TV shows I love to watch

[Courty]

Following on from Mike's thread: here (http://ozgolf.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=271)

I love to watch:

Everybody Loves Raymond :lol: (I married into an Italian family... the similarities are scary)
Friday Night Footy! :twisted:
Sunday Arvo Footy! :twisted:

Anything I missed?

I wish the NBL would come back to Free-to-air broadcasting :roll: :cry:

[990B Luva]

NRL
ORIGIN
Simpsons
My Wife and Kids
CSI
Funniest Home Videos

[Jarro]

i mainly watch stuff on Foxtel, not a lot of free to air stuff :x

love the Discovery and National geographic channels .. great stuff.

plus any sport 8)

plus i have a lot of "videos" that i like to watch :wink:

[goughy]

I"m waiting patiently (not) for get smart to be released on dvd. The only tv show I want to own. My list of must watch shows would be too long to compile here.

Alias, 24, buffy (r.i.p. :oops: ), angel (I miss cordy). God knows what else would be on my list if I wasn't too tired to think straight. 8)

[AndyP]

6 Feet Under
Seinfeld

I'm not sure if there are others. :?

[amanda]

If I could only watch 1 show, it would be Alias.

Also love CSI, L&O Criminal Intent, My Wife & Kids (I hope when I have a family we can be that cool! Except for the teenage pregnancy thing!)

[mike]

Frontline
Simpsons
League
Golf
Defenseless little animals being eaten by carnivores on Discovery






Also love CSI,

Amanda, we used to watch this but it got to the stage the producers of the show seemed to be running out of ideas and now they just think of the most bizarre way a person can be murdered and make an hour of drivel.

[markTHEblake]

What I am watching now;

Get Smart
Married with Children
Game On.

Goughy, There are no plans for GS to be on DVD, see FAQ at www.wouldyoubelieve.com

Someone does sell approx 80 episodes on Ebay, they seem to go for about $50 - dopey bidders dont realise what they are paying for.

My life long dream is to own all 138 episodes, and have finally got the capture of Sat Tv with mono audio down to a fine art, just tonight. However in getting the audio right have suddenly created an interlace issue that didnt occur before. So gimme a year or so :-). Am preparing to make a DivX and DVD release.

[goughy]

Goughy, There are no plans for GS to be on DVD, see FAQ at www.wouldyoubelieve.com


I've got that site in my favourites. I check it every now and then to see if it has any news. Personally I can not believe you can get shows like the beverelly hillbillies on dvd (not that I have a problem with that show either) and not get smart. If you ever manage to get a copy of the shows I'll put my hand up for one. :D 8)

I believe that pay has a brady bunch athon this weekend where they are playing all episodes back to back. If only they would do that for get smart. I'd line up all my friends with pay and get each of them to tape me a seperate block.

[gazgolf1]

Mash (all time favorite).
X files.
ER
Friends was good until they tried to milk the franchise too much.
Will and Grace.
That new show The OC is ok,good perv session.
Smallville
Enterprise
Really there is nothing on TV that I just have to watch at the moment. :cry:

[markTHEblake]

I believe that pay has a brady bunch athon this weekend where they are playing all episodes back to back. If only they would do that for get smart.

They have had Smart-athons a few times over the years so I am sure that it will happen again. I cant remember how long its being since GS was on TV1 but it returned 1 week ago, and is playing Season 4, Ep 92 tonight, "The Worst Best Man", and next wed is Max & 99's wedding. (OK anyone is welcome to call me a Smart Ho).

Trivia: What is the only thing Max is afraid of (apart from pain, torture and death)?

[Golfgirl]

Shows I watch:

On Pay TV:
The golf - USPGA, LPGA and a little bit of EPGA....
Tennis if it is on
Skynews
Discovery and National Geographic channels

On free to air TV:
Friends
ER
CSI
Everybody loves Raymond
Sex in the City
the evening news (local and national)
A Current Affair

But mostly I just put the TV on as background noise while I sit here and type crap for you guys to read.... :oops: :wink:

[Flowergirl]

Frasier
Gee I typed that one and am now really struggling to think of anything else.
I'd like Millionare if it wasn't sooooooo sloooooow!! I am a sucker for quiz shows.
Loved six feet under....so black.but second series not as good as first.

[AndyP]

Loved six feet under....so black.but second series not as good as first.
Agreed. I wonder when the next series will be on here. :?

[goughy]

Rehash.

Read at wouldyoubelieve.com that get smart may be coming to dvd at the end of the year. HBO/time life may release it - I hope it dosen't mean those monthly mailed dvd's like hogans heros.

Borrowed seasons 1 to 4 from a mate (divx's from tv) and he's got season 5 as well.

That's it. But dont really watch them on tele, as the d/l series fro os are a long way ahead (except for ncis which i'm still waiting for)

[Fishman Dan]

I've been chasing The Shield series 5 for ever. It's 18 months old now. Channel 10 showed up to the end of series 4, and then nothing. Foxtel did the same thing, but never went to S5. They are now at the end of Series 6!

I've now picked up series 5 so I can pick up where I left off!

[jaybam]

Sorry but my favourite mindless tv fun is a show on foxtel called entourage. Absolutly bugger all story line but as i say mindless fun. Oh also enjoy the golf show on tuesday nights on fox .

