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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
