Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

Is Veronica Mars streaming anywhere?

i watched it on amazon, i think it's still available there

Gilmore Girls is great BUT

patter is like Dawson's Creek x Buffy, loads of pop culture references & you have to really be in the mood for everyone talking that way. It makes mr veg visibly recoil, closed doors, the works lol

but the relationships are endearing & it's v funny & moving & MADE for rainy day watching & lots of great actors & fun cameos & the first 3 or 4 seasons are <3

I wish ER was on Netflix or Amazon Prime, I'd binge hard on that. In my mind the first 4-5 seasons were really good but that was in the middle of my teens so what the hell did I know?

Dramatic series that I own on DVD (all of which I would recommend for binge watching): Buffy, Angel, Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks, Gilmore Girls.

Okay, and Dallas. Okay? Is that okay with you? Geez.

I would also like to add ST:TNG and Homicide and the DC animated shows to that list.

I know I already raved about the music on Limitless, but tonight they had a high-speed montage set to Babymetal and I freaked the fuck out. Props!

yeah its pretty fun!

Must see Limitless.

It's CBS though, right? WHich means I'll probably never see it.

can stream on the website no?

You're the Worst got MUCH better and MUCH darker

Getting only a bit more of a handle on my Good Wife appreciation. Maybe I do enjoy the non-Elsbeth characters as much as the writing and acting and milieu? Then again maybe I just like watching Chris Noth.

Enjoying Crazy Ex-GF more than I'd imagine I would something CW - the thing it leads into is panicked-search-for-the-remote unwatchable - but have a hard time shaking the sense that it's just Mindy with a white girl, plus songs. Why isn't she on anymore?

Have also been hooked by Quantico, which is ok, because I went to school with the showrunner. It is soooo his product. I preferred the one from the other showrunner I went to school with.

Enjoying Man in the High Castle. Amazon seem to be great at sets and aesthetics.

and plastering Nazi symbols on New York subways

i know i'm the only one fighting this fight and it's already lost, but my god: tonight's episode of Getting On contained one of the most touching moments i've ever seen on television and about four of the most awkward moments.
Would love to see the original BBC series if anyone can point me to it.

^^^ditto. Great show despite acute pain I feel at every episode.

I don't know why I get excited every time Top Chef starts up again. I watch five episodes and then lose interest every season for the last six.

Yeah, I haven't watched it in four or five years.

Having just moved and dealing now with time warner, i am seriously considering cord cutting. They're horrible to deal with.
HBOGo, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Mubi... except for the goddamn nba and nfl

I recently got an upgrade on my cable so I could watch local pro sports, but had to ditch Hulu to make up for some of the cost. My cable package doesn't have DVR, and I'll never remember to catch up on with shows On Demand, so it looks like I might just watch sports for the next year or so. There is so much garbage in this cable package I can't even

I caught Last Man On Earth last night though. What a dramatic ending for a comedy!

I p much hate TV but Fargo and the Knick have been so freaking good lately. Also brooklyn 99.

I was getting into Penny Dreadful but havent got far into s2, havent had the time. Where do people find time to watch so much shit (unless yr someone like my friend who has recently given birth so is usually awake all night with a babby on her).

Heh, the Last Man ending was such a cheesy cliffhanger - c'mon, they're not going to kill either of them.
But I'm still loving that show.

today in Limitless soundtrack watch: "La La Means I Love You," an Artificial Brain reference, and a climactic scene set to Subrosa's "The Usher."

I'm so sad there's no You're The Worst this week. I started Man Seeking Woman on Hulu because hey, it's FXX too but it's not in the same league.

some of the later episodes are really strong.

Second and third eps were a definite improvement over the pilot - the actual troll thing seemed like a huge mis-step.

I've only seen one episode of Limitless but that episode (#2) was one of the best things I saw on broadcast television this year

really fun show

Limitless music watch continued: "Jump into the Fire", Dan Deacon's "When I Was Done Dying", Puccini, and Bradley Cooper saying "Goatwhore."

i just started watching New Girl
it has made me laugh so hard omg
also jake johnson is p cute

you just like him because his doppleganger was in Star Wars

I tried watching some of the recent season premiere and I made it about five minutes

My kids started crying right about when not-Cece's-mom tried to get out of Nick's car and I was cringing so hard that I didn't rewind to watch the end

1) Red Oaks (Amazon)

bcz it's the only show i'm watching, unless 2001 Sopranos counts.

how is red oaks?

i started watching nurse jackie on netflix. also battle creek starring ryan o'reily aka dennis duffy aka dean winters. it's fun.

it's an easy watch w/ some good actors, a few too many characters mimicking Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Caddyshack

xp

Man Seeking Woman has gotten pretty funny. Best ep so far, as with last season, makes Liz (the sister) the main character.

suttin foster is in younger

it's not great but: sutton foster!

Looking for recommendations re: Idiotsitter, Baskets, Horace and Pete
Excited/Hopeful for: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Horace and Pete is really odd. More like a stab at 80s social-realist teleplays than anything current. Some really strong perfs (Alda, Wright, Falco) and some not so great ones (CK, quelle surprise), some interesting writing and some horribly didactic/clumsy stuff as well. Curious to see what happens with it but not bowled over.

Catching up on and digging The Expanse.

NYT described Horace and Pete as the lost Eugene O'Neill written episode of Cheers which is not a terrible way to put it. It's not gripping me but Louis tends to have a 50/50 hit miss ratio and the hits justify the misses. I'll buy at least the first five episodes.

Idiotsitter is basically workaholics ethos, so if you dig that you'll dig this. Jillian Bell is hysterical, her delivery in the entire Channing Tatum episode was flawless. Charlotte Newhouse is really good!

Baskets is... messy. I don't know if I want to keep watching it? It has some strong redeeming points (primarily Martha Kelly who is a revelation and Louie Anderson as Zach's mom) but it's kind of a nothing show. Feels like it needs another season to get its footing.

the next two episodes of Baskets are written by this guy. I'm sufficiently intrigued to check 'em out.

wow, had no idea. I like the whale a lot.

War & Peace miniseries on Lifetime was pretty dope imo

The first episode of Horace and Pete was fine but definitely felt like something that had been filmed and released within a week. Several good performances as noted (took me almost no time at all to transition from 'Alan Alda as a cantankerous racist? Really?' to just totally buying his character). Louis needs to stop with the "I AM UNCOMFORTABLE" mugging. Buscemi seems oddly off.

anyone here watching the uk show Crashing? it is often funny and often quite emotionally devastating if the first 4 eps are anything to go by

Limitless music watch: Royal Headache's "My Own Fantasy," an Early Man poster, a discography quiz on Sabbath, Skeletonwitch, and Goatwhore, and a closing montage set to Artificial Brain
