So, I'm going classic TV on you guys here...

Anyone else a huge fan of The Odd Couple? One of my favorite comedies of all-time. I used to stay up till 3 a.m. to watch it on syndication in high school.

[Brent]

I used to stay up late and watch re-runs of Duckman on Comedy Central.

[SuperMcgee]

Duckman after The Critic = best hour of television.
Arrested Development following old Simpsons on CBC was pretty great, as well.

[giantsfan]

I have been watching season 1 of Life recently. I am enjoying it.

Life is really good show that I hear almost no buzz for.

Those were the days, watching The Critic and then Duckman... to think, that used to be Comedy Central's prime time shows along with one of my personal favorites of all time Upright Citizens Brigade.

The Critic=best cartoon ever

I thought the second season was weak compared to season 1 because it was moved to Fox who tried to make it too cartoon-ish and less dark.

Yes but Renji said he was suprised. The fact that Lee and Suplee are on a show and it is good should suprise nobody. I find the show is pretty poorly written though and besides the two of them everything else is not so good.

Unfortunately, between work and school, I don't get to watch a lot of TV.

But the one show that I make sure not to miss is "Sons of Anarchy".

Great show.

Yeap.

And judging by what happend in the last episode, it's about to get REALLY interesting.

Chuck is awesome. Sarah in the Nerd Herd outfit=epic win

[giantsfan]

Catching up on this years season of dexter as I wait for the new heroes and chuck to come up. Like watching a few epi's of that show back to back. And I'm really liking how they're almost making dexter seem human. I'm not sure why people consider this show the best show on tv, it's a good show that i follow regularly, but it's just in that tier of TV shows I genuinely enjoy and not on it's own level like some hype it as.

Thank you, i wasnt sure how the show was doing ratings wise or if anyone else was interested in it but me, but this is a great show. I dont make a habbit of catching it the day a new episode premieres like lost, but i catch the reruns of it the night after. I highly recommend it.

[giantsfan]

Just finished the new episode of chuck and it was nice and entertaining. Just what i've come to expect from chuck. I don't want my time back and that's all you call really expect from TV.

[giantsfan]

I'm watching the new dexter and while I really do enjoy this show, I just can't get into the character that much. He's just a whiny confused little boy who judges other people's lives and acts as the angel of death to keep from every dealing with his own, a killer Peter Pan.

EDIT:
Just finished the latest episode and I like were they're taking it even though I steal find Dexter whiny and sometimes simply unwilling to deal with things.

[Brent]

this season of Dexter seems to be stalling. however, Californication is hitting all the right notes.

[A Perfect Score]

I dont find Dexter to be whiney at all...I think alot of the philosophizing he does is because he doesnt know what else to do. And thats the point, we are supposed to believe that he is confused. He is unable to comprehend alot of things "regular" humans do, therefore you have to get the sense that he is very lonely, and since that is the case, he finds himself on the outside of alot of situations due to his lack of emotion. However, hes grown alot since the first season, especially emotionally. I dont think hes whiney per say, just confused alot of the time. And since thats they way the show is told, we hear it from his point of view. Its that kind of narrative. I personally think its the best show on TV at this point.

And Californication is just ******* spectacular. Lew Ashbey= Great addition to the show

Lew Ashby is my personal jesus. Callum Keith Rennie is the sole reason Canadian film in the past 10 years has been half decent.

Yeah but his emotional incompetence is largely the result of his own refusal to grow and deal with life. He uses his "dark Passenger" to rationalize his emotional ineptitude so that he never actually has to deal with things.

[themaninblack]

Has anyone ever watched the show Three Sheets? It's on Mojo HD which is some channel I get on my digital cable. It's basically this guy who goes around the world exploring different drinking cultures. Anyway, I just found out that they filmed the fourth season but Mojo is going off air December 1 which really sucks cuz the show is pretty sweet. I think they are trying to get picked up by another network such as Spike or Travel.

Look it up on Hulu its a pretty entertaining show and you can actually learn some interesting stuff about other drinking cultures.

