wait Peep Show has more coming right? that should be in there somewhere

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 July 2012 18:51 (thirteen years ago)

I feel like I watch a lot of television, and I could easily name 10 shows that I really like, but at any given time of the year I can watch as little as 90 minutes a week to as much as maybe 6 hours a week, and three of hours will probably be on Sunday night. It seems like a lot of time commitment, but it's really not that much when half the shows are only 30 minute sitcoms and with DVR you can kind of squeeze those in whenever.

At the moment I watch 3 and a half hours, though maybe it's more accurate to say 2 and a half since the hour I spend with the Newsroom usually involves me gasping, agog, into some black hole of bizarre awfulness.

just started watching Damages on Netflix streaming and if that is still a going concern and it doesnt shit itself up after the first season, that would be a worthy nom too

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 July 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

oh yeah i just finished season one of that, probably didn't include it just because the guest stars this upcoming season are Jenna Elfman and Ryan Phillippe...ooooh

da croupier, Thursday, 26 July 2012 18:54 (thirteen years ago)

Dharma and teen Valmont, together at last

da croupier, Thursday, 26 July 2012 18:55 (thirteen years ago)

Oh I like Breaking Bad too.

Ryan Phillipe has an amazingly hot voice.

this seems as good a place as any to note that in the first episode of Bachelor Pad, a woman told her partner (who then went off and made out with another woman) that if they lost the first competition (which was to keep themselves inside a heart-shaped box as it was slowly turned 90 degrees), she would "donkey punch him in the neck."

da croupier, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:04 (thirteen years ago)

i keep meaning to try damages

I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:07 (thirteen years ago)

it's easy to watch 10 or even 30 shows when they're 15 minute adult swim eps

Mordy, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:21 (thirteen years ago)

Justified (though I've only seen the first two seasons on DVD)

You're in for a treat, s3 rules and is the best season yet imo (seems to be a minority opinion tho)

Simon H., Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:22 (thirteen years ago)

damages s1 is pretty solid, but s2 was such a snoozefest that I never really tuned back in

Simon H., Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:22 (thirteen years ago)

Zero love for SHARK TANK itt, that is a great show

sleepingbag, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:23 (thirteen years ago)

what i've seen i've enjoyed but i never remember to watch it

da croupier, Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:35 (thirteen years ago)

if you like adventure time, i find regular show to be a much smarter version of same with more, like, teenage motivations

regular show is ok, but imho these aren't in the same league

Mordy, Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:38 (thirteen years ago)

yup.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)

see i agree with you, but inversely. I tried adventure time for about three eps and then never went back.

I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:53 (thirteen years ago)

that's almost exactly how many episodes of regular show I watched and yet I have watched almost every episode of adventure time.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:54 (thirteen years ago)

the scene in the last ep where SPOILERS they blast off from earth and we see what the post-apocolyptic adventure time earth looks like (w/ a huge crater in the side) and then interface with the super god abraham lincoln who trades his immortality for jake's life and turns into the lincoln memorial /SPOILERS was a new kind of high point for the show.

Mordy, Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:00 (thirteen years ago)

i've watched every episode of regular show!
different strokes

I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:01 (thirteen years ago)

I think both shows are great

The last season of Vikings was so good, in common with Da Vinci's Demons, underrated.

under the cobblestones, le dogshit (xelab), Monday, 5 May 2014 23:04 (twelve years ago)
