythm. "The Runaway Bride" is the absolute worst episode of anything I've ever seen, and "Journey's End" almost gave me brain damage. It's bad.

I can only properly appreciate the classic episodes when I'm stoned as hell, and it's fair to say that yeah, they're slow and padded more often than they could be. The Caves of Androzani is probably the best episode ever, at least give that one a shot.

[King Hadas]

I finally watched the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica and man they really shouldn't have introduced religion into this show. This whole last season was pretty convoluted, I guess that's the price you pay for going crazy with too many big twists.

[Dimnos]

This is key. :lol

I finally watched the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica and man they really shouldn't have introduced religion into this show. This whole last season was pretty convoluted, I guess that's the price you pay for going crazy with too many big twists.

I thought the first two seasons were bad ass. The end of the third is where they really started to fuck it up. (The death and return of Starbuck :rolleyes ) Then season four was total shit. My friend who thought it came straight from gods ass whole keeps telling me I need to watch The Plan to make it make sense, but fuck that. I shouldnt have to watching a fucking movie for your TV series not to be crap. That and I cant get 10 minutes into without falling asleep.

Oh I also thought the fact that the Colonels wilfe being the last of the five was a total fucking cop out.

[Dimnos]

OH yeah. If you havent seen all of the new Battlestar, there are spoilers in the above post. Woops.

[Esuohlim]

I don't care HOW many times I have to read the same cookie-cutter BSG internet opinions, but it just bugs me how much shit Season 3 gets when it really wasn't even half as bad as everyone says it is. The finale was incredible, JERKS >:

And the whole [SPOLERS]cylons coming to terms with the fact that they're cylons[/SOPIELRS] angle of Season 4's first half was interesting as hell.

[King Hadas]

I loved the third season finale. I did not love the fourth season finale. Besides the president dying, which was sad, I thought it sucked. Starbuck turning out to have been a ghost the whole time was fucking stupid. I thought the religious elements in the series were created to make characters seem more real but I guess the writers where just covering their asses for later when they would literally pull a deus ex machina out of there.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I ended up getting season 1 of Archer on DVD for $10 :) The pilot episode though........ I was only able to make it through about 8 mins. It had some funny parts but man I just couldn't sit through it.

[Mad Melvin]

I ordered both seasons of Adventures of Pete & Pete (that have been released on DVD). How come such a great show gets such a crappy DVD release? It's just not right. :\ Still, I would buy season 3 in a heartbeat, even if the picture quality was as bad as in these two.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watched untold stories from the e.r. on TLC or history or one of those.

This guys conditions was that he was in a state of shock....except that about once a minute he would yell "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Then go back to being unresponsive to voice and touch until "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! !!!!" again.

It didn't sound so much like a rick flair whoooo.

It sounded exactly like Bender's Wooooooooooo from when he became a human then did the conga too much.

[Kitsa]

I used to live Untold Stories of the ER :(

Mr. Kitsa watched his first ep of Dexter last night. His take: "It's like an Oz class reunion."

[WhiteRat]

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is one of the funniest shows i've seen in a while. The last two episodes busted my gut open at the seams.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Law and order: l.a. kicks ass. It actually has me excited about watching it each week.

[Kitsa]

Just wrapped up season 1 of Dexter. I finally figured out that the girlfriend was the same one who annoyed the hell out of me with the fake southern accent in Boondock Saints 2.

[Dimnos]

She will probably continue to annoy the hell out of you on Dexter too. :\

[Kitsa]

She does :( All of the women in Dexter annoy me for some reason.

[Esuohlim]

Then you'll love Season 2 which contains the most annoying female character on television

[Kitsa]

If I were Dexter there'd be a fuckload of a lot more people killed.

[Tadao]

That goes against the code. What's the number 1 rule?

[Pram Maven]

Don't get catched.

[Dimnos]

Which one was season 2 again? The dumb english chick and that black dude in the cabin?

[Kitsa]

I'd revise the code as the situation dictated.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Which one was season 2 again? The dumb english chick and that black dude in the cabin?