[giantsfan]

Alright, got myself caught up on the big bang theory and so far I'm really enjoying season 2, they've really taken a step and I love how they treat Sheldon as some sort of nonhuman creature to study.

I watched all 4 seasons that were out on DVD pre season 5 a long time back and fell in love with the show. It sucks being Canadian though because the show aired here at the craziest times. I then moved on to a bunch of other shows and will be boring the seasons I am missing from a friend the christmas break. I look forward to a marathon were I have every episode left all lined up and just watch every episode in the span of a week.

I don't think the show is underated at all anymore. It just doesn't get watched by the average person.

I thought Sundays ep was fantastic. The last two eps have taken the show in a completly different direction than I thought it was going and I am loving it.

The Ice Truck Killer is one of my all time favorite villains.

Dexter really starts to hit its stride mid season when the Ice Truck Killer starts playing a larger role. I would recomend you stick it out. Deadwood I also found is very hard to get into but much like The Wire (off the top of my head it was another show that I had a very hard time getting into at first) if you stick it out for a while it really is a great show.

Jack: [implying that mood affects the performance of his employees and that Liz always seems to be unhappy] Human contact is important, Lemon. I can tell from your stress level that you've not been touched in any way for quite some time. Not caressed. Not massaged. Not even groped on the subway. Do you agree that you need someone in your life, Lemon?
Liz Lemon: No. I have bigger things to worry about than my personal life.
Jack: I would think that the single woman's biggest worry would be choking to death in her apartment.

Jack Donaghy: Banks is no slouch: He pioneered the concept of ten-second internet sitcoms.

Jack Donaghy: I want you on this, Lemon. Those jokes you wrote for my Mitt Romney fundraiser, they were top-notch.
Liz Lemon: Those weren't jokes! That was an appeal for a return to common sense and decency.
Jack Donaghy: Well, they got big laughs.

Jack Donaghy: Good God; Devon is ***. He's even more powerful than I thought.

I should probably stop but:
Liz Lemon: I thought Tracy was getting here at noon.
Jack: Movie stars move at their own pace, Liz. We have to accommodate him.
Liz Lemon: Yeah, well, a lot of people are still upset about Tracy joining the show.
Jack: Well, that's not my problem. I have other things on my plate. You hear about that chemical factory explosion outside of Colorado Springs?
Liz Lemon: No...
Jack: Good.

and
Jack: I'm back Lemon. I've had the most productive summer of my life.
Liz Lemon: Me Too!
Jack: All of my summer replacement shows were big hits. America's Next Top Pirate, Are You Stronger Than a Dog, MILF Island.
Liz Lemon: Milf Island?
Jack: Twentyfive super hot moms. Fifty eighth grade boys. No rules.
Liz Lemon: Oh yeah. Didn't one of those women turn out to be a prostitute?
Jack: That doesn't mean she's not a wonderful, caring milf.

[d34ng3l021]

Today's episode was hilarious. My favorite part was when Liz went on the rant and ended it with "I SAW MY GRANDPARENTS MAKING LOVE AND I DIDNT LEAVE INSTANTLY" or something. I cracked up so hard my friends looked at me funny.

[giantsfan]

I love the pop culture references in the show...that and the way they actually work in relevant social topics amongst raelly funny material. The show itself is excellently written.

The pop culture references are good for easy laughs but I really love their characters everyone in the main cast is awesome in their own way accept for Geiss's daughter, I just don't think she's funny ********, just ********.

[The Unseen]

Yeah, I got into 30 Rock a little bit last year and have watched all the episodes this year. Good show. Alec Baldwin is friggin' gold.

[cdub11]

Tell me what to download.

I have finished Entourage and I thought it was awesome to watch. I am following 30 Rock and The Office. House and Arrested Development are my favorite shows.

I am thinking of Mad Men or How I Met Your Mother.

I just recently started watching House... Great Show!

[jkpigskin]

anybody follow season 3 of prison break?
the acting is terrible in some parts, but the PLOT is freakin crazy...i dont mind that they keep dragging it out... i just love the show

Jericho had a ton of ups and downs, but the last two episodes of Season 1 are simply amazing.

