Started solely as we have an official Movie Thread, that's all.

I'll post some thoughts on certain series later.

Sledge Hammer, 24, Dexter, Curb Your Enthusiasm, nuff said...cheers...

Take Me Out is great and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

otherwise

Norrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Big Bang Theory FTW

wanna take me outside? (see what I did there?)

I saw the pilot before it was aired, at the MGM Grand

IIRC I gave it a fairly good rating

It's not that exciting - but I like telly enough to think it was a good use of holiday time  :)

[ ] good use of time in Vegas. I hope you at least got a free dinner or something out of it?

Vouchers for the CBS shop :D

That's good, right?

Sons of anarchy

Being Human

Nothing else on TV is worth watching.

depends - $1 or $100?

CORRECTION:

"Sledge Hammer, 24, Dexter, Curb Your Enthusiasm, nuff said...cheers..."

 ;D Will have to check them two out Kev...have heard good things about Sons Of Anarchy...

24
Lost
QI
Heroes
Fringe
Being Human
True Blood
Harry Hill TV Burp
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Conchords

are some shows I like

why has no-one said Glee yet? Glee is the nuts!

when does SOA get good then? watched 3 eps so far, it's OK but not great,  not sure whether to bother anymore?

QFT

WHERE WAS JO THE GIANT THIS WEEK?

She never got picked last week yet had disappeared.

Stick with it ... it really is the best acted TV series I have ever seen ... and it just gets better and better.

true blood was a great concept/idea/whatever but was kinda zzzzzzzzzzzz when it had the potential to be brilliant. you like fringe? wow

Good point, some right uns on there are too fussy, lets be honest Rian should just keep her light on for anything, she'll never get picked anyway

V is meant to be back soon. Think it was called a mini series when it first came out ? mindblowing stuff loved it, was prob about 12 tho might not enjoy it as much this time round :(

I think Modern Family is pretty hilar.

V trailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/abc/vi2468479513/ (http://www.imdb.com/video/abc/vi2468479513/)

I was bought the V DVD's for Christmas - it was pretty good from a nostalgia point of view to watch them, but like with a lot of things: not as good as it seemed the first time round

Harry Hill's TV Burp
QI
South Park
WPT (mute button for Vince van Patten)
Masterchef
Neighbours

It's interesting watching the tactics of the 'less obviously attractive' girls. When a good looking guy comes down, they'll immediately turn their lights off, as they know they'll never get picked. But when one of the spanners come down, they keep theirs on as they think they'll stand a chance.

they have good looking blokes on this programme? I might have to give it another go.

In fairness, the main reasion I like Ture Blood is purely for the black girl, who is one of the funniest characters in TV (Obv I dont love the show that much because I dont know any of the characters names).

Fringe I am forced to watch by the missus but I like it,  more for the eccentric walter character than the show as a whole.

V was the nuts when it first came out. Sci Fi channel regularly repeat it.
I'll watch most sci fi stuff when im able to get hold of the tv remote.
Recently watched Prison break and the inbetweeners on boxset

Prison Break started out as a great show and turned into such a terrible joke...

The Vampire Diaries is a great show if your into vampires and stuff. Its a bit like Twilight except its not terrible. Its a lot better than True Blood imo. Boon from Lost is one of the 3 lead characters, hes awesome as a bad guy, much better than in Lost. Theres 2 vampire brothers who were turned 150 years ago, one is bad but the other is good and goes to high school trying to be normal. He falls in love with a mev bird (theres a few mev birds in it) and theres loads of side stuff integrating the past with the future as vampires and witches have always been prevalent in the town (some town members are aware of this but not many) and all the families have long histories. Theres been 14 episodes so far, still in Season 1, think its on ITV2 but i download it. Really good.

Wikipedia
The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural-fantasy horror television series developed by Kevin Williamson, based on the book series of the same name by L. J. Smith. The series follows the life of Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who falls in love with vampire brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). The series also focuses on the lives of Elena's friends and other inhabitants of the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. The series is a mix of teen drama and the supernatural.

When The Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW Television Network on September 10, 2009, it attracted the largest audience of any series since the network began in 2006.[1] Due to strong ratings, the series was given a full, 22-episode first season on October 21, 2009.[2] The show's first season finale will air on May 13, 2010.[3]

I gave you the benefit of this analysis Rich and decided to give it a gamble having never heard of it before, and it turns out you were right! I've just seen the 1st series so far but yea its pretty funny, good spot. Actually the last one i saw Danny DeVito makes an appearance in it, it was pretty com! I hope it stays good because theres like 50+ episodes of it!

Yeah I downloaded all 5 seasons on the strength of this thread and am glad I did, it's amazing. I watched all 5 seasons in under 2 weeks!

I've got a 300gb portable h/d that's full up with shows and need a bigger one. On this one I have

24
30 Rock
Burn Notice
Californication
Crash
Damages
Dexter
Entourage
Fringe
Heroes
High Stakes Poker
House MD
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Lie to Me
Lost

Sons of Anarchy

The Shield
The Vampire Diaries
The Wire

Reminded me I missed this season of Hustle so another 6 eps to watch wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

nice, but no Flash Forward?

did you miss the other million posts on the forum from people saying how good this is?

I'm surpised you stopped watching long enough to post, you could easily just sit through the lot in one go. it gets even better now devito's joined the gang

just caught up with skins and shameless... abs incred atm...

On the list to do, I'm waiting until season is done. I have a tendency to binge on shows and if I start now I'll be waiting around which pisses me off no end.

I've been on Vampire Diaries related tilt for ages, so where possible I try to wait it out and House is keeping me busy atm.

lol i must have done , i honestly never heard of it til i read this thread the other day

good list
add

Mad men
Curb your enthusiasm
Battlestar gallactica
Friday night lights
Breaking bad

I've watched Breaking Bad too, great show and back from next week I think.

I'll give the others a look too, not sure Battlestar is my cup of tea but I'll have a look. I'll d/l a couple eps of each once I'm done with Greg House

I know what you mean,i'am not a great sci-fi fan but Battlestar is really well done,good story,quite dark,great villians and some very nice looking ladies.Make sure you start with the mini series.

Friday night lights,you don't have to be a fan of american football to enjoy this series,starts off a little formulaic but well worth sticking with it,some great characters.

nice work. Like Gatso says, its even better in the later series. Don't miss an episode.

I'll give them a go for sure, can't knock until you try  :)

Another couple I missed off my list Underbelly and Brotherhood. Underbelly is 2 separate stories based over 2 seasons, based on actual events in Australia.  

Brotherhood is about two brothers, one is a politician and the other a criminal, it's no Sopranos but it was quite a decent watch.

apparently its not going to be shown here in the UK becuase its too explicit but Spartacus Blood n Sand is supposed to be good lots of well known actors

my mate has it and from what ive seen of it seems to be a mix of ROME , mixed with the artistic fighting of 300 and a porn movie

one clip that springs to mind is John Hannah and Lucy Lawless as 2 roman nobles having a chat whilst being "warmed up" by 2 hand maidens before going to the marital bed

Its online, ive seen it. The fact its John Hannah made me laugh lol

Just watched spartacus blood and sand all 8 eps. very good:)

Couldn't agree more. Got badgered into watching this and was really surprised how good it is once you get through the mini series and have now seen the whole series twice in a year.

series of skins tonight wee.....................

The next series of flashforward starts on Monday on Channel 5

Watched the catch up show tonight, still looks a good series,

may tune in

Breaking Bad season 3 premiere is up wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

http://eztv.it/ep/19330/breaking-bad-s03e01-hdtv-xvid-lol/ (http://eztv.it/ep/19330/breaking-bad-s03e01-hdtv-xvid-lol/)

was going to post this, i have a feeling this is going to be huge, producers say they have idea's as far as season 4.

yeah, theyre avail online too. Was a double episode out on Thurday i think it was. Really like this and latest episodes were pretty good.

Just caught up with Hbo's Eastbound And Down...crazy stuff!

