Television Shows (NEW ARCHER IN TWO :EEKS)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I tried looking for a general thread to discuss t.v. shows. No luck.

I just finished watching the 20th anniversary of COPS.

This woman called the COPS on another woman because she sold her some bad drugs. woman 2 declined that saying she does not sell drugs, she's a prostitute.

Anyway, reason why I mentioning this, the clip was so old the 2nd woman was wearing a "Martin" T-shirt.

Ahh, Fox's glory days.

Then I proceeded to watch a few episodes of Martin.



Edit: prob still wont work.

[Tadao]

I have a Dead Milkmen shirt I still wear. It doesn't magically place me in 1985. lolrofljkjk

Martin sucks BTW

[Wild Wallace]

If Martin sucks, the Fresh Prince BLOWS.

[Tadao]

No argument there.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You should have bought Dead Milkman shirt with the cow using the time machine then. I liked the first few seasons of Martin. I think Martin Lawrence was paid per character that he played.

I finally saw the beginning of the 1st episode of Mission Hill the other day. :)

[Tadao]

Mission Hill is good, but like anything that is replayed too many times, I have grown to hate it. I'm watching Lost for the first time in my life. My mom already blurted out a part I haven't seen yet.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I haven't seen Lost yet but everyone I know talk about it and ruin it for me. I'm trying to get through Arrested Development season 2 now. Season 3 was great.

[Sam]

THE ISLAND IS ALIVE

[Tadao]

You dick

[Esuohlim]

:lol

I started Heroes a few days ago and so far it's been gay as hell so I'll probably stop.

[Wild Wallace]

Heroes will continue to be gay more and more as you watch. :lol

And Arrested Development Season 2 is like the best TV season ever.

[Esuohlim]

I don't know man I might have to keep watching because I have a thing for girls with short dark hair :(

[Pub Lover]

She dies, pretty early on. So early, that I didn't know who the hell that was for a good five seconds, which is forever in nerd time.

[Esuohlim]

Good enough reason to quit watching then :( :(

I'm thinking about starting on Weeds, the Wire, maybe Entourage, and maybe 24. Should I bother?

Right now I'm binging on X-Files again :eek

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Almost through season 1 of Arrested Developement. I need to change it up a bit so I'm watching the 3 stooges shorts.

[Kitsa]

Punk Rock Girl :(

[Schimid]

I watched the first season of Heroes and that was it...season 2 was laaame.

Dexter is back, that's always good. And I'm in love with Flapjack.

[Guitar Woman]

WANNA HAVE SOME ADVENTURES!?

I'm waiting diligently for Lucky Star to get to American television, because I am a disgusting deviant.

[Cliff Steele]

i've only watched weeds out of all of those milhouse, but it is worth watching. Very uneven writing, (the subplots for her brother in law are especially terrible, and the uppity fat black woman is annoying), but the overall storyline is good and it's pretty funny. I would say it's about half as good as Arrested Development

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I got home from a date last night at 6am, turn on the t.v. and watched the "Mr. Men" show. WOW is that fucked up. Just a bunch of stereotypes dumbed down for kids. Also...hilarious though.

[Dimnos]

Has anyone been watching that new show Fringe? I have only seen the first 2 episodes, that might be all that is out so far, and I thought they were pretty good.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Picked up Get Smart season 1 last night. Watched the pilot episode. Great stuff! I had a huge crush on Barbara Feldon growing up. Watching it again now reminds me it's still there. <3

[Tadao]

I have season 1 too. She is hawt in the pilot.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah she is:wank

[BurntToShreds]

Chowder and Flapjack are my favorite shows on TV right now, if only because they perfectly contrast each other. One is a bright, colorful world with equally colorful characters. The other, however, is dank and gloomy, with at least one moment in every episode that will probably give you nightmares. And you definitely know that a Cthulhu episode is right around the corner...

[Tadao]

with at least one moment in every episode that will probably give you nightmares.

:sleep

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Young Ones - The Bomb, awesome episode.

[Tadao]

For pure cheese Sanctuary is fun, I
ll probably burn out on it after this first opening episode though. Too much back story.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My girl is trying to get me to watch Criminal Minds. I watched the season premier and wow is the acting trash. I don't mind watching it just for Joe Mantegna though.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

In Living Color - A bunch of Fire Marshal Bill clips.

"Let me show ya something!"

[WhiteRat]

I can't stop watching the Travel Channel. I think I watch it as much as I do ESPN.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I can't stop watching the Travel Channel. I think I watch it as much as I do ESPN.



Hahahaha. I watch travel channel for that drunk blonde who goes everywhere.

You know who I'm talking about.

[Tadao]

Yeah, she's fucking funny.

[WhiteRat]

Hahahaha. I watch travel channel for that drunk blonde who goes everywhere.

You know who I'm talking about.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/JerkDouglas/samantha_brown.jpg

Yup, she's got a nice ass.

Bizarre foods is a great show as well as the "hip" food guy Anthony Bordain.

