Television Shows (NEW ARCHER IN TWO :EEKS)

[Fathom Zero]

Fuck Futurama. Louie premieres Thursday.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I tried watching his show a few times. I must be one of the only people that don't really care for him. From what I've seen of louie its just bad stuff happens to him then he kinda mopes about it for a while. Then he gripes about it too but not in a funny way.

How far off is that?

[Fathom Zero]

If that's how you react to hilarious things, then there's no helping you. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:\

[Dimnos]

Gaffigan is better. :\

[Fathom Zero]

I don't understand

I don't even understand.

[Kitsa]

Just wrapped up season 4 of Dexter.

How, uh, uncomfortable and horrible.

I was sort of using Tim Curry as my gold standard of "creepy as fuck when he wants to be", but I think John Lithgow could give him a run for his money. I'll never be able to watch Third Rock the same way again.

Also, I'm in the middle of the second Dexter book. Although it's marginally better than the first one, I still hate it. It's bizarre to me that the show can have more plot development and character depth than the novel. The writing style is "Junior High AP English".

For an asexual sociopathic killer, book-Dexter sure spends a lot of time describing women's hot bodies :writtenforguysbyguys

:/

[kahljorn]

sort of like chuck pahlanuik or that mccormick dude ;/ although i never saw the road.

[Tadao]

Lithgow has always creeped me out.

[Kitsa]

Started season 5 tonight. I didn't like the first episode at all. I'm now convinced that those cops must be the most incompetent and least intuitive homicide department on the planet.

[Esuohlim]

I saw this picture of clean-shaven short-haired Weird Al this morning and it reminded me a little bit of Lithgow

http://jasonkinnison.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/weirdal.jpg

[Babs]

I see a RoG resemblance

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That picture looks super weird with short hair.

[Dimnos]

When is that from?

[Shyandquietguy]

Is it me or does it look like he has a phantom mustache?

[Kitsa]

Started season 5 of Dexter. After season 4's creepiness, season 5 feels sort of let-downish. The episodes all seem like they're over too fast and not very fulfilling. Like they're fitting in less, or something.

[Ex Leper]

When is that from?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I caught jem just now. the theme intro is like a fucking daft punk video.

[Kitsa]

damn, what other thing did that woman write (other than the theme to Jem)....someone on youtube was in the comments all "I TRACKED HER DOWN AND SAID THIS IS WHY I BECAME A COMPOSER AND WE CRIED" or something.

Some other cartoon into she wrote.

[Pentegarn]

Zoidberg: "Hiya hiya hiya! So what's the deal with airline food? They offer you two choices, but they're always out of one! By the way we're out of both choices" :lol

[k0k0]

Anyone watch Wilfred the other night? It was fucking weird and I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. I mean, it was interesting to watch, but it wasn't as funny as I think it should have been, being a comedy. And Elijah Wood just doesn't fit for me yet.

[Kitsa]

halfway through dexter season 5. Still hate it.

[Fathom Zero]

SPOILERS:

louie was good

[kahljorn]

I'll never watch Wilfred. I think they are just trying to get a furry audience

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I watched part of wfred but then boned. I like the show cuz it got me poon.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Poon is way harder to get from a girl who has a kid.

[k0k0]

So was it Elijah Wood that got her going, or the guy in the furry suit?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I watched the episode of hjb has a v where he goes into the vangate. It seemed kinda funny. Where they turned area 54 into a rundown irish bar.

[k0k0]

You should watch the first episode of jbhav, it's probably my favorite one. I like the show mainly just for how far they take the sketches. But Borders (first ep) was just so funny for me.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have to dvr it and something else recorded it instead. Series set to record though.

[Mad Melvin]

Just watched Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. A friend of mine suggested it to me, and I was not dissapointed. Extremely well made parody of low budget 80's tv-series. The intro alone made me crack up. Highly recommended.

zpdgEv9us5A

[Kitsa]

I didn't like the Jon Benjamin show. :( Somehow to me it feels like any time he is not McGuirk is wasted time :(

Way into the fifth season of Dexter now, still hate it. I hope it wraps up soon because I'm pretty sick of all the characters.

[Esuohlim]

Don't torture yourself, just give up on it

[King Hadas]

I don't know which show milhouse is referring to but if it's Dexter, yeah, I'm sorry you had to sit through those last three seasons. My advise to anyone else starting Dexter is to stop after season 2. Don't let hope and curiosity get the better of you, those the last three seasons will break your heart. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

New true blood starts tomorrow too. :(

[Esuohlim]

My advise to anyone else starting Dexter is to stop after season 2. Don't let hope and curiosity get the better of you, those the last three seasons will break your heart. :(

Yeah, Dexter. All I got about it was hype hype hype hype and the show isn't anything special as far as I can see. Even the first season annoyed me with Dexter fetishing over the fucking clues getting left to him in every episode.

[executioneer]

but you get to see john lithgow's ass a bunch

[Esuohlim]

serious :( here

[executioneer]

at least you don't get to see his limp oven fry d*ck :achewood

[Kitsa]

I don't know...I like the show ok, not as much as Oz but I have the same "Oh, I'll just see it through" feeling.

The first season, the women annoyed the hell out of me. All of them.

The second season, Lila annoyed the hell out of me.

The third season was okay for a while, but then Jimmy Smits started to annoy the hell out of me.