I just recently started watching House... Great Show!

I said this before and will say it again: best show on TV according to my opinion. I love The Office, 24 used to be cool, Seinfeld is re-runs, but House is a consistently great show. It's always a mystery wrapped in Hugh Laurie's awesomeness wrapped in really odd sexual tension wrapped in great interpersonal stories.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Anyone here watch Malcolm in the Middle? I just started watching the show with the re-runs on TV and they are pretty funny.

No Reservations is pretty sweet. Bourdain is awesome. If you like that show go on Hulu and watch Three Sheets. He gets paid to go all around the world and drink. I'm hoping a channel like Spike or the Travel Channel will pick it up as the channel it is on now(Mojo HD) is going off air. It actually might be off air now, and they have filmed a fourth season already with nowhere to air it.

Just finished yesterdays chuck and it was another really good episode. It's not going to blow your mind and it's not as retardedly unbelievable as most of the fox shows involving government agencies, but there's just something sweet about it and they execute it really well. Only character I really don't enjoy is Bryce Larkin and even he's not bad, just not a character I really care for.

[comahan]

Kevin Smith on Battlestar Galactica (Small amounts of spoilers - well, not really. Just the premise.)

Its from a while back yes, but I just now read it, so shush.


At this point in my life, there’s only one show in the world that’d make me leave the Elysium comforts of my bedroom and venture out into the world to attend a panel I’m not a part of, as an audience member.


That show is the ever-genius new version of “Battlestar Galactica”.


The Museum of Television and Radio holds the William S. Palley TV Festival every year, in which well-regarded shows have screenings of unaired episodes, then assemble the cast and crew for moderated chats before opening up the floor to questions. Since the MTR is in Beverly Hills, Jen and I head over earlier than the scheduled start of the panel so we can kill two birds with one stone and pop into Tiffany to grab some gifts for Gail and a few other folks while we’re in the neighborhood. With time to spare, we shoot over to the MTR only to discover that this year, the Palley fest is being held at the cushy DGA Theater, in their building on Sunset (next door to the Griddle), very close to our home.


We race back to Hollywood and get into the theater with two minutes to spare. The crowd in attendance looks like the same folks who show up for my Q&A’s at colleges and ComiCons, which results in much “Hey, Kevin Smith” and “Can’t wait for ‘Clerks II’”-type shout-outs. My cell phone vibrates and I see Dave Mandel’s name show up. I answer it, looking around the room, immediately asking “Don’t tell me you’re here too.” Dave tells me to look to my left, and I spot him across the theater, smiling and waving. I tell him we have no life, then settle in for the start of the program.


This v.2 of “Battlestar Galactica” is so insanely amazing, I’m sometimes flummoxed watching it. When I started seeing billboards around town advertising the show when it debuted, I remember thinking “Wow. Why?” The OG “B-Star-G” (as we’ve taken to calling it around the house) was a fun piece of disposable youth cheese that, even as a ‘70’s pre-teen, was easy to recognize for what it was: a “Star Wars” rip-off. Granted, I had a Colonial Viper and a Cylon Raider as a kid; but my Mother bought them for me from the sale rack at the now-defunct Two Guys store, where each set her back less than a buck. Compared to the hundreds (maybe thousands) she and my Father spent on Kenner’s “Star Wars” line of action figures and accessories for me over the years, the two bits she dropped on “Galactica” crap probably made her wish I was a bigger fan of Starbuck than Han Solo.


The notion of an updated “Galactica” was about as far off my radar as an Amanda Bynes picture (which, in name-checking, I realize reveals an actual near-proximity of said flick to my radar; damn you, Harley). And the fact that none of the advertising I’d seen depicted any Cylons (always the most interesting part of the show, if for no other reasons than their pong-like red “eyes” and their “Funky Town” voice patterns) didn’t help matters much.


