Watched Sharktank on dvr last night. I love this show.

Watching Twin Peaks right now. Cool as hell, and the 90 minute opener just felt like I watched three 30 minute episodes in a row rather than a long winded film. Can't wait to get stuck into the rest.

Getting very into this at the moment. Not half as corny as you would think, and it has Silas Weir Mitchell in it ("Haywire" from "Prison Break) --- plus it's been renewed, always good to know.

Mind you, I think they tipped their hand too early by revealing
Spoiler for read spoiler:
the captain's divided loyalties. Hard to look at the guys reporting to him now and not scream "NO! He's a BAD GUY!"
Think that should have been held off for maybe a season finale?

Watching Home Movies and Spaced on Netflix right now. I love Home Movies, the show is brilliant and the humor is fast and furious. The kids in the show are so age-inappropriate, but somehow vaguely realistic at the same time. It's fairly short, too, which makes it easy for us who like to watch a show until it's finished. :o:

I just started watching Spaced yesterday while I was lounging in a sick daze. Seems pretty funny so far, but it's not nearly as fast as I want it to be. I love slow paced movies that take time to build up everything. A thirty-minute sitcom, however, should be fast paced and witty, not plodding along. Anyway, I'll stick it out. I hear nothing but good things about the show, there has to be something there.

And soon I'll be watching the first season of Hell On Wheels, since that too is on Netflix instant play. Looks promising.

Stick with Spaced Blaro; it's pure gold. If you're any sort of a geek the references in it will just make you laugh and nod so much your head will be in danger of falling off. It's just the two series but each episode is brilliant. Wish there were more.

Looking forward to "Hell on wheels" myself, due to start over here "for the new season", whatever that means....

Love that show.

Spoiler for Grimm:
And I love knowing about the captain. It adds tension and makes the show more interesting. My only problem is Nick's girlfriend. I like her as a character, but I'm a cheesy bastard and I prefer for my main characters to not be involved with characters that look to be the character that they'll be with when the series ends. I like to be involved with the build up of the relationship, so that it's more meaningful.


Oh and I saw that you were watching Revenge. That would be me who mentioned it, as I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who's mentioned it on this site. What the hell are you doing watching that show, Mr. I Don't Like Soap Operas? ;)

Oh now! Revenge ain't a soap opera! You wanna compare that to the likes of "Eastenders" and "Coronation St"? Remember, over here our soaps are a LOT less glamourous. They use words like "gritty", "realistic" and "dark", which just means they're depressing and boring and each copies the storylines of the others. Had a rape in one? Why, wait a few weeks and it'll happen in the others! Weddings? Don't talk to me about weddings! And as for long-lost children/relatives/friends/parents..... soaps: ya can keep them!

Anyway, wouldn't you watch just to see Madeline Stowe and her English friend? Can't remember her name... Nicky? No. Tara? Nah that's "True Blood". Jessica? Ah you know her, the organiser...