The fourth season, I saw John Lithgow's ass a lot. But I think he was probably the best "badguy" of all of them.

The fifth season is almost like it's written by an entirely different staff. The plot develops so slowly and it's all dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. Shot of Dexter's face with words coming out of it. Shot of Lumen's face with words coming out of it. Back to Dexter. Back to Lumen. Repeat.

I don't give a shit about any of the badguys this season. I've heard them promise that season 6 will be way better.

I finished the second Dexter book and hated that, too, but I'd already bought it so I felt like I had to read it.

[Pentegarn]

Another thing about the first new episode of Futurama that made me laugh was Scruffy the Janitor still has his mustache when he is a woman

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The professors tits flapping in the wind almost made me throw up.

[Kitsa]

Finished Dexter. It got better at the very end. I've heard that the season coming up is sort of a reversion to "old" Dexter...I really hope so.

[Mad Melvin]

Finished Dexter. It got better at the very end. I've heard that the season coming up is sort of a reversion to "old" Dexter...I really hope so.

What I really hated about season 5 was the last episode where Deb is in the same room as Dexter and that annoying sidekick and she doesn't even open the curtain to see who is behind it. Fuck that. And at the end, everything is restored to status quo.

But the season was pretty dumb all around, so that didn't really suprise me that much.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The new season coming out has Mos Def in it. :picklehat

Yeah, seriously. Since she hadn't known already that would have been the time to do it.

[Kitsa]

I think the whole "people not acting the way they really would in such a situation" is becoming fairly standard for that show :(

[Pentegarn]

So I got around to watching the premier of Falling Skies. I like it so far, I need to watch the next episode still. Hoping it doesn't get to high budget though and turn into a soap opera where you see an alien every 3-4 weeks.

[Kitsa]

I got the DVD for season 1 of Northern Exposure from netflix. Haven't watched it since it originally aired, so this should be interesting.

[Esuohlim]

Kitsa you need to watch The Wire

[Kitsa]

Well, you need to watch Twin Peaks.

[executioneer]

and friendship is magic

[Fathom Zero]

fuck friendships

that's like a more formal version of fuck-buddies, right

Man, I love conan, but I also hate watching him because it's the show I watch while I work out. I'm not gonna pretend that I lift weights, I ride my elliptical while watching conan.

[Mad Melvin]

Just watched the whole first season of Millennium. It was suprisingly good. If my memory serves, seasons 2 and 3 weren't that great, but they're still next on my list of things to see.

[Esuohlim]

I tried Millennium and gave up on it because I found it boring. It was like the X-Files without anything cool happening.

[Fathom Zero]

I liked that one episode with Charles Nelson Reilly, though.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Shit shit shit.

The 2011 hot dog eating championship is on espn right now. All the contestants have bios and entrance music like its the fucking wwf.

And championship belts, music videos and this guy that looks like chojin.

Pat deep dish bertoletti.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

True blood last night. I've heard not a single outcry against the gang rape train that went on.

[Dimnos]

Gang rape train?

[Dimnos]

Oh with Jason and the hillbillies? He kind of had it coming.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm just saying though, if the shoe were on the other engine people would have been appalled. My girlfriend was all like "I would have been the conductor."

[k0k0]

I agree with you. If it were a chick who was tied up naked, mangled by panthers, then drugged and gang raped, you can rest assured people would be up in arms about how overboard True Blood went.

[Dimnos]

This is because men are men and women are cry babies.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Even if I am a mans man I don't won't death by snu snu.

[Mad Melvin]

I'm halfway through the second season of Millennium. The tone of the series has changed radically after season 1. It's gone from creepy and dark to X-filesy with more humor crammed into it. The first season was awesome, but the second has been kinda meh, excluding a few pretty cool episodes. Milhouse is still dead wrong about the series being boring. It is not.

[Esuohlim]

I just couldn't get into it, and I tried. I almost made it through the first season but gave up because I was tired of trying to enjoy it

[Grislygus]

I loved it when I first watched it, and then only moderately liked it after watching it all a second time and realizing that I wouldn't give a shit about anything if the main character had been played by anyone other than lance henriikson or however you spell his name

[k0k0]

Breaking Bad is finally back in 3 days. My body is ready.

[Pentegarn]

You get the preview for Walking Dead as a bonus during the premier I think

[WhiteRat]

Breaking Bad is finally back in 3 days. My body is ready.

I really liked the first 3 episodes and then never watched it again and have no inkling to do so in the future.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

[Krythor]

Whaaaaaaaat. It gets way better around about episode five of season one. Season two was slightly ruined by Jesse's girlfriend but season three was almost Wire-level great and I am REALLY excited about season four. If you enjoyed the first three episodes of season one, when pretty much nothing happened, then there's no reason not to watch the rest.

Well since I recently finished all 6 seasons of How I Met Your Mother and need something new to watch, I'll give it another shot, for you my dear Krythor.

[k0k0]

Good shit from breaking bad as usual. Could have used less Skylar, but I guess they gotta show that Walt is being watched by 2 bosses now.

[WhiteRat]

Thanks a lot way to ruin the show for me! I'm never watching Breaking Bad ever again.

[Krythor]

:(

[Zomboid]

The Walking Dead kinda sucked, guys. Hopefully season 2 is better.

