Love Mock the Week, every week.

[Kev]

Very promising new American ries called Point of Interest. It stars the creepy bad guy out of Lost and Jim Caviezal, and judging by the pilot is a very stylish and decent crime/spy/espionage thriller.

Loved the first episode, a bit formulaic but a couple of twists and looks like it will build well over the series.

Definitely one to watch.

It's called Person of Interest.

And yeah, I'm really liking it. Only 2 episodes so far, but I'll definitely keep watching it. It's hard not to look and listen to Finch, and not think of him as Ben though. And I've been a fan of Jim Caviezels for a long time. He's yummy hot.

I was a little disappointed with Terra Nova though. I'll give it a little more time, and see if it gets better, if not, I'll stop.

Happy to have Boardwalk Empire back.

Jonesing for True Blood though. Twelve episodes is just not enough. BTW, sorry Bilbo, it doesn't look like you'll ever see Jessica's tits.

There's a new series on Showtime starting on Sunday night called Homeland. It looks pretty good, and I'll be giving that a look.

[OumaFan]

I haven't caught any of the new shows.

I do like dual survival though. Except for the part where they remind us every five minutes that Cody doesn't have shoes on. We fucking know.

I'm a survival show junkie, the only one I don't like is man vs wild. Fucking awful. Survivorman was the all time great but I only watched one episode of that guy's next show, it was all about voodoo and I just didn't care. I even watch man woman wild which is pretty terrible. Like really terrible. The wife isn't bad though.

Yes, man vs wild is just annoying these days. Totally ridiculous at times. Survivorman was the best, but I agree that his next show was boring. I hate it when white people try to get in with other cultures and practice dances that make them look ridiculous. Just sit back and let them do it, stop looking like an aging fricking hippy. He has gone down a notch in my estimation because of that. Boring programme.

That man and woman in the wild was kind of okay. I enjoyed that at times.

Have ypu watched any Idiot Abroad 2 yet Miles? I caught the first episode, that wa very funny. He went to visit a tribe who worship Prince Philip as a god and got to stay on a desert island with his own Man Friday.

They gifted him a pair of leaf pants and he was begging not to have to wear them. Funny stuff.

Hey Di, good to see you on here

I've pretty much given up on seeing any Jessica nips now. Stupid vampire prude.

Oh well, actually although I love True Blood I'm not missing it as there are a ton of good things to watch right now.

Terra Nova is a winner, it has dinosaurs, that's good enough for me, even if they are made up dinosaurs based on new evolutionary hypotheses of what they would like to find. But anyway, still dinosaurs.

Person of Interest it is indeed, you know how I love to be corrected...and it's a great show.

Dexter is back, as is Hung so that's cool.

Also Time magazine previewed the autumns biggest new shows. Homeland was voted their best new pilot so I will definitely be watching that.

The other recommendations were as follows, Ive downloaded them but not watched yet;

Ringer - A thriller with Sarah Michelle Geller who assumes the identity of her missing twin. Actually looking forward to this. First three episodes are already out.

UP All Night - Think that's the name. A comedy about a young couple with a baby starring Christina Applegate and Will Arnett.

Pan Am - A 1960's comedy drama about life amongst a group of air sterwadesses. Doesn't sound like my kind of thing, but Christina Ricci is in it, so I will give it a go.

We've also got Walking Dead 2 to come as well so some great stuff out there.

Really enjoyed the finale of Alphas as well. That was a fun little show.

[Kev]

Oh, and one more, American Horror Story.

looking forward to that too.

You will notice all of my favourite shows are American. Us Brits make shit television. Nature docs and the news is all we are good for..

Thanks, and always good to talk with you as well.

It was funny when they showed Jessica and Jason having sex for the first time, and she was holding her hands over her breasts, I started laughing, because all I could think about was you yelling at the tv telling her to move her hands.

I watched the first episode of Homeland, and loved it, this looks like it's going to be a keeper for me.

Still not sold yet on Terra Nova after watching the 2nd episode. Will give it a little more time though.

Sky is cute, as is the main guy's oldest daughter.

He and his son are total cunts though, I hope they both get eaten and that science boff steals his wife.

It annoyed me that they made the science guy out to be something sinister because he headhunted an old girlfriend he still cared about to be part of the Terra Nova project. I mean they come from a dying world with no future. Surely any decent man would the do the same and try and get his old friend a place in this new world with a future.

But I get it. He is a bespectacled, weedy man, ergo a scheming loser, whereas hubby is buff of chest and bicep'd henced self evidently the better man.

Nonetheless I will continue to hope in vain that a carnosaur gets him.

[Gandalf]

Damn, I didn't know there was a second series. Thanks for the heads up!

[ono]

Curb Your Enthusiasm is my all time favourite i think. Pretty, pretty, pretty gooooood.

[Spicoli]

FINALLY...The Walking Dead returns tonight!!!!!

And what the hell happened to the guy and his son left in the suburbs in the debut

damn can't wait for this!

I have too much to watch right now. Going to have to ditch a couple shows I think.

Currently weekly watches are.

Dexter
Terra Nova
Homeland
Ringer
Pan Am
Person of Interest
An American Horror Story
Walking Dead
Up All Night
Suburgatory
An Idiot Abroad
Celebrity Juice
Ultimate Fighter S16

Normally the only tv I watch is HBO and Showtime boxing on a weekend.

Going to have to trim this list down, or save up some for later..

[Diane]

I'm almost ready to give up on Terra Nova, it's just not doing it for me yet.

Still really loving Homeland, Person of Interest, and American Horror Story.

Bilbo did you notice some True Blooders on American Horror Story? The toasted marshmallow is played by Russell the Mississippi King Vamp, and the boring patient who slit her wrists was Tara's mother.
