I liked it the first time, then watched it again and was kind of 'meh'. I like the style of humor (the Jobs/Wozniak bit was funny though stereotypical) but the premise is kind of...predictable? Anyway, the pilot episode is usually not the best way to judge a tv show and I'll be tuning in this weekend so I guess they did their job with it.

as soon as it was over, my wife says well Erlich is going after the girl from the new company, but she's going to like the main guy...

IMO, Vice is one of the best programs on television. I just watched a crazy segment on Dagestan, where one Boston bombers lived for 6 months.

We need to talk more about Vikings in this thread. It is getting surprisingly more graphic/violent then I thought it would on the History channel. Although I thought the major scene of the last episode walked the line quite nicely. I remember reading about that specific uh...procedure???...and was curious what they would do on a channel like History. I squirmed a bit yet they didn't show a whole lot either.

I have seen so little of Archer this season. Any good?

Pretty good. Kenny Loggins makes an appearance.

Silicon Valley referenced the Mass Effect 3 ends. I cannot put into words how awesome that was!

Since we are cutting cable very soon the wife and I have been trying to exclusively use other forms of entertainment to get used to it. We were cruising Netflix and used the Get The Max feature. It lead us to a show called The Finder(?). Excellent premise. Probably the worst acted and executed show in TV history.

Mad Men started off slow, but got better. Since they are splitting this last season up with 7 this year and 7 next, things better start moving a little faster.

Person:

Amazing how much space one can free when we get access to our DVR (my wife's sister is away for spring break giving us access to our basement). We cleared 5 eps without having to watch any - all reruns of earlier 2013 episodes. So instead of 17 behind, we're only 12 behind and haven't missed any.

Castle:
Watched two from November - the doppelganger one and the baby one. I think we have two more on the DVR before one that was missed, then have the rest to current.

Surviving Jack:
Anyone watched this? We hadn't started it yet but had three eps on the DVR.

Suburgatory:
I forgot this was still on. Our DVR had accumulated 9 eps since the start of the season. Hadn't watched any yet.

Grey's:
Finally watched this week's Grey's. No real comments on it. Stuff happens but nothing really happened, if you know what I mean.

Chicago PD/Fire continue to be strong, though we've been watching those on Hulu on account of DVR space and conflicting times.

Oh...

Just watched the last episode last night. It's been great this season. And you are right, pretty violent. And yes, that procedure was crazy.

S1E2 of Turn was sufficiently good enough to add the series to my weekly watch list, especially with Justified finishing up. I'm actually surprised how fast Turn is moving given they should have plenty of time and material to work with. Hopefully they can get picked up for S2 and the pace can step down a notch.

Agree. I only watched the first half, but it is moving quickly. Not sure if they were worried they'd get the axe quickly. I hope it stays though. I think it can use some improving, but most new shows adjust and get better over time. I love this period of history and would love the show to stick. Like I said last week, it has a lot of promise.

Ok i definitely need to check that out. I was going to give it at least a 5 episode try anyway just because AMC, but i'm liking the reviews.

I liked Turn episode 2, but I'm having trouble keeping up with the Brits in wigs.

The guy who plays Robert the Bruce in Braveheart is the mercenary Robert Roberts.

You knew when he told his wife the shed was full of produce that will last through the spring, it was going to burn in the next scene. And, it did. Probably could've let us at least forget about the dialogue for a minute before doing the obvious.
Minor annoyance, I know.

Ha. I thought the same thing. And is one thing where I say they will tweek and get better as it goes on.

Yeah, they'll get their feet under them.

I noticed that Winds of War is on Netflix. Based on Herman Wouk's bestselling historical novel, it was a huge 15 hour miniseries in 1983. The book is excellent, and I remember my parents watching it. I probably borrowed the VHS from the library 20 years ago now.

I don't think the networks have the cojones to put on a massive miniseries like this anymore.

It's a little dated looking, but if you're ever out of something to watch...

Holy crap. I didn't realize King Horik on Vikings was the dad on Grounded for Life.

Wow, I remember watching that when I was a kid.
