TV Shows

[Munsu]

Noticing that few people here talk about TV Shows in general, thought I'd make this thread where people can talk about shows they are watching or planning on watching, maybe present a description on the show to accompany it with hopes of sparking the interest of other people.

For starters, the following site provides helpful information on shows that are airing, will be airing, and ones that have been cancelled in the major networks (just click on the different network tabs):
http://www.tv.com/story/story.html&story_id=4475&page=1


Over the last year or so, these are the shows that I've been pretty much watching:

24
LOST
Veronica Mars
Smallville
The Unit
Prison Break
The 4400
Surface
Invasion
Entourage
Thief
Medium
Supernatural
Point Pleasant
Roswell
Monk
Desperate Housewives
What About Brian?
Firefly

There have been a couple of others that I've been meaning to watch, but sadly haven't found the time yet:

Sopranos
The Shield
House
The Dead Zone
Threshold
Nip/Tuck
Battlestar Galactica
Alias
Bones
Joan of Arcadia

The following list are some series that I'm looking forward to their premieres this summer and this fall:

**Eureka
**Jericho
Blade
Windfall
**Psych
**Kyle XY
Three Moons Over Milford
**Heroes
Kidnapped
Raines
**The Nine
Six Degrees
**Traveler
Standoff
**Vanished
Runaway
Hidden Palms
Saved

**Ones that I think will be worth watching.


Anyways, if you can, share anything about TV shows in general just to see if we can increase interest in some shows and increase discussion over here.

I'm a coward and I can't stand NipTuck's hospital scenes. Every time they take that little hammer I just cringe and run away from the room.

Most of the shows that are worth it have to be bought on DVD (or download them, of course), 'cause they take too long on showing them. The only ones I was watching was The 4400, LOST and... does Family Guy count?

Anyway, yeah, I like LOST a whole lot but haven't been able to keep up lately, 'sides I dislike Ana Lucia.

I need more time to watch TV :(

[Aeon]

The only tv shows I bother to watch or download weekly are Lost, Alias, Family Guy, Cinematech and Attack of the Show. I dunno what happened to me as I used to watch so much tv 2yrs ago now it seems like I pay for DTV for others to enjoy it.

[darkmetal505]

Master of Champions looks cool.

The only TV show I watched on a regular basis was 24. I watched others on and off.

[masamuneehs]

When I'm in the states I'm a 24 and Shield regular, but don't really care enough to follow television outside of sports or the occasional 'let's see what's on'

I do also, however, greatly appreciate the following animated series:

Family Guy
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
South Park
Robot Chicken (claymation and action figures count as animation, right?)
The Boondocks
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (occasionaly too weird, even for me...)

and of course there will always be a special place in my heart for the dearly departed Sealab 2021

24 is the shit, the only show I ALWAYS watch on TV, everything else I either catch or just dl if I miss it.

My Shows:
The 4400: ZOMG Can't wait till next Sunday!
Stargate SG-1/ Atlantis
Smallville: Getting pretty angsty, dunno about next season
Scrubs
House
ER
Boondocks: ...Gin Rummy..nuff said
Family Guy: Who doesn't watch this? And what's wrong with those people?
Aqua Teen's: If it ever comes back on
Surface: Fuck you NBC, I hate you for canceling this...and you gave the slot to Deal or no Deal...fire yourselves...
The L Word: Lesbian whining is somehow more entertaining than teenager whining

Show's I'd like to watch but don't:
Battlestar Galactica
Charmed: Guess I can watch all the DVD's I made and never looked at now that it's over
Lost

Weeds is a good TV show on Showtime. You can download the whole first season now (10 eps).

[Munsu]

I'm hoping there will be at least two-three good new shows coming up, right now I got diddly squat to watch

Well if you are talking about the Summer, you can try The 4400 on USA which the third season starts this Sunday. The first 2 seasons were fairly short, so you can catch up in no time.

Entourage is on HBO this Sunday also, it's pretty good I'd say. 30 minute episodes, so you can get caught up to that in no time.

Kyle XY starts on June 26 on ABC, I say it looks interesting...

Eureka starts in July 18 on Sci-fi, and since I was surprised on how good Eureka seveN turned out, I'm willing to take a chance with a TV Show of a similar name.

Blade starts on June 28 on Spike TV... didn't care much for the movies, but I'm willing to give this a chance and see if it's any entertaining. I love vampires, so I'll probably watch it.

I see you watch Stargate, and their new seasons start this summer, so you'll at least have that to watch.

I think I mentioned a couple of there that you might like.

BTW, just saw a trailer for the show Heroes starting this fall... Looks pretty good in my opinion.

The new season on the FX originals shuffle is Rescue Me. It can be heart wrenching and fucking hilarious at the same time, Denis Leary is awesome and this is a must watch.

[Munsu]

Well, I love Denis Leary... I guess I should give Rescue Me a try when I get the chance.

[TwisT]

Crazy Bud strikes again. Well Heroes seems like it will be an awesome show. Number 1 on my list of these new series.

[Cloud 9]

Hmm.. the shows I watch weekly, in order of favorites:

24
Lost
The Shield
Prison Break
Invasion (is it true that ABC cancelled this?)
Medium

I sort of like The 4400, but I didn't really watch it weekly. I might start watching the new season when it comes out, I don't know. There's also an upcoming show on FOX which seems good, something about a government conspiracy and some girl (I forgot the name). It's made by the same people who did 24, so of course I've gotta see it.

Edit: oops, forgot a series.

[Munsu]

Invasion (is it true that ABC cancelled this?)

Yes it has been cancelled, I still have a little bit of hope that Sci-Fi or The CW will pick it up.

Been watching a couple of series this summer season. Saw the premiere of Saved and Windfall. Saved was pretty good in my opinion, loved the main character. I also saw the premiere of Windfall, didn't care much for it, I doubt I'll keep watching. The season premiere of The 4400 was pretty good, i'll make a thread for it later on, it's a great series.

Started watching Rescue Me as recommended before, freaking awesome show so far, seen up to episode 6... waiting for the rest to download.

[Munsu]

Been watching some DVD pilot releases for the fall season, and some shows look really promising. Wonder if any of you have checked them out by any chance. All torrents can be found at http://eztvefnet.org/

The Nine: I thought the first episode was awesome, really promising.
http://www.bt-chat.com/download.php?...61e28de2960730

Runaway: Not the best show out there, but first episode was fairly interesting to me. Seemed kinda cheesy at some points, but I'll watch it when it starts.

Shark: Show with James Woods? Instant winner to me, I love him.
http://www.bt-chat.com/download.php?...ee6b28a82fd609

Jericho: Of all the shows, this one was the one I most wanted to check out. Turned out to be a very promising beginning, hope it stays that way throughout the whole series.

Aside from these, I've watched a couple of shows that premiered this summer:

Kyle XY, not as good as I thought it would be. Kinda dumb most of the time.

Blade: Much better than what I expected. Couple of Vampire hotties keeps it interesting. It's also more violent than what I had expected.

Psych: Fun first episode. If you like shows like Monk, you'll probably enjoy this.

And as I mentioned in a previous post, I've been watching Saved. Pretty good show, really interesting characters.

Also, last week I saw all 5 seasons of The Shield. Fucking awesome show, if any of you hasn't watched it yet, then go do that now.

[Genma]

Arrggggh. What about The Office, guys?

[Munsu]

Never bothered with The Office. Been a while since I cared to watch any sort of sitcom.


Another DVD screener pilot has been released, and this one looks pretty good also, I liked it.

Some potentially good series are coming this Fall, you guys should really check some of them out.
