We need a TV thread dont we?

[xneverwherex]

Shows I watch/dvr regularly:
Rescue Me (Denis Leary in anything really)
Burn Notice
Lost
and Skins (through netflix - although next season i expect to watch on bbc)
Damages

and of course, hockey!

on dvd: the job, veronica mars and freaks & geeks I cant live without!

My Name Is Earl got canceled today by NBC    Rumour is that Fox might pick it up 

[eltee]

Oh, I almost forgot to mention:
I adore 30 Rock.
Rescue Me is still good.
I had a taping conflict w/ HIMYM but plan to catch up over the summer, as I will w/House.
I got a couple of people at work into "Lie to Me". The acting by the co-stars (or is it the writing?) is a little hokey but I like the local setting and dig Tim Roth. (Plus, I'm getting very good at "micro-facial expression determination")
I did like "Samantha Who?" and it's gone.
Earl has slipped on my list & I take it for granted b/c it's still solid - hopefully Fox will pick it up.
thanks for the Skins recommend.

Why haven't we had a LOST thread, strictly for LOST?

Did we have to wait until Season 5 was over or WHAT?!

If only there was a way to create new thread's in this board?

I wonder when NBC turns into Nothing But Crap seeing as how I expect things to really go down hill when Leno tanks in Prime Time.  Worst programming decision ever.... I'm guessin' it wont take long before their lineup is Leno + annoying reality TV shit.  Besides canceling Earl and keeping that craptastic Parks and Rec show is beyond me...

It's little wonder the best TV is on cable these days with Breaking Bad and Rescue Me.

Diggin' this quote from Ethan Supple's twitter

Why I love Greg Garcia(MNIE creator): when asked how he feels about nbc "It?s hard to be too upset about being thrown off the Titanic."

Lost
30 Rock
Antiques Roadshow
True Blood
Mad Men
In Treatment
Big Love

I'm a big fan of most of the stuff on HBO. I tried to watch Breaking Bad, but it was a little too intense and I was unable to go to sleep...

We do need a Lost thread...

And how could I forget the dead brilliant "The IT Crowd" on IFC.   I can see why the internet was a buzz when it first aired in the UK.



Don't know if anyone around here watched "Green Wing" when it was on BBCAmerica or not, but Kosmette got one of the "special" DVD players and order the series DVD from the UK, and oh my was it far more racey when it was aired in the UK.

Also, have been enjoying the recent Masterpiece theater adaptations of Dickens and Castle on ABC.

I think another thread re: Netflix or a TV season lead into a LOST discussion when the series started...(I haven't watched the finale episode this season so no spoilers please or announce them as such.

-Oh, "House" season 4 - the last two episodes were stellar.

-How could I forget: "The Office". The Michael Scott Paper company episodes were hilarious.

-I think I will miss "The Riches" and "Pushing Daisies" most of all.

-My mom met Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson at some arts event and Tom said he has a new series out this fall...

Gossip Girl

EW is on Twitter and said no go on GG spinoff.
You or Julian would know - isn't there a Melrose Place redux?

Clearly I watch to much TV...  But Leverage on TNT with Timothy Hutton is a very good con job caper show like early seasons of the UK's Hustle.  Some great characters in that series, plus it has the actress who played Jane on Coupling.

MI-5 is an excellent example of why the BBC's decision to order less episodes for a season verses US network TV is a good thing.  Which why HBO, TNT, AMC, Fx are all doing great things with their series and shorter runs.

And who could forget Torchwood or Doctor Who!  Will be very interesting to see what Doctor Who is like with a new Doctor.
