Title: TVshows you love.
Post by: Wei Yan on 23 November 2012, 16:10
Name your favorite tv shows and discuss them.

I'm currently following How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory for the lulz, even though imo both have regressed alot in funniness compared to the first seasons.
I've also started watching the early seasons of Top Gear UK. Already made me look around to buy a Jag even though my current car is still completely fine.

Other than that I'm hopelessly waiting for Season 3 of Game Of Thrones.

I'm also considering starting to watch Breaking Bad, can anyone recommend it?

Lie To Me.

Breaking bad is incredible!
It really makes you feel for the characters and it's very well written :)

Can't bring myself to start whatching the latest season since they're very found of cliffhangers. I prefere whatching an episode per day, atleast :P

Whatched first episode of new season in Walking Dead yesterday, can't say I'm that interested anymore. Still seems to follow the "something happens, nothing happens for 40min, CLIFFHANGER!!!!!"-script, and I don't care for it at all -.-

Breaking Bad is a show running on AMC, which is a channel known for running shows that have insane-yet-close-to-reality plots. If you're into insane, close-to-realistic, funny and ~shocking~ shows, Breaking Bad is just down your alley. Walking Dead as well, if you don't mind apocalyptic scenarios.

My personal favorite is, by far, Doctor Who (2005).

Non-fictional shows I'd recommend:
An Idiot Abroad (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1702042/)
The cynical and real-life version of Homer Simpson travels the world. You enjoy it because he does not!

Penn & Teller: Bullshit! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346369/)
Ever seen or heard anything you think is "a bit off"? An extensive research-team thoroughly examines what they believe is bullshit, and Penn & Teller presents it to you.

I'm also considering starting to watch Breaking Bad, can anyone recommend it?

I loved the first 3 seasons, haven't watched the 4th since the show sorta lost my interest and I haven't been able to get back to it since.

I recently started watching "The Walking Dead" and I must say it looks promising :) I finished the first season of "Homeland" and it's really good.

Dexter
Big bang theory

Game of Thrones is awesome, have read all the books too.

Older stuff

Father Ted
Extras (even though you often have to watch it cringing behind a cushion at Ricky Gervais).

I constantly watch all of the shit the History Channel churns out:

Pawn Stars
Storage Wars
American Guns
Cajun Porn Stars
Storage Wars Texas
American Pickers

But I can't do Ice Road Truckers. It is too shit even for me, and all I watch is shit TV.

Also Wei, recent Top Gear episodes (last 4 years or so) have just become ridiculous, but incredibly entertaining. Great TV, but not so good for car-buying advice.

Actually Top Gear has pretty much pushed me toward buying a 03-04 XJ-R Jaguar as my next car. It will cost me an arm and a leg for gas costs, but I waaaaaaaaaant it.

My favourites are House, Lexx, Grimm, Person of Interest, Fringe.

Lexx is an oldie and House has ended, so currently it's the last three. But my favourite of the favourites is Grimm. :)

And Lexx was very funny.

"(sings) You need a man, red-hot loving Stan. If you want to be satisfied, I'm your guy, forget Kai."
"You need me-e, seven-ninty! I'm the technology for thee, sweet pea."
"No-o, me-e."
"Me!"
"Me."
"Me! Why should she want you?"
"Because I'm a man, you're a can."
"You're a man, that's news."
"Well you're a can, not news."

Currently watching: Vikings (just saw the first episode, it's great) The Walking Dead and soon, so soon Game of Thrones season III. :)
Title: Re: TVshows you love.
Post by: Lotteke on 8 March 2013, 16:59
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is still the best vampire focused tv series imo.
True Blood, but season 5 was really disappointing.
also watching Vampire Diaries, but only to get through the months waiting for new True Blood episodes.
Roseanne
The Office US
The Big Bang Theory

trying to get into Supernatural, but it isn't dragging me in like other series do.

Breaking Bad has been so immensly good even tho I've totally been hatin' on some characters latelyl.

I watch Walking Dead and Game of Thrones religiously... reminds me need to rewatch GoT . :)
Title: Re: TVshows you love.
Post by: Tussienou on 22 April 2013, 14:45
The Walking Dead... My weekly dose of zombies.
Game of Thrones... of course. <3
Battlestar Galactica... is finished and a great show if you are into Sci Fi. :)
Sons of Anarchy... used to be better but I will still watch it til the end.
Doctor Who (2005-)... It's special in it's own way and I absolutely love it. Seasons 2-5 were best in my opinion. I like the seasons with David Tennant the most. He is brilliant.. ;o
American horror Story... I enjoyed season 1 but I haven't watched season 2. There are different stories for each season.
Once Upon a Time... Need something to counter the weekly zombie dose so weekly fairytale dose is needed!


Next on my list to watch is Firefly since it's supposed to be great! I'm just sad that there is only 1 season available. :'(

As someone who loves to watch shows here's my list (most have been listed before):

I probably forgot a lot of shows that have ended already.
 I'm up-to-date with most of them, some have ended unfortunately though :'(

Post by: Barlowe on 27 May 2015, 02:52
Currently following:

- 'The Musketeers', BBC. Great take on the characters by Dumas, but with original storylines. I modelled my Thief after the Musketeer uniforms from this series. Also worth watching for great fencing choreography.
- 'Person of Interest'. Raises interesting questions about the possibilities and dangers of AI. Solid acting, good score.
- 'Penny Dreadful'. Victorian London Horror with Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, witches and everything in between. Also, an impossibly handsome Timothy Dalton that I hope to rival when I reach his age. I mean, damn.
- 'Castle'. It's about a writer helping cops and the writer is played by Nathan Fillion. Formulaic but fun.

I have greatly enjoyed:

- 'Battlestar Galactica', 2004 version. Probably the most amazing TV I've seen, period.
- 'Chuck'. Funny, dramatic, Scrubs-tier music choices and a heavy, severely unhealthy crush on Yvonne Strahovski.
- 'Scrubs'. Funniest show, period.
- 'Firefly'. Needs no explanation.
- 'Supernatural'. Still going, but I choose to think it ended a few seconds before the end of season 5.

Seen that. Can confirm severely unhealthy crush.

Currently watching the Arrow/Flash combo. Which is not bad at all =) Also seen the pilot episode for Lucifer. Really looking forward to more episodes from that. The pilot episode looked amazing.
