Who's watching what on tv

[eFestivals]

yesterday I was watching mostly repeats. Even the news was a repeat from 10 years ago.

The new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm is over.

The last two episodes were utter genius. The last one in particular, the Michael J Fox one, had me on the floor laughing at one stage.

As did "Yari's Team Talk" from the 2nd last episode. (sorry just wanted to try some new smileys)

I've yet to watch the last two episodes of Curb. I will be rectifying this in approx. 1m 12s.

It's been a great season thus far no doubt.

Arrested Development. New season.

Thought Dexter was a huge step up from season 5 too.

Good start to the series for Dexter

Looking forward to seeing more of the Hanks/Olmos pair

I thought dexter was good, but the exposition was painful. and its far too early to decide wether its gonna be any good. Lumen could turn up and spoil it at any moment. The ex prom queen's bazookas were a welcome addition!

I tried watching the 1st episode of Twin Peeks last night and I don't get it. I found the acting flat and the mystery boring and I really can't see why it's so highly regarded. Has anyone who has seen say if it improves or not as it goes along?

Its classic David Lynch. the acting is supposed to feel a little awkward, the characters are a a real joy as they unfold before you. its very complex, very dark, and when you fall in love with it, its very funny. I would definitely stick with it. you are bound to feel a little out of your depth at first. have patience. and just go with the flow.

New episode of Boardwalk Empire was pretty good.

[eFestivals]

did anyone see 'Trollied' which was on Sky One recently?

Was it any good?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Trollied was Ok. A couple of funny characters but the jokes seemed to get a bit repetative each week. Still worth a look see.

I thought it was terrible, looked good from the trailers but wasn't..very dissapointed

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Fresh Meat on 4. Utter shite. From the writers of Peep Show and was expecting more.

[Purple Monkey]

Holy shit - this looks brilliant! Anyone seen any episodes? It's up to episode 4 at the mo.

[sifi]

Yeah, I've watched the first three.

I'll probably watch the fourth.

[t8yman]

I'm grabbing them, but we actually have a lot to watch at the moment. might reserve judgement on it for now. still fighting my urge to pick breaking bad back up.

Seen all of them so far - and liked the first two - it's going a bit downhill at the moment - silly ex-love interest, and teen romance stories, kids making dopey decisions, but there's enough else going on for me to persist at least until Walking Dead returns.

The most interesting hidden thread about 'timeline exploitation' has not really been developed yet though, nor has the 'rebel' group - any outpost civilisation has to have one these days. Also the 'cannon fodder' soldiers are really dumb - they make the Red Shirts of Star Trek look positively bright.

I'm a bit confused about the nods to Japan throughout the episodes - such as Japanese doors, Pagodas, and vehicles - perhaps they helped pay for the series or the special effects.

[t8yman]

see it just sounds like a brainstorming mission in an office full of suits who all said "lost was popular, what made lost so popular? - go!"

and lost was shit., its exactly the same situation as that bollocks thing that C5 did last year with the whole planet stopping, cant remember what it was called, that was focus grouped bollocks too.

in fact, fuck it. i'm stopping the download. cos I know its gonna go that way.

[t8yman]

I'm now grabbing breaking bad season 3, which we should finish pretty quickly, as we have seen half of it, just not entirely sure where we stopped, then I'll grab season 4 in glorious HD. at least you know they arent relying on CGI dinosaurs and space ships that make you go woo, they actually have to hire proper actors and scriptwriters.

I've yet to watcch the final episode of Breaking Bad season 4, watched the penultimate episode the other day, and to be honest I didn't think it was up to the high water mark of the previous episodes. Hermanos and whatever the episode was called when they were in Mexico were utterly brilliant. I found the "cigarette" storyline a bit convuluted to be honest.

Looking foward to enjoying Boardwalk Empire starting up again, and I'm actually enjoying Hawaii Five 0, totally throwaway I know, but fun nonetheless. I'll probably let Dexter run for a few weeks before getting four or five of them in one go.

And I'm still loving Modern Family. Although 90% of that is for my unhealthy interest in Sofia Vergara (sp). Eye curumba etc.

Did anyone see Wilfred? Never saw the Australian original, but the remake has got some of the funniest things I've seen on telly in a while. What's not to love about a six foot tall talking bong-smoking dog?

I can never look at a toy giraffe in the same way again.