Yeah.

Then you'll love Season 2 which contains the most annoying female character on television

Man was she annoying. I just kept waiting and waiting...

[Kitsa]

I kept wanting that antagonistic detective to put his kufi back on so he looked right again.

But then, I came to Dexter from Oz.

[Ex Leper]

I recently finished watching every episode of Roseanne & That 70's Show, currently on 3rd Rock from the Sun. What old sitcom should I do next?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Bob Newhart Show

[Esuohlim]

Newsradio

[Ex Leper]

I already have the seasons that are up on DVD, I just need the one where Lovitz took over.

[Esuohlim]

The Lovitz season is not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be, everyone was probably just pissed that Phil Hartman had the cuntiest wife in history :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That's a pretty tall order but I gotta agree on that.

[Ex Leper]

It also began the feud with Jon and Andy

[Esuohlim]

I hate Andy Dick with a passion, and it sometimes kills me how much I love him in Newsradio. :( Andy is just a waste of human life in most respects, much like Pram Maven.

This is a great scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j0wh8e0Rig

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Andy dick is another useless excuse of a person. If there were ever to be a live action winnie the pooh movie I would cast him as tigger.

edit: I agree

[Ex Leper]

The difference between Andy and Pram though is Pram is an internet annoyance, Andy has a son around my age and that makes it all the sadder because his son has to suffer from the embarrassment of constantly reading about his dad waving his penis at people at his shows all because he's a horrible drunk. It's depressing. I still love NewsRadio and the short-lived Ben Stiller Show though. Making fun of Andy Dick is about as original as a Michael Jackson pedophile joke, while Pram constantly brings us new material to harp on.

[Tadao]

SCTV

[Ex Leper]

I have The Best of John Candy on SCTV on VHS and I watched a documentary about the history of Second City theater the other day. if they have the seasons up for streaming I'd love to watch them again.

Update: SCTV is only available though DVDs, my plan is set to streaming only because the raised the price for DVDs so it make's my viewing options limited.

[Fathom Zero]

I hate Doctor Who now.

[Kitsa]

Speaking of Dr. Who, I was horrified to see Catherine Tate on The Office last night. The reasons are complex.

I really, really, really like Catherine Tate. I went to see Gulliver's Travels just because Catherine Tate had a small role in it. I have all of the Catherine Tate Show DVDs and even the Christmas specials. I watched the David Tennant Dr. Who, even.

The character she's playing on The Office, as Steve Carrell's potential replacement, is annoying as all hell. I have a very high threshold for Catherine Tate exposure (see above) and I was wanting to change the channel after about 30 seconds of it. Now I see all of these "Catherine Tate might replace Steve Carrell!" stories and all I can see is a truncated season of having to deal with that character. I don't know how most Americans react to her, but I'm thinking maybe a lot of people are not going to find that character funny.

[Zhukov]

You sounds bothered.

[Kitsa]

innit though

[captain516]

The guy who plays Abed on Community is Indian/Polish. That's craaaazy

[Kitsa]

Just finished up season 2 of Dexter. You're right, Lila was more annoying than Rita and Deb combined.

Also, I thought David Carradine's lisp was from his dentures, but his brother sounds exactly like he did, so it must be a family thing.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Who is david carradine's brother?

[Fathom Zero]

Keith Carradine.

[Tadao]

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dexter+carradine

[WhiteRat]

So I happened to catch my first episode of How I Met Your Mother and although I'm not a big fan of your standard sitcoms I actually really enjoyed it. I'm thinking about picking up a few seasons on DVD. Yay or nay?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

So I happened to catch my first episode of How I Met Your Mother and although I'm not a big fan of your standard sitcoms I actually really enjoyed it. I'm thinking about picking up a few seasons on DVD. Yay or nay?

Definitely yay. The show keeps going with the funny even with new episodes though.

Keith Carradine.

Just finished up season 2 of Dexter. You're right, Lila was more annoying than Rita and Deb combined.

Also, I thought David Carradine's lisp was from his dentures, but his brother sounds exactly like he did, so it must be a family thing.

