Jaaakkkeee Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 The parks and rec hunting episode was fantastic. Brilliant tv. I don't think she was a female Michael Scott in season 1, she was over-competent, not incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Mad Men is at it's peak right now. This season has been unbelievably good. Another awesome episode this week. Confirming it's place as the second greatest tv show ever as declared by paranoid android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Been catching up on a few things – Season 5 of ’30 Rock’ – still good telly but I think it’s in danger of running too long and out of ideas if they keep going. Meanwhile Alec Baldwin is still the man. Describing his break up by text with Condaleza Rice as “me + you = frowny face”, ace. Also Season 7 of ‘Entourage’ which is still pretty cool and actually seemed a bit more varied than most seasons. Not quite enough of Ari going mental at folk though. I also had a Play.com gift voucher to spend, so I bought Season 1 of ‘Community’ to see what that is all about. Pretty ace, Senor Chang especially. And Chevy Chase is great in it because it is pretty much just like Clark Griswold got old and divorced and went to community college. Finally me and the missus are ploughing through ‘Green Wing’ again. The annoying speed up and slow down visuals still bug me somewhat but it’s a great programme. Stephen Mangan as Guy Secratan especially, just such an awesome shitebag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Finally me and the missus are ploughing.take it to the ace-ic thread. hehe.The live episode of 30Rock recently was outstanding. And Community is getting better and better. Office was okay. Back to usual for this season. Last weeks episode was outstanding with the total breakdown and such.Looking forward to Mad Men. Touch is on tonight though. That's some good watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a great character and just genuinely a really great comedy actor. The literal "cliffhanger" end to the season is just excellent. Watched a behind the scenes one-off about the Green Wing a long time ago, and it's pretty incredible how much of it is improvised. There's barely any script whatsoever. The writers just say "We want this to happen in this scene, so make it happen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah Statham and Sue White are obvious stand-out characters but Guy has just amused me lots this time out. Mark Heap is a great actor, he was ace as Brian in 'Spaced' as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm in love with Aubrey Plaza. And slowly but surely, I'm falling for Amy Phoeler. That must be what it is. She keeps getting more and more attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I wanted to watch that. There's just so much stuff to watch.gorged on parks and rec last night.

ca_gere Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Been ploughing my way through homeland. It's good but quite predictable. As soon as the smoking hot hooker showed up I thought 'she's gonna die next episode' and Damien Lewis banging Clare Danes was obvious. Still, Lewis is a quality actor and I'm looking forward to finishing it. Not much longevity in it as far as I can see but I hope to be surprised in the few episodes I have left.

Paranoid Android Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Breaking Bad is incredible although it is slightly lower than the top tier of The Wire, Sopranos and Mad Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the last episode, with that close up of that object you see in Walt's garden, that was more awe-worthy. It was like, woah.

kirsten Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Breaking Bad is pretty perfect. Great acting by every single person involved. I've only watched the first series, but two is on its way. I think it is the show I have been looking for. Have been rediscovering the beauty of the Sopranos recently. I think I was about 10 when it first aired over here and I watched it because I was a huge DeNiro fan and presumed it'd be like all his mafia films. I remember my mum stuck her head round my door and asked what I was watching. "The Sopranos" I replied. She shrugged and left. Apparently when she returned downstairs, she was flicking through the channels and saw a scene, presumably inside the Bada Bing or something, and realised that was the Sopranos. She came back to me and said that she didn't think I should be way watching it. I think it's the only thing I was ever "banned" from watching. I stuck with it secretly, though. When it got to the later series, she didn't care but her first ever experience of it stayed with her and she was convinced it wasn't for her.I went back to it recently and bought them all on DVD. During one particular scene, I found myself wanting to shout "tell Tony, Melfi!" at the screen and realised that my mother would do the same. I convinced her to give it a go from the start and she's now hooked. I told her I wanted to watch the final series with her, so we're working our way through it now. I know there are several episodes I missed when it went out and it's nice to see it all the way through now that I'm old enough to understand it all. I'd also completely forgot how great series five is on the whole, and the first three episodes of series six. I'll be sad when we finish watching it, but my boyfriend has just started series one for the first time, so I'll happily watch along with him![/cool story, bro] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Gone back to the start of Always Sunny in Philly. Well, Season 2. The one where they train Charlie and Dee to fight is just amazing."You ever punched a guy so hard in the eye that he swallowed it?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