"Get me paiiiiid Biatch"

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgDaVLCaBzQ

The new Tardis looks more like the Teletubbies House than a time machine

In bright orange and dayglow green and 3 times bigger than the old control room,
 its built on 2 floors with staircases to the centre.

Its a bit too much for my eyes, lets have the old tardis back.

OK,  what did you think of the New Doctor

The kissagram policewoman was good

today's good news is that filming of the new season of inbetweeners is underway. ep 1 was filmed yesterday

my mum is working on it and my dog is starring in it which I'm pretty pleased about. dog is in ep 1 and at least one more being filmed later in the month

Really enjoyed this, but thought the baseball bat attack was over the top to be honest.
I felt sick watching it, and for me to be concerned, jesus knows what normal people would have thought.

More importantly 5 pages in and no one has mentioned the greatest bit of telly ever, a great show, but this moment was the best ever.....

'Tomato - Ted - aubergine - your - potato - wife's - turnip - dead.'

Jonny Creek on Sun was pretty good...

watched ep1 of the pacific last night. gonna do the next 3 at some point today as it looks like it's gonna be pretty incred

Yeh also watched this on Sky Anytime. Was thinking "we won't know from the 1st episode if it's going to be good or not", i watched it and thought it was amazing.

Yep watched first 4 eps of the pacific and its awsome! a little slower pace than band of brothers but really interesting especially if you dont know much about the war around there.

Doctor Who Episode 2

An  idea stolen  from Discworld,   of a large Turtle carrying a world on its back

The clothes that dry clean themselves in minutes after being soaked in whale vomit

and the script reversed to give the companion the solution and the Doctor made to look like an idiot.

It would never had happened in a Russell T Davies script.

Far too many mistakes in this story BBC.

Hope the next episode is better

Above.

ps, thank god Russell T Davies has nothing more to do with this show :)

Saw the last 20 mins of Doctor Who yesterday, wow abs terrible!!!....that is all...

dr poo is not good. All hype.

thetank likes this  :)up

Underbelly is back. "The golden mile" first 2 episodes were on sunday night aussie time and are looking awesome. Sex, drugs, stabbings, corruption etc etc.

Woohoo.

Sandy

Survivor in USA is a good series this one, also The Apprentice (celeb) is worth watching.

Celeb apprentice is great although all the dissappearances are a pain. Bill Goldberg, Bret Michaels and Maria Kanellis look strong contenders.

Sandy

season 8 of The Apprentice was a great series , especially the Dennis Rodman episodes. Also very amusing when Annie Duke gets called a Nazi,a whore and compared to Hitler by Joan Rivers.

V meh
The Prisoner zzzzzzzz

glad I stuck with Sons of Anarchy, season 2 started last night, getting good now. tempted to watch it all on ninja. tonight

Just started watching 24 for 1st time from beginning, nearly upto end of Season 1.

My lifes incred.

Sick life,enjoy the next week.

...and remember this is from 2001, and you can see how influential it has been on the shows that followed...

The 200th episode of South Park seems to have been the cause of the failed attack in New York...abs unreal!!!!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG0quz3Gu8g

I've been told by a mate to watch:

1. Breaking Bad
2. Californication

this mate of mine loves Band of Brother, Entourage, Soprano's etc

are any of the two above worth it, I'm currently downloading seasons 1-3 of both programmes.

Breaking Bad is fantastic. Never seen Californication.

Californication is very enjoyable. Duchovny is v good and it's a smart script

The first few series must be 3-4 years old now

is it anything at all to do with the film Kalifornia he did?

Totally different m8, he plays a writer called Hank Moody. It's a really com show and as Tightend says very well written,  Hank is incred!

Not sure if this has been mentioned.

Outnumbered is easily the best show on BBC at the moment, its a few episodes in to its 3rd series and airs on thursdays

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outnumbered

You can probably find an episode or 2 on iplayer.

10/10

Doctor Who 2 part Finale

Puzzled confused, here's how I see it

In the future , the doctor will travel back into the past to the start of the universe the Big bang.

But as he is now locked in a box, he will not travel back in time and help start the big bang ,

 so as the big bang never happened,  slowly one by one the galaxies are fading away and the great silence  is left.

Unless the doctor can find away out of the box all creation will cease to exsist.

Only Amy will be able to change things, as she is outside and the tardis protects her from temporal changes.

But shes dead , so we are all stuffed,  lol

Where did it say about the big bang? As far as I know, the explosion thats put cracks in the galaxies is from the Tardis exploding (end of the first part). The only thing I can think of is Liz 13? coming to do something. She was in the first part briefly and never made an appearance at Stonehenge. Either that or Rory turns human. Pretty good Cliffhanger imho :)

I think we're to assume Amy is dead. She was shot at point blank range after all and looked pretty lifeless in the last shot of her.

Slight spoilers for next episode. Nothing too major that isn't revealed in the synopsis for it and might help with speculation about what will happen.. Don't scroll down if you don't want to know...































It's up to Amelia to save the day.

The last episode is called  " The Big bang"

An explosion that is so big , it cracks the fabric of time

Thats only my theory anyway, lol

WE shall see next saturday.

Wimbledon

Did anyone see the Roger federer's match today against Falla.

Roger was 2 sets down 4 games all  and serving to stay in the match

what a come back, great tennis as good as a final

The Wire - highest rated tv show/film on imdb. Best tv show ever made imo .

anybody excited by entourage's return on sunday? just wish it wasnt 30 mins per week....annoyance!!!

is in on UK tv on Sunday or US tv on sunday? what channel?

ive watched all 6 season but just downloaded them, so no idea what channel it was on previously

Nah its on in the US...I done same as you so pretty annoyed I'm gonna have to wait a week for each episode...will prob be able to download episodes a few hours after they've aired on HBO

I may wait and just do the lot in a day

i would have done this, but ive got my cousin and my mate into it, so both of them will be watching each episode at a time, and they are the type of wankers that will talk about it around me!

This for me,so good

BREAKING NEWS:

NEW BLOODY ENTOURAGE!!!!!! SEASON 7 EPISODE 1.... get on and enjoy!!!!

Lol did you see the nice little bit of (trying to be subtle but not really) product placement from stars and esfandiari???

haha yes enjoyed that a lot!

anybody know a torrent site I can get 2nd episode of season 7 Entourage? doesnt s4eem to be up anywhere ive looked so far

it hasn't aired yet. there's a 2 week gap between eps 1 and 2

doh!!! cheers

Only upto Season 6, ep 19 atm.

Been distracted by other things and watching World Cup and Tennis, time to put some work in and catch up i think!

just found this out today when I went onto Demonoid to download it!

Can't believe they would start Season 7 the have a 2 week gap right away!

Sick

Probs cos it was independence day

Americans! Pfft

This new sherlock holmes on BBC last night was amazing, really looking forward to the rest

+1

Think I favourite bit was his comment about the woman spending time on her knees lol

hahaha A+line, this guy would make an excellent Dr Who.

it's written by the same guy aswell

Aye was fun show, really clever and really close to the first book.

I've never read/watched any Sherlock before so it was completely new to me. It did though feel like a crime/drama hybrid of Doctor Who and House.

omg so tilting. The character isn't called Dr Who!

Thought Sherlock was superb on all counts.

Anyone know if they are repeating it? Id rather watch it on TV than the iPlayer, cant see anywhere on the site if they are

Agreed, thought the acting & script was spot on.

Was disappointed in the last Sherlock episode, dropped way below the first. Lacked a tight script, & reverted to cliche.

Karl Pilkington on Sky soon

September might just be the greatest month ever!!!!

Lots of shows back next month.....

Sons of Anarchy   6th
Vampire Diaries     8th
Ultimate Fighter   14th
It's Always Sunny 15th
...House MD        19th
30 Rock              22nd
Fringe                22nd
The Mentalist      22nd
The Office          22nd
Dexter               25th

House, 30 rock, The Office, Dexter... there goes all my free time :)

30 rock is probably my current fave show, I have gone from thinking Tina Fey is a bit rough to wanting to marry her

All of them for me, should help persuade me to keep up my sobriety....

