and, everyone, also.



ADVENTURE TIME.
Such a good show. But what about Regular Show? That's my preference. Muscle Man is the best.

Can't say I tried watching Regular Show. If it is just as colorful, playful, "wtf" and sometimes surreal - then yes. What I really like about Adventure Time is how there's usually a hidden "value play" in the episodes. And it's super fun.
That's true about Adventure Time. Love when they have episodes featuring the Ice King. I just love the humor of Regular Show. It's about 2 slackers that work at a park. They're at their best when they bring a lot of movie references into the fold, especially old John Carpenter movies.

I think I am done with Justified. I tried to get in to the third season but it's just gotten so incredibly formulaic. And I thought I didn't like the Winona character before, but now I just want that chick to get merked. She served a purpose in the first couple seasons, but now every scene with her just brings the show to a SCREECHING halt. Anyway, anyone have any good dramas/comedies or mixtures of both to recommend? I need something to marathon. I'm caught up on Warehouse 13 which is great. I was enjoying Falling Skies but I'm really tired of it now, the writing just gets worse with every episode. There are no new episodes of Castle yet. I'm all caught up on Leverage, which i love. I've been trying to watch 24 but I just can't really get into it. I have difficulty sitting through 24 fucking episodes of anything just to get some real answers. Caught up on BB and no new SOA yet. Same for Hell on Wheels. Was considering watching the Killing before I read the reviews and learned that it's basically a 2 season long episode of Law and Order. I've gotten to the 5th season of Supernatural and I hate where the story has gone. I'm thinking of trying Downton Abbey. So anyone have any suggestions of good shows I haven't seen yet? BTW what are Adventure Time and Regular Show?


Can I use this chair? Seriously can I use it?

I don't know what else to say about Justified. I love the show, but I know your complaint about Winona. However everyone else is fantastic on that show on top of the badassery that Tim Olyphant and Boyd bring to the table.

I can't recommend Boss and Homeland enough. And Adventure Time and Regular Show are both on Cartoon Network. They're usually fun to watch with some friends like the old Spongebob episodes. Supposedly they're for kids, but there are some seriously twisted episodes.

Boss didn't work for me. I gave it a couple episodes last night, and like Six Feet Under, I stopped watching when the main character got diagnosed with something fatal.. I'm very fragile

Thanks for recommending Homeland. I'll be watching that tonight.
.. Carnivale is an awesome show that came out around the same time as Deadwood. I just finished watching it and would suggest it to anyone who hasn't seen it. It's got the little man from Twin Peaks too! ---http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319969/

Carnivale is nice, however the series were cancelled.
So.... unfinished business.

Finally gave Arrow a try yesterday... I didn't have much faith in CW as I thought the plot was a little generic. Now I'm three episodes in and excited to find out what happened on the island.

Also Wila Holland is so cute ;)

bright lights, big city

new Justified season started last night, now with Patton Oswalt. Didn't take long to feel like I'd just been reacquainted with an old friend. Between this, American Horror Story and Shameless, I'm set till Walking Dead and Game of Thrones come back.

Lovely how they make fun of people advertising these shows to death, because its so true that they won't stop talking about them ;)

The small piece about Canadian Horror Story was good too in the same Family Guy episode

Im gonna give a chance to Hannibal's TV Series.It has some very good users reviews and also the bad guy from the movie Casino Royale is in it as Lecter.Anyone going to give it a chance like me? I havent seen a TV series since 24 so I hope Im in for a good surprise.

Mads Mikkelsen is doing television, finally!!!

Read about the series earlier this week, probably gonna watch it tomorrow or the day after.

Besides Hannibal, theres been some good stuff this year already... The Americans, The Following, Bates Motel. Defiance sounds promising, too, and I am curious to see how Hemlock Grove is gonna turn out.

bright lights, big city

The word I've heard is that Hannibal is what The Following should be. I'm gonna give it a DL.

I've been curious about The Americans, but I have so many TV shows in the I-need-to-watch-pipeline I'm not sure when I'll get to it. Warming Glow has been very kind to it thus far, but I need a second opinion because sometimes their tastes are not up to snuff. I don't get why they think Happy Endings is all that great, because it isn't.

I'm currently in the middle of Boardwalk Empire, but I haven't watched in a while. Don't be mad at me Mark, but I'm still on the first season of Justified...three months later. I'll get back to it as soon as I graduate college, I promise! Although through my brother I am starting to prove my original hypothesis--Timothy Olyphant makes all the boys' panties wet.

bright lights, big city

It seems like I love everything, because I'm an avid watcher of all 4 of those shows you mentioned.

The Olyphant is such a man's man. I have a guy crush on him. He's like the friendly cool guy everyone wants to be friends with. Definitely stick with Justified, it seemed like the first season it didn't know if it wanted to be a strict procedural or tell some overall deep story arc. While watching, you'll definitely appreciate all the characters from Rachel and Tim the Marshals to Boyd and the insanely stupid Dewey.

The Americans is another show I support. I've been keeping up with it, and am satisfied with it. Keep in mind I initially get sucked into anything that's about that era though. The Cold War and the tensions were just so damn fascinating looking back.

Ok, so my first impressions of Justified weren't all in my head. I guess that's why I've had a hard time watching it. I'll stick with it, for sure. When I get the chance, I'll also check out The Americans and hopefully finish Boardwalk Empire before the new season begins. Ugh, I hate school--it's preventing from watching all this nice television!
