What Shows Are You Watching?

MonkFan4Life · 08-30-2010, 08:15 AM

Just started watching Border Wars. That show is sick, I have my own views on illigal immigration but man oh man these people are really going through alot to get here. National Geographic is a pretty good channel to have as a fall back. Switched between the Border Wars Marathon and the Man vs Food Marathon for about 3 hours.

This show was on for two years on NBC as original content. Despite the fact that it is probably the best drama on TV (acting wise) it has never gotten great ratings. Before the third season NBC signed a deal with DirectTV to basically bankroll the show and DirectTV gets first run rights. Seasons 3 and 4 ran in the fall on DirectTV then in the spring on NBC. Season 5 will do the same.

As for what happened with Coach Taylor I think you should simply catch season 3 on DVD and find out. Season 3 is a good season. Season 4 was better.

Just finished season 3. The next season is even better eh? Looking forward to it.

Yeah..other than the second season the other seasons are all fantastic.

No is it good?

I was meaning to bump this thread for The Event, I thought it was pretty good.

I can't wait for this!

Thought it was ok, nothing spectacular. But it's got Michael Chiklis and he's one of my favorites so I'll check it out for the time being.

Not sure I plan on watching The Event. Not too interested in committing to another Lost type show

Want to check out Blue Bloods, wanted to see LoneStar since it got such good reviews but it's already been cancelled

I watched it. I thought it was okay. For a TV show the special effects were pretty good and so far the cast seems pretty decent. Could be interesting for a season or two.

I'm also really enjoying Boardwalk Empire. It reminds me of Deadwood in terms of scope and range of characters. I like how they've sort of reversed roles in that Steve Buscemi is great as a likable bad guy whereas the federal agent Van Alden (can't think of the actor's name) is so creepy and intimidating.

Boardwalk Empire is pretty tight...also started watching the second season of Eastbound and Down, funniest show on TV, first season was a classic

Boardwalk Empire on HBO.
Not as great as Deadwood was but still a good show.

For comedy/incompetency I like to watch Whale Wars.

The first couple shows of the Event aren't bad, but I just get the feeling that it's going to take years of my life to figure out what the hells going on. I'm not ready to make that commitment.

I'm really liking The Event, but I'm with you. The first two shows are:

"18 years ago..." then,
"4 minutes ago..." then,
"6 months ago..." then,
"7 hours later..." then,

"18 years ago from this character's perspective..." then,
"7.9 seconds ago from this character's perspective..."

It's absolutely complicated so far, but I'm hoping once we get the back story it'll be a lot better.

Completely unrelated to TV, but I finally saw the clip from your signature and I can't get the auto-tune out of my head.

Run tell dat, homeboy!

I'm pretty far behind the times these days.

The I Like Turtles kid kills me every time so I'll definitely check that out when I get home.

If you haven't seen the tosh.0 episode with him on it, it's FREAKING HILARIOUS. Check out the web redemption...