:o I thought that was stephen collins

also sweet dee and dennis dad. I've been thinking it was the 7th heaven guy all this time.

[Mad Melvin]

So I happened to catch my first episode of How I Met Your Mother and although I'm not a big fan of your standard sitcoms I actually really enjoyed it. I'm thinking about picking up a few seasons on DVD. Yay or nay?

Yay. Altough I have stopped watching it after season 4, I think. Almost every character started to annoy me, except for Barney. But the first three seasons were great.

Season finale of house last night had me cracking up.

[Ex Leper]

Are the Masters of Horror episodes worth checking out?

[Mad Melvin]

Are the Masters of Horror episodes worth checking out?


There's a lot of shit, but I really liked S02E02 "Family" and S02E02 "Sounds Like". S01E10 "Sick Girl" was ok too.

[Ex Leper]

I will watch those first, thanks.

[Kitsa]

Got through the first ep of season 3 of Dexter and just now realized that this is the same man as the emcee in Cabaret. Duh.

[King Hadas]

Are the Masters of Horror episodes worth checking out?
I only watched the first season, most of the episodes from that are worth watching but few lived up to the title Masters of Horror. A select few were real garbage though, "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road", "Fair Hair Child", and the absolute worst, "Dance of the Dead".

[Mad Melvin]

A select few were real garbage though, "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road", "Fair Hair Child", and the absolute worst, "Dance of the Dead".

Dance Of The Dead was the worst episode of the whole show. Aside from the original idea, it failed on every possible level. It was the shittiest thing Tobe Hooper has ever made, and he has made a lot of stinkbombs.

Yeah, it was fun. :)

So I bought 3 seasons of Californication on DVD after seeing 2 episodes. Hope I like it!

[Ex Leper]

My current series marathon is The Cosby Show. It's very dull compared to his hilarious stand up and Footbal appearances.

[Dimnos]

The cosby show gets a million times funnier one you get married and have kids.

[Guitar Woman]

So how about that Ganger bullshit?

"We swapped shoes. I'm the Doctor."
Oh yes.

Amy has been a Ganger the entire season, while real Amy's stuck in some creepy hospital
oh noooooooo

j_NLjHUKEro

Fuck yes, son. Do you hear me? FUCK YES.

This is officially the best season of new Doctor Who.

[Kitsa]

My favorite Cosby Show joke is when Vanessa comes home all melodramatic and says that the kids treat her differently at school because she's rich.

Cliff Huxtable sort of stares for a moment, and then says, "You're not rich; your parents are rich. You have nothing."

[Kitsa]

Stopped Twin Peaks for a while because it was depressing the almighty fuck out of me. Guess I'd better start again.

[MarioRPG]

There's a good 5 or 6 episode stretch of Twin Peaks that is just horrible, boring and hard to watch. Thats what made it so hard for me to watch that series anyway

[Fathom Zero]

<3 twin peaks

[Esuohlim]

I've been meaning to watch Twin Peaks for like three goddamn years but then I completely forget about it until someone brings it up again :(

EDIT: Location change should fix that :D

[Mad Melvin]

I haven't seen Twin Peaks either, apart from a few episodes here and there. The episodes I saw were a bit boring, but then again I had no idea who the characters were etc.

Maybe I should just buy the boxset. It's cheap as hell too.

[Kitsa]

It's on netflix instant so that made it pretty easy for me. I like David Lynch, but there's only so much I can take at a time. I found I could do two or three eps in a day, but if I watched more than that I started either feeling weird or getting nightmares.

Twin Peaks' comedy makes it much easier to watch than other David Lynch stuff. It's sort of like Blue Velvet meets Northern Exposure, if that makes any sense.

[Fathom Zero]

Hahaha. Apt description. Yeah, its weirdness is terrifying and hilarious in equal measures.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The twin peaks movie isn't a bad starting place either

[Kitsa]

I think the MC Chris video is the best place to start.

Edit:

:lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Franklin and bash is pretty funny. Mark paul gosselar and breckin meyer go around kicking ass in the courtroom.

