Spindles Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't have TV at home (haven't in about a decade) but download shows from the internet instead. I am a big fan of Dr Who, currently enjoying Falling skies, Breaking bad and Weeds (the only 3 shows I currently watch). I wish there was more good sci-fi about.

When Jokers Attack Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Has any one else been watching The Newsroom? Recording it all on Sky but still not started it, How is it? Loving Breaking Bad season 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus Gwertigan Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Recording it all on Sky but still not started it, How is it? Loving Breaking Bad season 5. I really love it. So many plot lines each week and Jeff Daniels is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcademicPistol Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have recently started getting into The Walking Dead and I am catching up on that, really good stuff. On the comedy side of things Louie is currently half way though season 3 and for me it's the best American comedy series in recent memory.

sifi Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Loving the newsroom too. It's a bit preachy, but there are some great moments there. Saving Breaking Bad for a while. Think I'll hold fire for the first part of this season then watch it all at once. There's a few good American comedies out there. I like Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Wilfred, Curb your Enthusiasm and Parks and Rec, although mainly for Ron Swanson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some them are ok but I would say Louie is on a par with Curb Your Enthusiasm for my personal tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Should I give modern family another go? tried it and just thought they'd ripped off Malcolm in the Middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Good to have some recommendations, Big bang theory is a real winner for me (Sheldon is my hero) and the walking dead was also great (although the series are a little short) and I love that you can be watching an episode and just get sideswiped by a plot turn you would never have guessed. Now I think about it, Fringe is also a favourite here,if only for Walter Bishop. Going to have a bath and watch a show, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Currently watching Dollhouse, great show but I do wonder why in every episode Eliza Dushku is meant to be playing a completely different character yet still acts like Eliza Duhku in every episode. Since I can't watch the rest of the boxet without my girlfriend I've started watching Adam West's Batman fucking brilliant, it's insane that they can't sort out releasing a boxset. They would have made millions if they had timed it with a release of any of the Batman movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how the first episode features Batman going to a club, pulling, getting wasted and then attempting to drink-drive and yelling at the police "I have to go after Robin!"

I love the Adam West cameos on Family Guy. Some are laugh out loud funny. I am surprised he can keep a straight face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I watched the 1st few episodes of Battlestar Galactica last night and it's surprisingly really good. When it came out a few years ago I had pretty much wrote it off as a crappy sci-fi franchise revive like Stargate SGI or Star Trek Enterprise but I'd put it closer to shows like The Wire where it's very dark and focuses more on internal politics than anything else.

Rufus Gwertigan Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Sky had a new comedy on last night called Gates. I have found most of the Sky stuff to be a little hit or miss but I enjoyed this. Maybe I am just getting conservative in my humour but there were some laugh out loud moments.

swede Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Newest episode of Breaking Bad was absolutely incredible! Just getting through season 2 on my lunch breaks at work. Love everthing about the show and seeing the odd spoiler here and there I think the slow burn of the earlier seasons is great as I cant wait to see Walts transformation from where I am now , episode 8, upto how is mindset and personality is in season 5. Amazing show. Edited August 16, 2012 by swede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
