General TV show discussion

[Phrost3]

Watched every episode of Always Sunny over the weekend, it was funny enough to watch, but I thought it would be better to be honest.

lol i think you actually watch more tv than me

i'm on the 3rd season of it's always sunny and i'm enjoying it. the community service episode when dennis and mac pick teams for the kid's basketball game still has me laughing.

i've been putting off this season of breaking bad. whenever i tune in, i just want to beat some common sense into walt.

what other dramas/comedies do you guys recommend that's 2+ seasons in? preferably shows that aren't formulaic - ie: law & order svu

[will 1 am]

Apparently you haven't seen Boardwalk Empire or Game of Thrones.

I do like Bored to Death though.

.

anyone fuck with Curb Your Enthusiasm?

I love larry david

[josh mullen]

Boardwalk was okay, but certainly not as good as I thought it would be. I kept trying to get into it with no success. Dude with half a face was interesting.

Curb is amazing.

I haven't seen an episode of Dexter since season 1; Maybe it's time I catch up.

boardwalk is kinda shitty i think, i dunno

it's kinda boring and other than pitt and his broad the characters are kinda one dimensional

i felt the same way, i may give it another chance because so many of my friends swear by it but i just wasn't feelin it

you guys watching louie? i think it's maybe the best show going. best comedy at least. maybe breaking bad still takes it but the ep of louie this past week was... great

[Magsåvningsreserven]

louie is brilliant

[mis]

Party down cameo at the end of the last ep of children's hospital

[Phrost3]

tonight's episode of louie didn't do anything for me. i've been holding out for something great all season long, but it's been lackluster imo. there just hasn't been any real standouts for me so far. the season premiere was great, but i've been missing his really fucked up, surreal sense of humor - like the dentist episode from season 1.

[NatseOklim]

About to watch the first/my first episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The entire show does nothing for me. I watch it, but it's not a show I really look forward to.

For some reason, I don't think he's a "tv show" kinda comedian. It's just not working for him. I've seen his standup and it's exponentially better than the best shit from any episode of his show.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

you guys are stupid.

louie is a comedy, but it's a comedy about raising kids, about strangers, about circumstances, about irony, about life. if you're expecting a laugh a minute romp, then you should look elsewhere.

CK has surprised the hell out of me with the depth he's shown in regards to the writing and acting (that's right, he's acting better than 90% of the douchebags starring in dramas) on the show. He's a very clever guy, and very perceptive.

For some reason, I don't think he's a "tv show" kinda comedian. It's just not working for him.

how dare you. comedy is hardly the genre you're likely to find innovation in, but this show is the closest we've been to something new since the fucking mockumentary. This is auteur comedy brought to the peasants.

Opinions, opinions. This guy says it's one of the best shows on tv.

oh, and i avoided sons of anarchy because the promo images made it look crappy, but it's pretty entertaining so far.

[ADDIC]

Rescue Me is coming to an end...

fuuuuuuuck

[Phrost3]

magnetic how do you think this season of louie compares to the last?

[Magsåvningsreserven]

yes, it doesn't have as many out-and-out funny situations but i've enjoyed s02 much more.

if that's what you're getting at.

[evisu 2000]

sons of anarchy is so garbage. i enjoyed the first season but then the novelty of it's connection to the shield wore off.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

ahhh, one-niners right? i didn't think about a shared universe, thought they might've been a real gang.

huh, how about that - as clopek might say.

[NatseOklim]

Plus Lem is in it too, sorta.

[DüM]

mass hates everything / I love all my shows, but there are stretches of Sons (90% of last season) that were complete ass.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

imagine raylan givens strutting into charming like a bauz

perfect mass trifecta :D

[evisu 2000]

i don't hate everything

there's a lot of really dumb shit i like

i miss the hills

i tried watching awkward and it was ok but it was too young for me

but a lot of shows (and movies) kind of take themselves too seriously and set a standard higher than they can meet

[DüM]

but he's in Charming trying to catch Dexter

[Magsåvningsreserven]

awkward is really good! don't lie bro, you love it

[evisu 2000]

that fat bitch pissed me off too much

[DüM]

started Suits cause it'd been mentioned and it's all On Demand

it's super corny, little bit funny

but

dem freckles

[NatseOklim]

Not sure I can handle the awkwardness of Curb, had to stop and watch Senna and come back to it.

[DüM]

just realized dudes name is Mike Ross.

aight aight I'm in

[Layne]

started Suits cause it'd been mentioned and it's all On Demand it's super corny, little bit funny

Suits is like Burn Notice... total guilty pleasure, but it's still a good time.

Magnetic don't get all butthurt about Louie. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not ground-breaking either. Dude is funny as hell, but the show is hit or miss.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

very few things get me butthurt (really tho, an explanation), but i will resurrect my inner keyboard warrior that perished along with my teens if someone disses THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION.

for streaming, pretty much all the famous shows are there, including hbo shows. movies too, and in good quality. i guess this could be spam since its my first post...

but yeah get on that

Louie was really good this week, came home from a bar and sank me deeper into depression.

p.s. whats good sufu

[Phrost3]

starting season 5 of it's always sunny. i loved seasons 1-3 but season 4 wasn't very good - with the exception of the season finale "the nightman cometh." definitely a great way to end a lackluster season.

should i be expecting a comeback or a dive in seasons 5+6?