[Esuohlim]

I could probably take Breckin Meyer in a fight

[Fathom Zero]

I'm pretty sure a wet paper bag could take Brecken Meyer in a fight.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

But these are law fights.

Looking forward to the new season of Dexter. Mos Def is going to be this seasons guy.

[Kitsa]

I think David Lynch was one of my favorite characters in the show, actually.

Piper Laurie bothered the hell out of me, especially with the ridiculous dress-up-like-Confucius shit.

[kahljorn]

i saw this movie made by david lynchs daughter that was actually sort of better than almost anything david lynch ever made. At least it was better t han INLAND EMPIRE
it had dennis hopper? i think it was him

[ThrashO]

Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a great show, I own all of it on cds. Also, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is probably the greatest show ever made.

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

Great show

Can hardly wait

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a great show, I own all of it on cds. Also, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is probably the greatest show ever made.

season 4+ of l"philadelphia" is bad times.

[Esuohlim]

I think one of my all-time favorite Sunny scenes is in season 4, where Dennis and Frank go to the orgy and it ends up being just a bunch of fat people in masks and a buffet

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

What's the password? O.r.g.y.

[ThrashO]

"Oh come on Frank that guys not even wearing a mask!" / "He's got the right idea, mask gets in the way of the food!"

I think after season 4 the episodes are either hilarious or uninteresting. I just hope it doesn't get canned.

"I'm gonna rape you so hard the room's gonna stink."

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I meant season 5+ where it started decling.

[Grislygus]

okay, so NewsRadio is on netflix now. Vaaaaaaaaaguely remember it. DEFINITELY remember awarding it the same attention one would lavish on a Chia pet.

Did NOT remember it being all about the Phil Hartman and "Milton from Office Space" guy. That peaked my interest. watched three episodes. First two consisted entirely of "Oh, you wacky mid-ninties comedy work sitcom. Look fellas! Mediocre shenanigans!"

Third episode suddenly had me laughing, with one huge 'hilarious as goddamn fuck' moment. Does anyone else remember this show, and can anyone tell me if I should bother watching any more

[Tadao]

I loved it, but it sounds like you're gonna be a cunt about it.

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

You hit on the ratio early. It wasn't a bad show with about 1/3 of them being pretty damn funny and the other 2/3 mildly amusing.

[Esuohlim]

YES it's worth watching the whole damn thing

[Dimnos]

It's a good show. Although I hasn't watched it since it ended, so I don't know if it holds up to the test of time. Also I remember it being more about the guy from kids in the hall.

[Grislygus]

On episode 11. The mildly amusing ones are consistently getting funnier. Nothing's topped "smoking" yet. VERY happy that everyone already watched this :lol

[Kitsa]

I've decided to give up on the rest of Twin Peaks. Not for the inability to follow the plot twists; it's more because I find myself sick and tired of most of the characters. Also, the music.

Also, the formulaic intros to scenes (as in, all scenes at One Eyed Jack's being introduced with the buzzing sign).

I might take it up again at some point but I am just not up to watching that show on a marathon level.

[Kitsa]

...still chugging through Dexter eps. We're at the end of the third season now, and I'm getting tired of Jimmy Smits so I hope something good happens soon.

Lauren Velez seems to be getting more likeable as the series goes on.

I lol'd when they were having the discussion of how they could get someone killed in jail. Srsly? Like half the cast comes from Oz. Just have them bring some old scripts.

[Fathom Zero]

Also, the music...

Angelo Badalamenti is wicked, so go die in a fire. And I would agree with that last statement. The pacing really makes you feel like you're slogging through quicksand.

[kahljorn]

slogging through david lynch

[Fathom Zero]

Nothing's worse than doing critical analysis papers on Lynch. Inland Empire is so fucked up.

[Kitsa]

Angelo Badalamenti is wicked, so go die in a fire. And I would agree with that last statement. The pacing really makes you feel like you're slogging through quicksand.

DIAF is so 2004 :(

It's not the quality of the music I have a problem with, it's the ham-handed way it's used. It's worse than Wagner and I hate Wagner.