It wasn’t until we were in pre-production on “Clerks II”, and Tony, our A.D., started waxing rhapsodically about the show during a location scout that I even remembered it existed. Based on his fervent recommendation, I picked up the Season One box set when it came out, during a later visit to Laser Blazer. But even when Season Two made its DVD appearance, neither box set had emerged from their wrappers until two days after Christmas, when the cold-turkeying Schwalbach, detoxing from a suddenly abandoned three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, was sacked-out in bed, barely able to move, asking what we were gonna watch next.


We’d gone through all our Academy screeners, and – surrounded by a banquet of nicotine-replacing junk food – my miserable-from-missing-smokes wife was looking for something to take her mind off lighting up.


“I just read in Time magazine’s year-end issue that the new ‘Battlestar Galactica’ was their favorite show.” I offered.


Weakly, she countered “There was an old ‘Battle-thing Whatever?”


After a brief explanation of “Battlestar” Classic, Jen’s already withering glares – those glares that come from someone who’s forsaking the only true indulgence they feel makes them whole – morphed into that old favorite blank expression of mine; the one that I’ve been at the receiving end of many times throughout our marriage, when my wife, with a look, communicates utter disbelief and near disgust as I reveal a familiarity with something far more geeky than I should know/enjoy. I call it the “I Can’t Believe I Let Someone Like You Stick His **** In Me” look.


Still, in her weakened, non-nicotine fueled state, she was in no condition to offer alternative suggestions on what to view. She moaned “Let’s try it.”

The V.2 “Battlestar Galactica” kicks off with a killer mini-series event that sees the civilizations of the Colonies all-but completely annihilated by a new breed of Cylons – Cylons that, instead of clunky, faux-metal fourth-rate Stormtrooper proxies, are now human in appearance (and some even super-human, if you count Six – the Cylon babe who wouldn’t look out of place at the Playboy Grotto).

http://www.viewaskew.com/kevin/bstar6.jpg

Adama, keeper of the about-to-be-mothballed Galactica looks less like the dude from “Bonanza” and more like the dude from “American Me”. Starbuck has joined the distaff and is now a chick (depicted as a dickless dude). Boomer went from being a black dude to an Asian woman. The evil Balthar is now a somewhat hapless agent in the humanity’s destruction who carries on a constant conversation with the Cylon babe in his head. And the leader of the 50,000 remaining humans in the not-so-free world is the only surviving member of the Presidential cabinet – the Secretary of Education who was something like 20th in the line of succession.

Without changing much of the original “Galactica” premise, the creators and folks involved with the show have done the equivalent of taking a covered wagon and creating a BMW from the design: it still takes you from place to place, but now it does so while keeping you safe from the elements, getting you there quicker, warming your ass with heated, leather seats, and bathing your ears in audio delights from an iPod-friendly sound-system. With the mini-series alone, these people managed to not simply just teach an old dog new tricks; they taught that ***** to speak, travel to alternate dimensions, fold space, and cure cancer.

How was this accomplished? How did the new “B-Star G” peeps spin straw into gold? How did they make the human beings as interesting (if not more so) than the ******* Cylons? Like all great art, they simply held a mirror up to our culture. “Galactica” V.2 is an allegory for 9/11 and the War on Terror viewed from both sides. It offers a far more complex view of two opposite ideologies in juxtaposition to one another, presenting neither side as particularly evil – just terrifying. Extremely well done Science Fiction has always been most powerfully effective when it lays out humanity naked and shows us ourselves, warts and all. Whether it’s “Planet of the Apes”, “Star Trek”, or almost anything by Phillip K. Dick, the best sci-fi isn’t simply laser-beam driven shoot-‘em-ups between good guys and bad guys; it’s the abyss we look into and see someone awfully, sometimes painfully familiar looking back from. There will always be a place in Science Fiction for the Joseph Campbell-described archetypical hero’s journey of the “Star Wars” saga, but what Sci-Fi does best is allow the author to comment on what it’s like to be a human being – the shame, the miracle, the sacrifice, the desire, the grand heights, and the abject lows. And if an author can accomplish this in stealth mode – be entertaining while not calling attention to his or her loftier goals – so much the better.