Watched Breaking Bad and Curb your Enthusiasm. Both great.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've watched a few episodes of curb your enthusiasm but I can't take more than 5 mins of larry david complaining about something.

[Dimnos]

The Walking Dead kinda sucked, guys. Hopefully season 2 is better.

I thought it was good... Then I started reading the comics. Now its not so great. :\

[executioneer]

uggh i hate curb your enthusiasm

but i kind of hate seinfeld too so that's probably related

[WhiteRat]

uggh i hate curb your enthusiasm

Willie you are now on my short list of PEOPLE I NEED TO KILL.

I know it's only two episodes in but i'm pretty disappointing with this seasons Curb. Personally I though they should of focused more on Larry's divorce if they weren't going to send him to New York right away. This last episode didn't seem to have a point or even do anything to further/start the season's story line which I'm assuming will focus on him in New York.

[k0k0]

I actually never sat down to watch curb, but I hear the dude on it teaches a girlscout how to use a tampon and describes it like a little penis. I may have to check it out.

[WhiteRat]

Sans the little penis part.

[k0k0]

Sans the little penis part.

Oh well, I'll still eventually check it out. Is season 1 an ok spot to start on? I don't want to watch the whole season, it be shitty, and have someone say it doesn't get good until ________ .

[Kitsa]

The only one I really liked was the one where his rabbi asked if he could bring a "survivor" to dinner. He assumed, since it was a rabbi, that he was talking about a Holocaust survivor, so he invited another Holocaust survivor. Then the "survivor" turned out to be some douche who was on Survivor and wouldn't shut up about how much he suffered on the show, and he and the real concentration camp survivor got in a fight. That was a good one.


Also the one where he got Christian Slater blackballed from all the hollywood parties for hoggng caviar at a buffet. Actually, that might have been the same episode.

[WhiteRat]

You're not missing anything if you don't watch season 1. There isn't a a recurring story line or anything; it's just a bunch of random stuff that happens that to be honest, isn't even that funny. Start off on season 2.

[Zomboid]

I actually really, really liked the second episode of this season. Some of it was pretty obvious, but Larry's comments in the battered women's home were fucking gold, Jerry, gold!

[executioneer]

Willie you are now on my short list of PEOPLE I NEED TO KILL.
sorry man i just can't stand any of the people on that show or their sense of humor

i apologize for not jizzing all over the soup nazi or their hilarious who can go longest without masturbating storyline

For some reason this episode is always on. Like, I've caught it on at least 4 different occasions.

[King Hadas]

The Ricky Gervais

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. The shows structure is pretty ingenious. It's called the Gervais show but every merit of it revolves around Pilkington. Pilkington by himself wouldn't work though, he needs Gervais and Stephen to play the hostile straight man. One thing I don't like is Stephen and Gervais' intellectual pretensions, it makes them seem embarrassingly smug though this may be the cartoonist's fault.

[k0k0]

I listened to the Ricky Gervais podcasts a few years before watching the show, and I find the show more enjoyable with the animations. I hear that since they're running out of material for the show from the original podcasts, they're going to start recording new stuff soon.

It's lead me to watch even more shows with karl pilkington in it and I'd suggest checking out "An Idiot Abroad" in which Karl is pretty much forced to travel to places, which he hates and has an awful time, but it's just too funny how unhappy he is doing things normal people would dream of doing.

Not that any of you give a shit.

My body is entirely ready for more Weeping Angels.

[Dimnos]

Explain to me why they cant just carry rocket launchers around and blow those pussies up?

[executioneer]

because they sort of exist partially outside of spacetime and can't be harmed physically?

[WhiteRat]

So is anyone obsessed with Storage Wars like I am?


YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP

[k0k0]

I had to google that to find out what it was. I did get hooked on watching shitty Pawn Stars for about 5 days once. I think I went through like 50 of them and then just kind of stopped watching them because they're horrible.

[WhiteRat]

That's what's so great about Pawn Stars; it's horrible. I don't go out of my way to watch those fat assholes lowball the shit out of everyone but I'll watch it when i'm flipping channels. It's hilarious when Rick (bald fat asshole) randomly walks into the shop and announces to everyone that he's brought turkey footlongs from Subway for all! The Subway tie ins are hilariously pathetic.

[k0k0]

Oh man, that's about when I stopped watching. As soon as that fat fucker announces that they're going to be eating subs for like 3 episodes straight, I said "Ok, it's quitting time." It was a slap to the face to even think that those dicks are eating anything other than 12 subs at a time or a pile of fried chicken wings.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

When we were in vegas last week we were going to go to the pawn stars shop. It ended up being a 45 minute wait to walk around inside for 2 mins. Forget that.

I did like the episode where Chum Lee drove the batmobile from batman returns.

I get hooked on storage wars too.

[Grislygus]

http://www.sfx.co.uk/2011/07/24/doctor-who-series-6b-trailer/

Not that any of you give a shit.


I'm sure everyone but me does. I've seen that episode with the squids roaming around in armed trashcans and pig people in the sewers; that was enough.


I'll watch pawn stars and storage wars whenever they happen to be randomly scheduled after Swamp People

HART SWAMP PEOPLE. I especially love how Troy's the only one who's a legitimate human being, in any way, shape, or form

[Mad Melvin]

Started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm. Never seen a single episode. I feel the need to punch myself in tender places for not watching this sooner. This show is excellent (based on the first season). 7 more seasons to go. That'll keep me busy.

