Haven't read further back, but i'm disapointed one of the few shows I watch regularly, Fringe, is being moved to friday nights. One of the more unique shows out there that needs to stay. They should have left it in its orginal Tuesday time slot. Oh wait, Fox has to make room for it's crappy American Idol. Hopefully they don't kill the show like they do with their other shows.
Other shows I love to watch, Futurama, South Park, Tosh.O...
Tosh.O absolutely cracks me up.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Has anyone else seen the show Extreme Couponers? These people are nearly as bad as the hoarders.
I'm all for saving money and everything but these people are getting $600 - $1000 worth of groceries at a time. Sure they use coupons and end up bring their totals down to like $5 but who really needs that much food at one time? One woman goes shopping 3 times a week. Another lady had 8 shopping carts full and needed two cars to get all her stuff home. That was after she broke the register because it went over it's limit of items scanned.
We usually go every other week and if we have a few coupons here or there great. But I'm not going to limit my shopping based on what I have coupons for. Plus I hate the fact that so many of them force you to buy 3 and 4 things to save 50 cents when you really only wanted 1 to begin with.
I've noticed recently that some stores have started limiting the number of times you can use the same coupon in one trip. I guess it's to eliminate people like this who come in with 30 of the same coupon and wipe their shelves out of certain products.
Most of what I really like isn't on right now: True Blood, Dexter, Breaking Bad
I'm not super into these shows, but they help me with mental downtime: Fringe, V
Sad about this one getting cancelled: Stargate SGU
Comedies I adore: Community, Big Bang Theory
Other than that, I haven't found anything to replace LOST yet.
I don't mind Fringe being moved to Friday nights since it's convenient for me, but FOX moving it to Fridays is not a good sign. The late-night Friday time slots are where shows are sent to die. And on FOX? Definitely not good. I'm hoping that the show still attracts the same amount of viewers regardless of the change, though.Originally Posted by strungoutboy21
A NEW GAME BEGINS
What do you think? Did it get better for you? I hope you continue on and finish it.I finished season 1, but took a break to do a re-watch of Fringe S2.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
It did get little bit better, but it still feels a bit soap opera-y. I was thinking it was going to be more Lost-esque in terms of freaky stuff happening all the time.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Tonight is the American version of Being Human 9pm on scifi. The previews look alright, I just think it's to bad I watched the UK series first, because I'll be judging.I read somewhere that everyone was trying to push it being set in the South when it was first being pitched, but John Wells fought against it, saying, "We have a comedic tradition of making fun of the people in those worlds. The reality is that these people aren't 'the other' — they're people who live four blocks down from you and two blocks over."Funny, I was just watching clips of that last night, and whilst it doesn't look too bad for an American remake (I'm rather surprised it's set in Chicago and not somewhere in the South as what would've been tempting to do), the only thing I don't like hearing about is how much the actors are going on about how "original" it is!Still, if it works in the US, then it can't be too bad.
That reminds me, has anyone heard of Episodes? A new sitcom about how a pair of successful English tv writers get their show Americanised, to the point where the role written for an old, Shakespearian actor is replaced by Matt LeBlanc? It looks ok so far, though I'm really looking forward to seeing more of LeBlanc sending himself up.
I have to say that William H. Macy is pretty awesome as Frank. I actually like him better than the original.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I feel the same way about Being Human. I set it to record on my dvr, but I am not sure how I will feel about it. I have only seen the first season of the original, though. I had a hard time staying interested once the government stuff started happening for some reason.Tonight is the American version of Being Human 9pm on scifi.

There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
there's too many shows that i love. one i just got into that you all should give a try is "The Metalist' i've been downloading season 1 to watch, than delete this episode or that one. so i can watch it. at some point i'm sure i'll buy the seasons but not right now though i LOVE mystery, drama, horror
mostly, sci-fi is good too so in short it various. my favorite tv show of all time is 'Lost in space" actually my 2nd one is "Dark Shadows" the original one. so in short my tastes vary. one that premieres tommrow nite is "White Collar" on USA you all should watch that show if you have the channel & have never seen it before. it's a great show.
American version of being human was actually pretty damn good. Of course I am biased. I love Sam Witwer and and Sam Huntington in pretty much anything
If you love me then love me..
I still have yet to check it out (American Being Human). Yaksha..love the av/sig combo.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I worked as an extra on this tv movie/pilot this week for a couple of days. After it's wrapped and there's a trailer for it I'll post it. Won't be on tv until this fall.

Judging from the scenes I was in it looks funny as hell.
woohoo another Dallas, Texas show...waiting on the Dallas revamp....lol....
Does whatever a spiderman does.
To anyone who hasn't watched Dr Who, but loves Neil Gaiman:
Watch tonight's episode, "The Doctor's Wife", that was actually written by the man himself. It is brilliant. It is 100% Who, true, but it's also 100% Gaiman. That was clear to me the moment the Aunt, the Uncle and the House were introduced.
Best of all, it's perfectly standalone. The only thing you need to know about the show is that it's about a madman in a time travelling magic box. That's it.
Anyway, watch it, enjoy it, love it, as it's probably one of the best pieces of telly you'll watch this year.
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.
You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me. - Melike
Standalone, you say? Sounds like this is one I can watch!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
That, plus it's written by Gaiman, obviously!

No, I haven't read/watched anything Gaiman-related.

Bloody hell, you need to start working on that! A fantastic writer! Just ask Pond (or better known as alkanto on this board) for a way to watch it if you don't have BBCAmerica.

We have BBCAmerica, but I never watch it. Although, I DID turn it on for at least a minute when the Dr. Who clip show was on a couple weeks ago.

Neil Gaiman's the man! I love reading his blog.

Well, I know it's on at 9/8 on that channel in America tonight. Keep an eye for it, then be sure to post your thoughts in the Who thread! You're gonna need to have a new awesome show to be addicted to, after all, and they don't come much better than Who!We have BBCAmerica, but I never watch it.

I've read a few of the Sandman GNs which I enjoyed. (I got them from the library and largely read them out of order, but at some point I hope to buy them.) As for Gaiman telly, there was a series that was on a while back, Neverwhere. I watched a little bit when it was on, but missed the rest. I picked up the series on video from the library a couple of years back, and it was rather interesting.That, plus it's written by Gaiman, obviously!
I understand Gaiman went on to write a novel based on his story which might be even better. (Part of the reason why he wrote it was before there were certain things that he felt didn't translate to screen well if at all.)
I loved Neverwhere its what turned me onto Neil Gaiman. I have the DVD and the book. I highly recomend watching it to anyone that gets a chance
Just watched it again. Dark, funny, beautiful, emotional, sad, joyous, and with one scene so disturbing it may be traumatising to kids: yep, The Doctor's Wife may very well be the best piece of telly this year, full stop! No ifs, no buts: there's gonna be very little from any show to match that piece of perfection!
