That TV Series You're Watching

[elderbroom]

High Scool of the Dead - Anime with zombies and fan service. As a zombie fan it's a fun watch, but I feel dirty watching it.

Thanks to you .. I've now grabbed season 1, and am 2 episodes into it.  Still not sure what to think ;-)  but will give it acouple more episodes to hook me.

[NightWolve]

OK, gonna give the new live-action Batman series from FOX a try right now, "Gotham." All 4 episodes of the starting season are still up on hulu.com for free.

I've been enjoying Once Upon a Time on Netflix.  Pretty good series IMO.

[munchiaz]

Right now I'm just watching "The Walking dead" So far the new season has been pretty good

[PukeSter]

Got into One Piece. I have a lot of catching up to do, but I finished the Arlong Park saga. Really great so far.

[HailingTheThings]

Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors. This is magic. This is why we're here.

[Bloufo]

Just finished watching the mini-series- 'Ascension'

I'm guessing this is one of those you'll either love or hate.
I thought it was different to what is currently out there. That's always a good thing in my book.

[jeffhlewis]

Been catching up on seasons 2 and 3 of American Horror Story while season 4 is on break...always love how the entire show changes each season to a totally new plot/time/scenario, but with the same actors.

[MrFulci]

One of my favorite, TV episode intros.. before the series' opening credits.... Unforgettable;

Agreed, that is a truly great opening scene.




Currently watching (once a week):

Inspector Morse — I haven't seen some of these in over 20 years. I only remember a few random things each episode. I love it, but lots of folks might find it boring.


Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries — OK, I dismissed this at first, only to realize that it is a friggin' fun, fun show.


Sopranos — Rewatching this for third time. BECAUSE WE TRY TO GUESS THE LOCATIONS (lots of NJ locations).

[Opethian]

finishing up season 4 of Game of Thrones cant wait for season 5 to start!

[mitsuman]

My wife and I have been watching Dexter when we can. I think we are in season 4.

We will watch orange is the new black when the next season starts. We basically binge watched the first two seasons earlier this year.

We have also been re-watching a lot of Psych episodes.

I watched all the Psych episodes again before the final season. It was a lot of fun.

[mitsuman]

Yeah, it's a good show.
My wife got me into it.

[NecroPhile]

I finished up Brisco County Jr. over the weekend, so next up are Arrested Development and Kingdom Hospital (I got 'em both for x-mas).

[wildfruit]

Been watching the tv version of das boot. Its epic. I've got a dvd that breaks it into one long episode instead of 3 or 6 individual ones.

[KnightWarrior]

Gotham on Fox

Last Man Standing & Cristla on ABC

Any relation to 80's film Das Boot? That was a good film.

Yea the tv series was the original and it was cut down for the cinema. Was shown as a tv show in Germany and England.

That's awesome. I had no idea.

Man that was a good show.  I could have watched it for a few more seasons for sure.

I'm rewatching X Files now.  In the middle of season 2.  Bringing back lots of fond memories.

[NightWolve]

Got caught up with "Gotham" and intend to finish the Highlander TV series on Hulu. Been stuck at season 4 for a long time, but my new 30 Mbps Comcast connection is working very well, consistent speed, no dropouts, the used modem I scored on eBay seems A-OK, so streaming video is no longer a painful experience as it was with a 1.5 Mbps DSL line!

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!

[SuperGrafx]

Not much of a TV series watcher.
But I recently found a few seasons worth of the old series, THE EQUALIZER and I'm enjoying them quite a bit

Dude, that series was great. I haven't really watched it since 80's, though. OLD WHITE DUDE IS TOUGH AS ____ (whatever).

I wish more shows featured older folks in main roles. I don't need 99% of movies/film filled with young folks.

[NightWolve]

Yeah, I used to the watch that CBS (I think?) series too, can almost remember the intro music.

They made a movie of it with Denzel Washington so I guess it's getting some looking-back publicity and discovery by the younger generation.

[PCEngineHell]

Just re-watched The Pacific. Now I am re-watching Band of Brothers. Also, Danger 5 Season 2 has started, and watched a couple episodes of Mike Tyson Mysteries.

[Bernie]

Started watching The Killing on Netflix.  It's one of the Netflix originals, and I must say....I really like it.

I have watched band of brothers many times. I couldn't get into the pacific though.

Same here.  I bought BoB on DVD and have watched it many times. So when The Pacific came out on DVD, I picked it up and almost didn't finish it.  But I persevered and once I was done I sold it.

It wasn't bad, imo. It just didn't grip me like BoB did.