[Esuohlim]

The first season isn't even that great, comparatively. You've got some good TV ahead of you

[Sam]

I'M WATCHING COMMUNITY AND IT'S GREAT.

[Nick]

Has the new seasons of Futurama been any good? I haven't been keeping up with it at all.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

ITs been pretty good.

Dane cook comedy special is on in the bed room. Man I want to machete him.
I did like the preview for the new Louis ck show where Dane cook is on it and his agent is all like "Well louis, you stated you hate dane cook and his terribleness. He'd like to see you."

[darkvare]

i watched an episode of spartacus and is cool but the cgi blood is kinda lame

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah, I started watching spartacus but the was quickly disinterested in it though.

[Esuohlim]

I hear Spartacus has an incredibly shitty pilot episode and the rest is amazing

[Dimnos]

I downloaded the first season of spartacus but the first two episodes were so boring I just gave up.

[Krythor]

I'm not going to spoil it like that doofus koko did, but the new episode of Breaking Bad was fantastic. A great return to form after the dissapointment of last week. It is killing me having to wait a week between each one.

[Fathom Zero]

Gmj3FD71aWY

It's like chocolate, peanut butter, and more peanut butter.

[Mad Melvin]

Started watching The Sopranos again. God I love this show. It's like seeing old friends again. If I remember correctly, the 4th season is a bit slow at times, but other than that the show is just pure perfection.

[k0k0]

Watched the (most likely) last episode of Jon Benjamin Has a Van. I wish that comedy central would pick it up for another season, but the ratings aren't there I'm sure. It was just a crazy show that did a lot of stupid stuff and I liked it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

With a good size budget too.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Holy shit. The episode of jon benjamin has a van where he gets the shini curse is hilarious and my favorite so far.

[k0k0]

I like that one, but my favorite was the one where they go to the poor town and lose sound for half of the episode.

[WhiteRat]

Watched the first episode of Falling Skies the other day. It's actually pretty good but Dr. Carter is one whiny bitch. I love how he whines to the commander that he, a college military history professor with no military experience, should be in charge over a 14 year military vet with combat experience.

[Pentegarn]

Once you watch the rest of the season i will reply to that ;)

[WhiteRat]

Once you watch the rest of the season i will reply to that ;)

Ha i'm sure the crusty vet fucks up somehow but Dr. Carter acts like he should rightfully have taken over the platoon/squad/whatever over a trained veteran. In the end i'm sure he proves himself worthy but at that time all the viewer knows is that one guy is a book learner and the other has actual military experience. Not too hard of a decision if you ask me.

Also kids in sci fi shows/movies need to go away forever.

[Pentegarn]

Also kids in sci fi shows/movies need to go away forever.

I will also address this statement once you finish the season :lol

[Zomboid]

Does anyone else watch Dragons' Den or Shark Tank? Some of the people that show up are absolutely hilarious.

[k0k0]

I watch both actually! I have a bit more fun watching shark tank because that guy who masturbates over money (kevin o'leary) is hilarious to me for some reason. Plus all of the americans who get denied are generally more assholish than the british.

[Zomboid]

I watch both too, but I watch the Canadian DD, which has Kevin O'Leary and Robert Hjeravic. It's a lot less dramatic than the American one, obviously, and they show a lot more of the ridiculous ideas. All in all, it just seems a lot more fun. Shark Tank is kind of exactly what I'd expect from a show of that sort on an American network, but I still like it. Except that FUBU guy, who I can't stand.

[k0k0]

Damn, I have to look up the Canadian Dragon's Den now. I hope they have it streaming online somewhere. I don't like the FUBU guy either.

Edit: Can only find DD Ireland.

[Fathom Zero]

Dragon's Den is great.

[Ex Leper]

Just started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer on Netflix.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

New futurama'$ were funny as shit.

[Tadao]

So, I've started in at watching the new season of Breaking Bad and I forgot about Saul. :lol How could I have forgotten, I think the break between seasons was way to long.

[WhiteRat]

I will also address this statement once you finish the season :lol

Finally finished the first season.

Overall I thought the show was pretty good but Ricky and Ben are two annoying brats that need to go away forever. I thought Pope was pretty hilarious; I really thought he stole the show. Also Captain Weaver is much more enjoyable when he's poppin' pills and downing bottles of whisky.

[Pentegarn]

I just thought it was funny that you said kids need to go away in sci fi shows and it was going to turn out that the primary driving element to the plot was kids being harvested

[WhiteRat]

Got ya. I was really hoping that

Dr. Carter's stupid harnessed kid Ben wouldn't get rescued.

[Krythor]

So, I've started in at watching the new season of Breaking Bad and I forgot about Saul. :lol How could I have forgotten, I think the break between seasons was way to long.


The newest episode was the best of the season so far, it's definitely building towards something this year. Alot of people online seem to be feeling sorry for Jesse and hating Walt for what he's made him do, which drives me up the wall. How many times has Jesse fucked things up for Walt only for Walt to put himself in danger to put everything right again? Not to mention how many times Walt has murdered people now without whining about it. People also generally seem to hate him for the petty things he keeps doing this season, but for real, the guy is sure that he'll either be murdered or die of cancer in the near future. Give him a break.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

tried watching portlandia again. The only description I can come up is that this show eats fagz. Not in a good way either. Like in a bad canibalistic non sexual way.