Ryan

[BrisWesty]

Top Gear
The Amazing Race
Scrubs (watching the DVDs - can't be fagged staying up till the stupid times it gets put on whenever it is on)
Coupling (when it was on)

Re Top Gear - read the Hamster's autobiography. Bawled my eyes out at the whole horror and hopelessness of what it could be like to either have a brain injury or to be the partner of someone with a brain injury.

[goughy]

Lost, NCIS (coming soon woo hoo), enjoying Burn Notice, non-repeats of Medium, Criminal Minds, House. Can't wait till my TV turns up 'cause there's some stuff on 7 and 10 HD channels that we'd like to watch.

[raidrboy]

CSI

CSI Miami

Crime Investigation Channel

All sports channels,

[Eag's]

[Courty]

Apparently season 7 is the final. I need to catch up asap!

Yeah, that's the story. I can't wait. It's gonna be a ripper. :smt023

[goughy]

Just saw that WWoS is coming back on on sunday mornings soon. About time a weekend sports show was on again. I miss them.

I remember watching WWoS saturday arvo's with dad and then again Sunday mornings. Was great!

[Courty]

In my inbox this morning...


Tired of watching a football tournament your team isn’t even competing in? Find the spectacle of a dozen fame-hungry simpletons arguing in a bungalow a bit unfulfilling?

Well, fear not, Top Gear is back to make telly good again.

The World's three least-likely action heroes return this Sunday for the first of six brand new episodes. Along with the usual blend of motoring news, interviews, stunts and challenges, we’ll be unveiling our latest epic international race. Take a look (http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/seriespreview.shtml) at some of the highlights from the forthcoming series.

[sms316]

Can't believe the lack of love for House.

[Iain]

In my inbox this morning...

Awesome, although only 6 episodes? Their seasons are getting shorter and shorter.... :shock:


Can't believe the lack of love for House.

Love House!!:mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

Can't believe the lack of love for House.

I watched it once, liked it, but I cant get over the complete "out of character' acting by Hugh Lawrie.

I guess it demonstrates why actors dont like to be typecast. :lol:

[Xray]

House is an excellent show.
Love Stargate and Stargate Atlantis
The Unit
Star Trek and all its off spring,
Ultimate Force
Anything relating to the game we all love,
The traveling golfer, what a job she has.

[goughy]

Can't believe the lack of love for House.


House is an excellent show.
Love Stargate and Stargate Atlantis
Star Trek and all its off spring,


Big fans of House in our house too!

Also of Stargate and it's incarnations, although we haven't been watching it. Rob has an internet pal who was one of the 3 editors of Stargate and then he moved on to Atlantis.

I got her into Star Trek via Voyager which she got hooked on. She hasn't watched much else of it though. She was liking 'The Next Generation' but our vid store didn't keep much of it.

NCIS is my main show. Can't miss it, and I even love the repeats.

[markTHEblake]

Ultimate Force.

awesome show, especially the first two seasons. it lost its way a little after that when they changed scriptwrites and almost all the actors.

I have seen this come up for tomorrow morning, its a good series to watch if you are really into the finer points of this game.

4.30am BBC World
Spirit of Golf
Spirit of Golf encapsulates the heritage, tradition, nostalgia and competitive skills of the Royal and Ancient game.
Sport 30 mins

[Xray]

[quote=markTHEblake;234684]awesome show, especially the first two seasons. it lost its way a little after that when they changed scriptwrites and almost all the actors.

Yes the series did loose it's way after the 2nd series. Still quite watchable though.

As a kid I used to like watching Spyforce as well. Younger members are saying what is that show :)

[markTHEblake]

what is that show?

[Xray]

It was an Aussie show about WW2, the link will explain it better than I ever could.

http://www.classicaustraliantv.com/spyforce.htm

[Johnny Canuck]

Has the golf reality shoe "Big Break" made it over here yet?

I don't have Foxtel, but I caught a few episodes when I was in Canada. Not great, but pretty good fun.

[markTHEblake]

It was an Aussie show about WW2, the link will explain it better than I ever could.

Seems quite good, and starting to ring a very faint bell. Hopefully its around on DVD and I'll get it sometime.

Seems similar to "Rush" that its a quality show from the same era that never reached dizzy heights.

[Xray]

I remember Rush, Ballarat gold fields with John Waters.

[AndyP]

If anyone tells me what happens in season 2 of Dexter, I'll be pissed. Just finished watching season 1 and really enjoyed it. I've got season 2, but haven't started watching it yet.

The missus and I have been watching this the last few nights. We keep watching one more episode.

The shows I'm waiting on now are:
House
Lost
Heroes
Entourage
and Dexter when we finish the 2 seasons.

I used to claim I don't watch TV, but that's a few shows that I watch now.

[adlo]

We are smashing our way through Star Trek: Voyager for the second time. My wife is a massive ST fan. Mainly Next Gen/Voyager.

Other recent pick ups have been: Nathan Barley (for fans of great BBC comedy) and Spaced (Simon Pegg is a legend).

We don't actually watch TV, don't even have access. Just watch DVD's and anything I grab by Bit Torrent.

[goughy]

We are big voyager fans too. Started to get rob into next g, but the video shop stopped getting in the dvd's.

