General TV show discussion

some of you guys have absolutely no patience for shows. You watch the first 2 or three episodes of a show that just came back on and say "this is boring", "it's not as good as last season" or "it's starting to pick up", and thats just not how you can assess some of the better shows on television these days. You can't judge a show like "Madmen", a show that is extremely in depth and based around character building, like you can any other show. Its a show you actually entrench yourself into. Shows like this you have to expect to have some lag, it's probably because they are focusing on setting up a scenario or expanding on a character. In fact no show is gonna give you a non-stop thrill ride, they tried that with "Prison break" an people like myself just stopped watching or worse, ended up hating it. Give them a chance, because the shows that are actually trying, are delivering on great television.

You want to talk about a show that could have used ALOT of pick-me-up? HUNG. thats a show I was disappointed with, it moved EXTREMELY SLOW, yet I stuck with it, I'll probably catch a couple of episodes next season, but if he aint fucking bitches left and right after a while I'm gonna give up. They are really making to much work out of something as interesting a gigolo, They need to deliver it entourage style, and give the people the excitement they want to see.

you're assuming people who have watched mad men up until now don't know exactly what the show is about or what to expect in terms of pacing...

Man I was just bored from the first episode to be honest. The setting is interesting and it was always nice to look at, but I was bored. Maybe it's just not for me. I wanted to like it, but I just found myself not really caring.

Maybe it would've been better had I watched it once a week on tv like it was supposed to be, but I don't watch most of my shows on tv really. I usually forget or don't have the channel.

I like Sons of Anarchy so far, and Dutch is in it!

ok I am up so S01E08 of mad men and I am getting more into it. That one kid makes me want to punch him every time I see him though:

Also, it's not physically possible to drink that much all day and not be completely off your rocker. I think the most accurate scene so far is the one where the company partner boots in front of a client after climbing the stairs when the elevator is out.

He practically raped a girl this last ep. I like that he is pretty forceful when it comes 2 the poon.

If you watch closely, in the office they don't usually finish their drinks.