[k0k0]

I hated portlandia too. Hey lets make a show about hipsters for hipsters that makes fun of hipsters but does it in a way that shows we like hipsters.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

synopsis of episode 4 from Tremors: The series

Things start going screwy when Tyler finds a foot near the side of the road and a hang-glider. Later, Burt and Tyler discover a delivery truck and the remains of the man who was supposed to be delivering Nancy's newkiln (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln). With these attacks, Burt deduces that an Ass-Blaster is on the loose. However, before he and Tyler can go to work and kill the thing, two people from Vegas arrive. They reveal themselves to be hired hands for Sigmund and Ray, the magicians to whom Nancy sold the Ass-Blaster to in Tremors 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremors_3), to recover their Ass-Blaster, Messerschmitt, after poachers failed to kidnap it. However, they severely screw up their first attempt to capture the Ass-Blaster and one of the hired hands nearly dies. Realizing it is now too smart to be fooled by a ground trap, Burt decides to use a hang-glider to launch a snack for Messerschmitt. They end up successful and tie up Messerschmitt. Burt hands it over to Sigmund and Ray's hired hands to be returned to Vegas.

[Fathom Zero]

Tremors could be the best thing ever.

[k0k0]

I hated all the Tremors past 2. They thought they could call them something that would be as memorable as Tremors. ass blasters, what the fuck?

[Fathom Zero]

:eek

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Did you see Tremors 4 where they are in the wild west? That's real bad times.

[Mad Melvin]

I have watched the original Tremors like 10 times or some shit, and I was psyched as a fetus when I saw Tremors 2 VHS tape at a video rental place. You rent videos from there. VHS tapes no less. Anyway, I watched that godawful piece of a rancid turd and it turned out to be a rancid fucking turd of awfulness. Why the fuck would they what the hell and goddamn. I cried for days and drank a lot of soda. It was a dark time in my life and I don't like to talk about it.

[Dimnos]

They even made a tv series I hear.

[MarioRPG]

So this season of True Blood ends on Sunday. Although it had perhaps the most shitty opening episodes ever, it managed to become much stronger and enjoyable. Finale is looking to be a great one.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I hope so, I hate me some Marnie. Especially Marnie's lackey.

I think I watch True Blood just to hate it. I mean, I enjoy watching it but personally I hate it. Their approach to storytelling is to give you an explosive start, boring middle, then a cliffhanger which leads to the next explosive start. The side stories seem tacked on and the whole show just layers on the cheeseyness of it all. That said, I watch it faithfully because my brain is somehow damaged in a way that I like to hate it.

[Tadao]

Yesterdays Futurama was the worse one they have ever made.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Sam's brother was an interesting character. He tried to help Sam a lot but ended up hurting him a lot instead. Because he was stupid.

[k0k0]

Yeah, they really killed him off when he started to get interesting with skin walking. It seems any time a character starts to get really interesting, they do something to change that.

[MarioRPG]

Yeah that's the weird thing about Tommy, up until that episode I was like "god damnit this guy is annoying just kill him or something".
And then I was like, oh he's gone now. :(

[k0k0]

Since I'm sick and in bed a lot the past few weeks, I decided to start watching Arrested Development all the way through again (I'm sure I've done this over 15 times). I've gone through the first season and half of the second. I still see and hear new things whenever I watch these episodes, they're just all layered. There's jokes you don't even laugh at unless you've seen later episodes way after the current one you're on. I know it's said so much, but fuck you America, for not watching this show when it was on. I know I did my part. Of course that was back when I actually watched television rather than download it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I still need to watch season two of arrested developement.

[k0k0]

Well you're in luck. Season 2 is free on Hulu for now. Until they switch the free thing to season 3.

[Fathom Zero]

All of it is on Netflix.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I just don't have enough time anymore.

[Kitsa]

I "won" two tickets to a theater screening of the new season of Dexter. Then when I went to print the pass, they pulled the old switcheroo and it was suddenly a screening of some new Showtime series with a "sneak peek" of Dexter.

I would have had to drive through downtown Cincinnati, which sucks under the best of circumstances, and if it had been a full preview episode of Dexter it would ALMOST have been worthwhile. I was pissed at the bait and switch, though, so I tried to give my tickets away. No takers :(

[k0k0]

By screening of the new season, you made it seem like you were going to be sitting in a theater for 14 hours watching the whole next season. So it was only like a 15 minute preview or something? That's pretty shitty. I don't think I'd go to the theater to watch 2 hours of dexter, of course I'm not a huge fan. There's only so many times ghost dad can pop out and talk to dex before I don't even want to watch that episode. They should just change the show to dexter and ghost dad solving crimes.

[Mad Melvin]

Started watching The Mighty Boosh. It's hilarious and one of those shows I really should have seen years ago. Very original stuff. Closest comparison I can think of is Spaced, but the jokes are a bit different. It's one of those comedies, where the jokes sound really dumb on paper, but when you actually see it happen, it's laugh out loud funny. Recommended for everyone with a sense of humor.

Some seasons of Dexter I didn't like at all, but on the whole I really enjoy the show. When I signed up for the screening, I thought that I was sort of applying to be in sort of a focus-group kind of thing, and that maybe we would watch the first episode of the new season and maybe answer a questionnaire or something. But no, turns out they were just using the more popular show to draw people in for a shitty show.

