false prophets everywhere! In renton we trust. RENTONTON :x
Dunno, once I came to the realization that Renton actually might not look like Rick James I lost all faith.
They're both brown...I can confirm thisQuote:

speaking of sopranos, this was always one of my favorite madtv sketches

^ Wufwugy has redeemed his latest string of shitty posts.
JK Wuf, love you.
what shitty posts? you mean the ones i made that brought in several new players for ww or the others i made while drunk trying to get the number up to 25?
old news, drunk news, and your mother
Um...Hi I'm wufwugy?
i wonder how many people remember why that was said in the first place. or even who said it
Not sure, but I'd bet money that it was bigredQuote:

I'm planning on showing students some video in class as a treat where they have to write what they see, etc. Mr. Bean is perfect. It would be nice to have a back-up.
Benny hill? Famous in the UK for his comedy show that would generally culminate in him (bald, old, ugly) being chased around by a group of hot scantily clad young women, but speeded up with silly banjo style chase music. Could also be the ideal intro to your ulterior motives as a teacher.
When does Mad Men get good?
Not in the first episode which is all I gave it.
I'm watching the Sopranos again...I almost hate this show the second time around.
Janice sucks. She's the worst. She makes me hate the show. This adds to my All Women in Shows Suck theory.
Ya I would punch that bitch in the face if she was real and wasn't a soprano and I was a woman beating cunt.
Yeah I always just have to fast forward anything with his sister or mom.Quote:

Edit: Oh and the super awesome super hot brunette in Freaks and Geeks
Game of Thrones female cast crushes pretty hard imo.
elaine in seinfeld???!??!?!? shes awesome
Rachel from Friends for Tic Tac factor alone.
I didn't like Elaine in the later seasons. Why did she become all bitchy and too good for them all of the sudden? I liked her character more when she was like a cute little sister to them.Quote:

Shameless is moving up from my Good Tier to my Great Tier.
yeah but she got way hotter in later seasons when she lost the wall of hair so...might be a wash :?Quote:

I'm finally getting around to watching season 2 of Boardwalk Empire. Just watched episode 3. This season is gonna be awesome.
oh Boog, youve got some good tv coming your way
Just started Alcatraz, good start bit cheese but should be fun, old event horizon Sam Neil in it, badass!
Can someone recommend a good european/british show? (If its subbed, i can take something thats not in english too).
Theres obv countless examples of old school bbc (anything with the monty python ppl for instance), but im at a loss for newer stuff. I marathoned the fuck out of sherlock and loved it, and am hoping someone can direct me to something else thats equally awesome that ive never even heard of.
Coupling and Extras are two fantastic British comedies.
Only the first three seasons of Coupling. After Jeff left it sucked
I agree with all of this!Quote:

grunching, but has anyone watched How to Make it in America? Wife and I just finished season 1 and its a solid show. Sort of similar to the first couple seasons of Entourage in style with alot of the same team producing/directing. Its a shame that season 3 isnt going to be made.
Shameless is fantastic.Quote:

Just finished The IT Crowd, was indeed amazing. Funnier in the earlier seasons, but still entertaining at the end.
But this guy isn't in the earlier seasons.Quote:

Starting 2nd season of Fringe. It's trashy but it's fun. Like a new xfiles.
I think there was a GOT thread somewhere... what happened to it?
A friend of mine strongly insisted that I gave Fringe a shot. By the 6th episode of the first season, I was convinced that every episode from here on out will be written the exact same way. It became redundant fast.Quote:

Boner for Cranston.
you may or may not like it, but I can almost guarantee this won't be why.Quote:

It isn't a great show by any means but if you're a sci fi person I would stick with it.
The mad scientist character is great. I never tire of his inappropriateness. I agree the shows not amazing, but its entertaining enough.
Thirded, not great but well worth the watch.
Have to say I was really disappointed by The Walking Dead S02, getting nowhere fast.
Also, Person Of Interest is ok.
Nice to htink I can get 4 or 5 seasons out of it.Quote:

How the hell is this an 8.7 on IMDB?
Edie: referring to TWD
Fringe only got 8.5, which would have seemed about right based on most of the scores of TV series Id seen prior to TWD.
ya, everyone (in the OOTV thread) is baffled by the ratings this show gets. It's constantly breaking records.Quote:

The more realistic theory is that the incompetent writers/editors have just luck boxed the perfect storm.
over the years, imdb ratings have gotten worse and worse. this is due to more access by younger/stupider people. so you have to look at other factors. one easy example is that superhero films are ALWAYS overrated, often by a lot. people are just in need for good ones, so when something decent comes along, they cream everywhere over it
TWD is the only zombie thing on TV and it's somewhat watchable, therefore everybody loves it. If it wasn't about zombies or post-apoc, but instead something like a high school drama, it wouldn't have gotten past 3 episodes
The ratings don't surprise me but the critical scores do. I think it's watchable but looking at some of the shows around 80 on meta critic it doesn't really compare with any of them.
Also, season 1 is rated slightly higher than season 2 which seems totally inexplicable.
I guess end of day I'm glad it's doing well, we need more horror shows on TV.
All that said, it was worth it just for the Mad Men TWD themed trailer.
TWD is like Nickleback.
Everyone hates them but they do so well cause it's so awesome!
The problem with TWD is that they never approach the problems in an interesting way. Every choice they seem to make is in the name of drama. They never seem to be making any real tactical decisions facing the zombie invasion.
Zombie down a well? Better tie a rope around someone and lower him in... oh noes drama!
It's an interesting problem to solve - a zombie in your water supply.
Dramatic discussion about killing some hostage - awesome. Walk outside and get surprise mauled by a zombie. How are you not more prepared for this shit!?
yeah this is lolQuote:

I think that for a show/movie/w/e to have characters not knowing something important that the viewer knows it needs to be a much higher quality for it to remain interesting.
yeah I agree. I can't remember what exactly happens when, but there were a couple points I almost stopped watching.
at this point the plot is so infected with time stream shifts/universe jumping/time travel (yes, those are all different things that have happened! (more than once!)) it seems unlikely we can ever go back to where it all started, I have just decided to let go and let god. but individual eps have been pretty good this year.
breaking bad getting good
meh its alright. although im not worried, it always picks up towards the end of any season.
I watched BB until the 3rd or 4th episode of the 3rd season. LOVED it up to that point, then it just started to draaaaag so gave up on it. :(
You missed out dude, big time.

the waitress in the first ep arranging walt's bday bacon is proof that skyler is dead because she was always supposed to do it. so basically walt kills skyler. also walt dies at the end, that's what the gun's for. he holes up and probably kills several cops or something before they gat him
also the newsroom is pretty goddamn awesome
best wufwugy sig yet btw.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE DANGER???
Huge fail :)Quote:

Guess I'll give it another shot.. :/
3 is possibly the best season
Well don't I just feel like a horse's ass. Just another day in the life of drangerfish!
Dranger might be the biggest fail I know.
^ya but ur the one who thinks everybody looks like mike tyson
In before Boog asks where I got the gif of Mike Tyson.

About halfway through season 1 of Mad Men. Seriously slow shit. It gets better... right?
It's always gonna be slow though.Quote:

I gave up halfway through season 2 and was told I would like it but haven't gone back yet.
I got half way through s1e1 and knew I'd never get into it and gave up.
I went up to S01E05 or E06 and gave up.
i never even gave it a chance after reading way too many reviews like the last few posts.