[glowbelly]

breaking bad
pushing daisies

that is all

[Grislygus]

I loathe Zimmern or whatever his name is

My brother watches him all the goddamned time and the fat fuck literally creams himself every time he shovels something into his gaping maw

I do love when he just shoves his hand into something that a world-class chef is cooking and helps himself, oblivious to the expertly contained lethal rage simmering beside him, though

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Method and Red...stupid fox network

[Tadao]

Is that show still playing? Really?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

online

[bigtimecow]

i only really watch the office and house

oh and diners drive ins and dives :love

[pac-man]

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives pisses me off because none of the places are close to me.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Young person's guide to history part 1. I thought this was hilarious. Can't wait for part 2.

[Tadao]

I didn't really like it, but who cares. Gald someone does. I'm looking forward to Xtacles.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I just saw an advertisement for that last night. So I take it they didn't put Frisky Dingo into season 3 mode? Aren't the Xtacles Malter clones?

[Tadao]

Since when did Frisky Dingo actually follow a real story line. I'm sure everything will still all be the same plots and all. I don't know how to really explain FD to anyone who hasn't followed it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I started watching American Dad a few months back. I enjoy it thoroughly.

On a side note I'm sick of that Axe: Dark Temptation commercial. Enough already.

[bigtimecow]

what are your thoughts on family guy? because that's what you're watching -flashbacks

[ItalianStereotype]

Mad Men! Great show. But then I also think that three women don't have one brain between them.

I also really like Penn and Teller's Bullshit!

[liquidstatik]

..

[pac-man]

I started watching American Dad a few months back. I enjoy it thoroughly.

what are your thoughts on family guy? because that's what you're watching -flashbacks


It's not for everyone, but American Dad! is not Family Guy. If they were animated in differing styles the differences would be more pronounced. Both are good on their own merits, and I hope Fox (and viewers) learned a lesson from dismissing Futurama.

[Zomboid]

Might not be family guy, but it still sucks.

[Krythor]

Right now I'm binging on X-Files again :eek

I had my x-files binge a few months ago. I got up to season seven when I realised how terrible it had become. Seasons 3 and 4 are fantastic though. I also had a greater appreciation for the movie actually watching it in context.

The new movie was not too good.

[Tadao]

It's not for everyone, but American Dad! is not Family Guy. If they were animated in differing styles the differences would be more pronounced. Both are good on their own merits, and I hope Fox (and viewers) learned a lesson from dismissing Futurama.

Wtf? They are the same thing. Both are good, but are the same. Don't be gay.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

American Dad now is what Family Guy was seasons 1-3 which was Simpsons seasons 5-8. End point.

I mainly like American Dad because I miss Paul Lynde and Roger is the closest thing there is right now.

[Tadao]

I hate the alien, I also hate Stewie.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You'll learn to love.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Alfred Hitchcock hour

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

A-Team

[Esuohlim]

http://www.surfthechannel.com is going to ruin my life :(

I just started Weeds, and it's the funniest damn show I've seen in a while.

[ZeldaQueen]

I used to watch that 2006 Flash Gordon series until it was canceled. >:

I also watch Doctor Who, but that's not showing in America now. So I'm not watching much on tv. :(

[MetalMilitia]

Right now I'm watching a lot of Mythbusters. It's kind of lame in parts and I skip some myths completely but still an interesting watch most of the time.

[ZeldaQueen]

My Physics teacher showed us a Mythbusters episode for amusement once. In it, they tried to prove that a vacumn cleaner could explode or something. It then snowballed into them trying to make a vacumn cleaner into a rocket booster.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Starting watching Get Smart again. Watching the episode where Jaime is introduced.

Also Dog the Bounty Hunter needs to not be on t.v anymore. He's slightly tollerable but his wife makes me cringe with a syringe.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Was watching "Fresh prince of Bel-Air" the other day and they set Geoffrey up for a date. I lol'ed when G was singing the H.M.S. Pintafore buttercup tune while getting ready.

[moonlightkisu]

let's see:

house M.D., charmed, sailormoon, forensic files, south park, fresh prince of bel-air, masterminds, tru.tv, ID channel, quantum leap, most evil, cold case files, 20/20, american justice, deranged, wicked attraction, the soup, best week ever, cold blood

[executioneer]

i'm so glad you wrote that extra small it makes it easier to ignore

can you do the same thing with your signature etc

[MetalMilitia]

I've started watching Mad Men which is apparently good - though I've yet to see much evidence of this. The first episode wasn't bad but it didn't inspire me to continue watching.

[bigtimecow]

american dad is family guy without flashbacks. seriously. they even set up for flashbacks but then don't do them, probably because the writers were like FUCK THIS SHOW IS EXACTLY THE SAME WE JUST HAVE AN ALIEN INSTEAD OF A DOG BECAUSE BOTH SHOWS ARE ABOUT A DAD AND HIS FAMILY HMMM FUCK WE SUCK

family guy got SO old SO fast

[Tadao]

Oh god, here we go again. King of the Hill fucking sucks infected rhinoceros clits.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

From season 4 onward I think Seth McFarlane lost creative control with his Family Guy It seems like FOX was like "Okay, we'll bring your show back because it makes us money. Oh, by the way. It's OUR show now and we're going to drop references to classic shows and start making 80's references every 3 minutes. Also Family Guy will now be unfunny. Also we're going to change the character types around. New Chris will be old Stewie. New Peter will be old Chris and New Stewie will be just more like a regular kid." and Seth was like "Ooooookay. Well I'm fine with that I guess. Except I get to make a new show and have the characters the way I want them to be. It's going to be like Family Guy + Paul Lynde." and FOX was like "Deal, except you have to have Paul Lynde be an alien and then also have a talking fish for some reason too."