If it had been the season premiere of Dexter, I probably would have gone. But if I want to watch a five minute commercial about the upcoming season, I can do that anywhere.

They also had in fine print on the tickets that they had overbooked at each location to "ensure a full house" and that no one was actually guaranteed a seat. So, you know, fuck them.

[MarioRPG]

Ie, 2, 5, I assume

That is the most bullshit thing I have ever heard. What the flying fuck. Aside from that I'm ready for this season of Dexter, I haven't seen any previews or anything but I'm sure hoping that there will be more development than in the last season.

[Kitsa]

Couldn't stand season 2. Lithgow was creepy as all hell but parts of 5 were just really uncomfortable to watch.

The tickets said that if we really wanted the seat to arrive early, as each theater was overbooked "to ensure a full house" and that seats were not guaranteed. That's just about verbatim.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The finale of true blood was bettet than most of the season. Next season looks badass.

Also can't wait for new dexter with mos def.

[k0k0]

He wants everyone to call him Yasiin now. I hate people like that. You get called what you get called. That's like when I was 11 and wanted everyone to call me chains. I started wearing a big chain around my neck to enforce it. Seems like you get the nickname people give you unless you're some uppity rapper or whatever he is.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I guess thats like when a band wants to play new music they come up with a new band name.

I want a mos def reunion tour though :(

[Kitsa]

Like that guy on Oz whose name was Kenny and he wanted everyone to call him Bricks, lolz

[k0k0]

True Blood wasn't bad. Wasn't good either.

I'm just glad tara is dead. She's been an annoyance forever and needed to die seasons ago. I could give two fucks about the vampire league lady either. They were both annoying characters.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

true blood finale
yeah, I liked how eric snap, crackle and popped the goons she brought with her. Almost makes me think now too about Russell being back that maybe nan flanagan(such a stupid name too) knew he was back.

[MarioRPG]

I honestly predicted most of the last 15 minutes of True Blood, but it was still way, way awesome.
did not see the tara thing coming though

Always Sunny

Going to watch all I can on Netflix today.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

New the League and Workaholics in a few weeks. I kept trying to change to title for new sunny and it only shows on the first post instead of the thread title.

[Tadao]

GO ADVANCED NIGGA

[k0k0]

Not just sunny bitches. Archer episodes too. At least for the first few weeks. Awesome.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

GO ADVANCED NIGGA

I did.

[executioneer]

same problem i have with the chatroom thread

only milhouse can edit it :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I hope he strikes again. This thread should be currently titled Television Shows(New season of Its Always Shitty in Philadelphia)

except Flagg. Flagg is cool.

Hell yeahs to new archer too. All fucking 3 episodes of it this year.

[WhiteRat]

Has anyone watched Bar Rescue on Spike? It's basically a ripoff of Kitchen Nightmares but instead of a British asshole there's an American asshole with huge lips who turns around some truly awful bars and pubs. It's surprisingly good.

You can watch the first 7 episodes of season 1 for free:

http://www.spike.com/full-episodes/9pjca2/bar-rescue-fallen-angels-season-1-ep-101

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I saw part of an episode where the owner got all mad at him and was like "This isn't a bar rescue anymore. Its a bar fight!!!"

Then I don't think they fought at all.

[k0k0]

So I caught the first episode of a new season of survivor. I haven't watched survivor since season 1 or 2 (can't remember), so all the changes in it are really kind of stupid to me and it shouldn't be called survivor, but dudes on an island. From what I remember, in the original survivor they don't give them anything to help them. These people on the island now have rice and they have fire starting off. They're searching for some kind of hidden immunity thing too. They don't have to eat crazy things like bugs for food anymore. It just seems like they hang out at camp, then go do a challenge, then go back and hang out at camp some more before voting someone off. I want to see people try to 'survive', not hang out at camp. Oh well, might not catch any more of this show. We'll see how bored I get.

NEW ARCHER AND NEW IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY WERE GOOD.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

New archer was funny.

New sunny was an episode...and it happened.

[k0k0]

I thought the new sunny episode was tighter than dickskin. Still gotta watch archer this morning when I'm not busy.

edit:

Ok, archer was a sploosh. Only with semen.

[Dimnos]

I dont even...

[Esuohlim]

I hope he strikes again. This thread should be currently titled Television Shows(New season of Its Always Shitty in Philadelphia)

DONE

I really need watch Archer. I STILL HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED TWIN PEAKS. I am hell of behind on all my responsibilities :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

YOU MUST SPREAD REPUTATION OUT BEFORE GIVING IT TO ESUOHLIM

[ThrashO]

I MADE A PRETTY PENNY IN BOILED DENIM...

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

DONE

I really need watch Archer. I STILL HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED TWIN PEAKS. I am hell of behind on all my responsibilities :(


You can definitely fly through archer in a few days. They're only 20ish mins and only 10 episodes in season 1.

[k0k0]

You like frisky dingo too, 10k?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You like frisky dingo too, 10k?

I do, I've seen a majority of the episodes but not in any order. I liked the 2 episodes of the xtacles too. Rapier Ape was the greatest thing to come out of it though.

