neville just can't handle the sheer awe of Jeffster

no, the first two episodes were just so Hollywood-awful, I deleted the series pass.
Maybe it got better, but there's only so much hokey bullshit I can ignore before I get annoyed.

The first episode's "reboot stopped a bomb" baloney used up 98% of that buffer.

well it's a good thing you stopped because I don't know if I could have handled someone else whining about things that don't actually matter

Unbelievable, obnoxious premises do matter.
Whose whining? I explained why I didn't like it.

well it's a really good show that doesn't really give a shit about being 100% scientifically accurate and I've made my peace with that

mainly because that stuff rarely bothers me anyways but still

If you tell me I will enjoy it, I will give it another shot... for you, Geebs.

Centipede Damascus

Neville what if I told you that Chuck is one of the extremely rare things that both Geebs and I enjoy

Balefuego

The music of the universe

DJ Eebs

neville the first two episodes of chuck are the weakest two of the entire series, it's almost nothing but uphill from there (it dips a bit at the 3D episode but that's it)

Balefuego

the 2nd episode of Chuck is probably the only one I didnt like

Alright. I will give this show another go.

For Centipede and Geebs!

DJ Eebs

so I'm watching the first episode of chuck and I didn't realize that they replaced beckman

also the birthday party is painful to watch

so many waaaaaay too close shots of ladies that aren't that attractive

cooljammer00

What are we talking about, how Chuck turned people off with its pilot? I know it made me want to punch things.

But I hear it'll be back, at severely reduced pay and on Friday Nights.

All these shows are getting renewed this year (Better Off Ted also), and I might actually have to start watching them. It's a shame networks are only now realizing that Nielsens don't mean jack. Too late for Pushing Daisies and Firefly.

Balefuego

I thought the pilot was good

the 2nd episode sucked (the one with the helicopter)

UnbreakableVow

I may give Chuck a shot as soon as I'm done with season one of Psych.

Also, I've been watching more TV on DVD lately and catching people from other shows that I didn't notice before.

Juliet from Lost on House!
Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on Lost!
Andy from The Office on Arrested Development!

Cut throat bitch from House was in most of the first season of Mad Men and I didn't even notice until like two weeks ago. And I watch both shows religiously.

DJ Eebs

cut throat bitch was also on how I met your mother

she's in both seasons, actually. though i think she showed up a little less in the second season because betty was hanging out with her horse friends more.

cooljammer00

She was also on Criminal Intent where she was banging Chekov and his wessels.

I actually notice Dennis from Always Sunny in a lot of things. He's the Reaver victim in Serenity.

I love Family Guy and American Dad.

Do we try to be shocked you love terrible things?
Or do we just nod and move on?

Kind of weird how The Before/After cancellation versions of Family Guy, and also American Dad, are like three phases of McFarlane's descent from working on wit and good stupid comedy, to just focussing on lower grade stupid comedy.

It's almost as if they're running a business!

I get that attitude, Tube. Networks gotta make money, nothing wrong with that.

But sometimes it's nice when a show has a beginning, middle, and an end, without being dragged out as far as it can possibly go.

There are not many shows which are allowed to do this.

Tube

I doubt there were many people on Prison Break saying "come on guys, the arc is done! fire us!"

Goatmon

I have never actually seen Prison Break. It was just a general observation.

I'm tempted to look the show up, now.

satansfingers

i just feel like they should've gone with a different name, really

SA

Escape would have been a good name.

Its vague enough to provide tons of widely different scenarios while staying true to the direction of the series.

cooljammer00

The fact that the name was so wildly inappropriate just shows that every season after the first one was an ass pull.

Allegedly, the Prison Break movie thing will go back to dealing with another Prison Break, so at least they have that going for them.

So I bought Freaks and Geeks on dvd. I need to watch awesome shows that were cancelled to fuel my righteous anger.

Zim is my go-to "cancelled before it should have been" show.

Pushing Daisies for me

also Firefly, to beat the dead horse

Have you seen the final 3 episodes yet? They've aired in the UK, but Jesus Christ...what a way to end it. It both brings closure and no closure at all. I want one more episode, that's it.

Darth_Mogs

Prison Break really could have ended earlier and I would have been satisfied with what was there. I had a soft spot for it because I watched it with my dad a lot. The way it turned out, I'm not too happy with the ending they gave it. I don't think it was necessarily bad how it was, I just didn't think it was necessary. But I still enjoyed the show.

I really didn't know King of the Hill was still on until I saw a new episode about a month ago. I hope Adult Swim gets more than the first few seasons to work with. (That's kinda what it seems like they're airing currently.)

No, I haven't, and I'll thank you not to spoil them for me.

Well, you can wait till the 30th when they start burning them off here in the US.

Taramoor

Sarah Connor Chron looks kaput.

Also The Unusuals

Without a Trace may also not make it back, though Cold Case will. Which is good, since they feel like the same show most of the time.

A shame, really.

WAAAAAAAAAAAALT

Dislexic

goddamnit, just as T:TSCC was starting to really get interesting

NotASenator

The fact that it took that long to actually get interesting says something, doesn't it?

Dislexic

no, it was interesting the whole way through, but the last three episodes brought in a MAJOR game-changer

Starfuck

sad about sarah
was hoping they'd wait until salvation came out to see if they could get a viewership boost from that
kind of cheesed off about it though as the ending leaves some pretty big gaping holes in an terminator mythology

i recorded a few unusuals, guess i'll just delete them now

yay dollhouse, yay

spono

holy shit that last episode of fringe was good

Nik Huze

Been watching Southland. I love the hell out of it, but damn it is fucking depressing.

Monoxide

I was saying the other day that Southland really needs some kind of cohesive plot to develop if it wants to continue to hold my interest

I do think they've got a great premise going and I like the show as it is

but there's really no driving force to keep up on it from week to week. if they'd start to introduce some 'villains' in the gangs they could go in a more Wire-like direction, or if they'd give us a reason to care about these characters that would be fine too.

the current format just seems really sporadic. it's not even monster-of-the-week, it's just "here's some random crimes with some random character development in between"

Aretè

maaaaaaaaaaaan, why did t hey gotta go and axe Life.

Centipede Damascus

if you ask me, Fox ought to pick up Life

they are badly in need of some good shows

I mean, look what they're debuting in the fall:

thorgot

that looks so awful

I Win Swordfights

I will be so angry if Reaper is not picked up.
