That actually explains why he was practically immortal in Die Hard! :P

Anyway, here's something I finally got around to watching
http://aretheyoldenough.com/wp-conte...-nine-nine.jpg
If Scrubs and The Office had a retarded but charming baby, it would be it. Well, to an extent.
I'm 7 episodes into the 1st season and so far I love it. There are few sitcoms that actually make me laugh out loud, and this is one of them.

Me too. I never know when its on though.

We can't get it in the UK so I just torrent each episode. Do you watch any similar stuff?

Vowels I just remembered, if you haven't seen Into The Wild get it watched asap. Don't look up the guy who is in it or the back story cos it will ruin the story (it's a true story btw). Some guy who graduates from college, burns all his money and hitchhikes around the US on his own, making friends then moving on. Then goes to Alaska to live off the land for two years.

It's a film but posting this in here cos I'm monkeytennis, I'll do what I want.

I actually think it might be the best film I have ever seen.

I concur, Into The Wild is a cracker of a movie.

One of my favorite shows of all time was Eastbound and Down. I don't think Danny McBride is any kind of "comedic genius" at all, but that show had me rolling.

Haven't been in this thread for a while, so a little to say:
Love this show, wish it was longer than two seasons though.
I've watched part of it and it keeps getting better.
If you like Bottom then try get Filthy, Rich and Catflap, the sort of prequel to it. It also stars Nigel Planer, reuniting three of the original Young Ones.
Absolutely brilliant show, and what a terrible loss to comedy.
Thing about this is I'm sure I watched a show called "The last ship" but it was about a submarine that was ordered to fire nuclear missiles that woudl have started WW3, didn't and ****ed off to some island somewhere. The Navy were then after them as traitors. When I saw season 2 advertised I thought it was this coming back, but it's a totally different show. I know I didn't dream it...
Warning: watch NO videos, avoid ALL spoilers. You CANNOT predict some of the things that will happen in this show and they will completely blow you away. I envy you.
Yeah well how many times is he gonna say the same thing?
So,more like The Ambling Dead, then?
Looks like he watches that show too and is sick of it.
Who are you calling chicken?
Agree totally. Not everyone has seen everything. I for instance began watching episode one of Entourage yesterday. Hated it, but that's beside the point.
You know he'll do it.
Doesn't matter. Let him make his own mind up.
Absolutely love that show!

As for me, I've been watching and loving "Gangland Undercover", based on the true story of Charlie Falco, a busted drug dealer who cut a deal to infiltrate a big American biker gang. It's almost like watching "Sons of Anarchy" again. I have a terrible feeling it's one of those short deals though, as it appears his mission is almost over, and we're only like six episodes in? Hoping there's a twist that will extend it.

Also chanced Sky's new comedy "You, me and the Apocalypse", and it's surprisingly good. Has Rob Lowe in it. Well worth a watch.

Mr. Charlie was talking about how majestic tigers are, so I posted a picture of a tiger chasing a chicken. There is literally nothing more to that post.

Isn't it a bit contradictory that we can review albums and songs, revealing all sort of details, praise, and/or critiques around here (without spoiler alerts) but yet drop a nutshell about a TV show and folks get up in arms?

I'm going to join a TV show forum just to see if people get pissed when members drop spoilers about music.

:finger:

Well you can describe music in a very in depth manner and the reader would still have to listen to it to fully understand how it sounds because it's near impossible to place a melody in someone's head via description. With TV shows and stuff, you can simply say "Carl shoots his mother when blah blah blah" and it gets the message across very effectively.

Pretty much true. I can describe every solo and vocal and lyric in the new Iron Maiden album, but you're still going to have to listen to it to properly appreciate it. TV shows you just say what happens and you've ruined it for someone. It's like getting the football results before you watch "Match of the Day" (our American friends won't get that). You can't really spoiler an album: I mean, how can you?

Frasier

I honestly just watch this show when I'm looking to lay down and relax. I actually find it quite funny, but I know a lot of people don't think this show is funny at all.

I loved that show with a passion. And I never really watched Cheers. But that was one of the cleverest comedies, certainly American comedies, of all time, imo.

LiL has watched almost the entire series of Cheers so she loves Frazier almost as much as I do. It certainly is clever as well.

Fargo is a pretty interesting show so far. I don't have any idea what the story is supposed to be (based on real life events) so I am just going to enjoy the ride.

Martin Freeman is great, and it's weird seeing him putting on that accent.