Now I want to watch Band of Brothers again....

Yes indeed!
The main character in the classic series is like a modern day mild-mannered ninja.
Albeit with gray hair and less flashy moves.
But still, a great series nonetheless.

[elderbroom]

Somehow I never saw "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" when it originally started.  Started watching that on Netflix last week and tearing through the first couple seasons.  Not sure how I missed this .. so far, so good !

[esteban]

A show so shitty and unoriginal that it revels in its shittiness and unoriginality to the point of being originally and.... marginally unshitty.

Z-Nation.

SyFy

it is a guilty pleasure I never expected to have... let alone admit to.

I don't think I've watched anyone on the SciFi channel in many, many years.

They used to play "Tales From the Darkside"...that's the only thing I watched, and it must have been 8 years ago.

[NightWolve]

the SciFi SyFy channel

Accept the reality, este... ;)

[wildfruit]

Watching a series on crunchyroll called no dropping out. Its about a 35yo woman that goes back to school and ends up trying to solve everyone's problems. Sounds like a shit premise but it's actually quite decent and mildly amusing.

So, I was desperate for more "Tim and Eric" stuff and then I discovered a "film review" show with just one of the fellows from the duo. Granted, I don't watch watch much stuff, so this is old news for most folks, but I was happy to find it.

ON CINEMA

I give 7 out of 10 bags of popcorn.

Yes, of course it is silly and goofy.

"Chiller", about 1 day a week, or month, or something, for a long many hours block, re-runs TFTDS. Same with Monsters, and Friday the 13th: The Series. All are available on DVD now, also! Monsters, as of 2013.


*TFTDS DVDs, some episodes have their soundtrack edited a bit on DVD. Other than that, the other 2 series on DVD are as-aired, as far as I know. I watched every episode on the Monsters set, and it was as it should be, to my recollection, brief nudity and all (In that great episode, about the killer rats.). I've yet to attempt the same with TFTDS or F12 series.

[SuperGrafx]

I was checking out the Amazon Originals series "Transparent" last night.
Apparently amazon had the entire season up for free viewing to commemorate some Emmy award or something.
Actually pretty good.

[mitsuman]

Started watching Scandal on Netflix with my wife. I am oddly drawn to that show.

[esteban]

I watched a bunch of complete Carol Burnette shows. Hadn't seen most of these as an adult (I was just a kid and didn't understand half the jokes). Awesome.

[wildfruit]

I'm watching chi's new address. Its about the cutest little cat. Kawaii!

[Sadler]

Anyone catch Better Call Saul? It's off to an amazing start!

[Medic_wheat]

Anyone catch Better Call Saul? It's off to an amazing start!

I did it was better then I gave the premise creadit for.  In fact I cant wait for the next episode. The only problem I see.  It is set six years befor BB. That means what? Six season maximum?

[wildfruit]

Just had x-files box set delivered. 150hrs of mystery!!

[InfraMan]

I have so many fond memories of watching The Carol Burnett Show when I was very (very) young. I don't think there's ever been anything funnier on TV than Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. It's probably second only to All in the Family as my all-time favorite comedy show.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the wife and I just finished watching the Series 6 finale of Downton Abbey. As a male person, I really feel like I enjoy that show way more than I should.

The one sketch that always cracks me up is the Nazi interrogator with his repertoire of techniques.

You probably know it...if not, watch it now!

Heh, that's good stuff. Poor Lyle Waggoner was really outclassed by the talent around him... he basically ended up being a warm body for most of the sketches. He seems like a super-nice guy, though.

Also, pretty much any sketch where Tim played the slow old man character was a winner for me.

The real payoff, of course, is the puppet. But I didn't want to ruin it. There are some clips that include just the puppet, but it is much funnier seeing the sketch build up to that point.

All of the gags in that sketch are pretty generic, except for the puppet. But, it doesn't matter how cliched the gags are, the performances make it enjoyable.

Speaking of performances....I know, Lyle is barely present in that sketch.

...

Yes, Tim did crazy physical humor. The old man defied the laws of physics. Crazy.

...

One thing I didn't know was that the show taped a "regular" version of a sketch and then, later, taped a  freer "ad-lib, if you want to" version. Conway, it seems, made it his personal goal to get the other folks to laugh.

[ToyMachine78]

I'm watching Falling Skies. I never saw it when it originally aired. Its pretty much The Walking Dead with aliens instead of zombies. The acting isn't quite as good though.

[NecroPhile]

Start with Terms of Endearment (season 6, episode 7).