[adlo]

Download it. Files will be huge but worth it. Next Gen is great.

[poidda]

I've been watching one called The Black Donnellys. A bit of a Boston Sopranos. For some reason it got canned, but worth a look.

[Iain]

AndyP and Senecio, would I be able to pinch Dexter off one of you? Sounds interesting.

Iain

[AndyP]

No, but I have a mate that might be able to get it to you. :mrgreen:
He'll trade you for a stopwatch.

FWIW the missus and I are halfway through Season 2. Season 3 should start in the states soon, I think.

In fact a lot of the TV series are kicking off.

[senecio]

Sorry Iain, not sure I still have it. I'll have a look through my discs and get back to you.

[Iain]

Thanks Andy, I'll have to organize to come get it off your mate sometime soon!!

No Probs Ryan, thanks anyway.

[adlo]

We finished Voyager and the last 2 series of Next Generation.

Downloaded "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace". This is bloody funny stuff. Deliberately tacky, but very witty.

Also downloaded and watched series 5 of "Peep Show". Another classic (albeit crude) British comedy.

[gazgolf1]

Nuthin really grabbing me on the teev of late...the new series 9 have just picked up called Fringe looks interesting,still watching Weeds and Saving Grace but I have'nt got a show that I really hang out for each week.

[Grunt]

There is nothing at the moment to watch at all.

[Eag's]

Gaz, get into Entourage mate you would love it :smt023
Season 5 has just kicked off.

[dc68]

Drawn together, Family Guy, American Dad............. all good.

[AndyP]

Gaz, get into Entourage mate you would love it :smt023
Season 5 has just kicked off.That's the sort of stuff I was talking about. I rarely watch FTA, and don't have payTV.

[Courty]

Season 3 should start in the states soon, I think.


It's already started. 8)

I also have Ep1 of Fringe. I'll be watching it tomorrow to see if it's worth the hype.

[goughy]

There is nothing at the moment to watch at all.

I hang every week with baited breath waiting for my NCIS to start. Peeved off they took the repeats off which followed the new episode and stuck that new aussie thing on afterwards!!!

I could take some of that Dexter action too! Been getting nasty reception up here and the recordings haven't been overly watchable lately.

[sms316]

Almost cringing to admit it, but I actually like Wipeout. One of the hosts (John Henson) used to host The Soup on Foxtel (a stand up type show extracting the urine from talk shows), and was bloody funny on that too.

[Grunt]

I have watched wipeout a couple of times but it is for that good old human trait of looking for failure. Some classic falls/hits in it.

[terryand]

Gotta love Two and a half men. Been watching the small runs they used to put on (when Sale of the Century was out of season) for a few years now and it only seem to have gained some recognition in last 6 to 12 months.

Terry.

[damoocow]

Almost cringing to admit it, but I actually like Wipeout. One of the hosts (John Henson) used to host The Soup on Foxtel (a stand up type show extracting the urine from talk shows), and was bloody funny on that too.

I love Wipeout ! - the kids and I almost wet our pants with laughter each week watching it - the commentary is priceless...

[gazgolf1]

Gaz, get into Entourage mate you would love it :smt023
Season 5 has just kicked off.

I was mate for the first 2 seasons then drifted away,might give it another go.

[Julie]

At the moment I love Judge Judy, you have to love her when she gets mad at the defendants and plaintiffs before her, and she really gives them a "right bollocking"!!:lol::lol::lol:

[Courty]

Just a heads up that the Oz version of Top Gear is on SBS tonight at 7:30pm.

[Jarro]

Gotta love Two and a half men.

I must confess that i am also starting to watch this every night ... it certainly appeals to my sense of humour 8)

[Grunt]

Just a heads up that the Oz version of Top Gear is on SBS tonight at 7:30pm.

Will be watching for sure.

[Bruce]

Just a heads up that the Oz version of Top Gear is on SBS tonight at 7:30pm.

It was surprisingly non horrible.

[Dazza]

It was surprisingly non horrible.

Not bad so far.
Some of the camera angles both on the test track and the in-cars were ordinary.
They need to stick to the same angles on the test track each lap so we can get an idea of what it's like, and compare how different cars react around the different turns. They seemed to use a different set of angles each lap.
(Hope that made sense!)

Jokes aren't overly funny. They seem to be trying a bit too hard.
Early days yet, so I'm sure it can improve.

I reckon the Stig is either John Bowe or Jason Bargwanna.

[Courty]

It had a lot to live up to, and fell a little short. Charlie is a bit of a tool, and the other two seemed to be overacting just a smidge, but I'll still watch it.

[dc68]

I thought if was shite.... the footy show with cars.

[Bruce]

For a first episode it went alright. It will develop its' own style over time. I think they have got a lot of help from the UK looking at the credits. There is far more cash on show in the production than I have ever seen from SBS. There are some big bikkies rolling on this one.

[Dotty]

Not impressed with TGA. Looked like a 55 min Fast Forward / Comedy Inc. parody of the original. I was expecting Steve Vizard to come on and do a Jeremy Clarkson impersonation.

And the show that I love ? Motorway Patrol
Must be a bucketload of outtakes, where the Poly truck drivers aren't so calm about a SooBARoo braking sharply and crashing into his delivery truck.