It's just a fake disclaimer.
The movie had it as well. While it was somewhat funny for the movie, it got a little annoying and gimmicky seeing it before every damn episode.
The series is alright though.

For sure. Definitely worthy of all of the awards it won.

The Joy Of The Single

Film packed with startling memories, vivid images and penetrating insights into the power of pop and rock's first and most abiding artefact - the seven-inch, vinyl 45 rpm record.

Enjoyed this. It was good.

Music for Misfits: The Story of Indie

Three part series looking at the development of British indie music, born in the 1970s when the music industry was controlled by the major record labels and releasing a record independently seemed an impossible dream.

Excellent watch. Highly recommended.

BBC iPlayer - Music for Misfits: The Story of Indie - 1. The DIY Movement

That's the way I am with Peep Show, it's my go to. Frasier's a pretty good show, it's a nice break from the rest of the **** on daytime television when they show reruns.

I don't know why I'm still watching Supernatural. This **** should have ended ages ago. Also like, they only kept Dean a demon for a few ****ing episodes? What a waste.

I was into demon Dean. Now I guess I'm just sticking around cause I want to **** Crowley.

Reaper > Supernatural

umm...no

Yes.

Nah, sorry dude

Star Trek Deep Space Nine this month! Much better then I remember it being...

Supernatural = Buffy knockoff

Supernat is cool. I don't follow it but the few episodes I've randomly watched were okay. Idk about you but I watched Buffy for the hot girls when I was a kid not because it was a good show.

Batlord mode: THANKS FOR THE ****ING SPOILER!!!!!!!! :mad:

This statement is incorrect. Reaper was awful.
Probably one of the best in the franchise. Season?
You're an idiot. :) There are so many differences, I ... I just don't know where to begin...

This was an entire ****ing season before?
but yeah Buffy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SPN, no ****ing contest
Buffy Summers shaped me into the woman I am today.

I have five seasons yet to watch! You think I get to write all my journals, including Metal Month every year, keep "Love or Hate?" and "The Torture Chamber" going while ALSO getting to watch all my favourite shows?? I have seasons of shows to watch!

Seriously: spoiler anything like that. Just because you haven't seen it does not mean everyone else has!
(Grump over, but you made the list).

ANd wtf has Buffy to do with Supernatural? Answer: nothing. Stop comparing the two shows.

I'm just putting this here.

The basic premise and style of humor are identical. If they've managed to make something of it, then good for them, but it's still a Buffy knockoff at heart.

Same here, girlfriend.

There are similarities, but you could say that about any "hip" show. What about Grimm? Tremors? Dresden Files? Being Human? It's more important how many differences there are:

Sam and Dean are travelling, not static in one location ie Sunnydale
There are basically only two main characters
There is an overall story arc, and while there was one in Buffy, later, it wasn't apparent as it is in Supernatural from the get-go
The boys face generally different monsters most weeks, unlike with Buffy where it's more or less vampires, vampires and, um, vampires. Oh, and vampires.
Main "bad guy" pretty much all through the series (what I've seen of it anyway)

I found it to be highly original, and apart from some superficial similarities, would definitely not compare it to Buffy, which was a totally different animal altogether.

Grimm is most definitely a Buffy knockoff. It's even made by many of the same people.

Not a significant difference.

Not a significant difference.

Different story lines ≠ original series concept

Have you seen Buffy? Robots, giant praying mantises, mummies, zombies, more types of demons than you could shake a stick at, etc.

And it's not an accomplishment that Supernatural doesn't stick to vampires. If it did, then it would be not just a Buffy knockoff, but a complete Buffy clone. It's just common sense for them to try to come up with a premise that they can pass off as original. Like Grimm.

Different story lines ≠ original series concept

Prog dweebs.

Again, the premise is not even vaguely similar, unless you take monster-hunting as the premise, and if you do that you have to include a whole lot more shows.

Go back to your comics, Bat-boy.
:)
Also, just exactly how much of Supernatural have you actually seen? I seem to remember you telling me you watched "the odd episode". Hardly gives you the experience in it that allows you to start comparing it to other shows?

Yes, there are a lot of Buffy knockoffs.

"How can you say you don't like the Beatles when you haven't heard every single song they've ever written?!"

Ah man! You're slipping! You can't compare the two. If you're going to talk about a show, and then compare it to another show, you can't do that by watching one or two episodes. Just doesn't work. Do you even know the arc in Supernatural, what it's all about?

You know who you sound like now, don't you? ;)