I think the office might just be the greatest of all, shame Carell is leaving after this season  :'(





Haha I wasn't sure about her at first but she gained appeal the more of the show I watched

When is the Inbetweeners back I thought it was Sept ffs

Can't wait for Dexter and +1 to Tina Fey being incred

Californacation was meant to be Sept too, but they have pushed it back till 2011 !!!! WTF Showtime???

Has anyone seen a programme called 'Mongrels' on BBC Three?

An adult puppet comedy about five urban animals who hang out together? its mental!

BBC Iplayer have season 1 episodes 1-7 right now.

give this a shout if your non PC, and like off the wall Dark Humour.

can anyone recommend any sites where I can watch US shows online?

already been using TV-links and megaupload

Shows how long it is since I streamed, just went to check ninjavideo and it's gone lol

And I have just watched the entire Office Season 6 in one day. Didn't even feel like a waste, I can safely say there has never been a bad episode (Jim and Pam started to get nauseating but they are back on track).

Yeah it just never fails to crack me up, there are so many great characters it's incred!!

Dwight is always amazing  :D

Dwight K Schrute is by far the best TV character  to ever be created

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poDLjwSmaW0

not necessarily my fave character but the dynamic between him and Jim is brilliant, just like it was between tim and gareth

The best thing about season 6 (and the end of 5) is Erin.

Not a Chance!

Hank Moody smashes all before him!


also got round to starting Breaking Bad last night, look class so far

actually george costanza is the greatest tv character and its not even close:

http://media.gunaxin.com/top-ten-george-costanza-moments/20588

Just watched episode 6 season 7 of Entourage and this show always delivers. Highly recommend catching up all 6 seasons and jumping onboard the entourage train. Everymans dream. Its how I imagine Flushy and the shrewdies are.

Ari Gold - Legend

Just spent the last couple of weeks watching all of Curb your enthusiasm,it was pretty pretty pretty pretty good.

Going to check out Seinfeld now as never watched it.

Curb is brilliant, couldn't get into Seinfeld though...the laugh track didnt help.

Its a shame you have done them in the wrong order, Larry David is like a crankier ruder version of George, saying the things you wanted George to say. I worry that George may seem a bit too silly and cute when you watch him second. Be interested in what you think.

But you are gonna love it, stick with it for the first couple of series, they get much much better and plant the seeds for future series. Seinfeld may be the best sitcom off all time.

I've watched the first series and thought it was ok,will stick with it though as I wasn't that keen on Curb your enthusiasm at first.

Yep, they are both the same in that regard, very slow burners. Once you are a few series in you understand the dynamic, realise that something huge and silly is going to happen from something very trivial, then part of the fun is the anticipation of what silly thing is gonna happen.

Once you get to the 'Opposite' or maybe the 'NBC Pilot' you will be hooked.

Watched it on Monday, I thought Entourage had lost it's touch as the first 2 or 3 weren't that funny, but the last couple have been good, I thought Episode 5 when Ari start cracking up about Lizzie was Ari at his best!

Breaking Bad is really good, different from something id normally watch, but really good.

Walt is class, hank is a good support charactor......Heisenburg is the nuts! His hat is amazing!

don't sound like you've watched that much yet. you still have saul, mike, the cousins and my avatar to look forward to?

 

Great new show on BBC2, first British show ive enjoyed in years...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKON3jMHy0Y

Gave vexed a go, didnt really like it though.

4/10

Phew n1...

re-watching Sons of Anarchy season 2 as the new series starts next month.

Might do it with Dexter aswell

Best month of the year for shows I think!!

Sons of Anarchy   6th
Vampire Diaries     8th
Ultimate Fighter   14th
It's Always Sunny 15th
...House MD        19th
30 Rock              22nd
Fringe                22nd
The Mentalist      22nd
The Office          22nd
Dexter               25th

iv got them as

SOA 8th
Vampire diaries 10th
asip 17th
mentalist 24th
office 24th
dexter 27th

that when they'd be available to d/l uk time, so the air dates are a day early due to the time diff.

theres like a billion more shows that month aswell

I liked it.

Yeah I just took it straight from the eztv website, as soon as they're up there I  download.

Anyone reccommend a site where i can watch Dexter season 3.

Ta.

ive watched all that look good, dont fancy any of that mentalist / wire / supranos etc

i thought your avatar was from The Usual Suspects?

He was talking about the characters in Breaking Bad mate not other shows.

I'd give The Wire and Sopranos a shot Dave, you're missing out massively by not at least giving it a go!

I knew what he was talking about.

Ive seen 3 episodes of Supranos, but didnt find it funny at all, plus ive seen the ending so no point watching it now even if i did like it.

Isnt the Wire about lawyers? I usually only watch comedy/dark humour shows.

Ok it's just that he said you have so much to look forward to and reeled off some more characters from Breaking Bad and you answered talking about a bunch of other shows. Looked like you hadn't gotten what he was talking about...

Meh although it is funny granted, it's not meant to be a comedy. Though if you don't like it then you don't like it :)

The Wire is not about lawyers really at all although given the storylines and characters there are obviously a few about. There are several groups/storylines in the show.

The Drug Trade

Police Department

Politics

Omar who is the don!

Later seasons incorporate more groups too like the Stevedores who work the docks and a heavy organised crime outfit run by 'the greek'. You also have the opposing Baltimore drug outfit to the Season 1 crew and later Marlo Stanfield too. It's just a really well worked show with some amazing characters, a couple people I know were sceptical about it too until they watched it and then rinsed all 5 seasons in quick time!

based on papa papertits iirc

Haha never met jnr papertits nevermind papa so I'll have to take your word  :D

Since you gave such a detailed description, ill download season 1 this week.

Just watched 2 episodes of 30 Rock on TV there, it's fekkin pish!! WTF is all the fuss about.

lol ridic.

Sept.
10th Vampire Diaries**, Nikita
14th One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl
17th Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia***, The League
21st How I Met Your Mother, Two and a half men
23rd Modern Family
24th The Office US, Fringe, The Mentalist*
25th Human Target
27th Dexter

I have only saw one of those show, Fringe, and that's my whack!

Watching to many at once dilutes the quality of the good ones, I usually only download one at a time then blitz it.

Am I the only one who thinks of "The Office US" as "The Office" and the original as "the crappy UK version"?

Shame on you.

But I hate to say I know what you mean. I still think the UK one is the best one, episode for episode, but the sheer quality of the US one combined with the fact they probably have 100 episodes under their belt probably makes it the superior. I really enjoy the actual plot development of the US one (for example I hope Andy gets back with that new secetary) which is another difference, although the Tim and Dawn kiss was probably one of the best scenes in the entire UK series. The funniest episode of all of them UK training day episode where Dave Brent goes home to get his guitar.

In short, both are pure quality. I think I heard there was a Canadian one too, I wonder what thats like.

I think Dwight rules all.
UK one is better i think in terms of quality per episode but US version is incred for the fact it's been that good for so long.

Gareth was an amazing character though:

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L42-yKY1vRM

and just because its my favourite

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3smgSJnXeMQ

The office is another show ive seen a few episodes but never liked, why is the world into so many shite tv shows now a days.

US or UK Dave?

FWIW I didn't really like the US version until after the first season as it went along the UK storyline which I didn't really enjoy. Once it got into it's own storylines and they went their own way with things it became absolutely incredible with so many great characters.

PS.  Dwight Schrute would skullfuck Hank Moody AINEC!!!!

Both.

The US one was the best of a very poor pair. Terrible shows.

Brilliant.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcsOViI4EKA

1986! Better....

I THINK THERES BEEN A RAPE UP THERE!!

LMAO,I've just started watching the UK Office wasn't too keen on the first couple of eps but the training one is proper com lol.The bit in the next one where there in the night club and he says to the lass I wanted to shag you from behind because your breath smells of onions,haha.

