"can someone please call Taco and tell him that the league has started?"

"oh, I have a mental erection."

The scene where Ruxin called up a tow truck to drive him and his car home since he was drunk might have been my favorite.

Im so incredibly pumped for IASIP and The League

whens the date & time for each?

[SuperMcgee]

The League is better than I initially gave it credit for being. I think I've still missed a couple of the early episodes, but it's good stuff.

What a terrible ******* finale for True Blood.

[M.O.T.H.]

I caught the end. Straight cheese and way too many crappy cliff hangers.

[A Perfect Score]

What a terrible ******* finale for True Blood.

Was it really that awful? Im just queuing it up now.

[Brodeur]

Was it really that awful? Im just queuing it up now.

Yeah it was. The setups for next season are just awful, and outside of basically any scene with Russell, Eric and Jessica/Hoyt, it was just excruciating. This episode almost puts me off from being interested in season 4.

[CC.SD]

I don't think alan ball got the memo that that was supposed to be a finale.

[Brodeur]

Adrian Grenier is hilariously bad.

[Giantsfan1080]

Yeah the acting in that last episode might have been the worst ever for the show which is really saying something. What's with all the athlete cameos this year also? Kind of annoying.

[A Perfect Score]

That was the last episode of Entourage. What a disappointing way to go out.

[Giantsfan1080]

It wasn't the last episode. There's another season still. I also hear they're mulling over a movie but that makes no sense. They have trouble filling out 22 minute episodes so I don't know what they could do with an hour and a half plus.

[A Perfect Score]

I thought this was the last season?

[Giantsfan1080]

Nope they signed on for one more.

[A Perfect Score]

You guys were right. True Blood was terrible.

[vidae]

There is one more season of Entourage and yeah, they're in talks for a movie. The movie will probably suck but whatevers.

Piven and his wife were fine, but other than that yes.

I can't remember the last time I actually watched Entourage. Smokejumpers?

Anyway, time for the superior set of fall HBO programming!

[Twiddler]

someone smack me for waiting so long to watch Breaking Bad.

The same for me and The Wire. Buying the complete series was the best ******* purchase ever.

[iowatreat54]

Yea, the story in Entourage was actually not terrible, but how they carried it out was god awful (except for Ari and Mrs. Ari).

Also, wtf 10 episode season? I mean, Entourage has been bad but at least they could fill a season. They must really be struggling.

And what are they going to do to write off Scott? He's supposed to be in the the new Hawaii 5-0. Is he going to do both now? I really thought they'd get him out in the finale.

Btw, ef all of you who mocked me when I said at the beginning of the season Vince had/would develope a drug problem because "one week of doing drugs doesn't lead to having a problem" or some bs.

[Brent]

thanks so so many of you talking about how bad True Blood was going to be, I expected the worst. frankly, half of it didn't shock me 'cause I read a few of the books, but it felt like half an episode because NOTHING WAS CONCLUDED.

[Giantsfan1080]

I don't watch True Blood but it sounds exactly like the Sopranos after Season 4. Sometimes shows get too big for their own good.

[Splat]

Going to give Terriers another shot since there is nothing else on that I want to watch.

[Giantsfan1080]

I think most people here hate Survivor but it's always been good to me. It has a little football theme with Jimmy Johnson as one of the contestants this year.

I used to be a big fan but after awhile I just felt like "been there done that" it just got to be repetitive.

I started watching Supernatural as my latest mega marathon show, and it's intriguingish although I'm waiting for it to become more serialized.

I started watching Supernatural as my latest mega marathon show, and it's intriguingish although I'm waiting for it to become more serialized.

This is a show I have always ment to start up but never have, I have been sucked in to a few repeats but never watched it from the start.

I'm in the middle of getting caught up on Friday Night Lights right now, I had forgot how epic of a show it is.

Are there any new shows that are supposed to be good on network TV that I need to check out? Dramas, comedies, whatever.

Lone Star and Boardwalk Empire.

[Giantsfan1080]

Of course I know about Boardwalk Empire Brodeur. I've been raving about on every page for the last month at least. Hell check out the first post on this page.

[vidae]

Lone Star looks awful.

I'm interested in Undercovers (NBC, JJ Abrams) and The Event (NBC). Both look semi interesting. No Ordinary Family (ABC) looks kind of interesting as well, and I'm a Michael Chiklis fan.