That's my take on it at least.

[Tadao]

Or Seth made a bet that people will watch anything.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Touche

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My roommate just picked up "Always sunny in Philadelphia" on dvd. Watched a few episodes of it. I've heard a lot of great things about this show but didn't think it was going to be as funny as it turned out.

[bigtimecow]

im gonna mention HOME MOVIES again because i have the biggest boner for it ever now

just finished season one; SO GLAD squigglevision is gone after this. but it was still funny. and glad paula's voice actor changed. some of the special features are lol but the interviews are long as fuck. and i'm getting sick and tired of "fake" interviews, like when the person getting asked questions gives long, obviously fake answers to be funny. most of the time, it's rather annoying, mainly because I ACTUALYL WANT TO HEAR REAL ANSWERS AND INTERESTING DIALOGUE, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

[Zomboid]

I LOVES ME SOME KING OF THE HILL!

[LordSappington]

A-Team
OH GOD WHAT CHANNEL DO THEY SHOW IT ON?
Also, I love King of the Hill. I hate the episodes that focus on Peggy, because I hate her with a burning passion. but it's pretty damn funny, considering it's actually almost exactly like a LOT of fellow Texans I know.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

LS: http://www.nbc.com/

They stream most of the episodes which is awesome.

[LordSappington]

Ah, many thanks! I've been having trouble finding some high quality A-Team.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I was watching an episode the other day where Murdock was taking care of a small plant in the van. B.A. got so mad and he was like "Quit it with that plant Murdock or I'll crush the life out of it, turn it into dust and then watch it blow away like a tumble weed!"

:lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

It's always sunny in Philadelphia - Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead.

Watched this on saturday night with my roommate. I cried/laughed so hard I almost fell off my couch when the gang were arguing with the mother's lawyer.

[Tadao]

I just got The Young Ones Season 1 and 2. At one point in life I have been each of the characters. Yes, even Rick.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

How much were they?

[Tadao]

I paid full price ;)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Tool Academy which seems like a "Charm School" for guys on VH1. It's interesting just seeing all these fools in one space at a time when there's not techno playing, strobe lights flashing and no draft beer to be seen.

[Dimnos]

Why is it called Tool Academy? Because they teach these fags how to use tools or because they are a bunch of tools?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

They are a bunch of tools(One guy calls himself Matsuflex). I wish the premise was that they just beat these guys with tools.

It's too bad they didn't finish their degrees and Clown College.

[MetalMilitia]

I watched all of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently. It's not the greatest show ever but still pretty good. I think its main problem is that all the characters is completely unlikeable and you really don't want to "spend time with them" as film critics say.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I would spend time with them. They make me and my friends seem not so corrupt.

[kahljorn]

Tool Academy which seems like a "Charm School" for guys on VH1.I was watching a clip of this with my girlfriend. Its like a show for cheating husbands and they parade them around in front of a bunch of women while their wives/girlfriends SECRETLY watch them and i dunno the winner is supposed to be who changes the most or something. ANYWAY we were watching this clip and the guys are doing a "fashion show" which is really more like a male stripper show, they walk around showing off their bodies and all the women in the audience go OOOLLALALA and some of the guys try to flirt with the ladies while their girlfriends secretely watch...

then this one guy comes out with a basketball and all the ladies are like ooolala. Then he's dribbling the ball and he loses control of the ball and one of the girls in the audience gets hit IN THE FACE WITH THE BALL

LOL!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol

I forgot about the basketball to the face.

[kahljorn]

haha what a hunk huh i bet all the ladies were like "HEY STUD HIT ME IN THE FACE WITH YOUR BALL NEXT YOU CAN DRIBBLE ALL OVER MY FACE" and his girlfriend probably got all jealous, "HE NEVER HITS ME IN THE FACE WITH HIS BALL LIKE THAT"

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Holy shit, Always sunny in Philadelphia just beat out Reno 911 for me.

Everyone knows the iconic line from Die Hard where Bruce Willis yells "Yippie Kay Yay Motherfucker!" What's hilarious is watching Die Hard on network t.v. like USA or TNT where they change the line to "Yippie Kay Yay Mother Falcon!"

So anytime me or one of my friends are pissed in front of kids or at work we exclaim "Mother Falcon!" instead.

Just watched an episode of Always sunny where the gang gets taken hostage. Later in the episode Frank pulls out a gun and yells "Yippie Kay Yay Mother Falcon!"

:lol:lol:lol:lol

[Dimnos]

Nice! :lol I must have missed that one.