Its here!!!

The best show on television season premiere tonight, we should get it at like 4am.

Also The League should be good (show about NFL fantasy football 2nd season) and brand new Vampire Diaries and Jersey Shore.

 ;D

Sick,thought it was next Sunday for some reason,guna be so incred.It without doubt is the funniest tv show ever,can't wait.

Channel?

Big night tomorrow night for show premieres!

This is England 86 - just too good.

Jersey shore its so bad but I still watch it lol

Don't think there's that much good tv these days
Used to look forward to watching
Californication
Entourage
Dirty sexy money
Oc

Meh what do I know I watch gossip girl

Jersey Shore is brilliant Paul Houk.

Enjoyed the first episode of Lone Star last night, about a conman and his conman Dad who live numerous different lives and lie about absolutely everything.

Tomorrow night is pretty absurd:

Vampire Diaries
Nikita
Always Sunny
Mentalist
Jersey Shore
The League
Fringe
The Office US

where do u watch all these shows online? Ive been using http://www.tv-links.eu/ but its not updated yet with the new ones

I don't watch them online anymore buddy. Since the fall of ninjavideo and such sites i've found it too much effort to find links and dodge ads.

I download them all using Rapidshare or Hotfile.

tonights gna be increeeeeeeeeeedddd

go to http://eztv.it (http://eztv.it)

every tv show on tv is on this guys show list!

amazing site

Cracking site Dave, cheers for the link

Great link Dave - pity they're all torrents though. Much prefer RS or HF (on that note, is it me or is it really hard to get decent MKV RS links this season?)

Finished Breaking Bad!

The last 2 episodes was amazingly intense, i haven't been that shocked or absorbed in a TV show for a while.

Cranston is amazing

10/10



wanted something lighthearted after it tho, so went onto Party Down. watched episodes 1-5 so far, an its quiet good at times, a really special scene in Episode 5 on season 1 lol


still to watch this year: 'Mad Men' then 'Sons of Anarchy'

BB and cranston scooped up all the emmys this year.

Party down is good. Give "The league" a go, its about a fantasy NFL league (you dont need to like/know anything about fantasy NFL)

The beginning of the offices premiere is perhaps the weirdest thing they've done yet.

Yeah that was like something from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory vv strange.


Roll on the early hours, Dexter and Kenny Fucking Powers are back!!

that opening sequence was like the best thing I've ever seen. so, so good

Better than the wedding dance?

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX7iwwB9zQ4

yep

Cranston and Paul scooped Emmys, but Breaking Bad didnt win, it was Mad Men

That vid is standard every day behavior in comparison.

season 2 SOA is sick good, 3 episodes into season 3 and it's not so great so far.

just started season 2 MM today

I watched season 1 true blood and didn't think it was good enough to bother with after but apparently it gets a lot better, almost a completely different show or something? anyone think it's worth watching?

jersey shore season 1 is incred

soooo funny

Dexter premiere was awesome. Felt very much like episode 13 of season 4 in many ways but it's an episode that had to be done. Be interesting to see where they go with it. They've set up one or two bits but nothing that I imagine would shape a season.

This is England 86 ends tonight. Gutted.

Yep, gritty drama. Have enjoyed it, despite some disturbing scenes.

oh hi der kayley

gonna watch the first 2 eps of new big bang theory now

Discovered and love 'Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia' recently, nice silly sociopathic hidden gem there

I watched the first 9 episodes and finally concluded that i didnt really like it, its too geeky for my taste , all the gags are science based and far to complicated to be funny imo.

Yup, its the shizzle. Have you seen many of them? Danny DeVito is brilliant in it.

You could watch it with the sound off and it would still be good.

but why do you care when it has kayley cuoco in it?

Probably seen about 12, best episode so far is definitely the DENNIS system.

what a life, fantastic.

Incred life.Undoubtedly funniest programme ever.

yeah, this ^^^^^ toasty life

always amazes me when people post to say they`ve just found this. have you been living in a cave?

Who? The doll the guys are infatuated by in it i assume, shes very nice but certainly wouldnt watch just to see her.

How come it's not on Englsh TV ? Too risky ? I heard it was on some English channel at some point.

Lol yea, i loved the MAC system, move in after completion lol

because they did a really wierd sydication deal with comedy central

Sure am any the wiser,syndication deal ?

I don`t really understand the ins and outs of syndication but basically they sold the rights to comedy central, the first cable channel to cable channel sale apparently.

I think they normally sell to some sort of distributor so it can get aired around the world but this strange sale meant it still only gets shown on US cable

lol, hardly easy to find it when its never been shown in the UK to the best of my knowledge. Still, much better for me that I can potentially watch all of them in a week or two.

No idea why it isn't shown over here because its exactly the sort of export we like (ie. too clever for Americans).

yeah but what I meant is it`s been bigged up so often on blonde I`m always amazed by regular posters who suddenly discover it

Ah right, that's because unfortunately I have a backlog of shows I am yet to watch and it will have been lost in the crowd.

Funnily enough, just spoke to an American friend who likes the same sort of humour and he had never heard of it either.

I`ve only just got round to watching flight of the conchords, watched season 1 over the last couple of days. love it

Sunny in Phili is on my list of shows to watch. Might get round to it after Curb.

Season 2 is also good, music isnt as funny but they bring in the New Zealand Prime Minister as a recurring character and he steals the show.

Its a perfect show to watch after Curb. Basically if you got the writers of Curb, Seinfeld and Family Guy together and told them to make a remake of Cheers, this is what you end up with.

Prepare to be amazed once again Dan.

I've never even heard of it until just now.

toasty life matt. d/l the lot now

Sons of Anarchy
Dexter
Prison Break
The Wire
The West Wing
Sopranos
Entourage
House
Mad Men
Breaking Bad

All shows I am yet to watch, Toasty life eh?

I've been meaning to do some of this d/l'ing for a while now but haven't got round to it.

Where would you recommend?

Is it safe from viruses baring in mind that I cba with updating my anti virus software.

My anti virus software has kept me safe despite the unfeasible amount of porn I download so I assume I'm safe?

http://eztv.it/

Very good site recommended by Scottish Dave

http://www.tv-links.eu/

Pretty good site if you wanna live stream em instead of download

Dexter and Entourage are brilliant, only watch Season 1 of Prison break...then pretend the rest never happened.

Yes I've heard that about Prison Break.

Without ruining it for me, no doubt season 1 will end on something of a cliff hanger, is it gonna be the sort of cliff hanger where my natural urge will be to carry on, or is there some sort of resolution I can hang onto to stop me watching the rest of it?

depends if you want to pay or not, lots of people do to get it quicker

just install Vuze and you'll get movies downloaded in 20-30 mins so not sure on the logic of paying for faster. never had any virus issues

Ahh thats the trouble you will want to see what happens, Season 2 was ok but the rest was like some kind of spoof it was that bad.

I quite liked season 2 of prison break. the only real problem with it is it could never possibly be as awesome as season 1

then, as sledge says, I had to watch season 3 to see what happens

Have Entourage Season 1 downloaded, anyone seen it? Any good?

not sure if this is a level tbh. that's the 19th post mentioning it just in this thread

on the offchance it's not a level make sure you've got plenty of time cos you won't want to watch just one ep. in fact take some time off work and get the other series downloaded and ready

lol its not a level, i honestly read through the first 7 pages and saw no mention of it, so couldnt be arsed anymore.

Just caught up with 'Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and its officially now one of my all time favourite shows.

The Event starts Friday night channel 4.

Assuming its already been shown in the states  - any of you downloaders already watched it?  worth it?

Yeah put that on reminder myself, trailer seems like a Lost/Flashforward rip off (I hope so anyway).

I'm half way through season 4 of Seinfeld,enjoying it.I'd rate it about 7/10.Anyone know why the audience applauses Kraymer when he comes into the episode,I don't get it as he's a main character,and my favourite character;is it just because they like him just normally the applause would be prompted so I'm confused.