[Grunt]

Reckon it's John Bowe too, just something really familiar with the driving/seating position or something.

[Dazza]

Reckon it's John Bowe too, just something really familiar with the driving/seating position or something.
The very same thing that triggered it for me too.

[Iain]

FWIW the missus and I are halfway through Season 2. Season 3 should start in the states soon, I think.

Thank your mate for me. Just finished watching season 1 of Dexter, good show. Something different to the normal.

[BrisVegas]

I thought Top Gear Oz was pretty good. I was expecting it to be rubbish, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. The little bloke needs to calm down (maybe drop some valium pre-show) and all three of them need to relax, but otherwise it's quite watchable. Petrol heads will watch it even if it isn't that great. There are no other options.

Looking forward to seeing the Ford v Holden stoush next week.

[gazgolf1]

Just started watching this,funny stuff.

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=w3zpMTKvvgk

[Scottt]

A bloke here at work made a good point today:

If Top Gear Oz was an original concept, it'd be much more enjoyable and watchable than it was last night as a spinoff of an extremely funny, insightful and appealing show.

The lack of originality was staggering. Even the set was a complete knockoff of the UK one, the magnetic strips with lap times etc. They'd have been better off creating a point of difference by doing some things different to the UK version.

Case in point is the US The Office vs the UK original. They took a universal concept and ad apted it to suit their market. Copying doesn't work.

[Grunt]

Maybe Top Gear made them do it like the UK version.

[Scottt]

Just started watching this,funny stuff.

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=w3zpMTKvvgk

:lol: looks good.

Their nemesis: is that the guy who played the manager of the Swindon branch in The Office?

[Bruce]

Case in point is the US The Office vs the UK original. They took a universal concept and ad apted it to suit their market. Copying doesn't work.

The Office is actually the exception rather than the rule. Mostly a format is purchased and the owners of the format insist on replicating things down to a very low level. It looks like there is a very high level of involvement from the UK guys so you would expect them to start with the same base. This is their first sale and they are about to launch in the US so they will be testing and tweaking hard.

[Dazza]

So what did everyone think of Top Gear this week?

[Courty]

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,24459517-5016681,00.html

As I think has already been mentioned... if nobody had seen the UK Top Gear, everyone would think this show is fantastic. Unfortunately, everyone has seen the UK version so the benchmark has been set. The Aus version is undoubtedly left wanting, but is still a good production in its own right.

[Grunt]

I did not mind it once again. Reckon they will weed out some little mistakes in the coming episodes. Have heard that SBS has already budgeted for a second series.

[PeteyD]

I was suprised with how much I liked it. It does ned to find it's own footing etc, and that is never easy when you are following the format of a succesful show. The proton in the gold mine was classic!

[Dotty]

Bit better. Ford vs. Holden and GT40 had a blandness about it, just like reading a Wheels or Modern Motor review.

Utes in the quarry was interesting, but lacked the personalities of the Clarkson vs. Hammond vs. May challenges.

But the Smart hearse really cracked me up. Very Hammondesque. (I'd love them to revisit this, by spending a few quid and actually making a stretch Smart hearse.)

[Grunt]

When I first saw it I thought that they were going to stretch it.

[Dotty]

When I first saw it I thought that they were going to stretch it.
You've hit the nail on the head. Mythbusters and the original Top Gear are such compulsive viewing, because they actually do these things.

[goughy]

Thank your mate for me. Just finished watching season 1 of Dexter, good show. Something different to the normal.

Bloody oath!! Rob and I just finished season one now.

[Courty]

Hooo boy! Just finished watching S07E06 of The Shield. Man is it heating up!

[AndyP]

Here's an upcoming TV series that should interest those that have read Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth fantasy novel series.

http://www.legendoftheseeker.com/

It starts in the US in a few weeks, and has apparently been picked up here too, although who knows when it will be shown. It's made in NZ and has a lad from St Peter's College in Indooroopilly as the lead character. :shock: I hope it isn't cheesy like the Hercules & Xena series, although the costume designers from those should have won a stack of Emmys. ;)
Jay Laga'aia is in it too, so we're not talking A grade actors here.

[Dazza]

Am currently watching Season 3 of Deadliest Catch. Yes, I'm hooked! :D

[BrisVegas]

I'm watching the Adam Hills comedy show. Piss funny.

[Courty]

Just watched the 2nd last episode of The Shield.

Holy crap... that show is intense! :shock:

I'm gonna miss it after next week. :cry:

[mike]

I'm watching the Adam Hills comedy show. Piss funny.

Watched it too Dion. I don't usually like stand up comics but he was brilliant.

I didn't know he had one foot.

[AndyP]

The Mentalist has been added to my TV schedule. So much for not watching much TV, as I've slowly collected shows to watch thanks to the internet.

[Flowergirl]

I'm watching the Adam Hills comedy show. Piss funny.

It was good wasn't it. :smt038

[Grunt]

Anyone see the Best of Spicks & Specs on Wednesday night? Some very very funny moments.

[goughy]

The Mentalist has been added to my TV schedule. So much for not watching much TV, as I've slowly collected shows to watch thanks to the internet.

Watching this one too. Love paper scissors rock.

Just waiting for our provider to get adsl2 at our exchange, which I believe is happening soon... get a bigger faster plan yay!

