Title: What (TV) are you watching?
Martin - February 8, 2011 12:32 AM (GMT)
Seen any good stuff lately? Ive been watching Macross Frontier on DVD and am starting to watch Lexx Series 1 as Lovefilm is sending the disks gradually my way. Mainly so that I can get to Season 3 and perv on Xenia Seeberg... she was HOT in 1998.
:D
EDIT: Can a mod put TV in brackets in the title so as to distinguish this thread more from the film one please? :)

'Episodes' is quite good despite having that bloke in that murdered Dirk Gently. And I know some people hate it but I love 'The Big Bang Theory'. Has me in stitches. Also, have you seen 'The Ricky Gervais Show'? Like cartoons of his podcasts with Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Hilarious.

Done :)

Thanks trace! Yeah I love big bang theory too! Only because I see a bit of myself in the characters though (albeit a much less intelligent bit!)
Gotta say though... Is it ok to be racist towards Indian people in the US? BBT goes very near the knuckle sometimes, as does stuff like =3.
Oh yes, and you could always watch the hundred and thirty something episodes of the above on YouTube if you're bored. Ray William Johnson always cracks me up.

Series 2 is on virgin on demand ATM...
mart609 - February 9, 2011 09:04 AM (GMT)
I'm already halfway through series 4 :D
Andy - February 9, 2011 11:39 AM (GMT)
I watched the first couple of "Episodes" and it didn't really float my boat to be honest.
A couple of other people have recommended TBBT to me, I'll have to see about ordering the box set of that, too :)
Does anyone watch How TV Ruined Your Life on BBC2? I really like it, I've always quite liked Charlie Brooker but I'm really enjoying the stuff he's been doing lately. Really smart, witty, wordy (but not too overly so) observations on how television has evolved and affected/reflected real life over the years.

Time for the pin on this badboy :)

Watched the first episode of Generation Kill again last night after buying it off amazon the other day. Just confirmed to me what an awesome show it was. Dunno if reading the book first helped me appreciate it more too. Both come recommend to anyone with a dark sense of humour who likes military type stuff.

Started watching Torchwood this week. What is it that makes all these BBC type Sci fi things so British ? Surely it cant be just the setting and actors? Theres some kind of atmosphere or feel thing going on that I cant put my finger on...
Martin - February 23, 2011 10:01 PM (GMT)
Lock n Load baby! (Actually... gonna give this one a thread.) ;)
mart609 - March 1, 2011 05:04 PM (GMT)
just finished season 5 of CSI the last 2 episodes were directed by quentin tarentino, you could really see the influence tarentino made in them, in some scenes and the dialogue, you think when your watching 'thats so tarentino' B)
mart609 - March 16, 2011 10:24 AM (GMT)

Just Finished Season 6 of CSI, onto season 7 now
also just finished the last episode of Highlander so now i need something else to start on
thinking of trying the late 90's scifi series First Wave
hadyn - June 12, 2011 10:56 AM (GMT)
Getting into Southland in a big way at the moment.
It's a top quality US cop show, which has a very interesting humanist angle to it. The good and bad guys are clearly defined (unlike other good US cop shows like The Shield and Wire etc) but it really does make riveting viewing.
Check it out and you can get both series on Virgin On Demand if you've got it.

Same here really. I dont do Cop shows unless they're about corrupt coppers walking the line.
Southland is beyond cool though :thumbs:
