Thread: teevee sucks

    Yes, yes they are.

    I was up to that point, too.

    Sheesh.

    I just watched the season finale for Brothers and Sisters for this past season. I knew what was coming, but the way they did it still threw me.

    I have a lot of stuff on my DVR I should try to watch in the next week or so.

    Auntie Beeb is broadcasting a thriller set on a deep diving science sub, called The Deep. The first episode is okay-ish, if somewhat ham-fisted (most teevee is), and the star cast is relatively good. If you think you'd like to read a Crichton novel set deep under the sea, you might like this show.
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    Who said Man Vs Food? That show is fucking brilliant!

    I don't know whether to feel insanely jealous, or really bad for that poor guy!

    It's weird, but watching someone trying to eat a 30 inch pizza is very appealing!


    Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend Community. It's written by some of the guys who wrote for Arrested Development, and it stars Chevy Chase, and one of the hot chicks from Mad Men, and it's truly hilarious. It has a similar style to Scrubs, but is far, FAR more clever.

    Season 1 just finished, I serously recommend watching it, you will love it.

    Yeah I caught an episode of Community the other day and I was laughing my arse off - Chevy Chase plays a gullible tool to perfection.

    I'm finally watching the second half of the first season of SG-U - this will be followed by watching (or fast forwarding through large parts of0 Friday Night Lights. I like the family/small town drama bits of the show. Pity they insist on centering it around stupid football.

    But anyway, I'm enjoying the second half more than the first, however...

    Did anyone watch the Syfy 4 hour movie dealie Riverworld? Saw the previews fastforwarding through commercials and it looked rather decent. So, Wraithy, should I?

    Yes. Then you can let me know if it'll be worth it for me to watch.

    Gawd, I managed to survive until episode 4 but I finally have to say:

    What utter, utter bullshit this series is.

    I mean, there's a guy whose loved one has gone missing during a submarine mssion. And then they let this very same man go onto the same mission into a submarine without having a psychologists thoroughly examine him?

    Because, this guy got issues which you see even before the mission starts!

    Gawd, what a load of crock. And now, at the end of episode 3 he's finally gone off the deep end which surprised no one - but still they try to reason with a mad man.

    I mean, the guy was to bring back an item for which he had 30 minutes time - and then this guy goes off and has a bloody sightseeing tour? After that incident I'd have locked him up and thrown away the key. And then he does it again!

    Geeze, if they let people like these on a submarine then it's no wonder the first one's gone missing.

    Honestly, I can't stand those TV shows anymore where everyone seems to have to be some kind of nutjob - even when the very job they're paid to do screams for stable characters! Unrealistic bullshit.

    I got into watching Bleach again, after skipping the massive amounts of filler.
    I enjoy blank walls.

    I am so far behind on Bleach. But I think my source may no longer be there....I too stopped at one of the filler eps.

    I'm about to start watching series 1 of 'The Big Bang Theory'. I watched a few episodes of series 2 and absolutely loved it - very funny.

    Mochrie and Sherwood are touring a two-man improv act right now, and they've got a night nearby late in the year. I'm debating trying to scrounge for tickets.
    Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"

    Quite jealous! I checked the show dates and either they aren't selling tickets for shows in my area yet, or they just aren't coming my way. Bits on YouTube looked funneh though.

    OMG Colin's hair!

    Not frontal, just his old saggy nasty white hairless wrinkled ass right before he gets in a bath with a naked young lady, holding her by the neck from behind, and slices her femoral artery and lets her bleed out all over him. Then he held up a mirror and watched her die in his arms. So romantic.

    I actually didn't much like the season of Dexter. To the point that I stopped watching near the end.

    Does anyone else find Two and a half men amusing? I get a lot of laughs out of this Charlie Sheen Mocumentary.

    I've never seen it - Charlie Sheen isn't nowhere near as hot as his papa, and I don't generally like comedies (yes, there are exceptions). I might try it if someone else says they like it.

    Anyway, I dug up the thread because I wanted to say...

    This weeks episode of Mad Men was brilliant.

    We're coming up on the new season for lots of stuff, hopefully the teevee recommending committee can make me a nice list of what I actually want to watch in a reasonable amount of time. I heard something about Maura Tierney having a new series, I'll watch that even if it is total shit (or at least I'll give it a try).

    I watch now and then, think it comes on right before Brandy's usual line up. Its pretty funny, especially the older episodes before they committed to making the kid dumb as a box of nails. The parade of hot women through the show's history is a nice plus