[k0k0]

I'm sad that I didn't get into Frisky Dingo before I watched the first 10 episodes of archer and looked up the production team online. I downloaded the episodes and then eventually bought the dvds since I liked them so much.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah, its pretty much the same character but with a new show.

[captain516]

Is it not cool to like It's Always Sunny now?
I was just getting into it too :(
My parents are huge Seinfeld fans and I told them this was like that and they liked it

[Fathom Zero]

Fuck anyone that says it's bad. >:

[Pentegarn]

Is it not cool to like It's Always Sunny now?


If it is, but you like it anyway, then who cares, watch it and fuck what anyone says :themoreyouknow

[k0k0]

Who said always sunny was bad? I don't think anyone in this thread did. It's a great show and a lot better than 90 percent of the trash on tv.

[Pentegarn]

10k did sort of, and Milpool changed the name. So there was those two, I have no opinion. I never actually watched it much

[k0k0]

I thought they were calling it shitty ironically kinda like I called Deus ex "douche ex" even though I know it the pronunciation doesn't match. And 10k didn't say it was bad. He just said it was an episode and it happened.

[Pentegarn]

That may be what they are doing too, not really sure.

[Krythor]

Let's analyse this further.

[Guitar Woman]

Why is this season of Doctor Who so fucking awful?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

It was my request that it be changed. The last season was disapointing. They don't write for the show anymore. Or direct it.

edit: For me it really peaked at seasons 3-4. I still want the finest milksteak though.

[Supafly345]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/supafly345/LuckyLouie.png

[Krythor]

Dr. Who was terrible? There's a shocker.

[Kitsa]

1) I will ONLY accept the Fourth Doctor.

2) I am indifferent about Always Sunny. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's not. To me.

3) I watched The Big Bang Theory today and really hated it. It was like the Third Rock format, only flailing with every intellectual-sounding term the writers could muster, and the laugh track was like a pair of sharpened sewing scissors to the kidneys.

[Dixie]

i was at the screening of always sunny's new season! someone has a picture of me with the green man hahaha

[k0k0]

So, all of the fox sunday animated shows really blow except for American Dad. Just my opinion. Will be nice when Bob's Burgers comes back on in the spring though.

[Krythor]

Has Bob's Burgers been renewed? I thought it had been cancelled.

New Breaking Bad was insane.

[executioneer]

Has Bob's Burgers been renewed? I thought it had been cancelled.

this is my reaction, as well

I'm glad it wasn't! I thought that show was pretty good considering its premise!

[k0k0]

Bob's Burgers is coming back in the spring and replacing American Dad 's slot.

And yes, Breaking Bad was pretty tense. I had kind of a panicky feeling after it was over because my heart was racing.

[Krythor]

Willie, is your user title Mexican Spike a Best Show reference?

[executioneer]

no it's a reference to my avatar :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I thought your avatar was Tadao in a dinosaur suit :(

[executioneer]

nope its one of the animators for that cartoon show i like (about the small horses) dressed up as a character from the show

and everyone on the place i got it from kept insisting he was mexican (despite him not being mexican)

[kahljorn]

its the moustache and wahacky pose

[ThrashO]

New sunny was FUNY.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

New workaholics was funny, a lot better than the first episode from last week.

Anders got drunk and woke up with bleach blond hair then started giving the other guy lip. The rowlf looking guy was all like "Whatever Ric Flair.....WHHOOOOOOOOOO!"

:LOL

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Also in the new workaholics someone gets hit in the face and is all like "funky buttloving."

Then they're like "did he just say funky buttloving?"

Love rookie of the year.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Last nights episode was actually really funny of philly. It felt like an older episode.

[Pentegarn]

Also in the new workaholics someone gets hit in the face and is all like "funky buttloving."

[k0k0]

Yeah, I read that yesterday. I am not sure if we should celebrate yet though. He doesn't have funding for it. Plus it'll take several studios that don't normally work together to do so.

[k0k0]

China, Il on adult swim was excellent. I really hope that adult swim keeps this one because Brad Neely is a comedy king. They changed how the animation is...it's not single frames anymore, which I guess wouldn't make sense on tv. Plus they gave everyone pupils. But I was surprised at how fast I got used to them moving fluidly and how good it was.

[ThrashO]

From what I saw it kind of reminded me of Superjail, which is one of the greatest shows of all time. Second season wasn't as good as the first though.

[Fathom Zero]

Neely and Augenblick make comics come to LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE

[k0k0]

I want to see more babycakes in China, il. I know most new people to the show will see him and think he's just the token stupid guy, but if you've seen the web animations, he's super deep. I wouldn't mind if it just focused on the professor brothers, but more babycakes would be nice for me.

[Dimnos]

but if you've seen the web animations, he's super deep.

I have no clue what these guys are talking about but I bert this is a lie.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol steve harvey is the new host of family feud. This shit is hilarious.

[k0k0]

As soon as you start hosting a gameshow and are a comedian, do you gotta go bald now? Howie mandell had good hair and so did steve harvey.

[Esuohlim]

Steve Harvey is awesome on Family Feud. Every episode I've seen he's a total dick to the contestants

[Esuohlim]

So I've been binging through some South Park for the last few weeks. Not in order, really, just jumping around here or there.

I've decided that the turning point of the series from awesome to shitty was the first episode they started 4th grade, halfway through Season 4. It's nothing but classic episode after classic episode until that point, which is where the forgettable episodes begin and there's more mediocre than good.

