I use to love this show lol

[Layne]

last episode of workaholics was pretty solid.

[mrip]

yeah it was a lot better than ep 2 and 3

When Heidi returns home to her new apartment, she's welcomed by a huge piece of graffiti plastered across the living room wall. Although she and Spencer had talked about decorating the place with artwork, the gold spray paint and money signs surrounding the word "Hollywood" are a little more than Heidi had bargained for. Spencer says the paint job is a gift and promises he has some more surprises up his sleeve, including a romantic getaway to Santa Barbara.

[Layne]

the newsroom was pretty solid. will definitely keep watching.

I've gone back and started rewatching the sopranos, i forgot how funny it is. its just way too fucking good. in every way, i doubt HBO will ever be able to top it. (which means nobody will ever top it)

[Layne]

^ The Sopranos set the bar for the excellent television we have today. Despite that, The Wire is superior... not even close.

[evisu 2000]

newsroom is the same as every other sorkin show, i'm suprised it's on cable

[Layne]

it's on HBO

is hbo considered cable? I don't even know.

the newsroom wasn't very engaging, i think i'd rather watch network one more time than get invested in that show

The wire has maybe 3/5 of what the sopranos has. Wire is missing comedies and the most commanding lead actor tv has ever seen.

I'm questioning if you've actually seen The Wire, preferably more than once. Bunk is fucking hilarious. The interactions between him, Lester, McNulty, etc. are nothing short of brilliant. Maybe there isn't a Gandolfini in the series, but there are more solid characters in The Wire than every other HBO show combined.

Don't get my wrong, I think the Sopranos is fucking incredible. In my opinion it's only behind The Wire and Breaking Bad. And I'll say it again, I don't believe any of the great shows that we have today would have happened without The Sopranos. Its importance cannot be denied.

But saying The Wire has 3/5 of what The Sopranos has is ridiculous. At that point it's not even personal opinion... it's just wrong.

really enjoying louie's 3rd season, the gorilla joke in the 2nd episode was perfect.

[Layne]

tried to get into Magic City... shit's not entertaining in the least.

[evisu 2000]

the most commanding lead actor tv has ever seen.

that's because the main character of the wire is baltimore

[soundtrack]

who's ready for some fucking breaking bad

[Scais]

anyone catch black dynamite last night?

Actually enjoyed Damages' season 5 premiere a lot more than Breaking Bad's. That show is underrated.

Also finally started It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I love it.

Let me know when you get to season 4 or so... somewhere in that time frame (maybe 5) it get's so ridiculous and starts to go downhill. Seasons 4-6 still have there moments, but Season 7 is not funny at all. It's actually terrible.

yo suits last night was on some shit

[Layne]

i find it somewhat pathetic that i really like Suits. It's the best shit on USA... easily trumps Burn Notice and White Collar (yes, I watch all three).

[kansas]

anyone seen the chloe sevigny show hit & miss? pretty bad and the tranny/hit-man/woman gets overplayed, but whatever. it's better than the network shit from here in the states. and sevigny's boobs are awesome.

[jaac]

I watched the first season of white collar after i watched the first of suits, there is a huge gap. dunno why but white collar is just boring, i find it hard to sit through most of the episodes. does it get better? i like bomer and moz but the rest of the characters are pretty shit.

[evisu 2000]

i watched the first season of burn notice after watching white collar, and burn notice is easily the worst of the three. just really bad, and i have a pretty high tolerance for bad tv. white collar is ok. the 2nd season is basically the same. but i agree there is a huge gap. suits' episodes kind of feels less self contained, with more focus on the longer arcs/relationships. i mean it's still gimmicky as fuck, but whatever. it's weird though because i feel like suits is the show i look forward to the most each week, even with breaking bad back. \:

cant believe you guys are watching usa shows

[Layne]

Suits is entertaining as fuck.

I'll admit, the others are garbage, but I watch them out of boredom.

[jaac]

when i "watch shoes out of boredom" it's really just me downloading the ep and watching the first 30 seconds then skipping through the rest in less than 30 seconds. anyone else do this? its stupid but i guess it entertains me for a minute