[moonlightkisu]

i'm so glad you wrote that extra small it makes it easier to ignore

can you do the same thing with your signature etc

I actually copied and pasted it from my profile and was too lazy to edit the formatting, lol.

Oh sure, the signature's already done.

[MetalMilitia]

Woah nice signature you dreadful homo.

[Krythor]

I just got into The Wire and finished season two yesterday. I am loving it. I'm sure there have been threads on it here before but I'm trying to frantically finish the whole series before I go out of my way to read anything on it.

[LittleDollClaudia]

I remember that episode of COPS! She actually expected the officer to go and get her drug money back from the dealer.

Here's some of the crap I watch that dominates my idiot box:

Law and Order:CI ( only ones with Goren)
AB FAB ( Patsy and Eddy have no redeeming qualities, which is damn funny to me)
Robot Chicken (Seth Green ruining all of my childhood memories, way to go!)
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (BBCAmerica version, the American ones suck. Nothing like a Scottish boy yelling at you to stop pulling your plonker in the kitchen)
Match Game on Game Show Network (70's with Gene Rayburn-guy reminds me of Dracula)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've been watching a lot of 3 Stooges shorts lately. Finished watching the one where they become plumbers to escape from the cops. Hilarity ensues, especially when they realize the pipes are broke because they have wiring in them so they flooded the electrical pipes. The cooks face is priceless when he turns on the stove and water shoots out. Then he leaves the room and comes back in a rain coat.

:lol

:knucklehead

[moonlightkisu]

Woah nice signature you dreadful homo.

Thanks!

Since i'm a woman though, i'm not sure if I qualify as a homosexual .. (I thought my name was quite obviously female, I guess not lolz)

but since it doesn't match my avatar, I figured i'd change it anyway.

lmao .. this is a movies & television thread though, isn't it?

[MetalMilitia]

We have someone on here called Guitar Woman and even he's a dude.

[Kitsa]

allegedly

[moonlightkisu]

We have someone on here called Guitar Woman and even he's a dude.

Well, that's why it's generally a good idea to know someone's actual gender before assuming for yourself, especially on the internetz

[MetalMilitia]

Regardless - I was calling you a homo because you had a gay anime signature. The fact that you still probably like anime despite removing the gay signature (and have a gay anime username) means you're still a homo. A gay homo.

" allegedly"

He wears fingerless gloves, smokes clove cigarettes and looks kind of like spock had both his parents been Human. Or does he...?

[moonlightkisu]

Regardless - I was calling you a homo because you had a gay anime signature. The fact that you still probably like anime despite removing the gay signature (and have a gay anime username) means you're still a homo. A gay homo.

Nope, you failed already. Don't try any harder.

"Gay Homo", .. really, you mean as opposed to straight homos?

oh, the fail wrapped up with the redundancy, it's amazing!

[MetalMilitia]

AH! She's tying me up in logic! My one weakness!

I've been blinded by science!

What a fag.

[Fathom Zero]

:lol

[moonlightkisu]

AH! She's tying me up in logic! My one weakness!

I've been blinded by science!

What a fag.

lmao. Did your parents not buy you a pony as a small child, or are you usually this bored?

(FYI: Calling someone a "fag" is only funny the first couple of times, if you're a 5th grader, that is.)

How old are you, exactly?

[Esuohlim]

TAKE IT TO ANOTHER THREAD, LADIES

[MetalMilitia]

Why don't you move it to another thread, Milhouse?

Willie would've done it. He would've split the fuck out of this thread.

lmao. Did your parents not buy you a pony as a small child, or are you usually this bored?

(FYI: Calling someone a "fag" is only funny the first couple of times, if you're a 5th grader, that is.)

How old are you, exactly?

Who says I'm bored? Just because I don't have a pony? I'd like to see your pony?! OH WAIT YOU DON'T HAVE ONE :lol:lol:lol

Anyway, yes I'm in the 5th grade (whatever age that is), what of it? Does that make you feel better about being lame on the internet? Does it? No. Or maybe. I don't know.

[Zhukov]

Wait, you seriously can't call a female homo? I didn't know this.

[MetalMilitia]

I think you can really call anyone a homo if they're an animeophile.

[Kitsa]

I thought homosexual referred to anyone who preferred the same sex. Not colloquially, maybe, but in the broadest general terms.

For example, Iceland's brand-new premier is homosexual. This might make her a Serious Homo with Serious Homo Problems.

[Zhukov]

That's what I thought.

Also, lol.

[moonlightkisu]

I originally posted a list of my favorite shows (http://i-mockery.com/forum/showpost.php?p=604351&postcount=65) in the topic "favorite shows". I think that's how it's generally supposed to work on most forums.

Then, some bored 5th grader who has an icon of a cat wearing sunglasses started calling me a "homo" because of my "homo sig".

Why did I recieve a infraction, again? for responding to nonsensical posts that have nothing to do with the original topic? I was originally on topic before he started his "homo" tirade.

