In the past month I've burned through/finished off Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, and I'm halfway through Big Love. Up next is Carnivale, Deadwood, Oz, season five of The Wire, Six Feet Under, The Shield, and The Sopranos. With the Spring lineup starting this Friday into mid-February I don't know where I'll find the time.

Just finished Six Feet Under. The first three seasons were great, but by the end of the fourth they somehow made it so I hated every character. It started with Nate who was a jackass from the beginning, followed shortly by Claire and Ruth. The only bearable character until the end that I had any feeling for was Rico and maybe Vanessa (and David at times). Because of this, the final season and the final episode were completely emotionless for me. edit: Whoever compared Lisa in Six Feet Under to Amy in True Blood in the True Blood thread was crazy. Amy is tame in comparison to the poo poo character that Lisa was. spooky wizard fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jan 24, 2009 |

Supernatural. I wrote off the show for some reason, but got hooked beginning with the first episode. The show is great and Jensen Ackles is hilarious. Nearly up to date with the show, watching it all in a few days time, I need help.

Zuffox posted:It won't be long until the series devolves into shear suck. I'd at least buy one season at a time and watch them until the end, because you're either about or over the turning point. It gets bad, but not unwatchable bad. The only saving grace for me was Julian Sark though, and he didn't show up often.

The Sopranos. I'm on the beginning of season 3, and I absolutely cannot stand Janice. The rest of the show is pretty good, though. Sadly IMDB says she's on the show until the end.

Trophy Boner posted:Speaking of RoryGilmore, I just finished the first season of Gilmore Girls. Really just a great show. I've never seen characters so likable and endearing, and at the same time so well written and deep. It's a little sad that it's labelled a "chick show" (although it's understandable), because anybody who likes character driven shows would probably like it. Even though the main characters are women, I think it's easy for anyone to identify with them because most of the problems they face aren't gender specific. Almost everyone has had trouble with relationships, has relatives that infuriate them, has made mistakes in their life, etc. The first three, maybe four, seasons are the best. After that it's still watchable, but the seventh is pretty bad.

Mu Zeta posted:The only characters I dislike are Jess and Logan, probably because they get to sleep with Rory. Logan is also a jerk, he can be sweet to her when everything is going fine but if there is some slight problem he turns into an rear end in a top hat. I don't like Jess because he's the embodiment of this guy: I hated Jess at first but grew to like him a lot. He's one of my favorite characters now. Also I'm pretty sure he never had sex with her. Logan, on the other hand, I hate with a passion. VV Sorry, that was a dumb move on my part. The only thing spoiled was she doesn't have sex with a dude, and that dudes are jerks, though. So it's not all bad! spooky wizard fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Feb 14, 2009 |

Nearly done with The Sopranos. Is it some sort of television rule that close to the last season a main character needs to get an eye-patch? (BSG, Buffy, now this, pretty sure there's one or two more I don't remember)

WescottF1 posted:We just watched "Undeclared: The Complete Series" in the past week via Netflix. I think now I'll bust out the "Freaks & Geeks" boxset and watch those in succession. Judd Apatow's TV shows were so drat good. Speaking of, I just watched Freaks & Geeks for the first time. drat, what a very good series. Sam got on my nerves by episode two though for some reason.

jeffersonlives posted:I've watched the first eight episodes today. Holy poo poo this is an awesome guilty pleasure drama. There's a lot of the good stuff from The O.C.'s first season without most of the bad stuff, at least so far. And Blake Lively is so so so so much better in every way than Mischa Barton in the lead female role. It really is great. It sort of lags during the mid-point of Season 2, but otherwise I've enjoyed the show immensely. Blake Lively is great.

Should I watch it again more closely or keep going and pick it up? Keep going and it'll pick up. Entourage has been one of the most entertaining shows I've watched.

big mean giraffe posted:My girlfriend and I just marathoned all 4 seasons of How I Met Your Mother. We always meant to watch it after we found out about it, but we already had a few shows we were watching at the time and just never got around to it. Then we caught a few episodes on repeat syndication and HAD to watch the whole series. Took us about a week due to work conflicts taking up time. Such a fantastic show, and I have no idea why I hadn't even heard of it until less than a year ago. Hey, same here. It's a really good show, I love Marshall. I'm probably going to go through the X-Files next. I caught some of it during its live run, and I've seen dozens of repeats on TNT in the early morning, but I'd like to watch it in its entirety.