Decent enough so far

I think its because it took a long time for people to get the fact that Seinfeld was not your normal run of the mill Sitcom, so the people who cheer were the dumb yanks in the audience who basically were saying 'me like man with funny hair'

Looks awesome...


YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg46DWI_fCE

When he woke up in the hospital I thought..........well, blatant rip of 28 days later how dare they.

But yeah, actually looks awesome. Good gig for Egg

Good idea for a series actually, I think I would have liked it even more if it had been about a community of people living with zombies, rather than one mans quest.

yup, been watching this. Quite good so far and possibly has the potential to be epic.

LOL,you think he's a good George ? :)

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QjRgfVpHRg

Poor reviews and falling fast in the ratings in the Usa, not going to bother...seems like the Networks are struggling to find a new blockbuster series like 24 and "Lost".

Anyone watching dexter season 5?! Quite a slow pace so far but pieces falling into place! Looking forward to seeing how it all pans out!

Ps, die LaGuerta!

does anyone watch manga?

I spent the first 3 eps hoping that it still wasn't true and she wasn't dead :) Been decent although the last one was a bit meh.

yeah I watched the first ones and seemed only ok, like a poor hybrid of Lost/24/Fringe, now I heard the ratings are low I wont watch again as I was pissed off they discontinued Heroes and FlashForward so Im not gonna invest my time.

I didn't bother watching to start with, the trailers for it just made it seem hopelessly derivative - it doesn't surprise me that the show itself hasn't been up to much.

Yep enjoying it, the usual slow build up to the 2nd half of the season, but thats the normal style of the show...noticed a lot of the 24 staff are now directing/writing it this season.

Wow, The Walking Dead getting top reviews, and this fella knows his stuff...

http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/walking-dead-tv

"As it stands, the extended first episode (written and directed by Darabont) is arguably the single greatest television pilot since "Twin Peaks", not to mention the best zombie "movie” in almost a decade."

 "The Walking Dead" is a milestone in television and, in many ways, the first A-level horror series. It’s classy, epic and old school in the best ways and makes you realize why you originally fell in love with this genre.

Nice to see that Sledge hasn't had to sell his TV after losing pretty much everything.

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

does anyone else read the Sepinwall review after watching an episode of whatever and think wtf I missed half of what happened. anyway he's saying the pilot's great but it goes slightly downhill afterwards. will def DL it

http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/review-amcs-the-walking-dead

This guy knows much about Tv as Linux does about Football...yup sweet FA! this show aint gonna be a new Lost or FlashFoward waste of time bollocks...its quality shit man!

Anyone seen Breaking Bad, downloading after seeing its rave reviews. Any cop?

its quality shit man!

Great, looking forward to it...

4 episodes in, brilliant stuff!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOzMtI6RCM

read bout this, wonder if worth downloading the first 3 series?

Deffo, brilliant show...its not an action fest though, just very original and character driven.

Never noticed how good Fx channel was on Sky, this is where Breaking Bad is shown, aswell as Dexter, 24, etc...hidden way down the channels though.

...suprised that The Walking Dead gets its premiere on there this Friday, if it was been shown on Channel 4 there would be much more hype and hoopla!

The trip BBC2 Mondays 10pm Coogan and Brydon

Brilliant, and quirky.


New Partridge stuff coming soon too, podcasted

Just watched that Tighty. Just what's needed after MNF. Didn't find it intense viewing but still really funny.

Understated and subtle

the Michael Caine Impression battle was ROFL

Sigh, i missed this, will that ep be shown again this week do you know?

iPlayer, like what I just did.

Had my new BTVision box delivered today. Its an 80 hour harddrive that records all the freeview programs.

With a wireless adapter to our home hub, it can pick up all the iplayer sites , BBC/ITV/CH4/CH5.

Now I can watch all the programs I missed on the big telly in the lounge in an armchair, and not stare at my PC on an Office chair,lol

The best part is all the ITV player programs are advert free, yes, NO adverts at all, v nice.

Faults so far;

It cannot record any of these Iplayer programs, they stream only.

It cannot record any Sky programs, tried plugging the scart lead in from the sky box, but it does nothing

Anyone else tried one yet, is there a way to record other stuff

Have now watched the first two seasons, 10/10 from me, brilliant on all accounts...directing, writing, acting etc. The main actor has won the best actor Emmy for the last three years in a row (a world away from when he played the dad in Malcolm In The Middle).

Watched the debut of Walking Dead last night and really liked it, it wasnt as good as one of the reviews posted on here but it was still pretty damned good.

Yeah, I liked it, though Andrew Lincoln's accent is lol.

It did go a bit Egg from This Life when he was shouting

seemed like we've seen it all before, hated the beginning with the little girl turning round and it's meant to be a surprise that she's a zombie? anyway will give ep 2 a go.

DLing boardwalk empire, been getting great reviews and it's got omar in it!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StkrCTZPS-c

Boardwalk Empire is great,takes about three episodes to get going but it's worth it.

^^^^^^ this..... great programme

I liked the first 2 episodes of The Walking Dead.

Some parts were slow but in the main i enjoyed the character and storyline development.

Obviously its something we've all seen before in relation to all zombie movies but with the exception of Zombieland which was awful, i've always been a fan of films like that and it will be interesting to see how it progresses as a series.

I think its rather convenient his wife, son and best friend are some of the few survivors but i guess that will add to the story.

In terms of other programs, nothing ground-breaking, thoroughly enjoying Nikita, the new seasons of Dexter and Supernatural are strong and The Vampire Diaries, Fringe and The League all continue to really impress.

A little dissapointed with the new seasons of The Office US and Always Sunny but still both more than watchable.

Also a shout out for Celebrity Coach Trip on 4od which started yesterday with Ben from big brother, the Chuckle Brothers and Raef from The Apprentice starring, its com.

Regarding The Walking Dead, i only just realised that Simon from Teachers is the main character.

Office has been pretty weak, I am really starting to dislike the main characters and am now finding the most entertainment from Andy, Daryl, the new secretary etc. It seems they are going to go for a changing of the gaurd kind of thing for next series which is good.

Always Sunny - there has been a good episode followed by a bad episode, I think Dee having a baby could really make a future series awesome tho

In theres any shield fans out there:

Watch Breaking Bad obv!

Heres a great moment when the lead actor owns Lost and Dexter for the 3rd year in a row....

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NMByLOYtPY

...spot on about Zombieland!

i miss the shield for me the best cop show ever..ohh cheers for link ordered it :)

The Trip BBC2 Mondays 10pm Coogan and Brydon
Brilliant, and quirky.



Analysis of Zombieland in this thread = Swing and a miss.

The defenders - two guys who run a law firm in vegas
The whole truth - A DA and a lawyer who face off
Undercovers - A couple who are CIA agents
Blue Bloods - Show about NYC cops

Are all really good new shows this season, best is probably defenders imo

the league is incred

i love this one, just sitting down to watch season 2

Just finished season 3 of Breaking Bad, yep its my final sales pitch lol! so I watched the lot in just over a week, which is deffo not like me...but it was just so good, season 4 summer 2011 so catch up if youve not seen it yet, heres a classic moment from season 1.

In many ways its like a Tv adaption of the classic Michael Douglas film "Falling Down".

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGN3SBVIjjA

Anyone on here get the impression Sledge13 is a fan of the tv series Breaking Bad?

Its gooooooooood tho!

He just maybe, but I know unless its been hyped big time a lot of you wont watch, it was first shown in 2008 and ive missed it until now, if it had been on a mainstream channel everyone would be talking about it...fans of quality tv should not receive the same fate....a fella who wrote a few books called Stephen King has this to say:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20263453,00.html

"As a result, this modest basic-cable network is now broadcasting the best scripted show on TV. Your Uncle Stevie may not care much for Mad Men, but he has never seen anything like BB on the tube."