I don't hijack threads on any forum (I am a part of many, and I recently just joined here). I make posts relative to the topics -- and obviously, any posts after that are going to be responded to. If I was actually a "thread hijacker", that would mean that I came here to cause trouble, which I did not. Someone feeling the need to call others "homo" and de-rail the topic though, is.

Anyway, yes I'm in the 5th grade (whatever age that is), what of it? Does that make you feel better about being lame on the internet? Does it? No. Or maybe. I don't know.

LMAO! could have guessed as much. 5th graders are the only ones who seem to enjoy using the word "homo" as if it were going out of style. And, I was originally ON TOPIC unlike you, yet I recieve an "infraction" because some 5th grader picked up the coolest new phrase and just can't stop using it. It's an overused word, try learning some new ones, and stop trying so hard.

The word "homo" is mainly only used towards homosexual males. And, it usually only makes sense when the person is actually a homosexual. Using it as an catch all-insult for anyone you come across, doesn't really make as much sense when the person is actually straight.

"Homo" is also the preffered word of choice for teenage retards yelling on xbox live while playing halo.

I suppose you can call a female a "homo", but then again it makes more sense if said female is actually homosexual/lesbian/bi what have you. It loses all of it's meaning otherwise. If you call everyone a "homo" a "fag" and "gay", then what do you call actual gay people?

I think you can really call anyone a homo if they're an animeophile.

Or, if you're a bored 5th grader and using the word "homo", over and over and over again. You know what they say, homophobes are usually latent homosexuals themselves. If you're trapped in the closet, try finding the doorknob. It's not my fault that you're infatuated with gays.

Oh, I lol. But I suppose I can't expect much here, since these are the "I-mockery" forums, after all. Too bad the forums aren't actually as cool as the main site. That would rock.

[Tadao]

INFRACTION!

[Esuohlim]

I like to give new people infractions so I can get them all worked up

And then I can give them more infractions

[Fathom Zero]

Why don't you move it to another thread, Milhouse?

There is no more Mock Wars. :(

[Esuohlim]

Actually I just pop in and do the mod thing once in a while to make it look like that I actually discourage threads becoming off topic :eek

[Esuohlim]

Which I do >:

[moonlightkisu]

Why is it that every fucking aspie on the internet joins this forum?

i only do that to threads i LIKE though, idc if this thread gets shitted up

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Always hatin on my threads.

[executioneer]

it was ok when it started :(

[Tadao]

Everything on tv is gay right now. This is much better.

[Zhukov]

I've really been getting into Harry Hill's TV Burp these past few months. I seem to laugh hysterically at UK soap operas anyway, so this show makes me faint with joy.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Waiting for new Xavier to start airing. The Cancer episode of Superjail was pretty funny.

[toolz88]

I have to agree with you on Superjail that show rules but I have yet to get into Xavier but i'm just getting into Tim and Eric awesome show and Tom goes to the mayor

[executioneer]

punctuate

[Tadao]

die

[executioneer]

not necessarily in that order, though

[Dimnos]

I have to agree with you on Superjail that show rules but I have yet to get into Xavier but i'm just getting into sucking dick

fixed.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol

I still don't like Tom Goes to the Mayor but I can tolerate it now after watching T&E. Looking forward to season 2 of Whitest Kids U Know to come out on DVD.

Was watching Da Ali G Show extras and I forgot about the short film SPYZ on it. Where his character still looks exactly the same except he's a spy.

The line that cracks me up is when someone asks him who he is and he's like "The name is James Bond,.... James Bond." Classic.

[Tadao]

I have just now gotten used to Tom goes to the Mayor.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Always sunny in Philadelphia. Where the gang tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles and the entire McPoyle clan comes out of a winnebago. This old haggard looking mother-fucker McPoyle comes out and Charlie is like

"Oh, of course you're here. Right now....in the world."

[Babs]

I'm actually watching It's Always Sunny when they make the Jihad video to get rid of Jew that works next to them. The video itself in general is the best part and the hammer totally adds to atmosphere of seriousness.

[Babs]

Alot of shows are pretty horrible now a days but remember, there's always UCB to turn too. Only if there was a season 3 out.... hmppphhh :\

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Get Smart, finishing up season one. Ted Knight is guest starring in this episode.....awesome!

[Tadao]

I never finished season 1. I should watch the 3rd disc.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just finished the 3rd disc the other day. I have a few more episodes till the two parter where they're on the boat trying to solve a murder.

[Esuohlim]

I just finished all of Weeds. Kevin Nealon :loveemoticon

I need to find a new show now. A couple of my friends recommended Six Feet Under, which I might try. Is it any good?

[Sam]

Kevin Nealon was my favorite character on Weeds too. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Try Californication. I've seen a few episodes of it and I liked it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Get Smart: The episode with Harry Who and The Craw.

I watched an episode of Chasers War on Everything yesterday and laughed pretty hard.