[BrisVegas]

Just waiting for our provider to get adsl2 at our exchange, which I believe is happening soon... get a bigger faster plan yay!

Sheesh, there's something so wrong about Toowoomba getting ADSL2 before parts of Brisbane. How much bandwidth do the bumpkins need to check the bom site?

[chappy1970]

I'm watching the Adam Hills comedy show. Piss funny.

It was very funny, watching that woman doing the sign language, signing the Captain of the Canoe was GOLD, Hairy Captain of the Canoe was also GOLD

[goughy]

Sheesh, there's something so wrong about Toowoomba getting ADSL2 before parts of Brisbane. How much bandwidth do the bumpkins need to check the bom site?

We have it already, just only through telstra dslams. AAPT are spose to be putting there own in this month.

[Johnny Canuck]

Good call on Deadliest Catch Dazza, I love that show.

Courty, I need to catch up on my Shield watching. I have been a big fan of that show for a while, but haven't watched it in a while. I own the original copies of Season's 1 to 3 and I think I got my hands on 4. Time to try and "track down" the others. Best police show ever!

[markTHEblake]

I just finished watching Torchwood S2, ripper of a series and a finale. Shame about the poofta bits but i just close my eyes and think about G69 and DC68. ewwwwww

Its a bit far fetched but its not meant to be the Bill :-)

[goughy]

Rob liked torchwood - did little for me though and I'm into sci-fi!

[adlo]

I tried a few episodes of Torchwood and gave up on it.

MTB, does it improve? I generally like good sci-fi (which is rare), wondering if this is worth a second look.

[markTHEblake]

If you are a Doctor Who fan, then I think you would like it, otherwise probably not. My Daughter loved both shows also, except I needed to select out some of the episodes, some were just not right for the younger kids.

Then again I probably only watched it cos I had the hots for Tosh.

[gazgolf1]

I'm right into "True Blood" and "The Unit" at the minute.

[poidda]

Sheesh, there's something so wrong about Toowoomba getting ADSL2 before parts of Brisbane. How much bandwidth do the bumpkins need to check the bom site?

What about Ipswich?

[poidda]

Season 5 of Entourage is piss funny.

Thanks Blakey, sounds like it is still better to give it a miss.

I love Wipeout ! - the kids and I almost wet our pants with laughter each week watching it - the commentary is priceless...
Oh great :roll: ,an Australian version of Wipeout is coming. Take a great show, and replace the hosts with a couple of people hopelessly out of their depth. James Brayshaw is about as funny as cot-death and who the hell is Kelly Landry?

[Courty]

who the hell is Kelly Landry?

Without having any idea who she is, I'd be putting money on her being a bit of eye candy with less talent than Brayshaw. :roll:

[Courty]

Here is the original anyhow, straight from the author (Includes foxtel's response as well):

[poidda]

I've just finished Scubs. It is one of the funniest shows around.

[Eag's]

I have just started watching True Blood, a vampire come black humor series with plenty of fun bag action ;)

[adlo]

Has anyone watched Breaking Bad?

I downloaded the first few episodes and it is looking very good. Starring the dad from Malcolm In The Middle, he is excellent from what I have seen.

Also downloading series 13 of South Park... it is as good as ever. New Family Guy & American Dad episodes are great too.

[adlo]

I am clearly talking to myself here, but I have just finished watching series one of Breaking Bad. Top, top show. Highly recommended.

If anyone wants a great UK comedy, check out "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place". Classic.

[Courty]

Anyone who enjoyed The Shield, check out a new LA cop show called 'Southland'. Only 5 episodes have been broadcast so far, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

[adlo]

Just finished watching Series 2 of Breaking Bad.

I have said it before and will say it again, this show is amazing. I generally only watch comedies, but this is an exception.

[mike]

Currently addicted to 'My Name is Earl'. Piss funny.

[Julie]

Currently addicted to 'My Name is Earl'. Piss funny.

I love this show as well, I love the one, where Earl and Co, have their own episode of "Cops".:lol:

[Yossarian]

Just googled breaking bad. It does look good.

[zigwah]

Welcome back Kotter!!!!

[gazgolf1]

I have just started watching True Blood, a vampire come black humor series with plenty of fun bag action ;)

Season 2 starts next week Eags....let hope there will be more funbags in the new season. ;)

[adlo]

Just googled breaking bad. It does look good.
I can hook you up.

It is awesome

[Yossarian]

I don't normally watch that much tv, but that would be cool. I always liked the guy from malcom in the middle. You see him crop up in a lot of random stuff and he always does a good job.

[adlo]

I watch bugger all Yoss, in fact I do not watch any free to air, only downloaded comedies etc.

I will burn the avi files for you if that suits.

[Yossarian]

Yeah mate, sounds good. Cheers!

[adlo]

OK, will do when I have a few spare minutes.

[Yossarian]

No rush mate, whenever is good.

[adlo]

Watching "Snuff Box" again at the moment.

This comedy is out there, but I am finding it funnier watching it again.

Any fan of Bobby Bob Bob would enjoy.

[adlo]

A sample here:

Perhaps.

Should I start loving Friends? What other "great" comedies should I love?

I'll try listening to more top 40 songs too.

[Dotty]

Adlo, any rap parody is dull, compared to Stutter Rap.