"It's like watching No Country for Old Men crossbred with the malevolent spirit of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

"Thank God for basic cable, if it can produce programming as strange and compelling as this. Breaking Bad invites us into another world, just as The Shield and The Sopranos did, but Walt White could be a guy just down the block, the one who tried to teach the periodic table to your kids before he got sick. The swimming pool with the eye in it could be right down the block too. That's exactly what makes it all so funny, so frightening, and so compelling. This is rich stuff."

Watched the first 7 episodes of The Event after Rich practically tied me down to a chair (in a very manly, ungay way) and forced me to, and it is brilliant.

I can see why this comment might be applicable: "Many reviewers believed the average audience may not have the patience for this again after previous mystery shows" but i am not the average viewer, i love the mystery shows.

hahaha.

I did NOT do this, but it is really good and people should watch!

This is f'n awesome. Added bonus - Jim Belushi is one of the leads.

yea the 2 leads are very good, just watched last nights episode A+

people need to watch this show. Best american comedy ive seen in years.

http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/The-League_13838/

Based on an awesome graphic novel. Cant wait to get stuck in.

I thought the Event was getting pulled ?

liking walking dead and the event so far

latest ep of always sunny was the best thing on tv ever

yeah, was abs brilliant.

Yep, been a hit and miss season but it was pretty incred, Danny De Vitos sex scene was piss funny.

My fave shows are 24, Breaking Bad and Dexter (tho this season is not so good), I like shows with twists and that are also unpredictable... my research has led me to Sons Of Anarchy, great reviews, but is it worth it as I dont really like the sound of the Hells Angles type story...

Sons of Anarchy very good.Agree Dexter latest not up to par.Enjoying Boardwalk Empire also.

SOA season 1 usual slowish buildup, season 2 most exciting season of TV ever, season 3 absolutely terrible

I have been watching Horizon on BBC 2

One show was called Is Seeing Believing and show many Illusions

The two grey panels look Light Grey and Dark Grey , but they are exactly the same colour

They peel off the centre and put it on the top

They did some street illusions with a chair

cool crow, I quite like stuff like that, gonna iplayer it later

I started watching THe Event on Ch 4  as recommended by the the young guns

Its great. Up to episode 6 so far

Episode 1 Spoiler

In 1944 a plane crashes in Alaska with 100 passengers on board. 3 manage to walk away to get help and the other 97 get rescued.

Back in 2010, the new American President ( an Obama Lookalike ) is told these people have been held in a detention centre for 66 years.

The plane that crashed was not of Earth design and the passengers have not aged a day in 66 years.

 They refused to say how or where they came from, so they were being held, until they would explain

He insists they are released and plans to hold a Press conference to tell the world

As the press conference starts, a Hi-jacked plane begins to dive straight towards the press Hotel in Florida

At the last minute a wormhole appears infront of the plane and it disappears.

The leader of the passengers says " We did not tell you everything "

What day can you download The Walking Dead?

According to eztv it airs tonight so should be available overnight or early tomorrow.

Sandy

Dexter getting sick now, I'm so glad that they don't have an xmas break like most shows and it's all gonna play out by the 12th!

Only up to ep3 but I can already see some potential developing.

The first few episdoes of phone shop are awesome.

It takes a while to get going this season but it's really picking up in the latest couple of eps.

Yeah I wish I'd saved it to watch in 1 hit over xmas when other shows are on break, I just don't have the willpower though and it gets better and better as things start to take shape.




Gonna download these this week for a look




Yeah the 2nd half is really shaping up great and I think the last 3 eps are gonna be vv sick

In a superb Dexter episode the show really picked up the pace, but Julia Stiles who plays Lumen is the most wooden actress i've ever seen, some scenes actually look like outtakes with her!

The 12 year old who plays Astor gave her a good acting lesson in this episode.

I dont watch Dexter, I plan to, but Julia Styles is the worst actress ever, so its put me off

First three episodes of walking dead have been amazing, really tense scary stuff with some interesting human drama thrown in. Egg from this life is becoming quite likeable as the main character

She only came in this series,meh she's pretty fit so I'm happy with her being in.Plus I somehow never notice bad acting.

Check out the scene in the latest episode when the baby calls her mom, her reaction to Astors  anger is abs laughable...just so so bad in many scenes. Good to see the writers getting Dexter back on top form in this one though, actually cant wait for the next episode for the first time in ages.

Didn't someone say the new writers on Dexter are the old ones from 24,been really good last few eps.

Haha dont worry shes only in half of the latest season, we always seem to agree Mr Shoelace...hope you have checked out Breaking Bad?

Yeah its the team from the last few seasons of 24, thank christ it wasnt them from Lost or there would be some made up as they go along bullshit about time warps and secret Mcdonalds in Paradise.............***










*** SPECIAL BONUS COMMENT FOR BRENT HORNERIS  ;D

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKiXJ_FdMjg



Definitely gonna be a sick end to the season, roll on Monday morning!!

Havent yet, thats next on the list once I get 24 season 8 out of the way.

Why, do you like it or something?

Its ok... ;D

Boardwalk Empire (Scorsese, HBO) - is the nuts! writers of sopranos :)

What should be top of my list to watch?
Got 2 lists really - Comedy and Non-comedy

Comedy - Blasted through the League and watch US Office weekly and working my way through Curb. Sunny in Phili is next on the list so that's covered.

Non-comedy - Not had anything to fill the void that Lost left. Watching Walking Dead weekly which I like but what should i try and blast through next? The Event? Breaking Bad?

In before Sledge blows his load over his keyboard while trying to tell you to watch Breaking Bad.

Sunny in Philadelphia is amazing, just watch all of them. 30 Rock isn't bad if you haven't watched that, takes a few episodes to get into.

Walking Dead is fast becoming my favourite new, non comedy, show.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSG3Zg41MDU


are you fuking shiting me?!! lol so gonna watch this.

Also Dexter is really mental now! 2 eps left this season.

The new "V" is ok, but quite slow...lacks the menace and action of the 80s original and cant believe they didnt use an updated version of the epic theme...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5tUsB5UmjI

Stephen Kings top 10 of 2010:

1. Friday Night Lights
2. The Walking Dead
3. Breaking Bad
4. The Event
5. Damages
6. Dexter
7. Sons of Anarchy
8. SpongeBob SquarePants
9. Boardwalk Empire
10. Morning Joe

Was going to watch Friday Night Lights, then found it was about American Football...ugh!

This time last year I had never seen a single episode, but this morning I finally caught up with 24 and finished season 8. I'm inclined to say that its the best TV show of all time, or at the very least, joint best with Lost (Lost I think is the better series as a whole, whereas any single series of 24 is better than a single series of, well, anything). Cannot wait for the film.

Which leaves me with a big hole to fill, probably gonna be Breaking Bad (if its bad I will lose all respect for Sledge), Sopranos & Dexter - one or more of those. 

Yep 24 was a brilliant show, cant believe it started in 2001...time flys! I actually put Breaking Bad on a par with 24...100% sure you will love it. Dexter isnt as good but is still a great show (tho the 1st 2 seasons are easily the best).

did you skip the bad ones?

imo the only season of 24 that was not very good was season 1, which was amazing but got a bit silly towards the end (Teri gets amnesia) after that even the inferior seasons were better than 99% of whats on TV right now

#TheWalkingDead’s season finale is tonight! What are you most excited to see? Tweet your answer…

Surely it cant be the season finale already, only been 6 eps

ffs, hate 6 ep seasons. was getting really good too

If you like the walking dead you might like Jericho

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805663/

Jericho was great after about 3 episodes, once they ditched a lot of the human interest touchy-feely stuff.

Sadly the success of Walking Dead has killed Rubicon, which I thought was fantastic, as AMC has decided to concentrate on the zombies instead of the political/conspiracy show.

Can't wait for Dexter tomorrow. Season started slow but has built up in a mental way.

