Banged up abroad (aka locked up abroad) isnt always great, and a lot of the episodes and stories seem very very similar.

But this episode they showed on 1 of the UK channels this week, is absolutely INSANE.

Im pretty sure i mentioned the shield somewhere. It was really good. Something totally different. Mackeys rap sheet is longer than any villain in tv history, and hes the good guy. Absolutely hillarious the mafiaesque lengths he will go to to get his way.

I'm watching the walking dead. It's pretty bad right now though.

I love spartacus. Not a great series but i just love it.

Game of thrones next month

Oh yea big bang theory too.

Dexter aswell but that went downhill too.

 

[Master50]

The last TV drama I followed through the entire series was Hill Street Blues, The first season of house and occasional visits to the wire.

Today I watch Big Bang Theory as about the only TV series I watch regularly.

Nova. Daily Planet, Frontline, 60 minutes Science programs are generally what I watch from TV and of course Movies.

For as much TV as I watch I mostly hate it all.

 

[screaming fist]

No mention of Twin Peaks yet? The feeling you got watching that series is unmatched by anything else.

Best show ever of course.

Good to see Dexter and Breaking Bad on their last series. After so many series, the ideas and scripts lose their impact. I still thought the last series of Dexter was much better than the previous one.

Revolution returned last week. Stoked about that.

1. the Heriott series: All Creatures Great and Small
2. Call the Midwife

?. The Wonder Years


Hon Mention
MASH, Hill St Blues, Rocky and Bullwinkle

Lots of good shows, lots. Seinfeld, Law and Order, more. Scrubs can be pretty funny. Not sure how it will look in 10 years.

But GREAT means I can go back and watch reruns and still enjoy them. There were some edu shows on the history of civilization that fall into that category for me - but I can't remember the names of them, and I'd have to dig through my old VCR tapes to find the copies I have.

Of course, ANY of the cycling movies are automatically enjoyable watched more than once. Star Trek, on the other hand, falls into the same category as Gilligan's Island - it was merely the best available at the moment, and retrospect is pretty cringeworthy.

At the time Rocky and Bullwinkle was very funny. MASH still stands up. I never liked Gilligan's Island, Bewitched or the Addam's Family but I liked the Munsters, Hogan's Heroes, I Dream of Jeanie and Mr Ed ! Go figure. But laughter at any time is not a bad thing I suppose. Not sure if Mr Ed would do it for me now but there are enough semi-human politicians around ie horse's asses to suffice.

The **** Cavett Show is the best talk show of all time! I've watched some interviews recently and they hold up amazingly well. There are a lot of them on Youtube.

I'd also recommend the British series "Colditz" (if you can get it on DVD) and "Life" with Damian Lewis.

Life was a quirky show. Liked that one. Cavett show was very good, some great interviews, the type you don't see anymore maybe because Cavett was a reader !

Revolution returned last week. Stoked about that.

Revolution is kind of frustrating because it could be so much better. And because it does not take full advantage of Giancarlo Esposito's amazing talent.

True but for some reason I keep watching it. It's a bit lightweight.

Me too! I like it despite its faults.

That was a fantastic series.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

The Thick Of It. Series 1, Series 2 and The Specials are beyond perfect.

Other faves - Larry Sanders, The League of Gentlemen, Seinfeld, The Office, The Day Today, The Fast Show.

You shouldn't speak of the 'special stuff'... What are you? Some kind of hom...