[TheBigMan045]

Just an episode? watch a whole season my friend has both seasons one and two on DVD bloody funny shit. Two and a half men isn't bad when you're rat faced with mates

[executioneer]

yes it is

[pac-man]

He wasn't talking about the show

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just an episode? watch a whole season my friend has both seasons one and two on DVD bloody funny shit. Two and a half men isn't bad when you're rat faced with mates

I think they just released it in the u.s. I know it's been around for a while but it was my first intake of it. It's enough to warrant me watching more.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just got season 2 of Get Smart. Watched the first two episodes. On sale at Best Buy for $19.99.

[Tadao]

Is it really? Cause I will never go through Time Lifes web page again.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

yeah, totally worth going to best buy for. I was going to go through timelife for the whole series because they had the whole thing about a year before retail stores had it.

I was shopping. Picked it up and was like I gotta hurry home and tell Tadao about the great deal.

[Tadao]

Time Life scammed me for an extra 40 bucks via a coupon scam that automatically took it out of my account. There is a class action lawsuit about it right now. Fuckers.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just got season 1 of Taxi on DVD. I don't understand why it costs more than season 2 :(

I tried finding a good Danny Devito shirt but they only have a mediocre one from Taxi that's 3/4 sleeve ringer.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Casablanca episode of Get Smart. I don't like Barbara Feldon with blond hair at all.

Wow, and they have a Hitler coocoo clock in Hoo Done it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Couldn't remember Gabe Kaplans name from "Welcome Back, Kotter". Looked it up on IMDB and I noticed they're planning a remake of it in 2012. Will the sweathogs bring the apocalypse???

[Tadao]

A poor mans Groucho Marx.

[Ant10708]

Anyone watch Lost season finale last night?

[MetalMilitia]

Shouldn't think so.

[Esuohlim]

I did >:

Because the show is good >:

[Pub Lover]

Good my arse.

[Esuohlim]

If you can name me another intelligent sci-fi show with fully-fleshed out characters, intricate intertwining plots, and careful enough to avoid all continuity errors and plot holes (even when time-travel is involved), then I'll gladly watch that instead.

Also no contrived and often inaccurate technobabble.

Also no gay Farscape muppets >:

[Pub Lover]

No plot holes in lost? Holy shit they must go to town with the gaffer tape after season two. >:

Dude, British? Total gaysplosion.

[Esuohlim]

No plot holes in lost? Holy shit they must go to town with the gaffer tape after season two. >:

You stopped after season 2? Ever since the show got a set end date it has really captured its focus and is seamlessly tying everything up. Plus they spent the majority of this past season explaining the events of the 2nd season anyway.

[Pub Lover]

Oh. I did not know that they had actually gone to town with the gaffer tape. Sorry, my mistake.

I... I'll have a go at watching it again?

Because I love you, Tom.

[Esuohlim]

Like you haven't been watching it religiously all this time anyway, Jaaaaaaaarv

[MetalMilitia]

Lost is probably my least favourite TV show because of the amount of time people spend discussing it as if it actually has a point. Each episode has about 3 sub-plots that ultimately go nowhere for the sole purpose of making people say "oooooohhhhh, this is so confusing! Where will this crazy roller-coaster ride of a TV show go next?!".

The thing is I'm not convinced it's going anywhere - it's just a series of unrelated "spooky" events (that are only "spooky" because of the discordant cello music they play in the background) that they later link though some tenuous encounter or lingering shot at the end of an episode.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I just started watching Lost in season five and I really like it. I don't know if I'll bother going back to watch the first four seasons though. A lot of people I know who have been watching it since it started complain about it being confusing but I find it rather predictable.

[Esuohlim]

Every TV show ultimately has no point, and every TV finale is disappointing.

I watched through all of Six Feet Under over the course of the last couple weeks and it had probably the best finale I've ever seen. Although it was still kind of a "that's it?" moment.

[MarioRPG]

I watched through all of Six Feet Under over the course of the last couple weeks and it had probably the best finale I've ever seen. Although it was still kind of a "that's it?" moment.

I've actually just started watching that, I'm wrapping up the first season.

[Esuohlim]

I read a lot of opinions that the show goes downhill after the third season, but I thought it got better.

[b_squared]

Nobody here mentioned watching South Park. It's one of my favorites.

[executioneer]

south park hasn't been funny in a while though :(

Firefly

[Esuohlim]

battlestar galactica >:

Actually I've noted this one already and I'm waiting until it's all out on DVD before I start so I don't have to wait for anything. I'm really looking forward to it too. :(

Firefly

Seen it and I agree, but the whole getting cancelled thing kind of took a lot of the wind out of it :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Agreed. The movie Serenity was pretty good but I'd would have rather seen Firefly get picked up by Sci-Fi or something.

stupid FOX :(

The first few seasons were all about getting to know the characters and their unique histories. I never watched a show where you get to see the different backgrounds of characters before they met. And how can your opinion on a the quality of a show be affected by fans who discuss it. Thats the fun of a show with unanswered questions and since your not a fan of Lost i don't know how you would even get involved in a discussion on it. And I'm pretty sure most shows, especially science fiction shows, have a die hard fan base that love discussing unimportant things about the fictional world so you must be seeking out these Lost discussions or are just bitter you never started to watch and enjoy a great show.