My prediction for the finale (no spoilers as i obv have no idea):

Deb finds out about Dexter via Liddy. Deb then kills Liddy to defend Dexter and the two of them dispose of the body. Recent eps seem to be trying to make Deb seem more sympathetic towards the whole killing people idea. I think they're building up to a reveal.

As for Lumen: no idea. I assume she dies due to characters not bieng allowed to live past a season...

Just started watching the League this week, a comedy set around an NFL fantasy league and it's pretty com

Just downloading Season 1 on the strength of this.

nice, its brilliant.

Even better if your in an NFL FF league! Such com lines and stuff thats true

Im inclined to say that you have only ever watched two tv shows in ur life??

Each to there own of course but; 24 joint best with Lost???   This will soon change, hurry up and watch Sopranos and Dexter.

24 was awesome, certainly one of the best ever shows on the telebox.  I'm quite liking The Event at the moment and Dexter S5.  Is it me or has Quinn lost a lot of weight?  He's so thin he's looking ill.

"This will soon change, hurry up and watch Breaking Bad"

Yeah he looks like he's on the same diet as Deb

The burping/farting cat on Quinns computer was the season high imo...

Just started watching Dexter, enjoying it so far.

Just started watching Breaking Bad on Sledges reccomendation............

Very good so far

Incred lives having not seen 2 of the best shows on TV yet lol

lol, not seen Breaking Bad either. That'l probs be next on the list.

I'm also going to try this sliced bread stuff people talk about

Good to hear m8, wish I had some more to watch, one of those rare shows that gets better and better right up to the end of Season 3...Season 4 coming July 2011.

http://the-best-tv-shows.com/

Nearly as way off as the Imdb Top Movies, its really whos got the most geeky fanboys clicking their mouses... :P

Ha run better?




Your life will be even toastier than it appeared before then  ;)

Just watched the first season of The League and it's pretty com even though I'm clueless with NFL.Taco is incred,ROFL at the sleeping bong.

Season 2 is even better, the season finale just aired last night and was incred

this

I got tired so went to bed just after Burn Notice came up, sure glad I did as the League appeared less than 10mins later ffs and just downloading now

which season?

I'm gonna take a shot at 1st

lolol yeah 1st

nice life in that case :)

either Dexter or the wire are next on my list... suggestions???

Anybody watch lie to me is it any good

http://tunedin.blogs.time.com/2010/12/09/top-10-shows-of-2010-the-best-and-the-rest/

Suprised to see no Dexter, 24 or Lost...but hi der no 1...

1. Breaking Bad

2. Mad Men

3. Parks and Recreation

4. Louie

5. Boardwalk Empire

6. Party Down

7. The Pacific

8. The Good Wife

9. Rubicon

10. Terriers

Dont get the fuss about Mad Men though, 2 episodes in and my eyes literally were shut tight, could not open them till I left the room it was that dull.

Sledge you want to marry Breaking Bad dont ya?

We are engaged m8, the wedding is next July... :-*

I really liked the first season of this but they seem to have run out of ideas now.

Yeah it's good but they're just dragging it out a bit until the inevitable Foster gets ironed out or Lightman and her get it on.

Read this today...

Lie to Me has not been cancelled. While it is not a good sign, The Chicago Code, a new drama from Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Terriers, and, yes, Lie to Me) had already been scheduled to take over Lie to Me‘s slot beginning February 7, and with American Idol taking up so much time on FOX’s schedule, it could well be this is simply a matter of there being too many shows for too few slots this spring. Regardless, as of now, FOX has not cancelled Lie to Me and a decision on the show’s fate is not expected until May.

gets going in season 3, season 4 is pretty awesome

I though season 3 was a touch of a dip.

But 4 is the stone cold nuts.

the office xmas special, dwight is incred

I havent liked this season that much but this was a good episode, namely Dwight vs Jim which was awesome.

has anyone seen breaking bad? wondering whether to bother, I've heard it's ok ish

Not too keen on it myself, this fella thinks its ok though...

http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/06/14/breaking-bad-is-the-best-show-on-tv/

"It's better than 'Lost,' better than 'Dexter,' better than 'Rescue Me.' It's even better than its highly-praised AMC schedule-mate 'Mad Men,' despite the fact that Matt Weiner and company put together a stellar third season last year. And it's not even close."

Tonight is gonna be epic, can't wait for the last ep of Dexter

The Walking Dead - Having now seen all of season 1 have to say it was just ok, expected a lot more, very cliched predictable characters a lot of the time...hopefully season 2 will pick up a bit...

I loved it. Only thing I do concur with is there is nothing special about the characters yet, they are all decent enough but nobody stands out whereas most of the great shows these days have great characters. However I think it has been very scary, kept a very steady pace and didnt get stale (there is only so much you can do with zombies and they havent laboured that point at all) and has really left me wanting more. 6 episodes seems way to small and I assume this was a pilot season as much as anything, I think there is plenty of scope to open up in series 2.

No decent crumpet in it though :(

also desperate to know what was whispered in his ear near the end

from the list sledge posted before i noticed parks and recreation, very funny imo

Dexter was incred,by far the best tv series of the bigger shows this year and it ain't close.

Why do the season villians tie up Dexter and not expect him to escape...becoming way too easy for Dex these last two seasons, hopefully a bigger challenge for him next time, and Lumen Gtfo!!!

    
Douglas Adams's holistic detective Dirk Gently arrived on BBC4 tonight

A one -off episode at 9pm was a great success.

It follows the same humour as Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy.

Adapted for TV by the Missfits writer

Its on I player for the next 7 days

dirk gently was one of my favourite  books growing up, iplayer not available in ireland, shame.

Watched this last night, pretty funny and well adapted. Worth watching imo.

DLing twin peaks season 1 as i write. season 2 is worth watching? have heard it went downhill, and there's a movie as well???

tvshack.cc has been got!

where to next, anybody know?

TP did meander a bit in season 2 (when David Lynch didn't really have anything to do with it) but it picks up towards the end when he came back on board. Still worth watching though. The movie was a prequel and I think it's great, though it's more disconnected from the TV series than a lot of people were expecting (different actress playing Donna, for one) hence why it got a bit of a bashing on release.

I really like Demoniod, failing that Isohunt is always a good start

http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?s=edeb731a92636fe0822fb14081167b4c&showforum=130

thx, hard to find anything online about it without spoilers, enjoying it so far

Dunno if anybody has mentioned it but arrested development is awesome.

Have just finished 1st season; dunno why they didnt make more

Never got the ratings.

Agree that it's one of the best shows ever made.

Prob works much better on DVD than TV though. There's so many running jokes and storylines that unless you've watched from start to finish it can be hard to pick up. Show a random season 3 episode to someone who hasn't watched before and they won't have a clue what's going on and why it's supposed to be funny.

I believe there is a film of it due out this year.Never watched it but planned to as a mate always goes on about how good it is.

New season of V started off well

I agree a lot of the stuff looks back at what's happened previous...that's what makes it so good though

Plus portia Di rossi is amazing; can't believe she's a lesbian

The new Sky Atlantic channel looks amazing, essentially just all the best HBO stuff, free to sky subscribers at the start of next month:

First 2 eps of Californication were pretty com, most people may have seen them already as they leaked on xmas day.

Hhere are links for torrents anyway just in case

Hustle is back :D

We start "Lights Out," FX's terrific new boxing drama (which debuts Tuesday at 10 p.m.), in the dressing room after Patrick "Lights" Leary has just been dethroned as heavyweight champion of the world. He is unconscious and looks like his face just collided with a freight train that was covered in barbed wire, sandpaper and bits of broken glass.

http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/review-fxs-lights-out-offers-compelling-boxing-drama

That was advertised when I was watching something else the other night and looks promising

This!

The opening song by Alice In chains, just epitomises everything about hank living in California, that and its just a Fekking class tune!

Regretting watching them now tho as will need to wait till Jan 22nd for Ep 3!

+1 school boy error

Was looking at this the other day, going to be fantastic

does anyone know if the usa version of skins and shamless is worth watching?

but there is something worth watching new season of jersey shore!

