Who's watching what on tv

[t8yman]

Can't help but think it

should have happened at the end of last season. I can see them writing a final season based on this recent development.

oh absolutely

debs is going to explain the "love" thing, and let it cloud her judgement once again, allowing dex to carry on doing his best. she loves a bad boy after all.

[minute5072]

Sure after the finale I read a few interviews which hinted at 2 more series...

[brighteyes]

Has anyone ever seen Mrs Brown's Boys? A colleague recommended it to me so I checked it out. There's not a minute goes by that I don't think about how bad it is. It's becoming an obsession - I just can't understand how it's so popular! Number one best-seller currently on Amazon > TV Comedies.

I feel like I'm going mad, but it must just be everyone else that is mad. Check out the Christmas Special on Boxing Day and let me know what you think... or check out some clips on Youtube. It's so shite, it makes me want to go on a killing spree.

Just watched Ben Elton:Laughing at the Eighties.

Made me all nostalgic, and reminded me of this (though they didn't show it).

The punchline is priceless.

I am familiar with it, I'm ashamed to say my inlaws think its hilarious, although they did have the common decency to admit the boxing day special was shite - and oh - how shit it was.

it seems to consist almost entirely of attempts to make the words "shoite" and "feck"/"fick" appear funny - entirely on their own. its like someone took a recipe for "the perfect sitcom" and ended up baking a huge steaming turd because they forgot to add "funny" prior to putting it in the oven.

Anyone else excited for Sherlock in 3 days?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Finally gotten around to watching Booth at the End. Can not believe how this has slipped under my radar. Work of simple genius.

Yes. Exactly. It's horrific. The sheer popularity of the show actually makes me wish the world would end.

[Wooderson]

Sherlock is wondrous telly. Hound of the Baskervilles next week!!

[lost]

Given up on Terra Nova, started watching American Horror story on FX which is rather good so far..

[feral chile]

I loved the first series of American Horror Story.

Managed to hat to the end of Terra Nova only to see they have managed to drag it out for a few more seasons. I was hoping at one time it was going along the lines of the 2000AD story Flesh. I like the idea of going back in time to harvest dinosaurs. Anyway I am also really enjoying American Horror Story.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Did anyone else catch the first episode of Public Enemies last night. I thought it was going really well until his final revelation.

[Kowalski]

Sherlock. Brilliant.

[sifi]

Wish Doctor Who was as good as Sherlock .....

[metallimuse]

Sherlock. Brilliant.

Loved it loved it loved!Although Russell Tovey's accent was appalling and really took me out of the story.Also loved seeing the guy from 'Threesome' as the guide to the moors,his accent was alot better lol.

Chuckled when Watson called Holmes ''Spock'' considering Cumberbatch has just been announced as playing a baddie in the next Star Trek film.

Sherlock. Outstanding stuff. Great performances all round.

[The Nal]

On behalf of the Irish people, Id like to apologise for the fact that Mrs Browns Boys is on BBC One later tonight.

[Gothenburg83]

Auction Hunters on Quest is good if there is fuck all else on tv!

[t8yman]

Finally finished Forbydelsen II (the killing 2, danish version) last night. fucking fantastic series.

[modey]

Just watched the first episode of alcatraz : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1728102/ , looks promising.

[t8yman]

I disagree modey, its got all the symptoms of a series they can run endlessly, never giving you any answers, fucking about, stringing it out. If it was a 1 series deal, then I would start watching it, but it suffers from the same thing that made lost so irritating to me - constantly inventing new mysteries, answering very little. that kind of writing frustrates me. Theres far too much I havent even started yet to get interested in that gubbins.

I still havent watched boardwalk empire, game of thrones, or the bluray I bought of the first series of downton

[Purple Monkey]

Breaking Bad for me is the perfect TV show. That could run forever but the structure is right. It never leaves you frustrated with its cliffhangers, it leaves you satisfied and still wanting more.

Loved every minute of it so far. Purely because it's entirely character-based.

absolutely, I was actually quite interested in the trailer for Alcatraz, right up until the bit where "all the convicts disappeared in 1961, now they are back" bit. drama is drama, and scifi is scifi. the minute they try to mix the 2, and the scifi is ONLY there to allow them to fuck about with the plot willy nilly, they lose me.

im not a scifi fan, but I do understand the draw of true scifi, using it as a tool to confuse things is the cheapest form of telly making.

Finally working my way through Eastbound and Down. Finished the first season and just started the second. What an absolutely brilliant piece of television.

Should be easily finished in time for the new series starting on HBO in 4 weeks