Awful, are you serious? It looks damn good and is getting ridiculous reviews. Oh yeah, and The Event looks like crap and the actual event is crap.

[Giantsfan1080]

The Undercovers looks terrible to me. Abrams bothers me now for some reason. The Event I'm interested in and will check it out. It sounds like the writers have their stuff together.

[Brodeur]

Abrams has nothing to do with his shows after the first few episodes, ala Fringe and Lost.

[Giantsfan1080]

That's not really the reason I'm not going to watch it was more of a general statement. The show just doesn't look interesting to me.

[vidae]

Are you kidding? Is this a joke? Am I being Punk'd? Where are you Ashton! Lone Star looks REALLY stupid. Just downright awful.

And I'm sorry you feel that way about The Event, but some of us are still interested in finding out what it is. :)

[Giantsfan1080]

How do you know what the event is? It's not like it's based on a book or anything. If you can answer that without runing the storyline that would be nice.

[Brodeur]

I like shows with new and interesting plots, as opposed to what will be a rehash of a billion other shows like The Event. It will probably be worse than Flash Forward.

EDIT: New York Magazine spoiled it a month or so ago, although they said it wasn't totally definite.

[A Perfect Score]

The Event looks dumb. Just looks like FlashForward, which was another attempt to piggyback on the success of LOST with a show that continually asks questions and gives no answers. Good marketing, but makes for bad TV.

[Giantsfan1080]

Early reviews have been kind to The Event so we'll see. They ackowledged that they won't keep stringing people along and it will give answers to the questions that arises. FlashForward ended up being a good show but everyone refuses to admit it because nobody stuck it out. It was sort of like Parks & Rec that everyone killed here but now all you hear are good things mostly.

You and vidae are the only ones I've heard call the second half anything better than above average, while Parks and Rec has become one of the best shows on TV so no.

I'm with you. I still really enjoyed the second half of FlashForward and thought it got a lot better. I knew it was going to be canned, but the second half of the season was a hell of a lot more entertaining than the first.

I generally like these kind of shows. Lost did absolutely nothing for me. I thought it was pretty stupid from day one, so here is to hoping that The Event piques my interests.

[Giantsfan1080]

I was saying that sometimes you need to let a show grow instead of throwing into the bust pile. I wasn't saying FlasForward was as good a show as Parks & Rec. I think I was one of the only people here defending the show early on mostly because of how great Aziz Ansari is.

[Splat]

Lone Star looks awful.

Not expecting much but will give it a chance.

[diabsoule]

I'm very curious about No Ordinary Family and will be giving it a shot. Although it seems like a live-action version of The Incredibles.

[vidae]

One of the ex-showrunners from Chuck is running No Ordinary Family now, and she helped write some of the best Chuck episodes of the past few years. I'm excited to see her work on this too.

I have no personal stake in the success of any given TV show but the first few episodes of FlashForward were so insultingly horrible that I was glad when it got cancelled.

It could have been The Wire in the second half and I would still feel that way.

[vidae]

Maybe that's because you're a big jerk who won't talk to us on IRC?

Lone Star isn't really that interesting of a plot. A conman living two lives? No way!

I will certainly check it out, as I do most TV shows, but it looks pretty boring to me.

Boardwalk Empire was exquisite, I didn't know they'd be bringing in actual historical gangsters. Suppose I should have figured that out though. Great premiere, can't wait for more. Probably deserves its own thread.

I'm not quite sure why they killed the ridiculous Chicago boss...my only guess is to make room for the young up and comers like Capone? Or they somehow pinned the entire incident on him? He was in the room, after all.

Still havent caught the Wire yet. I know they show some episodes on the 101 for Direct TV users. That's how I started watching Dexter, but it's censored to a point. The seasons still cost way too much for me. I thought they said the Wire was going to re-air on HBO, but I dont when that's coming.

[Brodeur]

I'll lend you my complete set.

[M.O.T.H.]

That'd be fantastic!

Honestly...that looks like it's the way to go. The complete collection is $122.49 on Amazon. 1 season goes for about $30, and $40+ if you're going to Walmart, Best Buy, etc.

At least Breaking Bad is cheap, I intend to buy it eventually.

[Giantsfan1080]

Boardwalk Empire was great. Right up my alley as far as TV shows go.