[Dimnos]

I thought people didnt like Lost because of all the dropped off plot lines and go no where BS they used as filler.

[Esuohlim]

Yeah but that's what we're saying. The people who say stuff like that haven't been watching it lately. Seemingly dropped off plot lines are being readdressed and answered now. The show has had a set end date for a while now so it's no longer meandering (which it admittedly was for a bit, according to writers).

[Dimnos]

I might have to pick it back up then.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm thinking about going to watch seasons 1-4 of Lost but I have to finish watching season 1 of Taxi first.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I saw an advertisement for a new show starring Daniel Tosh called Tosh 4.0 or something like that. I think Tosh is pretty funny doing standup because he's such a good jerk but the premise of the new show is that he goes online and finds things that are funny. I'm pretty sure Attack of the Show already does that but the guy on that isn't so much of a jerk as he is annoying. Maybe it will work out......it's on comedy central :(

[captain516]

Anybody remember On The Lot? Whatever happened to it?

[Tadao]

I don't but I sure miss Viva la Variety.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I might start staying home on friday nights to watch t.v. There was an hour of "The State" on, followed by Stella and then an hour of Wonder Showzen. I feel like it was just on to promote Michael & Michael but hopefully it'll be a staple of friday night programming.

[Kitsa]

I'm irritated with MTV2/Time-Warner because their lineup always fucks up my DVR settings. I have it set to record WonderShowzen and Beavis and Butthead, but the title on the guide is never the actual show. I can have 5 or 6 WonderShowzens on there and it's Rob and Big or something stupid like that. It's only MTV2 that does it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I did notice that. I turned on the state and it was playing young ones. Oh, there was also an hour of young ones on too. :)

[Dimnos]

I'm irritated with MTV2/Time-Warner...

I thought this was a fact of life. Like breathing air or something.

[Tadao]

I'm watching a show called Urban Legends. It's pretty cool. They present you with 3 stories, only one of them is true, and the don't tell you which one till the end of the show. they have a mini legend before the commercial breaks too. There are people on camera testifying that the story is true and happened to them, so they got actors for at least 2 of the stories to tell them.

[Dimnos]

Wasnt there a Ripleys Believe it or not show that did something very similar to that?

[Dimnos]

Never mind. This is what I was thinking of.

[elx]

Bones and Dexter are the only shows currently being aired that are worth watching

House used to be cool too, unfortunately it's deteriorated beyond recognition; now it focuses more on innercast drama than the actual cases. it's no better than any of the other crappy medical primetimes like Grey's Anatomy. such a waste :(

[Dimnos]

If you think House is anything like Greys Anatomy your are more mentally challenged that I feared. :\

[Sam]

THE GIRL IN BONES GIVES ME A BONE. ;)

[Esuohlim]

What about Booth played by David BONERanez (lol)

[Krythor]

Did you ever start watching The Wire Milhouse? It is my favourite show!

[Babs]

The Office and Tim and Eric: Awesome Shows Great Job are the only shows worth watching. Maybe the Mighty Boosh as well but that's about as close as it gets to anything being watchable.

[Esuohlim]

Did you ever start watching The Wire Milhouse? It is my favourite show!

Yes! I started about a week ago and I'm only about seven or eight episodes in, but I'm past the point where I'm merely trying to keep track of characters. D'Angelo's chess lesson from early on is my favorite scene so far, and it love how it parallels the events in the show. It's been pretty brilliant so far, and I hear that it only gets better. :eek

I like most of the characters, especially Bunk and Freamon. McNulty and Omar are ok. Herc is obnoxious.

The Office and Tim and Eric: Awesome Shows Great Job are the only shows worth watching. Maybe the Mighty Boosh as well but that's about as close as it gets to anything being watchable.

You're a fucking idiot. Shut up.

[Babs]

Go suck on Jack Bauers dick and get off to NCIS some more you lonely piece of shit.

[Krythor]

I don't think Milhouse was suggesting that 24 and NCIS were fantastic alternatives to the shows you mentioned.

By the way, did you know that The Beatles are the only band worth listening to? Everything else is just, well... it's just garbage!

Yeah, The Wire does get a lot better. Each season has a different theme and tone; it's still impossible for me to decide which is my favourite out of 2, 3 and 4. 5 is a bit silly but it's still great. You'll also be surprised how you start to love characters you hate and vice versa, and the cast of characters by the end is HUGE.

[Tadao]

Babs should not be allowed to use Kim's picture as an avatar.

[Krythor]

Oh yeah, also Milhouse, never, ever, search for Wire videos on youtube; the suggested videos box will be your undoing.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I saw the first episode of Michael and Michael have issues. It was kinda funny, hopefully it continues to get better.

[Dimnos]

I don't think Milhouse was suggesting that 24 and NCIS were fantastic alternatives to the shows you mentioned.


While both of those shows are shit they are in FACT fantastic alternatives to the shows Babs mentioned.

[Krythor]

I like Tim and Eric and The Office (I haven't seen the american version, I for some reason just assumed he meant the British one) so, whatever. I really don't like the Mighty Boosh though, at all. The moon parts especially make me cringe.