And ****, does “B-Star G” entertain. Jen and I were so gripped, we went through two box sets in two days. Would-be Sci-Fi (or just excellent television) creators take note: if you want to seduce a female audience (so that Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Cons aren’t just massive sausage parties), include strong, interesting, and indispensable female characters. I can’t say “B-Star G” made my wife kick the habit, but nestled in the bosom of this wonderful show, my wife forgot about her self-imposed smoking moratorium for a long enough period of time that the initial detoxing transition wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been (i.e., she stopped yelling at and cursing me for introducing her to smoking). While the wife may be a massive Starbuck fan, I dare say that President Laura Roslin is the most interesting character in a show that has no weak links. Neither a figure of Clinton-ian valor or GDub-ian misguidance, Laura Roslin is a President we’d all be lucky to elect, and a sad reminder that the best-and-yet-heretofore-dismissed candidate to lead this nation would probably be a person born with the biology to create, carry and nurture life.

If you haven’t seen this show yet, throw together a few sheckles, set aside a few hours, and get your hands on the dvd box sets. A better use of your time-wasting I can’t imagine. I mean, my affection for this program actually inspired me to go to a ******* panel and sit in the audience like every other fanboy and fangirl, gawking dopily at the cast and crew behind its creation.

I am big fan of each show and no I don't think so. House and Dr. Cox are egomaniacs but House is much more clever, more conniving, and just a fuller character. That's because he is really in a drama. House> Dr. Cox. I think they came around the same year too so its not a copying type situation.

I'm a fan of both. Dr. Cox adds so much to Scrubs in more ways than just a few laughs. He's a semi-alcoholic/egomaniac but is a good guy on the whole.

House though is brilliant. The show I mean, the actor plays him so well and the writers have come up with some great story lines.

Anyways, I just got season 1 and 2 of It's Always Sunny in Philly along with Season 3 and 4 of The Office ---->>> Add that to my Arrested Development collection, and YIKES I think it's time for a couple marathon's.

Back when that show was coming out with new episodes, I can admit to bursting out into tears occasionally...hilarious (with Drew Carrey)

I have decided that Friday Night Lights is probably one of the best, if not the best show on TV. I own season one, and two and have been watching them over the break, and then watching season 3 online....just an awesome show. I had always had Heroes at #1, but FNL is just so good.

There are many shows which are much better then Friday Night Lights on TV, trust me...

On that note, I have been re-watching Six Feet Under from the beginning, and it is without doubt the best overall show I have ever watched. Its dark, gripping, hilarious, and incredibly acted. Michael C Hall fans should watch it to see Dexter before he was Dexter, and the other actors in the show are all fantastic. Maybe its just me because its my kind of show, dark comedy, but I can honestly say its the best show I have ever watched.

Dexter, Californication, Weeds, Entourage, Jericho and Battlestar Galactica are all examples of dramas that I would see as superior to FNL that are currently on the air. Shows like Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, Veronica Mars, and Firefly would be shows that are no longer on the air that I would feel are better then FNL.

Seriously. I'm usually not a Game Show person but at least most of them took some talent or at least coordination. This one you'll just see some guy named Rick with a John Deere hat on, with two of his equally overweight kids and a wife that's oddly thin who is just amazed at 1,000. "Gee gee. I'm gon win the BIG MONEY. gee gee" and slams down the case or whatever the hell it is with authority.

Please. You see so many good shows get canned after only a few seasons yet the American Public would rather watch a Canadian germophobe host a game of complete chance and greed? Couldn't they just do the stock market?

How does Howie Mandel do a show where he's messing with peoples food and all this other dirty stuff, I thought he was a OCD patient?

I was wondering the same thing but regardless, it looks like a stupid show. Maybe his OCD is part of the humor?

I disagree. There is A LOT of **** shows, but there is still plenty of great shows as well.

[A Perfect Score]

Renji, watch all of Six Feet Under. I am in the opening episodes of season 3, and its ******* spectacular. I had seen a bunch of episodes before but never all in order, and its a magnificent show. One of the best i have ever seen...and it has some of the best acting ive ever watched on a TV show.

