the inclusion of music i like can sucker me into watching even the worst show (ie: Charmed)

Mordy, Friday, 2 March 2012 03:51 (1 year ago) Permalink

I thought Awake was pretty good (I didn't pre-screen the pilot), however they're gonna have to dumb it down a little for Joe TV Watcher because even I was having trouble getting me bearings between Wife World and Son World.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 March 2012 05:17 (1 year ago) Permalink

see, one is the world where the wife is dead and the other is the one where the son is dead.

(jk, i couldn't tell you which partner or shrink went to each one)

Mordy, Friday, 2 March 2012 05:18 (1 year ago) Permalink

I figured the female shrink was in Son World and the male shrink was in Wife World, but I've already forgotten which cops go with which world.

I think having been savaged by L O S T made me allergic to these high-concept shows.

i've been looking for a new / old tv show to watch to eat up time, and the 'ads' for lost on hulu keep coming up and for a second i think, yeah, be good to see them pushing buttons in the hatch again, etc., but then i just sort of remember the whole general feeling of being dicked over by the writers/producers/showrunners and think... fuck it.

Just watch it until Charlie dies. After that, it's largely nonsense.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 March 2012 05:41 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah, I prolly wouldn't mind watching it again through the end of season 5 and just pretending that it finished on a super nihilistic note.

so Awake is worth a shot? i like the concept, but it seems doubtful to survive because of it

Nhex, Friday, 2 March 2012 05:56 (1 year ago) Permalink

Haven't seen it, but reviews have been pretty good-to-great, but a combination of Kyle Killen + That NBC timeslot makes me think no, it won't survive.

Also lots of good TV shows to catch up on if you want. Vampire Diaries is worth it, imo, and its first two seasons are on Netflix Instant. Spartacus is going on and its pretty next level right now.

well, i was hoping not to re-subscribe to netflix.

but i've kind of been feeling like re-screening the shield, so i might just have to. the cop shows still on air right now are getting dire.

Terra Nova axed. Studio is shopping it around.

Maybe they should work on making it better first

Mordy, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 04:31 (1 year ago) Permalink

i like Smash and that isn't too predictably his but Terra Nova and Falling Skies are just the shittiest Spielberg-by-numbers TV shows he possibly could've made, couldn't even bring myself to watch an episode of The River

some dude, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 04:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

First episode of Awake was solid. Second one is sitting there on my DVR.

Watched a bit of The Finder and found is very pleasant in that USA Network blue sky sort of way.

The opening bit about dubstep and "the drop" on Up All Night was pretty lol last night.

bob's burgers s2 started last night and it was pretty great - anyone else watch it? tina is like my favorite character on any tv show right now, loved her leaving a post-it note with "tina" on it in her bed.

I was out at dinner and didn't know Bob's Burgers was coming back on yesterday! I even brought the show up in conversation!

I forgot to dvr it. Hope it's on ondemand or hulu...

Checked...it's not on hulu until next week. :(

Johnny Fever, Monday, 12 March 2012 17:43 (1 year ago) Permalink

It was so good, although I didn't really get that it was a Goonies tribute until right towards the end.

that terrible Revenge show that i have had to assume you guys only like ironically now has an ABC News spinoff about real tales of revenge called...REVENGE FOR REAL

some dude, Thursday, 15 March 2012 02:57 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah, the real Revenge is on break until April...so expect a couple more weeks of this dumb shit.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 15 March 2012 02:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

Also, I can't speak for any other ilxors, but I love that show with zero irony attached.

now i'm going to be envisioning _______ FOR REAL newsmagazine versions of every drama on the primetime schedule

some dude, Thursday, 15 March 2012 03:04 (1 year ago) Permalink

ok that spinoff sounds deep level retarded but 'revenge' is p much the only good new show

Mordy, Saturday, 17 March 2012 04:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

haha i have to admit that revenge didn't really hold its appeal for me and i gave up months ago. then i saw the promos for that real revenge show and was very confused.

2 weeks pass...

Did anybody keep up with Alcatraz? (if only because it was J. J. Abrams and featured "Hurley" and a hot chick with short blond hair).

the season finale surprise was pretty good

Anyone else kind of anticipating <i>NYC-22</i>? The creator is Richard Price, so ~*hopefully*~ not your average network cop show.

Où sont le Lord Custos d'antan? (Leee), Sunday, 15 April 2012 23:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

I'm hoping it's up On Demand or something, because my Sunday night television line-up is too busy as it is.

just as i wrote that, i saw MZS tweeting his review: http://www.vulture.com/2012/04/tv-review-nyc-22.html

No one seems to like it much, and yes, waaay to much good on Sunday right now.

scandal, anyone? i was thinking it felt like lie to me, and then one of the dudes from lie to me showed up!

watched the premiere episode of 'the pitch' - reality show about ad agencies competing for clients. i like this idea for a show!

tehresa, Monday, 16 April 2012 01:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

"Scandal" was aight, nice cast but i really couldn't bring myself to give my full attention to either episode, don't know if I'll make myself watch another.

kept up with "Alcatraz" for several episodes and liked it a lot, but also just felt kind of an indifference to the plot and once i fell behind i stopped trying to catch up. if the finale was good i will make an effort to see that one, though.

some dude, Monday, 16 April 2012 01:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

saw ad for 'bunheads' before the movie last night which is new amy sherman palladino thing strangely set in small town filled with quirky people.

keythhtyek, Monday, 16 April 2012 01:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

me too, my wife and I keep saying "so you want to be a bunhead" and cracking up. Such a terrible name.

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 16 April 2012 02:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

have you seen the thick of it mordy?

haven't seen more eps of thick of it, but saw in the loop finally and liked it a lot. maybe an american thick of it is all i need? i've started to hear good early buzz too so we'll see...

Mordy, Monday, 16 April 2012 04:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

I heard mixed-to-not-great-buzz about Veep, but now I'm hearing good buzz. I'm starting to think that buzz is a load of bullshit.