Detective No. 27 posted:I just finished all of Full Metal Alchemist, as well as the movie. An excellent show. I don't really like anime all that much, but Full Metal Alchemist is one of my favorite shows ever. Some parts brought me on the verge of tears they were so depressing. Too bad the ending/movie was pretty lovely in my opinion.

Virigoth posted:Rescue Me - again. I quit watching the show at that point. I think it was basically 'let's find who we can get Denis Leary to sleep with'. Still going through The X-Files, beginning to end, and enjoying it. At the start of Season 4 and I just saw Home for the 4th or 5th time, it's just as disturbing as it was all the other watches. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is Cancer Man's son, I really disliked what I remember of him.

Jedi posted:Lemme know if you get past Season 8. I've tried twice, but every time Doggett shows up I just completely lose interest. It wasn't as good as the earlier seasons (obviously), but I'm up to mid-season 9. I'm really disappointed Duchovny, and then Anderson, started showing up less and less. I'm still going to end up finishing the show, but it's not as great.

Vivek posted:In a similar vein as my last question about Dexter season 3, is Weeds worth watching after Season 3? What I've read about it certain characters leaving, the setting changing doesn't sound good... The whole show changes completely. It's pretty bad right now (Season 5), and it's more of a guilty pleasure than anything else.

Mu Zeta posted:Wait until she meets Logan, he's a bad influence, but this is in one of the later seasons. The show goes downhill in the last season which is when the original show creators/writers leave. I think it started going downhill with the whole Chris fiasco during Season 6, and then April showing up out of loving nowhere.

Icen posted:I just started watching United States of Tara. I didn't watch it or think about watching it when it first came out, but someone said it was good and I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good. Its about a mother that has DID(dissociative identity disorder) or multiple personalities. So far, its been pretty funny and good, but I'm only through 4 episodes. Looked for a thread in here and didn't find one though. There was a thread when it was airing, so it's in archives now. I think it's a great show and I'm glad it got renewed for a second season.

Digital Scumbag posted:tl;dr: I really, really liked Shirley Manson, G. Dillahunt, Summer Glau, and Brian Austin Green in T:SCC despite it's faults. I probably wouldn't have checked out the show if it wasn't for the thread hyping it up. And I'm really so glad I did, watched it from the beginning and it was a great trip. Aside from the two or three episodes surrounding the mid-season break in Season 2, every single episode never disappointed. I can honestly say that it was the only show where I was shocked and very upset when it was canceled, especially with the way Season 2 ended.

If some semblance of the Justice League was in it, that might save it? Still not watching 126 seasons of Superman-girl-angst. I'm sorry if that's an unfair classification -- blame it on the marketers. That's all I see. Yeah, it's been pretty good recently since the creators left. The Justice League plot and some other things have been better than average. But believe me it was not worth playing 8 seasons of catch-up.

mirror123 posted:I just plowed through all of Californication, and I thought season 3 ended a bit abruptly. I mean the last ep just came out of nowhere. Did the show get cancelled mid-season or something? No, it's coming back for season 4. It got renewed fairly early, I don't think there was any scare of it getting canceled with some episodes having series-high ratings.

Roshi posted:I'm almost done with season 2 of Charmed. I like it. It's different from most shows in the fantasy genre ie. not male-centric, while not being as stupid and disturbing as twilight. Plus having the three leads be 20+ with, Shannon Dorherty's character pushing 30, gives it a decent mature bent. I watch a lot of girly shows and I'm into fantasy but Charmed is literally one of the worst television series of all time. (Yes I sat through it)

I can't believe anybody thought that was a good idea. I hated Jess the first time I watched, but the second time around he really grew on me. He was much better for Rory than Dean was. And a necessary addition to her life while she was growing up, in a way.