As a coincidence, it was performed by Tony Hawk, who did a lot of voice-overs and audience warm-up on Red Dwarf.

Red Dwarf = best comedy ever.

[adlo]

Red Dwarf is very good.

The Office is the best comedy of all time IMO.

[Yossarian]

I loved this one adlo

JBtcXujRbAA

:lol:

[adlo]

Agreed. Very good.

[Yossarian]

Whiskey!

[adlo]

Matt Berry's voice is classic.

Have you watched Garth Mareghi's Dark Place?

[Yossarian]

Bits and pieces, it always makes me laugh. Although I have no idea how you come up with such a show.

[adlo]

Those guys are nuts.

Seen "Nathan Barley"?

[adlo]

Just you tubed it, looks hilarious.

[adlo]

I am half way through the Torchwood: Children of Earth mini series. Torchwood does my head in, it is cheesy but compelling. This mini series is a lot better than previous episodes I have seen. Actually really enjoying it.

Yossarian, check out Breaking Bad yet?

[zacdullard]

I got all seasons of Trailer Park Boys and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I really enjoy both.

[virge666]

"True Blood" anyone ?
The Wire
Rome
The Shield
Life on Mars - (hated Ashes to Ashes)
Jeckyl
Top Gear (Series 13 has just finished)

[goughy]

I really got sick of Life on Mars towards the end. At least I don't have to wait for the next season. I really wanted it to be great and I like the characters, but it felt like it was going no where.

[Bruce]

Which one Goughy? The original BBC or US version? The US meanders a bit as the scripts are written without knowing how many episodes they will end up doing. The BBC is much tighter.

[Iain]

"True Blood" anyone ?

Yeah, watched season 1, haven't started season 2 yet, but have the first few episodes.

Also Dollhouse, watched the first season, waiting for the 2nd.

[Eag's]

True Blood series 2 is even better than 1. They are up to episode 7 in series 2 :)

[CobraSS]

"True Blood" anyone ?


Yes great stuff have watched Season1 and Season2 upto Ep7 so far, so I am upto date with it thus far.

Rome is good to, pity there will be no more.

Deeadwood was great and should have lasted more than 3 seasons.

Trying out The Wire soon, just D/L Season 1

[goughy]

Which one Goughy? The original BBC or US version? The US meanders a bit as the scripts are written without knowing how many episodes they will end up doing. The BBC is much tighter.

The US one. I'd kind of like to see the BBC one to see how much like The Professionals it is ;).



Also Dollhouse, watched the first season, waiting for the 2nd.

Watched the first two of this but just didn't get a feeling for them. Being an Eliza Dushku fan (Faith from Buffy, yummy) was disappointed..

[Grunt]

Show that I like at the moment is The Librarians on ABC. It is on after Spics and Specs.

[virge666]

The US one. I'd kind of like to see the BBC one to see how much like The Professionals it is ;).

I am biased - but UK TV is far more intelligent that the US counterpart.

Dare I say . . . coupling . . . the office . . . life on mars . . . the office.

Might just be my sense of humour but I don't like every joke being explained by the cast.

[Johnny Canuck]

Yeah, watched season 1, haven't started season 2 yet, but have the first few episodes.

A chick at work recommended this. Is it worth the watch?


True Blood series 2 is even better than 1. They are up to episode 7 in series 2 :)

True Blood. I saw the first few episodes of season one and liked it. Is it worth downloading the rest?

Currently revisiting Entourage, all seasons.

[AlexMc]

Just started watching Love My Way on DVD. Awesome show, tough viewing at times though...

Also bought the second season of 30 Rock today. Great show - not quite up to The Office (English) and Arrested Development but pretty bloody good none the less.

[KristianJ]

Talkin' Bout Your Generation is compulsory viewing for me on Tue nights...I'be been a huge fan of Shaun Micallef's work since his days on Full Frontal.

[Grunt]

Yeah it is pretty good, I must I admit I watch it to see how dumb the Gen Y guy can be.

Yeah...Josh Thomas is the closest thing to a male ditz that I've seen on TV.

[adlo]

Canuck, I have heard mixed things about Dollhouse, but the overall impression has been stay away.

I hate Buffy, but really like Firefly, so Joss Whedon seems a bit hit and miss.

I'm with you on that one. Check out Two Pints of Lager & A Packet of Crisps - funniest shit I've seen in ages.



Current show I've gotten into is Friday Night Lights. Just picked up season 1 on DVD and spent all week watching it. Ordered seasons 2 & 3 from Amazon before I'd even finished watching the 1st season.

Supernatural is still the best show currently on telly though :)

[goughy]

Talkin' Bout Your Generation is compulsory viewing for me on Tue nights...I'be been a huge fan of Shaun Micallef's work since his days on Full Frontal.

We watch it, and don't mind it. But that's got nothing to do with Micallef, as he doesn't do much for me. I remember his late night show on 9 that lasted I think one week, maybe 2.

[gazgolf1]

Yeah Friday Night Lights was good, Lila is Smokin hot!!

[KristianJ]

We watch it, and don't mind it. But that's got nothing to do with Micallef, as he doesn't do much for me. I remember his late night show on 9 that lasted I think one week, maybe 2.