[M.O.T.H.]

Boardwalk Empire was fantastic. The cast is outrageously awesome. I didnt like a Serious Man, but I def. appreciate Stuhlberg's acting talent. And Michael Pitt has Leo Dicaprio's mannerisms down perfectly. Not surprised that Scorsese went with him as one of the leads. Fantastic show.

[Brent]

I cannot wait to get home from work and watch boardwalk empire.

Hawaii Five-O? Is this a remake or a special program tonight?

[vidae]

Very excited for HIMYM. The Event has been getting really good reviews for the premier as well so definitely going to catch it as well.

You're my FlashForward buddy! You gotta watch The Event too!

Hawaii Five-O? Is this a remake or a special program tonight?

It's a remake with an entirely new cast. And Grace Park from BSG fame is in it. Mmmmm Grace Park.

[Brodeur]

I'll pick Lone Star over The Event, mainly because Lone Star is getting terrific reviews and I don't think The Event looks even close to interesting (minus Zeljiko).

[CC.SD]

The Event looks stupid. The commercials literally say 'takes the place of Lost.'

Trying too hard, guys.

[Splat]

I'm going to give The Event a chance but I think it might end up being as bad as FlashForward.

Wait...

Nothing can be that bad.

[Giantsfan1080]

I'll be watching both tonight because of a great invention called TIVO.

Exactly my thoughts.

[draftguru151]

Yea I just set up all the new shows to record then I'll watch them if people say they aren't trash.

[vidae]

I always wanted a soap opera during prime time.. goooo Lone Star!

And with Lost ending, can you blame NBC for trying to get into that sort of series? I can't. If it's a good show it's smart business.

Twin Peaks was one of the greatest shows of all time, and it was a soap opera during prime time.

Lone Star unless you want to be saddled with cliched tripe.

[The Unseen]

i'm probably gonna watch both, it's just which one right now

[The Unseen]

k I think I'm watching Lone Star. Since I was gonna watch The Event anyways, it's the show I can make myself watch online more easily as opposed to a show I didn't know anything about previously (which is Lone Star).

[djp]

Hasselhoff!!!!

[The Unseen]

I watched Lone Star. pretty good, not amazing but I liked it. I'll keep watching.

[Jvig43]

Twin Peaks was one of the greatest shows of all time, and it was a soap opera during prime time.

And still scares the **** out of me to this day.

[SuperMcgee]

Hasselhoff!!!!

I'm not sure how that show got on my TV, but I do know that I want to do terrible things to Audrina Patridge.

[Brodeur]

And still scares the **** out of me to this day.

Probably because Bob won in the finale.

Those American Pickers guys can be pretty shady. They rip everyone off. Good show, though. Still like Pawn Stars better.

They dont really rip people off any more than the guys on Pawn Stars do.
They run a business. They need to make a profit. If people REALLY wanted that much money for their junk they would take care of it and sell it themselves. Most people are just happy getting anything for crap that would just sit for years otherwise.

[NotRickJames]

Let's just fast forward to next Sunday night. Sorry, SNF. I've got a date with Dexter Morgan... :evil:

I hope Detroit 1-8-7 turns out OK.

They rip people off more than the Pawn Star guys. I remember watching one episode when they were buying movie posters for about 15-20 a pop and they sell for over 250 a piece.

The Pawn Star guys are a little more legit and actually have experts in to give proper appraisals. If the customer doesnt like the guys offer, they can move on...but they know what they're sitting on. The American Picker guys just low ball everyone, knowing very well what some things are worth. The people they're dealing with, in a lot of cases...have no idea how much things are worth. So they turn in huge profits.

Then the guy should have had them appraised first. They don't put a gun to anyone's head. The guy wanted to sell, didn't know the price, sold anyways.
It isn't like they are using tricks. They just throw out a price.
If people were really worried about getting top dollar it wouldn't be rotting in a barn.

The big difference between Pawn Stars and American Pickers:
A store and Chumlee

House was ***, Two and a Half Men was awesome.

I dont know how legit the filming of American Pickers is, but a lot of time they just go to random places...without warning. And they travel long distances so they dont really have the time to wait on people. So if they're just dropping in, it's pretty tough to wait on a appraisals. They know what they're doing...I def. think it's a tad more shady then Pawn Stars.

