Title: What TV shows are everyone circle jerking over now?
Post by: Candyflip on April 24, 2007, 01:05:03 AM: I pretty much unconsciously ignore any TV-related threads. I've never been big on TV. However, I'm bored, I don't want to sleep, I'm out of weed, and I have internet. Soooooo what's a series that's decent? Open to pretty much anything other than Lost. I'm also not sure if I'd like 24 from what I've heard of it. But other than those, any suggestions are good. What to download?

Post by: Phoenix Dark on April 24, 2007, 01:19:16 AM: 24 season 2. It's funny though, I've been pretty busy recently so I haven't watched episodes. I'll start against tomorrow. For the most part it's pretty good, but not better than the first season. There was a point where it really surpassed the first season but Kim's bullshit has really been hurting the show.

Last thing that happened: she gets kidnapped in a grocery store by some crazy Messican dude going crazy over the bomb.

That was annoying as hell. But oh well, there's also been awesome stuff.

How can you knock on the Law & Order series, though? Honestly. I can understand almost everything else, but L&O? Malek, I am sad now.

I don't know how you can watch "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" nikki. I watched it once since my dad had it on and each question took about 3 minutes. It was painful to watch. I just wanted Jeff Foxworthy to shut the fuck up.

There is nothing wrong with L&O, well it hasn't been the same since Orbach died, but SVU is all gold.

My best friend and I watch it every week before Grey's comes on. My theory is that the producers actually tell the contestants to talk out the questions and drag them out like that to make the show longer or whatever. It annoys me too, but I like the show. There are no other game shows where I get 98% of the answers correct. [This makes me think I should try out for it, and if it ever came around, I would. Honestly.]

& Father Mike, you're right, the original L&O is kind of empty without Jerry but it's still good. SVU though? Is THE SHIT.

That's all I really have time for, although my roommates are dragging me into Entourage which is ok because it fills BSGs slot.

Heroes is pretty decent.

Post by: Fresh Prince on April 25, 2007, 02:12:55 AM: L&O is lazy TV programming just shit ripped from the news. The personal detectives stories are always contrived and only Onfario can pull that shit off with any emotion. The other detectives are better playing cardboard stereotypes acting off some good victim/criminal acting.

And of course, LOST. Still the best show on television.