Skins is identical to the uk version, so dont bother if you've seen the uk version.

Shameless usa is pretty decent

Now HBO on the way for sky customers, keep an eye out for this...

Just finished downloading the first season of this last night,if it's half as good as The Sopranos should be sick good.

I started downloading it from the off, was saving it for when there was a lull in programmes. Got as far as December when they all go on break and watched the lot in 2 days it's class!

Michael Scott met David Brent last night. Made me happy to see them together.

I liked

yeah it was ok, kind of like deniro and pacino going head to head in Heat. I wish Brent was a bit funnier in it because he is the overall better character, it would be awesome if he was the new Dunder Mifflin boss but it will never happen.

SKY ATLANTIC HC, Channel 108, 24 hours to go!!!

wooooohoooooo

Quite excited. I can see myself watching this and only this channel for quite a while!

24 reruns 3 times a day..... ;D

any idea when it starts? its not listed yet on the sky planner or website

10 am

Just found out it should show in the sky planner at 10am as you said but programmes start at 8pm

so i will be at my TV at 9:59am ready to sky plus the shit out of it

Gonna clear out my recordings ready for this!

Wiiiiiiii

http://tv.sky.com/tvlistings

Remote record ftw. (If you've actually got a job, obv, otherwise you'd be at home, and wouldn't need it).

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage and of course 24 great shows if you've not seen, i've heard good things about Six Feet Under (Michael C Hall is in it)...anyone see it b4?

One question though....WHERE THE FK IS BREAKING BAD!  ;)

Never seen Six Feet Under, it's starting with the first ever episode on Thurs, so going to give it a go.

love six feet under. was probs the best thing on tv when season 1 aired

Ahhh n1...

Starting on Sky One this Sunday, update of a classic show and one of the best themes ever...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Ba_jz22sI

Liking Boardwalk Empire so far, seems a great mix of serious and funny, though in fairness it looks like it may turn out to be more the Steve Buscemi show than the next Sopranos (Not that I have properly seen the Sopranos yet but I am going to start now this new channel has arrived).

Gonna see what all the fuss with 6 Feet Under was about too.

Sky Atlantic has proven something I thought for a while, which is that TV is the new movies. I have only seen a handful of movies in the last 5 years that compares to some of the great drama series that come out of the States.

lol same mate, i only had 7% left, so cleared out out to leave 93%, no doubt ill need it recording HD Baby!

Hawaii Five O was suprisingly awesome!

why? did a middle aged science teacher who finds out he has a terminal disease start cooking up meth in a trailer?

A+

 rotflmfao

Ha, nah just the first five minutes alone (great action scene) showed Itv and the like how to do an action drama unlike the recent pitiful effort "Kidnap And Ransom", the production team includes the writers/directors of 24, Lost and the new Die Hard and Star Trek sequels so its not gonna be pants really...

Dave you should right a script on this idea, you may have a winner!

Had read this spoiler before I had seen the episode Brent was in, I must say i was a tad disappointed that he was only in for that tiny part, seems a bit stupid that he just bumps into Michael Scott in a corridor in America?

Surely he could of had a more prominent role in a full episode?

I dont think it was sposed to be a big deal, just an in joke for the fans given that Steve Carell is leaving at the end of this series (I reckon 90% of the americans that watch it dont even know there was a British version). I would love it if Gervais came to the US version to replace Michael though

I think It was the same episode were Michael thought he was getting back together with holly and he has a recording of himself on the computer and is dancing and playing music that was a brilliant scene.

not on over here yet but new series of spartacus is as good as gods of arena

http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/Spartacus--Gods-of-the-Arena_24816/

Anyone else watching True Blood and Being Human? Think they have both been superb in their third series after a so so second series each.

I saw True Blood when it was on in the US so am waiting impatiently for season 4 to start now. I just downloaded the first 2 seasons of Being Human, haven't had time to start watching it yet unfortunately but will hopefully get round to it soon.

Have been watching Lights Out though when I get 5 minutes and it's shaping up pretty well. Kareem Said the leader of the Muslims in Oz has just come into it and is playing a great part

Just watched last weeks episode of the Office. Always thought I preferred the UK version but the US version has just kept giving and giving. Could be an emotional few weeks coming up.

If you like the US office try Parks and Recreation created by some of the same people and filmed in the same style.

The first series is only 6 episodes long and kinda meh but it takes off a couple of episodes into the second series and imo is the best thing on US tv.

Did anyone watch The Killing(Forbrydelsen) on BBC4?

20 part murder case set in Copenhagen,dark,grimey,twists and turns with some brilliant acting from the murdered girls parents and the lead detective.Well worth catching when it's repeated.So well done you will forget about the subtitles.

cancelled

I've been watching 4-5 episodes of this every night and just caught up today, it's much better than the UK version for the simple reason there's a ton more episodes and the standard has never dropped, v v v v v v good. Pretty gutted I don't have anymore episodes to watch :(

Yeah the ratings dropped off which was a shame and final ep is this week

On the upside Fringe has been renewed for S4 which is good

Being Human series 1 was great. 2 and 3 were awful

I was dev'd when they killed that blonde girl off in the first ep, hoped she was gonna be in it for a while. Haven't managed to get round to ep 2 yet :D

Anyone been watching Breakout Kings or the new Camelot, both really good so far

Watched first 2 eps last night, really good.

just watched the last eps of Shamless us, not as funny as the uk version but still good.


http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/Shameless--US-_24634/

gf and me like a bit of sci-fi etc, looking for a series to watch together from the start.

Fringe the one?

stargate universe is good and bedlam is acceptable

Full length Hangover 2 trailer is out. Looks like it could be every bit as good as the original.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYL_T7f59o8

Yes.

Is The Event any good ?

v good

Earlier i posted a movie link without reading the Thread title for which i apologise for.

I have always been a massive series fan: my missus works a way from home for months on a time (brag) so when I am not playing pokes i hit films/series pretty hard.

I have completed a lot of series with my favourites of the bunch being:

Always sunny in Philadelphia, peep show, the shield, Modern Family,  sopranos, waking dead, entourage, himym, arrested development, prison break, Lost, friends, the wire, boardwalk empire, Shameless, True Blood, Heroes, Scrubs, the middle, my name is earl, malcolm in the middle, dark skies, x files, the office, 24, bob, the pacific.. that is probably enough for now, ofah, blackadder, american dad.

Series I watched a good few episodes of but didn't like are: The Event, Blue Bloods, House

Ones I havent got around to seeing which are queued up are: Spaced, Dexter, the  I.T Crowd Anyone have any suggestions of where i should start or great series that could have slipped under my radar?

Really looking forward to game of thrones to start as well.

Finding a little known series or a big series which i have missed is like heroin to a junkie for me.

If you havent seen Always sunny or Modern family get em watched!!

Cheers, will watch.

Inbetweeners and Being Human maybe, based on your (very good) tastes?

Sorry obv seen Inbetweeners, there are a few which i have forgotten off the list. Inbetweeners movie about their lads holiday should be out soon. i think August or October can't really remember.

Being Human i like it! heard good things about the first 2 series. 3rd not so much. Nice one!

Series 3 is the best of the lot imo

Here are a few not in your list m8

30 Rock
Burn Notice
Californication
Crash
Damages
Fringe
Lie to Me
Shark
Sons of Anarchy
The Mentalist
The Shield
The Vampire Diaries

Nice one. Shield is on mate. Seen SOA. Lie to me looks class, getting that downloaded. Never even heard of Shark, might give that a go.

You are the navy Mark lad who was at Chicksands back in the Roy Paulton SWO days aren't ya? Remember speaking to ya on laddies yearrrs ago. (BigSpike on there) I was at Chix the same time. I'm out now. Best thing I ever did.

Battlestar Galactica is the one.

BREAKING BAD, BREAKING BAD, BREAKING BAD.

 :D

Lol. seen Breaking Bad as well. Clearly missed a few from my list.
