Well we watched Arrested Development, and what a comedy that is, it boggles my mind that shows like this and Family Guy got cancelled. Dexter Season 1 was up there with 24 and The Wire for most quickly to be addicted to. Cant start season 2 until the DVD releases so IM at a loss right now.
Arrested Development is awesome, and improves with repeated viewing - it's very very layered and detailed. How famous is David Cross over there? He's hardly known in the UK, but his acting and stand-up are both top notch.
For the CSI fans...or not cause this is funny as shit, like the show or not! [youtube]mznsEcZlM2I[/youtube]
So yeah, Heroes season 3 got off to a good start. I really like the show, but dont love it, which may have to do with the poor second season. Siler is a great villain, miss the Haitian, could do without the Hispanic chick, and really like Hiro.
It's all about Hayden Panettiere. Also, the guy who played Marlo Stanfield in The Wire was in episode 2 of the new season of Heroes, I'm guessing he'll playing a fairly big part.
Same here I'm really looking forward to the new season of the office. Wonder what will happen between Angela and Andy Does anybody watch californication? It's can be a pretty addicting show. Along with Dexter and Weeds (show kind of went downhill in my opinion after season 2).
Really excited about the Office, my favorite comedy. Dexter is the most addicted to a show I have been since I started watching 24 a couple of years ago. Weeds is next on the list, since we just finished 6 feet under, and my Brother in law swears by Californication, though I have never seen anything of it.
Well tomorrow is the season premier of the office and I'm hoping that they answer all those burnings questions that were left due to the season 4 finale. Dexter can be really addicting I remember watching the last 4 episodes of season 2 straight and then left wanting more. I actually found the leaked episode for season 3 online if you're interested. I think showtime leaks them on purpose to build some hype. They also leaked the first 2 episodes of the new califonication season. I've never seen 6 feet under, but i'll check it out. Californication is a really good show, there's only one season so far with new episodes coming out this month so it wont be to hard to catch up.
I watched The Office, all 4 seasons in 3 weeks to catch up to this new season. It's so clever and funny. I love it.
Dexter doesn't grab me at all. I love The US Office, although the first series was terrible - it tried to link too much to the original, which was never gonna work. Now it's a clearly separate entity, it's brilliant. My recent bedtime viewing has been re-watching Seinfeld from the very start... I have about 10 episodes left to go!
For Lovers of the Office, Arrested Development, please. Six Feet Under took a few episodes but really liked it from there. Goota say I love House too.
Ha, that's weird. I've been on the same boat. It never got any form of decent exposure here, which is odd given that HBO's stuff tends to either have huge commercial (Sopranos) or cult (Oz) followings in the UK & Ireland. I actually downloaded it around mid July as well and finished it up a few weeks ago... and can honestly say it is probably the best TV show I have ever seen, as good as perfect in every way. Also, this is far-and-away the best few minutes of television ever: [youtube]KQbsnSVM1zM[/youtube] I remember Nice recommending it to me a while back, too - good call! Did anybody else find it odd though, that it is pretty much the most impossible show to find streaming online... anywhere?
S'all in the game. I got into The Wire via Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe which should also be back soon.
Damn straight. The Wire is awesome. I own all but the second season on DVD. There were always a few storylines I never liked too much, but the central core of characters was amazing. THAT conversation Avon and Stringer have on the roof is absolutely amazing.
Everything about The Wire is brilliant. From the chess game discussion about pawns to Omar's tie in court, to Bunk and Jimmy's bullet behind the fridge, to Bubbles's attempts to get clean, to the kids' front and follow, to The Greek and his whole setup, to Michael's rise ("exactly like you taught me - get there early"), to Cool Lester Smooth's miniatures, to my personal favourite quote from the whole damn thing - "My wife, the way she deals with shit sometimes, you would think a lesser man, a cruder man, a man less sensitive to the charms and values of women...not me, but a man like that...he just might just call her a ********."
I like the theories out there on the kids being younger versions of the diffrent adult characters, like Bubbles and Dook
Yeah it makes a good ending, and completely links in with the theme of 'the more things change the more they stay the same'. Each of the various institutions has to remain in place in order for the others to have a purpose. Very Nineteen Eighty-Four.
