I'm up to episode 5 of the new season and I still don't really like it. I actually fast forwarded through some of it yesterday. I really don't buy Deb as the sassy swearing cop - everytime she throws in a fuck it sounds so forced and awkward.
Anyone watching Boardwalk Empire? I'm really enjoying it. I love Steve Buscemi. -------------------- Meow.

If you have a dark sense of humor, you'll probably enjoy the first season or two...personally I do think it just goes right to hell after that.

QUOTE(koffeewitch @ Oct 22 2010, 11:39 AM)  I got into the Dexter thing pretty big for awhile by grabbing entire seasons (from torrents) and watching them in long crazy marathon sessions (which was great, at first)... but I kinda lost interest/felt shit was really starting to go downhill for the series. (Also when you watch a series that way, any continuity errors that the writers might make are glaringly obvious...and continuity errors and plot holes drive me bucknutty). The Word around now is that the new season has suddenly picked back up again...what do you think? Is it worth it for me to catch up and start DLing the new shit? I got Season on from Netflix today. My sister won't shut up about it so I hope it delivers! |

Shit ketto, I think you're right...I just spent the day watching some of season 4 (I absolutely hated season 3). And so far, I like it a lot better than 3 (how could I not, right?)...but I don't know. It's still so very predictable and I'm only watching it because some stupid newspaper just bragged up season 5. I think you are probably a much more reliable source than said stupid newspaper, so I guess I'd better lower my season 5 expectations back down.

Koffee, I didn't watch season 3 (I attempted but it was soooooo awful) but i was strongly encouraged to watch season 4. I thought it was really good but now I've watched the first 2 episodes of season 5 and I'm really not impressed so far. I'm probably going to keep watching but I have a hard time getting into showtime shows. They really seem to jump the shark after 2 or 3 good seasons.

Besides Kurt, I really didn't much care for Glee last night. I thought all the other kids, especially Mercedes and Rachel, were incredibly selfish for railroading their beliefs on Kurt and his dad. It was insulting to atheists. I liked how Kurt and Sue never gave up their atheism, but the episode still came down on the side of religion.
I wish they'd write Rachel off that show. Give her a storyline where she hits it big and goes to perform on Broadway and never comes back. I really, really hate that character. -------------------- "After all those hours of concentrated effort, I come home pure as the driven snow." -Gidget

I feel like Glee redeemed itself last night after the mostly pointless Brittany episode. More Kurt, please!

How about The Office? I even like the show "Community" on NBC, it has good potential.

We all know how getting back to the school routine can be. Its much more than we plan sometimes. I actually work with Bounty and they created a really funny music video. Youve got to check it out and catch this premiere, or even share it with your friends - Bring It I wonder when the Bounty rappers will come out with their own album? LOL Has anyone seen this on TV yet?

GLEE re-ran its Lady Gaga ep the other night. I LOVE the dance to "Bad Romance." It makes me so happy I want to watch it over and over again. MY IPod is full of Glee songs. I think I am more about the music than I am about the story.

September 21st!!
 Makes sense about why it doesn't- TV shows don't always make it and truly, as popular as it is and the singing!!! and all, it's not the super best. But I so love it

I'm right there with you, sageykins. It has so, so many flaws, but I love it a (mostly) unironic way. Because they sing!
Do you know when it starts again? I think it doesn't have its own thread because TV-show-based threads don't tend to last long, so it's easier to discuss them all in here. -------------------- “Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.”

So I know that the writing isn't the best- but God do I love Glee. Is it the writing that's keeping it from having it's own thread??

i like your list star. i miss tv. i used to be a junky, but now my list has been wittled down because i'm working so much: madmen, true blood, rescue me and louie. and the occasional supernatural, if it's not a re-run. i watch usa shows too, because they rebroadcast the hell out of them: burn notice, royal pains, and the one about the thief.
i'm looking forward to no ordinary family. i love the superhero genre for tv, it has a lot of potential, but heroes kinda spoiled the soil for other shows to follow. it's a shame. i've been dying to see children's hospital on adult swim, but i always miss it. and, i am seriously, hopelessly addicted to naruto. i feel like such a uber dork for saying it, but i do love it. i used to snobbishly look down on naruto geeks, but the show is pretty amazing, and has a lot of depth. plus i respect any show where characters-- well loved ones are routinely killed off. s, at work said something about getting a 9 tailed fox tattoo, and i totally geeked out. yeah i knew it was a japanese thing before naruto, but it's also central to the whole story... {sigh} the look my bosses gave each other when i talked about naruto... l, i am chronically so uncool at work now. oh well. -------------------- "what a swell farewell party! we said goodbye to everything, including the lining in my stomach." - garvey, from the film, born bad "That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman.