[Kitsa]

Finished season 3 of Dexter. This season was more plot-holey than others. Also, Rita looks sunburned 100% of the time, but maybe that's a Florida thing.

[Fathom Zero]

I didn't know die in a fire was a thing ;_;

[Kitsa]

It is. Or it was.

Started season 4 of Dexter. Met my lifetime John Lithgow butt-viewing quota in about 2 seconds.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah. I missed that episode but I could definitely go on without seeing john lithgows butt. I saw kathy bates butt one time. bad times.

[Kitsa]

Weird thing is I also saw M Butterfly, which starred John Lithgow and BD Wong (from Oz), and now I feel like my worlds of Oz and Dexter are somehow colliding.

Where did you see Kathy Bates' butt? I know there was some movie where she was in a hot tub, but I can't remember what it is.

I'm no playboy model myself so I'd better just keep quiet about her butt. :/ But manass is almost never good times.

[Pentegarn]

It was "About Schmidt" with Kathy Bates' posterior in a hot tub Kitsa

[kahljorn]

BD WongTHE PSYCHOLOGIST FROM LAW AND ORDER

[Kitsa]

Continuing with Dexter. Things getting more plotholey and unlikely :(

However, John Lithgow as a serial killer is creepy. as. fuck.

AND YES KAHL ALSO THAT BUT I PREFER HIM IN DRAG AS A CHINESE OPERA STAR OR AS A PRIEST IN A PRISON, OKAY, OR WATCHING POPAZIT.COM OR SOMETHING WITH ICE T OR SNOOPY DOG DOG OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS

http://www.twitvid.com/AQDI6

[kahljorn]

OR SOMETHING WITH ICE T

LAW AND ORDER SVU

[Kitsa]

JUST WATCH THE FUCKING ZIT VIDEO KAHLJORN

[kahljorn]

OKAY I DID IT WAS KINDA FUNNY

[Dimnos]

Continuing with Dexter. Things getting more plotholey and unlikely :(

Examples please? I know they are there, I just want to know what is jumping out to you.

However, John Lithgow as a serial killer is creepy. as. fuck.

I believe he saved that season. :faint

[executioneer]

i kept expecting what's his face gordon-levitt to show up

[Kitsa]

Well, I'll start out in very general terms. Dexter has his stalking rituals, and he uses police department resources to get info on his potential victims. Time and time again, they show him looking up addresses, license numbers, etc. They also show him using google maps-alike (Hollywood OS) to determine good places to ambush his prey. At work.

You'd think that after the whole "Bay Harbor Butcher" thing at the very LEAST, that he might be concerned about his access being monitored. Every one of his victims could seemingly be found in his searches.

And one thing that really bothered me last season was the internal investigations officer who kept following Deb around. I didn't know that cooperation was optional with that stuff. I thought that if you refused to cooperate, that kind of put you in the crosshairs yourself.

Other than that, it was just a ton of little stuff, from body-hiding to people who seemed to have fatal dumbass lack of observation flaws, to things that seemed to have a remarkable lack of consequences.

[Esuohlim]

I couldn't watch Dexter anymore after watching the Wire. I stopped after Season 3, which I didn't like at all. I know they're two completely different shows, but those are the only two crime shows I've ever seen and Dexter is complete shit by comparison.

[Dimnos]

No breaking bad milhouse? :eek

[Esuohlim]

Not yet :x I've got quite a list of shows to get around to

[Kitsa]

I'm in the middle of reading the first Dexter book, too, the one the shows are based off of. I think that even though the book came first, the show kind of ruined it for me. I've already got the characters pictured in my head, and so on. And now I can't say "Oh, they were really true to the book." I've heard that later in the series the book and the tv show diverge almost completely.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah, I think Dexter has a girl in the book....then later he might be a canibal.

[Tadao]

Watching Wipeout always makes me feel happy.

[Kitsa]

I refuse to watch Wipeout. I will only watch Count Takeshi's Castle, or MXC in a pinch.