I'll tell you what, though. I'd in no way trade a car or something big like that to the Pawn Star guys. They always rip people off there.

I liken it to this: Is it shady if you see someone selling something extremely valuable at a garage sale for say a dollar and you purchase it at that price knowing it is more valuable?

[M.O.T.H.]

It's more stupidity on the sellers front. But still, the Pickers catch a lot of these people off guard. So the seller may think they're getting a good deal, when in reality they're getting hosed. And by the look of a lot of the people they're buying from...those people could probably use that money more. It's all a little sketchy.

I'm just saying some of the prices they throw out there are incredibly on the low side. And they know very well that they're ripping some people off.

[Forenci]

Well that was a fun night! Chuck was awesome as usual. I love this story line way more than the Ring stuff. I also feel like several of the actors have really progressed in acting ability. Yvonne in particular.

The Event is still up in the air for me. I liked the pilot, but they still are pretty vague. It's just the first episode though, so I'll watch again for sure. I was actually fairly intrigued by it.

I'm loving Castle too. It started out kind of slow in season one, but it's great now. Nathan Fillion is awesome in it, and Stana Katic is epicly hot.

[djp]

Boardwalk Empire was phenomenal. Was not expecting that much gore.

Definitely going to give this first season a go.

[Vikes99ej]

We're talking about the American Revolution in one of my classes, and I really wish I could watch John Adams again.

Premieres for Tuesday:

CBS:
NCIS (8/7c)
NCIS: Los Angeles (9/8c)

NBC:
The Biggest Loser (8/7c)

Fox:
Glee (8/7c)
Raising Hope (9/8c)
Running Wilde (9:30/8:30c)

ABC:
Detroit 1-8-7 (10/9c)

These are JUST premieres. Some of these networks had shows premiere last week, ie Parenthood on NBC. :)

[jballa838]

it's going to be "Running Wilde" for me. I haven't seen Will Arnett as the lead character in anything before, so this should be good.

[CC.SD]

The Event is the end of network television; execs have finally figured out that if you just ask a bunch of questions you don't need things like dialogue, compelling characters, or even cohesive narratives.

*shrugs*

[vidae]

Wow, the ratings are in and for a few shows it ain't pretty..

Chuck got a 2.1 which was pretty much expected, so meh on that.

The Event got a 3.7, but we'll have to wait and see how many people it retains for next week.

Lone Star got a terrible 1.3 and for a series premiere in prime-time with the House lead in, that is downright awful. Not even sure I'll watch the pilot I have dvr'd now.

Hawaai Five-O got a 3.8, and I've heard a lot of good things, so I might have to check it out.

Chase got a 2.5. Didn't expect much more than that.

Wow at Lone Star though. With a solid lead in from House only pulling a 1.3 is scary. I wonder if they'll even finish the ordered episodes.

[Giantsfan1080]

I feel like Fox didn't do that good of a job promoting Lone Star. I follow all this stuff kind of closely and I didn't even hear about it untill last week. I have DVR'd as well so I guess I'll see how good or bad it is tonight.

[vidae]

I ended up not watching any TV last night. Cable box was being wonky and wouldn't load the stuff I had dvr'd.

I've heard good things about the Chuck episode so far, but haven't heard anything about The Event except what CC.SD posted. Anyone else catch The Event or last nights House episode? What'd you think?

And my favorite show pulled a 4.8 baby. HATERS GONNA HATE, I LOVE AMERICA

[Grizzlegom]

I was intrigued by The Event enough to tune in and watch it again next week. Wasn't blown away or drawn in by any means but it was good enough to get a couple more looks.

House was alright, my g/f loved it but I am, admittedly, over that show and was paying more attention to the Phillies game.

As for tonight, Glee comes back!! I'm also pretty excited about Running Wilde, I like what I've seen from the commercials.

[vidae]

Yeah, Glee coming back is gunna be great. I have both Running Wilde and Raising Hope set to dvr too. Both look decent and could be worth a shot at least.

I'm excited about watching The Event tonight when my cable box unscrews itself. I've heard good things from a lot of people, and the ratings for the premiere were solid. And I'm excited about Chuck of course.

[iowatreat54]

We're talking about the American Revolution in one of my classes, and I really wish I could watch John Adams again.

I have the box set and I need to rewatch it. Great mini series.