What is the show about?

[M.O.T.H.]

Nip/Tuck Tuesday....hopefully it's better than last year's season.

What is the show about?

A very dysfunctional family that runs a funeral home business. Very great show

[Jvig43]

Watching a marathon of Planet earth on discovery. My god is this show amazing. I saw this one where plants in the rain forest used a air toxin to protect itself from insects. It would cause the insect to climb to the top and just freeze there, then fungi would literally grow out of the plant and spores created deadly toxins to further destroy any insect in the area. I was blown away.

Planet Earth is just about the most outstanding visual production I've ever seen.

I've dedicated 25 gigs of my hard drive just to keep the HD version on hand.

Yeah, I've been watching this too because I didn't catch it last year. It's pretty amazing, even with a somewhat out of date TV.

Tim Roth deserves better than that piece of **** looking show Lie to Me.

New No reservations anthony Bordain is on!!!!!

[Whistler6]

No bowl games to look forward to tonight.. Sounds like a GREAT night to tune into the hour premiere of Scrubs. Abso-fruitly. Should be good, plus Courtey Cox I heard is going to be a regular for a while...

[Gay Ork Wang]

zomg Scrubs is back!

[CashmoneyDrew]

I have a Scrubs boner that's not gonna go away til later tonight. Can't wait to see me some more Dr. Reid.

[CashmoneyDrew]

New Scrubs!!!!!!!

[yodapoop]

Scrubs was more than decent tonight, prolly an 8.5 out of 10. The second episode is prolly more of what we are going to see cuz they are trying to be more serious this season. But all in all, I enjoyed it tonight.

Can't believe I missed this. Bourdain FTW!

[Paul]

Yea, I loved the new episodes of scrubs tonight. It's good to see them come back strong with two great episodes, especially after the debacle that was last season's finale.

[The Unseen]

Just watched the 10 Items or Less show on TBS. It's alright...

Well last season's finale was aired in the wrong order, but I agree that it sucked. And I enjoyed the two episodes tonight, although I hope Janitor isn't gone.

I just got done re-watching 24 Season One (upconverted via Blu-Ray yay) and I forgot how bad Dennis Hoppers' Serbian accent was.

I think I watched an episode of that when it first came out. I don't remember my reaction but I haven't watched it since. Their commercials alone make me never want to try it again.

[GB12]

Demetri Martin is getting his own show on Comedy Central. I'm a big fan of his stand up so I'm hoping the show doesn't suck like so many others of its kind.

Anthony Bourdain lives my dream life, seriously. Travel around the globe and experience awesome cultures all while enjoying some of the greatest and most unique foods on Earth.

The Man vs. Food guy lives pretty good as well.

The Janitor will be back, they need to give him his name.

That WASNT the finale last season.. The season was cut short and they wanted to get that episode in that season because they didn't have any other episode to closeout with. I read Braff's myspace blog or whatever and he has a whole written thing about it. The fairy tale episode was not, I repeat was not meant to be a season finale of any way.

********Also the reason it seemed so ''out of order'' was because it was out of order

That being said, tonight was a great return. However, Scrubs is going to have a tough time competing with American Idol and Biggest Loser sandwiching it in on the other two big stations

[d34ng3l021]

I am nearing the end of How I Met Your Mother. I love this show so much. It's a really addicting show to watch. Neil Patrick Harris is hilarious and 'Robin' (her name on the show) is one of the prettiest/ordinary girls I have seen.

Season 2 of Dexter just finished downloading. Just finished the 1st episode and I am pretty excited to get through that.

Someone lent me disc one of Season 1 of Firefly. I have heard some good things about this show (its basically the life of Han Solo).

I need a life.

Yes, it is, especially Idol. I think this prolly means this is officially the end of Scrubs.

[Paranoidmoonduck]

I have an instant distaste for anything with a laugh track (excluding That 70's Show), but How I Met Your Mother is a genuinely funny show. I never got why people liked or related to Friends, but I get this show.

Not that serious buddy, no need to "repeat" or type in "BIG CAPS". I believe you.
