After seeing a recommendation on here I'm on episode 9 of 10 of John from Cincinnati. It is so, so good. I have no idea what's going on but unlike, say, the ultimately unrewarding experience of watching Lost, I've really enjoyed every single episode and have been dying to find out what happens next. Totally gutted the next one is the last one.

It's pretty much about the second coming of the Jesus.

Normally I fucking hate magical realism but I really love this - I think because it's also really funny. Even Luke Perry is good in it. It also love the credits, I could watch it over and over:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrWZlh7DnBE

Its good - its amazing how much the dialogue is similar in style to Deadwood - i know its the same writer but I was thinking that those long winded bits of retoric were more to the 19th century Wild West setting rather than the writers style......

The dialogue is Deadwood was way too stylised to be authentic 19th century talk, particularly EB's soliloquies.

I love how theatrical it is - the way all the action takes place in the same few locations. Someone will be standing there expositing to themselves and someone else will drive up/off. Exeunt.

Hammer house of mystery and suspense on YouTube

Yes, it's kind of crap watching TV shows on the computer. I would buy it, but it's out of print and second hand prices are ridiculous online.

second hand copies of the two separate volumes are less extortionate.

before it was deleted it went as low as £10.99 for each set from Sendit.

Vol 1 starting at £40 and Vol 2 starting at £52. Way too much.

Season 1 - Sublime

Season 2 - hmmmmmmm

Season 3 - blurgh.

 

[nooleen]

amazing. pure filth. the intro is a thing of joy as well. not sure why that woman's nipple is highlighted in an inset though.

 

[Gambra]

Ain't half bad so far.

I watched all of this over the last couple of weeks after reading the recommendations on here. Very interesting show, equal parts excellent and infuriating I'd say. The characters, dialogue, and overall atmosphere of it are brilliant but the plot seemed to be ambling nowhere in particular and you get the sense that even the writers only had a vague idea what was really supposed to be going on. Very funny in places, e.g. Ed O Neill's character interacting with the old mobster guy, and John's parroted expressions- "I'm going to bone you, Kai!". The grandmother Cissy was almost unbearable though, wanted to switch off everytime she got into one of her screeching tirades. It'd be interesting to know where they planned on taking it if they got a second season.

I thought Cissy was hilarious! The way she just constantly went absolutely apeshit was great and must have been so much fun to act. I watched a few 'special features' type things on YouTube (maybe DVD extras?) and it seems to me like they had absolutely no idea where it was going at all and improvised half of it - the stuff with the Avon catalogue, the stuffed biker bear, the stairwell in Ed O'Neill's gaff was all made up the day of or day before shooting. It's probably just as well it got cancelled TBH. Watched a few interviews with David Milch as well. He seems like an absolute tool of the highest order.

I've just finished all the previous seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia after reading recommendations on here. So, so good, especially anything involving Charlie. "The Nightman Cometh" nearly killed me. Interesting that the main writer/creator doesn't necessarily give himself all the best material and the show is all the better for it.

 

[ratmonkey]

Does It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia get any better after the first season? Was pretty unimpressed with that.

 

[I Bleed Black]

Just watched series 1 & 2 of The Shield over the last week and onto series 3 tonite. It's kicking my ass so far, really enjoying it.

The night man cometh is amazing. Charlie's blind date is the best bit of the last series.

 

[FiFi_LaRue]

Started watching The Shield. Enjoying it so far.

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

currently watching Deadwood from the start, can't believe i ignored it till now. also watching The Shield season 4 and rewatching all of Six Feet Under.

I need some comedys.

 

[pete]

started on the Seinfeld box set a couple of nights ago. deadly stuff.

 

[Lili Marlene]

it's a bit hokey but it's worth it for the lovely Rose Byrne and the fact that Ted Danson is AMAZING in it.

actually, Rose Byrne got incredibly thin in series two so she's not that lovely

It does, very much so. The Nightman Cometh is amazing telly!! They actually perform it on stage in its entirety as well!

Just started on Star Stories. Some of it is very funny.