Cartman's character jumped the shark at the Scott Tenorman episode, which is early Season 5. Up until that point Cartman is dumb, naive, racist and intolerant not because he's an asshole but because he's a little kid who doesn't know any better. From that moment on Cartman is a conniving, plotting, evil little pseudo-genius who is racist and intolent in a completely different way that a little ignorant kid would be.

Episodes become unwatchable at around Season 7 or 8, when subtlety is thrown completely out the window in favor of repeating jokes over and over again or making one joke stretch the entirety of an episode. An example of the former is the Coon episode with the BP oil spill, where there are THREE goddamn instances where the BP guy apologizes while doing wacky things. An example of the latter is the Michael Jackson episode where it's all "haha we will try to charge a rich man for crimes he didn't commit just because he's black".

So yeah, the first three seasons are really the only good South Park. It's quick-paced and timeless. Episodes now focus on shitty topical humor and they have LONG GODDAMN DRAWN-OUT BORING DIALOGUE.

And the worst part about it, the WORST, is that nobody I know agrees. All my friends still love South Park to death just like they always have. I just find the newer episodes so mind-numbingly dull that it's hard for me to see what people still like about it >:

[executioneer]

south park is still on? whoa, color my mind blown

wait blown isn't a color n/m

[Krythor]

Don't worry Milhouse, I agree with you.

I think I started to hate it for the wrong reasons. I loved South Park when it started so much that I hated seeing it change in season four, with the new teacher, new theme music etc. What REALLY drove me up the wall though was that in season five they bizarrely began using stock music as incidental cues. I swear that before the fifth season all the music was written specifically for the show, but there is at least one cue in season five that I heard in an episode of King of the Hill, and there are other weird out of place cues that are obviously from elsewhere.

The other thing is the animation. I hate hate hate when there'll be an imitation 3d shot of Cartman or whoever. The one example I can think of is an episode in season 6 or 7 where Cartman prays to his Mel Gibson poster. It was so awkward and wrong. It's like The Simpsons when they realised that seeing Homer head-on or seeing Bart's face twist around when he spoke was disturbing, but in reverse. Matt and Trey want the animation to look worse for some reason.

Like you, I hated that one joke, usually topical, was stretched to fill an entire episode. I know that people are generally down on season 2, even Matt and Trey themselves, but it has real plots with jokes arising from the characters, the dialogue and the situation that they're in. Robert Redford or whatever celebrity will appear for two or three scenes of the episode, but it's not Mel Gibson running around throwing shit for twenty minutes.

What made it worse for me personally was that I was the biggest South Park fan I knew when it started, I liked it better than The Simpsons at the time (mostly because it had passed its peak; I was the biggest Simpsons fan I knew before South Park came along,) and I'm from the UK where South Park completely dissappeared from TV for two or three seasons. From season three it was pushed back later and later into schedules, season four arrived way later than usual, and season five arrived even later than that, I think almost a year later than it aired in the US. Season six didn't air on ANY channel, and I don't think season seven or eight did either. Eventually MTV picked it up and repeated all of the episodes we didn't get, and showed the new ones.

Obviously, I had turned to downloading them at season six when I had become impatient from the long wait I had for season five, so I got to see them. But I hated that people here had completely forgotten about it and acted like it was a terrible show that they didn't miss anyway. I tried to convince people that South Park was still good to no avail. Then MTV picked it up, people started watching again, and it got a second wind. Now people quote new South Parks, and I just think, "that episode is terrible, and where were you when it was still decent?"

I gave up on it for a few years after that, but in the last few months I've caught one or two when there's been nothing else on TV and actually really enjoyed it. I guess the distance has helped. I also may have just got lucky with the ones I stumbled across, as hardly any were current event based and were just about the kids being kids, such as the one where they all become wrestlers.

...What a long shitty post this is.

[Esuohlim]

Robert Redford or whatever celebrity will appear for two or three scenes of the episode, but it's not Mel Gibson running around throwing shit for twenty minutes.

Even though I don't understand how anyone could possibly dislike Season 2, I couldn't agree with this more (and I could write an even lengthier tirade on the downfall of the Simpsons using this exact point). The very best of both shows happened when they were character-driven. Now they come up with plots first and try to wedge the characters into them.

Goddamn, it could take me days to sort out all the problems I have with the Simpsons post-Season 8. People keep telling me that it's picked up a little since the movie came out, but I refuse to even try again because I know it's not really better. I heard nothing but good things about the movie too, but there's no way I'll ever be interested.

[Sam]

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT THE NASCAR EPISODE IS FUCKING HILARIOUS.

[Krythor]

I'm the same with The Simpsons and just like South Park I've seen some decent ones recently. I actually saw one new Simpsons that I'd go as far as to say I loved (although I can't remember a single thing about it, so that could be called into question.)

The movie has mainly the good writers from the past and I'd describe it as decent. I'd also describe it as being slightly funnier than the best Pixar films.

[Krythor]

By the way, with people in the UK hating something then turning around and suddenly loving it: the same happened with Ali G. By the time he went to the States and got his HBO show, everyone I knew acted like they were above him. I tried and tried to convince everyone that the HBO show was amazing but it was out of fashion then.

Fast forward to the Borat movie...
