House

Post 5

I watch most of the shows listed above, plus Drawn Together and Las Vegas.

Post 6

I watch DVDs. If a series is any good, it'll generate buzz and come out on DVD.

Otherwise, I have more valuable things to do with my time. I know it's a wanky cliche to say this, but breaking my TV habit was one of the best things I've ever done.

Post 7

TV in Australia is shocking.. good thing have the internet :D

Post 8

TV in Switzerland goes for an hour or so, without a break.
Then they have 15minutes of ads.

I like that.

Wow - just started watching Weeds - must see for anyone with televisional taste.

Quote:

This new series is a single-camera comedy about a single mother who makes ends meet by selling marijuana in suburban Los Angeles. The series exposes the dirty little secrets that lie behind the pristine lawns and shiny closed doors of homes in the fictional town of Agrestic, California. Mary Louise Parker stars as a suburban mom who resorts to selling weed to support her family...

The OC...

...fark yeah

Thats a pretty good show to watch... I'm surprised when I started watching it and started liking it... Although mind you its visual eye candy because Marissa and Summer are damn hot...

Post 31

watched it but after the 6th or 7th ep i slowly lost interest. the first few weeks of it were great but it got boring for me.

Post 32

jack bauer for president, no, really, it's totally gonna happen

Post 33

Post 36

Post 37

Post 38

Post 39

Post 42

Same here - I went looking for that animated gif you have in your sig to show my wife after we started watching the latest 24.

Would love to see the current president get assasinated - dumbass (on 24, that is - not IRL. Shit, will probably get a knock on the door tonight from Echelon goons ;-))

Post 43

talk to me on msn about pb brownie

Post 45

Prison break is so hot right now !! :) Love that show!

I'm not gay but that... ok i'll stop before I say anything silly :p

Post 46

Hustle is a damn awesome show, really cool to watch - plenty of twists

Post 47

Y'know what's a good show and is starting on ABC tonight. Grumpy Old Men! W007!

Post 48

Television; the drug of the nation. Breeding ignorance, and feeding radiation.

You don't control what comes through the hypnotizer, take back your mind and download the series' that interest you.

My favourite right now;

Monkey (Magic) - This is a spiritually uplifting television series, with positive moral prescriptions. I now have a crush on Tripitaka, although I really wish he'd get his teeth fixed.
The Tribe - Made in New Zealand post-apocalyptic teen drama.
The X-Files - Excellent series, except for the last 3 seasons. Truly the best romance on TV!
The Lone Gunmen - Including 'Pilot' episode prediction of government staged terror using remote-controlled planes against the WTC.
Firefly - Anti-establishment sci-fi.
Ghost in the Shell: SAC - Great series. Love the allusions to MKULTRA 'standalone' theories.
Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig - I love this!

Note: both GITS series must be watched with original Japanese audio and English subtitles, irritating American voiceovers lack emotion entirely, and render the series unwatchable!

Post 49

The Tribe? haha, that show is pathetic!
Unless you fit into its demographic of pre-teen viewers.

Post 50

I'm loving Prison Break atm. Stopped downloading it so I have something to look forward too every week :)

Post 51

Excuse him; Milenko is mistaken.

:eek:

You are probably thinking of "The Tribe - The New Tommorow", which is airing on ABC at the moment. Spinoff.

Post 52

Ah righto then, my bad.
Im probably thinking of the Kids show, as opposed to the one your speaking of. The kids show is so bad :p

Post 53

updated the show listing in 1st post...anyone know any more good shows on atm?

Post 54

just finished the 1st season of House. that show kicks some serious ass.

also everyone hates chris is a terrible show. its unoriginal, crappy and cliched. all the jokes are "i was so poor and black when i was growing up, embarassing situation x happened!" And his voice over narration is so annoying. chris rock stopped being funny years ago when he ran out of original jokes and started rehashing his old ones over and over. /rant

Post 55

Damn - never knew Chris Rock was EVER funny....

and yes - House is the best!

Post 56

I agree with OD and Tard... House is one of my favourite shows now.

Post 57

House is great :D

Post 58

House "Im gonna cut your balls off, then you will be just fine."

Post 59

why does the first post say that hyperdrive and IT crowd were axed

I hope its just because you got confused with the 6 episode seasons

actually i was going off the official site
i figured show finished written on the main page = show finished
but ill be happy if they bring back such a good show that'd be awesome :grin:

and when they bring back hyperdrive that'll be cool too :D
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/hyperdrive/

Post 61

... and to continue the anime thread started by the GITS references -
Cowboy Bebop
Martian Successor Nadesico (nutbar!)
annnnd Vandread, which is just eyecandy for mech lovers :D

Post 62

THey some old anime Aegis, you should watch vandread 2.. more titties

Post 63

hehe Yeah, got Vandread 2nd stage.. included above by association... and since it's really no more than a second season of the same show :)

good show though.. man i love the vanguard

keep missing samurai champloo on sbs..

Post 64

Samurai Champloo is gold. Absolutely loved that series.

Post 65

TV update:

Sopranos is up to episode ten, and the series so far has been awesome, glad they decided to make another season
24: yeh getting sick of it

Post 68

Just finished watching another season of The Amazing Race.
No cable at the moment so down to local channels.
Watching firefly DVD series again after watching Serenity on DVD. ( darn FOX )

Post 69

i dont watch tv (even tho i have cable) but i download alot.

this is what im currently watching:

prison break
house
avatar: the last airbender
veronica mars

stopped watching anime but i liked
bleach
old naruto(not the filler bs)
full metal alchemist
samurai champloo
hunter x hunter

oh and i have to recommend the chappelle show for anyone with a sense of humour

Post 70

Chapelle show ftw =)

Post 71

I want Stargate SG-1 back :/
f*ckin Seven. They have Morena Baccarin(sp?)(Inara from Firefly and Serenity) joining the show soon, and we're a season behind!

in fact... if anyone in NSW is bored... here's a phone number for you: (02) 8777 7777 That's Seven's head office. I'd love to hear an answer as to why SG-1 hasnt been on the air for over a year now. As I understand it, Seven's broadcasting deal with MGM means that MGM can't even release the season 9 DVDs here until Seven has aired the season. There's comments that Seven *wont* air it because people have been getting the episodes off the net. If this is true then surely they're just pouring fuel on the fire, since how many people have got fed up waiting, downloaded the eps from this magical thing called BitTorrent, and realised - 'holy crap! I can get all my favourite shows a year before they're out here!'. Ah well.. it's their foot I suppose, they can shoot it if they want to.

Post 72

deadwood started again on sunday. woot.

Post 73

woohoo stargate SG-1 is back on 29th of June (thursday) at 11pm - damned graveyard shift. With Atlantis season 2 to follow later in the year :D
