Television General Discussion

I live in Canada, so I can’t get Hulu. I blame the CRTC.

Gotta hype people up to spend all their money right away, obviously.

Leverage was awesome again last night. Hilarious how calling Hardison had him first at poker game, then at a bar and then eventually being chased by a pack of dogs at a scrapyard. Can’t wait to see next week’s episode to see what they were up to.

Showtime uploaded a censored version of the House of Lies premiere episode…I like it so far.

The official episode will premier on Showtime on January 8th.

Thanks, but I’m not gonna check that out - gonna wait on the premiere. The trailers and previews are all hilarious though.

Watching Family Guy vol. 9. Pretty disappointing so far. I’ve loved all the seasons but this one feels like they’re trying to hard to be funny and its just not. There’s some good parts but overall its meh.

Anyone watch that show Southland? Any good?

Keeping up appearances -

Richard usually puts up with Hyacinth’s nonsense but not this episode. Keeping up appeances always reminds me of my grandma who also loved the show

Southland is good. Kinda reminds me of NYPD Blue but with an MA rating. I recommend it if you’re a Regina King fan.

I’m watching The Closer right now and it’s just…I don’t know. It’s not very funny (it’s got a few good laughs but mostly bland) and it’s more unbelievable than Monk if that’s possible. Difference is, Monk has that comedic angle with Monk’s character along with the chief of police and lieutenant that add to that angle. It’s so smh funny that you sort of don’t care about the dumb stuff (like how every criminal is the equalivalent of a Scooby Doo villian) and just focus on how Adrian solves the case.

Kyra Sedgwick, no offense to her, just doesn’t do much for this slow-paced police show. Brenda Johnson treats criminals and suspects like she’s a highschool teacher, yet even the grimiest offenders seem to be intimidated by her. I mean, Stabler, Malone, even Taylor are known to slam shit and get rough with suspects, and Horatio pretty much lets the suspect know he’s on to them. Johnson’s style of interrogation is timid and mild in comparsion, even when she’s raising her voice. She would make a great principle role in some high-school/college drama. Aside from that, she’s not addicting like Mariska Hargitay and her supporting crew don’t get enough screentime to keep the show interesting.

This is all in my opinion. If there’s something about that show that I’m missing (I’ll admit to not following it very closely), feel free to shed some light.

Did anyone else watch the disaster that is Work It? I’ll bet I was one of 10 people in the country watching that bullshit. Just from the commercials it looked terrible…so much so that I HAD to check it out of morbid curiosity. The premise: an unemployed married man dresses up as a woman just to get a job, then convinces his friend to do it too, so now they have to be a woman at work and keep up with the lies…hilarity (allegedly) ensues! This shit will get canceled SO fast… I’d probably bet money that it’s gone and forgotten before they even get to put 5 episodes on the air.

I’m always intrigued and oddly fascinated with stuff that is doomed to fail… which reminds me, I wonder how Reed Between The Lines is doing lately? I tried watching it again, and it’s like the television equivalent of a sleeping pill overdose. At least it has Tracee E. Ross’ ass, and the oldest daughter looks good if I recall.

I don’t understand how that Work It show made it through…it really looks like something that belongs in the 80’s.

Shameless US season 2 in 3 days!

It’s a rip off of Bosom Buddies, which was from the 80’s heh.

anyone watch Archer, season 3 is starting in a couple of weeks

Anyone who doesn’t watch Archer should be butt raped by a thousand southeast asian pirates. I don’t understand the hate the last few episodes got from some fans.

BTW bonus
speaking of asians and butts, google “Arley Elizabeth” and enjoy

liking for Arley Elizabeth, not for the butt rape. I was a bit annoyed at the way it ended, but the episode itself was very funny.

Just watched a few episodes of Person of Interest, I’m hooked.

Glad the shows are returning.

heh, I finally get to see it… a FIREFLY marathon is on Science Channel right now! I instantly took interest in this show once I found out that my beloved Morena Baccarin (*one of my Magnificent 5™) is on that show. The fact that she is on this show automatically makes it worth my time…anything else that happens to be good about it is just a bonus.

*yeahhhhh this girl is so legendary… now I’m not even sure which Morena I prefer… this one with the long hair, or the short-haired version from V. I’d literally kill for just one wild night with either one, really…eh, and who am I kidding with that? One night wouldn’t be enough when you’re speaking of a woman of that caliber. It’s not even fair to compare ordinary women to that.

ooh, Gina Torres is on this as well… she has some of the greatest DSLs of all time.

whoahhhhh that dude who played DR. GIGGLES just showed up!! Man, that’s out of left field… I know he’s not still Giggles, but I forever think of him as that character.

*ohhh there’s Morena again… her cleavage is on display and looking so ridiculously nice right now… goodness gracious…

Work It didn’t work…it got canceled after 2 showings.

i currently watch: Grimm, Supernatural, Once Upon A Time, Walking Dead, Kitchen Nightmares, Beyond Scared Straight, Hardcore Pawn

cant wait for American Horror Story season 2 and when Walking Dead comes back on.

i get to watch shit at work, so it definitely makes the day go by.