[Dimnos]

If you are going to watch Tim and Eric you might as well go to a gay bar and let some perv in his late 40s slip you a mickey.

[Krythor]

Or laugh.

[executioneer]

the first season of T&E was great, but the humor's been going downhill lately i think

[Esuohlim]

I like The Office and Tim & Eric can be pretty funny, but calling them the only shows "even close to being watchable" ranks up there with the stupidest things I've ever seen posted here.

And I've read my share of Lenor posts.

[Krythor]

I liked michael and michael have issues too, by the way, but always feel with those guy's shows that in every area apart from the jokes they can be pretty lazy. Both this and Stella have aesthetic issues that work for the Stella Shorts where the slap dash way they're put together helps the comedy, but not for 20 minute sitcoms. I thought the relationship between the sketch show and their universe's reality was unclear, and the sketch show lacked character. I mean, in a show like Larry Sanders you got an impression of what the show within the show meant to that world.

It's only the first episode so I shouldn't complain. It was very very funny, which is all that really matters to me personally, but that's not all that matters to most people and it's easy to see why a show like this would get cancelled early on, which frustrates me.

[Ant10708]

i've only watched weeds out of all of those milhouse, but it is worth watching. Very uneven writing, (the subplots for her brother in law are especially terrible, and the uppity fat black woman is annoying), but the overall storyline is good and it's pretty funny. I would say it's about half as good as Arrested Developmentthe two shows have nothing in common and shouldn't be compared

[stevetothepast]

The only tv show that is worth watching these days is Antiques Roadshow

[Dimnos]

Histories Mysteries.

[darkvare]

i like dexter and breaking bad the thrid season was fucking awesome (speaking of dexter) and i like watching tv shows with no story cause if i miss an episode i can still follow it

Naw, take 'em out.

I just finished the first season of the Wire and I can't wait to start the second. I almost want to rewatch the first episode and see how different it is now that I know everybody.

[Aimless]

I am completely in love with the wire. Bubbles, Omar and Dukie are my favorites.

Anyone ever watch Locked up abroad?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just reading about it, it sounds ridiculous. I might start watching or dvr'ing it.

[Dimnos]

I dvr it every week. Just watched the one from this week last night. Man the UN sucks. Why would anyone work for those corn holes? :lol

[Kitsa]

I liked Locked Up Abroad when it was about stuff that wasn't the featured person's fault, like kidnappings and such. Now it just seems like a procession of fucknuts who don't realize that duct-taping heroin to yourself, trying to smuggle it onto a plane, is probably a great way to get in trouble in a third-world country.

And then it's all, "Wah! Wah! I can't go to jail, I'm an American!"

Did nobody read/see Midnight Express?

[Dimnos]

I liked Locked Up Abroad when it was about stuff that wasn't the featured person's fault, like kidnappings and such.

Yeah those are the best ones. This seasons opener was a good one. It was about two people who went to Peru or something. The girl knew she was smuggling back drugs but the guy she brought with her had no idea. He thought they were just on a vacation. They got busted and she went to a nice looking friendly womens jail while he went to a nasty hell whole where they got marched around but naked and beaten every day. I felt so bad for that dude. There was another one where it was just a dumb ass trying to smuggle drugs but he was given so many signs that it wasnt to to turn out good and had so many opportunities to just bail but didnt that it was still good.

[Dimnos]

But no I have never seen that movie. Is it good?

[Kitsa]

It's a classic.

I recommend both book and movie, because some details were fudged in the movie and it really painted the Turkish people in a worse light than they deserved.

It'd be enough to persuade you that trying to smuggle drugs is a dipshit idea, anyway.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

oh, lol, I thought you meant the movie with Tom Hanks.

[Kitsa]

Nope, this one.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077928/

Billy Hayes is an interesting guy. A Turkish reporter tracked him down in Cannes a few years back and got a good interview (it's not in Turkish, although the first few sentences are).

Farscape is being re-released on DVD (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Farscape-The-Complete-Series/12357) in November

I've never seen this show because the DVDs have been long out of print and only available for 150 bucks a season online, and now I can finally check it out since I've heard it's an amazing show which appeals to gay sci-fi fans like myself.

Has anyone else seen it? I know it's where Pub Lover's old "LIAR" avatar originated.

[MetalMilitia]

I used to watch it on TV when I was 15-16 and I remember it being pretty good. No idea how badly it's aged though.

It was awesome. The premise was original, the characters were real, they were funny, they develop and the ending was UNJUSTIFIABLE. SciFi cancelled it prior to the last season, so they had to "wrap it up" with a miniseries that forced the writers to tie up all the loose ends in 4 hours. They sort of succeeded. :(

Awesome news, Milhouse.

EDIT - Now I'm not sure if SciFi was the network that cancelled the show - I seem to remember it originally was aired on another network. Can someone help me out here?

[Tadao]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farscape

Looks like SciFi pulled the plug a whole season early. That's strange. Never seen it before, I should rent the dvds.

I just finished watching Season 2 of Breaking BAd....WOW! as good or better than SiX feet under in my opinion.
