I never could get into that one. I just started watching Life, I got sucked in pretty quick. I kind of want to see him really go off on someone.

Pushing Daisies is pretty interesting too.

Pushing Daisies is right on the edge of getting canceled, so I've heard. I like Life too.

I currently love watching the ridiculous Saturday evening BBC1 show "Hole In The Wall". C-list celebrities dress in silver spandex and helmets and have to jump through a wall with strange shaped holes in it travelling towards them at high speed before it knocks them into a pool of water. Yes, it was originally Japanese.


i saw a few minutes of that the other night witht he wee girl from hollyoaks on it............. dear god what are those people on???? i had to turn over, the bulges were scaring me and the woman and i had just eaten.

I'm enjoying Fringe this year much more than Heroes.


I'm totally in agreement with you. I've reached the point where i think i may be watching Heroes out of stubborness and genre loyalty more than actual likey.

I was until the last episode, which was all over the place in terms of characterization ...If the event was that traumatising, it would have affected her personality in previous episodes too.
Sir Thursday


There were only like a total of five episodes at that point. Do you expect the show to show you EVERYTHING about EVERYONE in the first 44min segment?

Put another way, it's hardly a novel idea that someone would act differently on their birthday/anniversary of a traumatic event than any other day.

Out of fondness for Slater back when he was cool (it was about seventeen days back in the early nineties, most of you missed it) i tried, but it was just too predictable, weak and unitneresting for me.

every time i think reality tv has sunk as low as it can go, it digs down a little lower...

This season, i have settled on Terminator, Heroes (see above), Fringe, and House (and So You Think You Can Dance Canada but we don't need to talk about that... shut up... i hear you laughing over there i said shut it...) .
Am eagerly anticipating the return of Lost, Battlestar Galactica and yes, The L Word (you heard me say shut it, right? right?) .
Am also looking forward to Dollhouse, altho am skeptical whether Joss can make it work.

In which case, you will be disappointed to hear that you have missed Neil and Christine Hamilton AND Vanessa Feltz dressed in silver spandex and negotiating the wall!!

For those who don't sit down in front of the tube to watch the FX Network at 10/9 central on Tuesday nights, I weep for you. The greatest cop show of all time and possibly the best show of all time comes to a close this week when The Shield takes its final 90 minute bow. From the first episode when Vic puts a bullet into Terry to last week's chilling confession of the Strike Team's criminal enterprise, this show has managed to up the tempo each and every week it's aired these last 7 years. I just wish that the FCC would would have given Shawn Ryan his F-bomb last week. It would have made Claudette's breakdown at finding Vic had full immunity even better.

Do you work for The Shield by any chance? :rant:

The Wire is superior in every way.

Lord help me! I started watching The L Word, because, well, I was curious, and now I can't stop. Great characters and gratuitous girl-on-girl scenes are win in my book.

I ended up watching an episode of something called Wipeout, and I couldn't stop laughing. Does that make me a bad person?

That would be a negative. I have started watching The Wire recently (woohoo half off HBO boxes at Best Buy) and am currently halfway through season 3. I still say The Shield is better, though. However, I can see where the storyline is going and can definitely see this show matching or surpassing The Shield in season 4 or 5.

Oh I'm sure I missed the boat on this one but I was off sick on Tuesday, so I spent it in bed watching Season 1 of The Wire which turns out to be even better than everyone says.
If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

OK, I've nearly exhausted my TV viewing, and am looking for something else to pass the time.

One series i heard a few people mention but i've never seen is Eureka.
Is that worth watching?

I love Eureka, a town full of geniuses except for the sheriff who is not but usually the person that saves the day. Very quirky with great toys. One episode was about a dog show - best of breeds but all the dogs are mechanical, ends up the winner cheated and substituted a mechanical dog for a real one. Lots of interesting characters, science gone wild.

Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait until the summer to see more of it :p. I've enjoyed what I've seen thus far though, although I thought its latest attempt at an extended story arc fell a little flat in Season 3.
