if you like Breaking Bad but can't get through every single x-files episode, try a Vince Gilligan sampler platter of all the episodes he wrote. His are among the best

If one were to watch only the Vince Gilligan and Darin Morgan episodes of the x-files, one would see 98% of the best episodes of the x-files.

downton abbey
i don't want to like this show as much as i do

[tauboo]

until this thread, the only opinions of Downton Abbey i'd come across was two old ladies on a bus.. they said it's not very accurate, but still good. then one said something about putting a tin of plum tomatoes in stew.. whatever. might give it a go. hard to get past the assumption that it's shit though.

[disparaissant]

i have a couple friends who recommended it. it's pretty good. i'm kind of a sucker for "posh rich people react to the events of the times" as a genre, and i'm also a huge fan of "oiy, we're workin' class we are and gosh these rich twats sure are a bother" and it has both in absolute droves.

watched series 1 of downton abbey. was fun but its not 'the wire'. way too much of people walking in on other people talking about them. whilst watching i couldnt help thinking it was the sort of thing my mom would watch on a sunday night.

watched 2 episodes of boss. interested to see more but not gripped.

also watching cheers as well. into season 4 now. coach's death was not handled well at all. he was my favourite character and he disappears then he's back in an intro and gone again then finally they announce he died two months ago. i know its tough when an actor dies but why didnt they just say he died immediately so we could mourn the characetr and the actor at the same time. the episode where he has disappeared is really hard to watch, must have been hell to film. looking forward to diane leaving but i think we may have already seen the best episodes. woody is a poor coach replacement.


i recently saw portlandia season 1 too which I watched in one hungover sitting and thought was brilliant. highly recomended for SNL and sketch comedy fans

[disparaissant]

I just finished watching all 3 series of Arrested Development. While in denial that this brilliance was over, I decided to watch the last day of filming on location, found in the season 3 extras. Got to the part where Will Arnett officially shot his last scene and was choking up as he thanked everyone. I teared up. :'(

Who is the cunt who decides to cancel these shows?? Kill them.

[usagi]

it's coming back

[chax]

it's like buffy on crack if anyone is into that

Just watched most of the first season of Portlandia on Netflix on Netflix's suggestion. Funny.

[Luke Fucking Hazard]

The IT Crowd, i just discovered it in January and have been laughing my ass off. it's rather brilliantly written, too.

just recently started 30 Rock from the beginning. when i heard about the show, i started late !

Louie is fucking amazing. Netflix only has a handful, i don't even know if it's still going on, but i love C.K. so hard.

also, every once in a while i'll turn on some Mitchell & Webb, but i'm not crazy about it.

oh, what they showed of Portlandia on Netflix was awesome ! i'd love to see more.

Arrested Development, started that one from the beginning. so glad that i'm finally able to experience this show all the way through. it's not something you can just catch an episode of every once in a while, like Always Sunny, which is always funny.

lol

wtf is this?

[eugene]

i'm also watching arrested development, it's fun but this jewishy ironycore gets a bit tiring i think, it's got nothing on louie's or tim and eric's sheer brilliance.

[verticalhold]

wow, Todd Margaret got really good all of a sudden

[yek]

i just finished watching r j berger. it's a shame they cancelled it

[KY]

so i'm going to post a list of shows. some i've just started watching, others i've just finished, some haven't been on the air for a while, others just started. i don't have a tv, but some of the stuff i watch at my ex's place (to varying degrees of complacency)

community
parks and recreation
grimm
are you afraid of the dark
sherlock
glee (again, that's one of the ex's choices)
new girl (also at the ex's, although the show isn't nearly as bad as i thought it'd be, they just failed with the zooey-centric marketing)
uhh old simpsons episodes

fuck maybe i don't really watch any tv...uh er i started watching goosebumps again?
