If it didn't draw you in with its first 30 minutes, it probably never will.

I disagree with this. I wasn't too bothered after the first.

You could be right. I was hooked instantly, and don't think it's much different now than it was then, but ymmv.

Oh man Hoarders.. that should really be on my list.

sofatruck, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 04:14 (thirteen years ago) link

I'd only heard other people talk about Hoarders before, but I caught a few episodes during a marathon on A&E yesterday. It's equally enthralling and frustrating, but definitely good tv.

xhuxk, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Also, Big Bang Theory probably isn't even good enough to be an Honorable Mention. But I haven't totally given up on it yet.

think i might give sons of anarchy a go, although it looks like it might be too... serious

How do you people have enough time to watch ten different shows on a regular basis?

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Thursday, 14 October 2010 17:08 (thirteen years ago) link

A lot of these shows don't run at the same time. Also DVR/d0wnl0@ding means you can watch at your convenience.

No Good, Scrunty-Looking, Narf Herder (Gukbe), Thursday, 14 October 2010 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link

SOA isn't all that serious...just damn good. and season 2 has henry rollins.

definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Thursday, 14 October 2010 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link

How is SOA this year? I thought the season 2 finale was really stupid, has it recovered?

Jouster, Thursday, 14 October 2010 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah SOA definitely has plenty of moments of levity, oddball characters, goofiness, etc, in addition to the tons of violence and misery and shock value and drama. i think that season 3's been pretty good so far, although it feels kind of mellow compared to season 2 (which i devoured on DVD in the space of like a week so that i'd be caught up to watch a new episodes and was kind of overwhelming but awesome).

i'm pretty much an unemployed stay-at-home parent. but yeah pretty much any show that I can watch at my leisure OnDemand, i do, and only make a point to watch a couple of must-see shows while they're actually on.