They did about 9 episodes of that...I found someone who'd created a DVD set of all the episodes (they took up 3 DVDs) and had a set posted to me. Haven't watched it yet, but from what I remember of it, it was awkward at best.

[adlo]

Micallef seems to be trying too hard.

Agreed with Virge & Russ on UK comedy. Have never heard of 2 pints..... though. The only american comedies I like (that come to mind) have been Arrested Development, Seinfeld, early Simpsons and Family Guy.

UK gold of late:

The Office
I'm Alan Partridge
Saxondale
Mighty Boosh
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
Peep Show

The list goes on.....

[markTHEblake]

Dare I say . . . coupling . . .
Have never laughed so much in my life,
except for Game On.

I have just finished watching Teenage Kicks (http://www.itv.com/Entertainment/comedy/TeenageKicks/). Not sure if it will ever make it to Oz though. Seems to be one of those shows that the critics and ratings just wont like.

It is almost like Alltogether Now (Jon English) except this one is Adrian Edmondson (Bottom, Young Ones) who is a failed punk rocker who moved in with his teenage kids, (dont expect Vyvvyne, just a fat boring old twit with glasses)

It is the first 'realistic' character i have seen him in, though he has a little bit of Eddie and Vyvvynne in it.

IMHO it is his funniest role over, even had the kids watching cos i was having the giggle fits.

[Courty]

FWIW, I watched the first couple of episodes of Dollhouse & decided to give the rest a big swerve.

[kingslayer33]

Being an Eliza Dushku fan (Faith from Buffy, yummy) was disappointed..

Eliza Dushku mmmmmmmmmmm. :smt060

(Even made the chearleader flick watchable ;))

UK comedies here. Red Dwarf always worth the time, the office etc.

Very limited US shows on rotation at my place (comedies especially) although I liked Arrested Development and love Scrubs too.

[adlo]

Scrubs is OK, but I have never seen the cult appeal.

Same with Coupling. Jokes seemed a bit obvious, a bit cliche.

The last few episodes of the Torchwood mini-series were real crapola.

[markTHEblake]

The last few episodes of the Torchwood mini-series were real crapola.

i havent watched em yet , not sure if it is going to be the same without my favourite characters.

then again, i hated it everytime they changed the Doctor, yet i found that i ended up liking the new one even more. (except for C.Baker and McCoy)

Don't think so Grunt. Just watched a few YouTube clips, looks very funny.

Downloading Series 1 now.......

This is another show from Baby Cow Productions (Steve Coogan). They make some good stuff.

[jaybam]

Still like two and a half men :)

[AndyP]

I saw some of Gavin and Stacey on Fox the other night. It came recommended by my Welsh neighbour, so I had a look. I couldn't understand Stacey's Welsh accent, so changed channels after a short time.

[Dotty]

I enjoyed Ned and Stacey

... but that's so-1995. :roll:

[Scottt]

You'll enjoy Gavin and Stacey, Adlo. Rob Brydon, who plays Stacey's uncle, is a rally funny guy.

[markTHEblake]

Robyn and Dean is a crackup as well. For the after 10pm timeslot there is Reenie and John, or for those who like the other side, Davey and Richey

[adlo]

Almost through series 1 of Gavin & Stacey. Good show. Quite a few laughs in there. Not what I would deem a classic comedy, but certainly funnier than most.

[poidda]

How I Met Your Mother is a funny show.

[adlo]

We were given BBC's Beautiful People on DVD by a friend and told it is a must see.

Absolute shite. Just plain terrible stuff.

THE WIRE is starting on ABC2.

He's 5 minutes through the first episode of season 1

Awesome show. I have all 5 seasons on DVD.

You can't just watch 1 episode to start with. You need to watch 4 or 5 straight to get a good feeling for it. It's not that slow of a show, but every episode ties in to each other, and things that happen in season 4 are directly tied to things that happened in season 1 etc.

Cool, sounds much like The Shield (which I loved).

[Russ]

Cool, sounds much like The Shield (which I loved).


Whilst there are a few ongoing story-lines - Armenian money train / Vick shooting the cop / Acevada being a douchebag etc - each individual episode moves quicker due to foot chases, door kicking etc ... The Shield is a lot faster paced.

The Wire is about the behind the scenes shit. Surveillance, investigation, paper work, politics etc. The criminals day to day ongoings get just as much story time as well.

What the majority of cop shows cram in to 1 or 2 episodes, The Wire takes a full season to do (12-13 episodes) ... and then you still need to start the next season to see how things continue for the main characters. It's very detailed, nothing gets started & wrapped up in 1 episode, and the good guys rarely win.


It's a friggin' awesome show, but the Ritalin crowd can't handle it. You need patience.

[solarman]

i have a few seasons of F Troop.....really showing my age now

[Russ]

That sounds brilliant. Might want to fire up the old downloading again.

Brilliant is a very fitting word. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill Cop show.

For anyone that likes the way the show is made, also check out Generation Kill. It's a HBO 7 part mini-series based on the book of the same name. It was written by an at-the-time Rolling Stones writer that was embedded with a US Marine unit during the initial invasion of Iraq, post-911.

It's produced by the same people that made The Wire and is f*&^ing awesome!



Just a note:

I'm a person that prefers watching something in Widescreen format (16:9), especially since I have a lovely Widescreen telly. Unfortunately The Wire was only ever aired and released on DVD in 4:3 format. It was never edited/shown in Widescreen, and as such, was never released that way in any DVD region.

