2012 Fall TV Thread

tbf her father did tell her to go to that specific hotel

Okay, I totally missed that line I guess. Still.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NYC_22

aw fuck i didn't even have a chance to see this! goddammit

what?! Adam Goldberg!? rats. yeah I never even saw this advertised?

bummer

created by Richard Price!

what

the

hell

Yeah I DVRed the first episode of this, but it got accidentally erased and I never saw it.

i only watch tv on my computer and cbs is all proprietary and some of their shit they don't even put on their own web site so i think i might have just thought i would wait it out until i could catch it. but they're such a pain that i forget - maybe they were showing it there while it ran? sigh.

maybe I will consult the torrentz

NYC22 was pretty cheesy. not terrible, but really nothing special

i'd catch it accidentally on saturday nights. it was that kinda show

I don't believe you

:)

i am a fully committed mentalist stan so i am afraid i have to take dismissals of cbs crime dramas with a grain of salt, the cbs old-people aura makes people unwilling to see real quality somehow

Mentalist is shockingly decent, i have to admit. or maybe i still have a crush on that chick from The Craft and Prison Break. I'll still dismiss NCIS/CSI tho

the cbs old-people aura

ooooh. is this why all the colors in cbs shows looks washed out + dull?

The Mentalist is fucking terrible, what the hell are you ppl smoking

I was a longtime CSI fan...I hung with a season of Larry Fishburne and then I was kinda done, it had lost it's shine for me.
I hung with Criminal Minds until last year (mostly dropped it out of boredom/too many other shows to watch)

I watched Medium for a couple of seasons but that just got annoying

I was a longtime CSI fan...I hung with a season of Larry Fishburne and then I was kinda done, it had lost it's shine for me.

I stuck with it until the multi-episode villain for the season was a guy who wore s&m latex and crawled around on all fours. I saw that and said "well, I'm out."

I can't watch procedurals except for First 48.

I'm kind of a sucker for crime dramas - esp serial killers and such, lol

I used to like a lot of procedurals, but now I don't think I watch any. Not sure why.

SVU got too ridiculous even for me, and what's the point without Meloni? I think I watch Investigation Discovery now when I want my murder fix, the story of the old lady who murdered her husband and then blamed it on craigslist was better than anything I've seen on CSI.

having a serial killer with a network of true believers as helpers makes it kind of like when the borg were actually threatening on star trek, every time red john-related stuff comes back up on the mentalist the mood thickens and everyone is all gloomy without talking about it

48 Hours Mystery is still my go-to show for true crime. Think there's a separate true crime show thread too...

Leelee Sobieski as Officer Jennifer "White House" Perry, a Marine MP veteran of the Iraq War

:O

she's... what you expect.

cute?

kicked into a wall by Nic Cage?

oh, how i wish

hey now

you'll always have this: http://youtu.be/e6i2WRreARo

This reminds me, 88 Minutes (with Leelee) is a ridiculous (but funny) movie.

right now i'm watching an amazing piece of shit on the CW called "Mr. Box Office," starring Bill Bellamy, Jon Lovitz, Vivica Fox, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Gary Busey.

O_O

you time traveled back a decade and THAT'S what you're doing with your time????

actually i stepped into the time machine with a rabid donkey and together we were fused into Gary Busey

i'm glad that it looks like elizabeth mitchell is going to be semi-regular on revolution, i'm basically only watching for her + billy burke + giancarlo esposito. if the show has any future i hope they allow the focus to move away from the brother and sister, their perils are p. annoying.

also "monroe" the militia mastermind seems laughably miscast, he has no gravitas or charisma to speak of.

i think i disliked Juliet on Lost enough that her presence is more of a con than a pro for me.

i thought mindy kaling project was funny!

i really liked it

I enjoyed it and Ben and Kate,

oh shit I wanted to see Ben + Kate, the trailer cracked me up

ben and kate was ok, my previous ridiculously obscure crush dakota johnson is in it (1. see her in social network - 'damn, she cute' 2. see her in 21 jumpstreet - 'hey it's that girl from social network' 3. see her in ben and kate - 'ok seriously who is this girl')(she's don johnson and melanie griffith's daughter). watched new girl for first time last night, struck me as less funny my boys - should i keep watching? for some reason i also watched 2 broke girls, i think that seriously might be the worst show i have somehow watched at least six episodes of, worse than mind of the married man.

yeah dakota johnson is ridiculously cute

new girl was good this week but i feel like so far there's a specific handful of episodes from which you'd probably have to see one to get hooked

lol mind of the married man

i'll probably hang w/ new girl, it's got dude from veronica mars in it. i'm an undecided voter but i think i lean 'no' on zoey deschanel, i remember when i first saw almost famous laughing that her bad wooden acting was so similar to patrick fugit's, i almost thought it was intentional since they were playing siblings. i liked her in elf, couldn't last more than ten minutes into 500 days of summer. i'll stick w/ it - ppl like it, and i watched nearly an entire season of 2 broke girls and several seasons of entourage so whatever i'm 'risking' by watching a show i might wind up deciding isn't good i lost along time ago.

vegas is watchable! standard cbs procedural w/ vague daydream of being an fx drama - period drama which so far only means 'they drive old cars', chiklis as big bad, dennis quaid is great per usual

yeah trust me most of the people defending new girl on ilx now were all 'lol zooey is the worst' a year ago. i basically regard her as a minor part of the ensemble at this point, it's like if 'friends' was called 'phoebe.'

i tried to watch abc's 'help my neighbors are space aliens!' show last night, it was pretty dire.

Aw I thought The Neighbors was dumb but funny

'lol zooey is the worst' a year ago

this certainly will not stop us from continuing to say this

yeah i mean she's still irksome as a celebrity but i think the show uses her well, and more importantly doesn't overuse her

oh man last resort is awesome
