Title: TV - what's giving you square eyes?
Post by: James Dodsworth on November 13, 2006, 07:40:34 AM
I appear to be *ahem* watching a lot of American TV series at the moment. British TV is generally awful apart from some good news programmes and documentaries.

I have attempted to watch Torchwood, but it is mind-numbingly awful and I may skip the rest of the series after the horror that was "Cyberwoman". Robin Hood I haven't seen - I am told I am not missing much.

Anyway, what programmes are you lot watching a the moment? My list is:

Lost - or it will be when it's back on in February.
Battlestar Galactica - Probably the greatest thing on TV, it's like being put through physical and mental anguish each week.
Heroes - Keeps getting better, and Jen is hooked on it now.
Jericho - Very Slow, but nice concept that is in dangering of going nowhere and becoming a Mutant Little House on the Prairie.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - Really enjoying this, cracking dialogue - just wish they'd drop actually showing the material because it's not funny. Very glad it's now got a full 22 episode run.
My name is Earl - Series 2 is up and running, and Burt Reynolds was in the second episode and it was still funny. Jason Lee is great. Even if he is a Scientologist...
Family Guy - New episodes are out there, consistently funnier than The Simpsons, but does try a little too hard sometimes.
American Dad - see Family Guy.

Torchwood this week was alright.  Infinitely better than cyberbikiniwoman.

Due to a nice man we've just started to see Galactica Season 3 and we have Heroes to watch from the start.

We really want to see Veronica Mars Season 3.

Enjoying torchwood though more or less for Captain Jack.. he's just adorable!

I do like Robin Hood, because it is very silly.

Veronica Mars is a must when the new season comes out.

Boston Legal is the same.

BSG is really good though Mark wouldn't let me finish watching the last 2 episodes!

Normally I'd say Leave no man Behind Sab. But Its BSG and its worth continuing alone. He'll catch up later.

I love'd the build up to Episode 4 big Bang.

Whereas now it's Sabrina who is holding me back on BSG watching as she wants to be able to concentrate on it.

That's because I'm helping to build you figures.

It takes lots of concentration and I've still got glue on my hands!

  Not much at the moment.  I'm watching TORCHWOOD at this stage, more out of a sense of morbid curiosity than active enjoyment (Although the PJ Hammond episode was fun and notable for the things he clearly wanted nothing to do with.  Like the unnecessary sex.  And most of the cast.).
  Aside from that I'm really enjoying Galactica Year 3 now the world's clunkiest Iraq metaphor is behind us, have some episodes of HEROES to catch up on and have been really pleasantly surprised by SUPERNATURAL year two.  Not only have they completely retooled the show and placed it in a distinctly Buffy-esque universe but have also started tying up some tiny but niggling loose ends from season one (The newest episode sees the Winchester boys favourite hobby of credit card fraud bite them quite spectacularly on the ass).  Have heard nothing but good things about VERONICA MARS and I suspect the season one boxed set may be on my Christmas list.

How I hate that.

We bought a glue hardener that you spray and it quickly dries the glue... course it doesn't care where the glue is.

Grr.

Not much right now. The Bill, repeats of Scrubs, Have I Got News For You, QI.

Waiting for the new series of Desperate Housewives, and may give the new season of Lost a go. Maybe.

QI is a great show when I catch it.

Probably a good job we don't watch too much TV actually on a television a the moment, as ours blew up last night...

We warned you about watching dodgy stuff.

Bloody David Attenborough's fault in that case.

Latest episode of BSG was excellent.

I continue to be emotionally exhausted by this series and may have to lie down in a quiet room to get over it.

Started watching Dexter, it is very strange.

In case you've never heard of it, Dexter is a forensic pathologist specialising in blood splatter patterns on murder cases.

Oh, yeah - he's also a serial killer.