I watched most of Hawaii 5-0 last night, and all I can say is meh. Love that it has Jin, Sharon, and Tweeder, but the dialogue was incredibly dull and forced, and it's too soon to accept Jin with a Hawaiian accent. That said, hopefully it improves/was just an issue with the pilot episode.

Also, I can't wait to watch Running Wilde. It's about time Gob got his own show. And yes I do mean Gob, not Will Arnett.

[A Perfect Score]

Grace Park is so retardedly hot it almost makes me want to watch Hawaii 5-0. And I actually don't mind Scott Caan. But I hate cop shows, so I probably wont watch it.

[iowatreat54]

1. Yes on Grace Park. The only thing hotter is Grace Park in a bikini. Yay.

2. The problem I had was Scott Caan wasn't very Scott Caan in the pilot. I'm hoping that it's just because it's the pilot, but he just didn't establish any personality and his lines were very sub par. Hopefully they make his character more like his normal characters, but the pilot didn't really inspire any hope.

And yea, it's basically going to be NCIS/CSI/whatever in Hawaii.

[vidae]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Grace Park. Mm.

I thought the Event was pretty solid for a pilot episode. Still too many questions to be answered but it has me intrigued. More so than Flash Forward did from the onset.

The big decision for me continuing to watch it will be how much they explain in the next episode. They still left you dark in the pilot, and if they plan on dragging it out for the whole season it'll be awful.

I also didn't like the format of the episode, as fenikz kind of alluded to. Hopefully it doesn't stay that way.

[Brodeur]

Tricia Helfer > Grace Park.

[iowatreat54]

Tricia Helfer > Grace Park.

Well that's a no brainer. Six > all others.

[LizardState]

From what little I saw of the House season premiere before I fell asleep I thought they'd shot their bolt plotswise. The weird cases they have to diagnose are still interesting but their stock characters were a big p/o of the show's hook, & they're kind of meh after so many yrs on the air.

The scripts needed to step it up after last yr. so we get the inevitable hookup Of House with Cuddy, BFD, they dated once in college so it's nothing new.

It looks like their best remaining eye candy character, Olivia Wilde as 13, is departing too. I predict some new characters introduced later or some wild unforeseen plot twists if they want to remain the #1 primetime drama -- Hugh Laurie's magnetism can hold it together only so long.

[Splat]

Putting anything above 4 is a sin.

I love season 4, but Season 1 is probably always going to be my favorite. I just love the buildup and getting to know Avon and his crew. Wee Bey is one of my favorite characters. I also thoroughly enjoyed Lester in season 1, the episode where he first takes charge and gets D's pager number is one of my favorite episodes of the series. Season 1 is also the season that makes me the least upset at Herc.

HBO already renewed Boardwalk Empire for a second season, seeing as how their premiere episode was their biggest in over six years.

To be honest, I find it a bit odd you hate a show this much after (maybe?) watching the pilot and yet you were a fan of Lost. It's also only the pilot.. you can't base a series off the pilot. Oh well, lol.

*shrugs*

I don't have hate, I just think the whole show is a marketing ploy. Pilots are used to judge whether or not a series should go to air at all, I'm gonna judge em vidae!

That thing was a mess. literally just a series of disconnected scenes with bad dialogue and characters, based around the idea that people would come back because it is literally impossible to make sense of? It stinks of manipulation and is just bothering me for some reason. I'll probably keep it on the Tivo and watch a bunch in a row if it picks up.

Because the Lost pilot was a goddamn masterpiece.

[Forenci]

Because the Lost pilot was a goddamn masterpiece.

I think people forgot why Lost pilot was so epic when they tried to do shows like The Event and Flash Foward. It was epic because it didn't start out as a 'questions' show, but rather it was this insanely frantic plane crash with crazy **** going on all over the place.

Season one was mostly about the survivors trying to...survive, and the beginning of the "unexplainable" element to the show.

I know Brodeur is a Lost fan boy, but I think most people agree that Lost started to become tedious when it's emphasis went on to the fantasy aspect of the show.

It wasn't the unexplainable that made Lost awesome (for a time), it was the characters and the way they interacted.

[NotRickJames]

Lost was great the first two seasons, mediocre the third, and horrible the rest of the way.

I actually liked FlashForward, shame ABC canned it.