Weirdly, The Shield was also aired in the US in standard 4:3 format - the creator even said that's how he intended it to be shown - but fortunately, we here in Aus got the show released on DVD in a lovely Widescreen aspect ratio, whilst the Yanks had to settle for crappy 4:3 :)

[CobraSS]

Watched Generation Kill and I concur, good show.

[TourFit]

Deadwood...got all three seasons on DVD. Makes the Sopranos look all glitzy, shiny and tame !! My wife hates when I watch a couple of episodes cos of the language, but it fits with the time & place and adds to the realism.

Also like Entourage (just bought all 5 seasons on DVD) but haven't started watching yet.

The Wire is great. One of the best cop shows I've seen.

My ultimate favourite though was The West Wing...then again I did do history, politics and public policy at Uni so I'm a little biased I guess.

[Russ]

I have just finished the fifth season. It is just a great show and a great ending. The last 4-5 minutes is brilliant.

I feel sad.

[adlo]

Checked out the first episode of the Family Guy off shoot, The Cleveland Show.

Wow, that was bad. Like a bad animated sitcom.

[Julie]

i have a few seasons of F Troop.....really showing my age now

I used to love F Troop:lol::lol::lol:, I think it was on just after The Banana Splits.8)

[razaar]

Masterchef got my attention, or was it Poh.

[Russ]

Just finished watching the 1st season of Sons of Anarchy - good show. First 2 episodes of Season 2 just aired in the States, and they were awesome. Gonna turn a good show great!

[adlo]

What is the deal with that show Russ?

[Russ]

It's about an outlaw Motorcycle Club - Sons of Anarchy.


The show revolves around Jax. A young bloke that is the VP of the MC. His Dad (who is now dead) started the club after returning from the Vietnam War. Jax finds a journal written by his old man, that talks about his original ideas and visions for the club, instead of the outlaw crew they've become.

That's the main story arc of the show. The conflict between him believing in what his Dad has written, wanting things to change, and the things he has to do just to keep the MC alive. It's pretty much the drive for the show.

The President of the club is his old-mans best mate, and also the guy that married Jax's mum after his Dad died (His mum is played by 'Peg Bundy') :) You kinda get the feeling that the 2 of them are the ones that actually killed his old man, but it's only faintly touched on so far - which means more goodness in future seasons :)

There is a rival Mexican bikie gang. A Neo-nazi-redneck group that are trying to push drugs & hookers in their County. Fights, murder, stalking ATF agents, junkie mums, ex-girlfriends, parties, a Scotsman, shoot-outs, Cops on the take, Cops not on the take, jokes, sex, girls, IRA gun deals, inner-club bitterness, nice bikes - and a guy called 'Half-sack' that had 1 nut blown off in Iraq.

All in all - a pretty good show.

Season 2 started with some new characters trying to muscle their way & agenda into town, (one of which is Henry Rollins! dude is awesome) and they start to do so in a very, very nasty way. It's going to be a ripper of a season!

[adlo]

That sounds pretty interesting. Cheers for the synopsis.

The Ultimate Fighter. Season 10, episode 1. Freshly downloaded. Time to put everything, including the wife, on ignore for 42 minutes.

[Scottt]

I bought S1 of the Wire, only one ep in, didn't love it, but a complex setup takes time, so I'mgoing to percivere.

Just polished off S5 of Entourage in two nights. Loved it, up there with S2 and S3 as the best, IMO. Mickelson was great!

[Johnny Canuck]

loved the mick episode.

Is there somewhere online I can download S6 episodes? Don't want to have to wait another year!

isohunt

[Scottt]

Werd!

[Johnny Canuck]

yep. all there. up to e9 right now.

[Scottt]

Awesome.

[adlo]

What else is out there at the moment?

I downloaded and watched a UK show "Being Human", after I saw it had excellent reviews. It was watchable, but far from great.

Top Gear S13 was quite average I thought.

There seems to be very little of interest atm. South Park repeats seem to be winning.

[Scottt]

Gavin and Stacy!

[adlo]

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Next!

Watched series 1,2 and xmas special.

Decent UK comedy. Better than average but some real rubbish episodes in the mix. Series 1 started stronger than the show could continue unfortunately. Uncle Bryn was a really great character.

[Scottt]

Yeah, Bryn was a standout.

I assume you've watched all of Extras?

[adlo]

Yep, big fan of Office and Extras.

Other UK comedy I like: Alan Partridge, Saxondale, Peep Show, Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, Nathan Barley.

[Scottt]

Download of some Michael MacIntyre's standup. Funny bloke.

[adlo]

Sweet, will do Scottt.

[Scottt]

And see if Arli$$ can be downloaded anywhere. An early/mid 90s comedy about a sports agent. Lots of guest stars playing themselves, about an agent, his burnt out mate who he has employed and the rest of his agency, maybe a bit of a pre-curser to Entourage in a way.

Sandra Oh (Sideways etc) is in it too.

[adlo]

I remember you mentioned that once, and I think I tried to find it without success. Will try again.

[Scottt]

This might be the best option:

[adlo]

Might see if Planet Video have a copy. They have almost every DVD known to man.