[Tadao]

I got bored with those. I used to watch Ninja Warrior religiously.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I love some wipeout. The winter wipeout is especially brutal.

Love some ninja warrior as well. Was really disappointed with the american episode though.

[Tadao]

My Direct TV dropped that stupid channel just before the American Ver 2 was aired. Ninja warrior was the only reason I watched that channel. I even forget it's stupid name. The one that was all about computers and then they turned all about the lols.

[Dimnos]

I could never get into Ninja Warrior as it just wasnt funny. Wipeout is great though. :lol

[kahljorn]

i watched soem breaking bad last night on amc and its a pretty neat show :O

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

G fucking 4. I was wondering why I don't watch it anymore. Because I've had directv for a year. Fuck those dicks.

[Esuohlim]

I watched Web Soup on G4 last week. I don't think the show knows that it isn't funny.

[Kitsa]

Really wanted to enjoy Jon Benjamin has a van. Did not enjoy it at all. Only laughed once, and halfheartedly.

What I really want is a McGuirk spinoff. Sometimes I pretend that it's McGuirk's Burgers instead of Bob's.

[Esuohlim]

I could listen to him talk all day. I forgot to watch the show last night, but I saw promos constantly and hearing McGuirk's voice come out of a real dude is captivating

[Kitsa]

It's weirder when they show him up close. He almost looks like Paul Giamatti, but with different eyes.

I could also listen to him talk all day. But the show...bleh. It was too "done". It was like the Tim and Eric Awesome Show gets when they're trying too hard and stops being funny and just starts being kind of uncomfortable.

I love that the back of the van is painted like his ass, though.

Just watch archer.

He's also in the movie "the ten" which might be the funniest movie ever made.

[kahljorn]

oh i saw that bob's burgers show i think. it was pretty funny ;/

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I started watching workaholics on comedy central. Its kind of funny but not brilliant or anything. Definitely watchable.

Some episode last night had two of the guys arrive home both wearing fedoras and they get mad at each other due to the "One Fedora per crew" rule.

The one guy is like "Yeah right. You give up yours. I look totally sweet in mine. I'm ska right now. I'm pretty much in Reel Big Fish."

Which to me hits a personal point. I would definitely wear a fedora except for everyone else that already wears one irritates the heck out of me. Once they go out of style I'm going to get one.

[Kitsa]

I haven't been able to stand Comedy Central for a long time.

[kahljorn]

ive never liked any person who wears hats i dont think

[Mad Melvin]

I have a two week vacation and was thinking of watching something I haven't seen before. I hear good things about Justified. Maybe I should start with that. On the other hand, this would be a good time to watch Twin Peaks.

[Dimnos]

I really want Justified to be like a modern Deadwood but its probably not, so I dont watch it. :\

Do you have netflix?

[Mad Melvin]

Do you have netflix?

No. I already bought Twin Peaks boxset and i'll just pirate Justified. If it's any good, i'll buy the boxset of that too.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

better get watchin then. summer is about to start.

[Kitsa]

Go slow on the Twin Peaks, just a few eps at a time.

[Ex Leper]

Currently streaming Married with Children. They replaced the theme song with generic sound-alike music to avoid paying for the song :\

[Kitsa]

Blasphemy.

Married With Children embodied that ugly late 80s-early 90s time so well, too.

I'm wrapping up the fourth season of Dexter, over halfway now. Finished the first book, too, which I hated. I hate the way it's written. I never imagined that the characters on an inspired-by cable show would have more depth than they did in the book they came from. God, I hated that book. Couldn't wait to finish it, to get it over with. Mad at myself for buying the first two at once...now I'll have to read that one, too.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have 3 of the later seasons of married with children on dvd and they do the same thing with the theme song....fuck that.

[executioneer]

what the shit. you absolutely can't have married with children without that song, pay to license it you cheap fucks

[Ex Leper]

I love sound-alikes when it's parody but with a show like Married With Children they should just pay the rights again, I think they can still use it on re-runs. There original contract probably didn't include home video as an option which is also why The State was butchered.
