General Television Series Thread

My brother came over today and brought me a new tv series called Generation Kill.

It's a Band of Brothers style series set in Afghanistan or Iraq or something and is meant to be really good. Diane should enjoy as Erik from True Blood is one of the main characters.

Excellent reviews on imdb

It's about Iraq Bilbo and it is very good...it being done by HBO (a very liberal company) shows the ignorance of a lot of the officers in that war.

So even Miles might enjoy...

Anybody watch Alcatraz? By the creator of Lost and starring Hurley. I'm not going to bother unless I just hear amazing things. I'm still bitter about wasting so much time watching Lost.

Haha I'm right with you there, was obsessed with Lost like I have been no other show and still can't believe how badly it went to shit after season 3. I expected that they wouldn't really be able to tie up all of the plot lines and make it believable; but it's as if JJ Abrams just quit and let a fucking Chimpanzee take over at some point. I watched every episode to the finish and it really got painful towards the finale. And I do mean painful, because it was a show that took you for a great ride while it was good and made you become invested with the characters almost.

On another note though, the guy who plays Ben is in a new show that looks like it could really be good, heard about it?. He was about the only consistently watchable character on Lost after it became crap imo, really like him.

The show you are on about is Point of Interest with Jim Cavaziel.

I enjoyed the first few episodes but it got a bit samey and I lost interest.

I think there are about 11 or 12 episodes now and I watched 9. I might download the others at some point.

And Henry VIII once jousted without closing the visor on his helmet and caught a joust to the face! Which began his health issues.

I've been catching up on tv shows from my youth I've seen episodes of 'Perfect Strangers', great stuff Balki Bartakimous, but that Cousin Larry was a huge Negative Nancy! I've got 'Max Headroom' in my queue. I want to see some 'Empty Nest' and 'Night Court'.

Perfect Strangers hahaha..... loved that show.

Funny timing on that, I watch channels like HGTV and DIY Network, and last Saturday a new show started called the Bronson Pinchot Project. I guess he buys old homes and loves to restore them. He's working on an old Georgian style home in PA in this series.

I think this weekend I'm going to pull out my Twin Peaks dvds. I haven't watched that in some time, and I feel like watching something twisted.

Have you tried watching Alcatraz? I've been watching it, and I really like it so far, just wondering how you liked it.

No. When its over, if I hear good things I'll watch it. Otherwise I'm done with Lost type shows.
