Re: TV Shows
Outside of Comedy Central, I rarely watch any shows (definitely not regularly). However, the end of the Sting-inspired SNL sketch on Saturday featured probably the best method of dragon-slaying in the history of US television... One of the rare moments I literally
-ed, even though I was at home alone...

Re: TV Shows
I am excited to see what will happen now with Volkoff's daughter (who's pretty darn cute, btw) taking over her father's empire. I think she'll get him out and hell will break loose all over again. And the thing with Chuck's sister and dad's computer. Wow, is she going to turn into a ninja or something? Maybe she'll get the intercept. Awesome is hilarious to watch. I think there is enough story there throughout to keep me more than interested. And as I said, I plain like watching those people.newarenanow wrote:That's the way I view it too. I think they have added a decent amount of story arcs and twists, and introduced new characters, bad guys, etc, and they also break up every few weeks having some outside mission from chasing down the main organizations and stuff.Sarcastic wrote:Well, I won't argue if some see it that way, but it really doesn't matter to me. That is one of the most likable and fun groups of people on TV and I think that is the most important part of the show and why people come back to it.
I personally think that a show like this can come up with many scenarios that it doesn't get too boring, so I wouldn't call it redundant. Same as it was with Stargate SG-1. Yeah, same thing over and over, but I think that show could have gone another 10 seasons. What is redundant anyway? If something works, I say keep going.

Re: TV Shows
Another problem with what happened is the dumb president's assumption that "this ends now" if he blows us all 3 buses, knowing well that there are others out there who are operating the damn portal. So what did he think that the others would... what? Commit suicide? I'd be worried they'd start blowing up cities.AlexPKeaton wrote:But this show has some terribly lazy writing at times. Like that scene with the Apache - an Apache can take out 3 buses without anyone on the bus knowing that the Apache is there. It is an attack helicopter FFS. Instead the show has it do some type of JU-87 esque dive bomb attack on one bus then circle around to hit the other bus to give people time to make phone calls and get away. This kind of lazy writing is what I hate about network shows.
Last night's episode.

Re: TV Shows
Downloading this now, also downloading the pilot for AMCs The Killing, will report later.Sarcastic wrote:Did anyone catch.......... what the hell it was called.
CHAOS. It was on CBS last Friday, the pilot episode.
My g/f and were getting ready to eat dinner and I just left CBS on. It said "pilot" episode so I said alright, let's give this 5 minutes. You know what? I think I kinda loved it. It's about a guy who joins the CIA. He has a hard boss and is put in a unit with 3 other guys who, well, you gotta see how they treat him. But it was funny. I mean, it was really funny in parts where I actually laughed. I recommend you guys check out the pilot.
*** Chaos was quite enjoyable, although since Tim Blake Nelson is in what is possibly my fav movie, I feel enclined to like what he does, that being said, the rest of the team has a lot to offer as well. On to The Killing!

Re: TV Shows
There are two new shows on this year that I'm absolutely in love with.
Raising Hope is awesome. One of the best comedies in a while IMO
Blue Bloods is really well written and Tom Sellack does a great job.

Re: TV Shows
Has anyone ever mentioned it here? Because the show is funny as hell. I haven't missed an episode yet. I was kind of almost giving up on it after the first few... just too many shows, etc... inconvenient... but I'm glad I stuck around because it has gotten only more stupid (in a good sense) and more funny. That granny with Alzheimer's is hilarious, isn't she? Last episode she thought the house was infested with Mongooses, so she started blasting things with a shotgun.BadHands71 wrote:Raising Hope is awesome. One of the best comedies in a while IMO

I like the concept, one long season about just one murder (at least thats wha I gathered). Seems like it has promise.tonysoprano wrote:The Killing was damn good, IMO. I'll defintiely watch again this week.

Re: TV Shows
watched this last night. It's pretty intense,dark and gritty. At first I had a hard time believing that trashball could even be a cop (the new guy coming in), but by the end I guess he grew on me. It's not a very likable show, that's not a bad thing, it's really well done, but I had a tough time watching it. Seems very authentic, I just kept thinking about what that would be like if it was my kid in that situation. I actually didn't sleep well after watching it.Chefpatrick871 wrote:I like the concept, one long season about just one murder (at least thats wha I gathered).
