sidewinder Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 'The Killing' (Episode 13/14) continues to grip. Really? I fell asleep with boredom during the first episode (but maybe that's me..) Quote
kinuta Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 'The Killing' (Episode 13/14) continues to grip. Really? I fell asleep with boredom during the first episode (but maybe that's me..) I stuck with it to the end but felt it was too long and as it progressed the padding out of the episodes with red herrings became more and more apparent. I think it is being overrated by the likes of The Guardian. Ten episodes could have told the story in a more effective and more focused way. Can't hold a candle to Breaking Bad ! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) It's the slow unfolding that really gets to me. Really like the uncelebrity characters too. The antithesis of contemporary, amphetamine TV. I liked the comment I read somewhere about the main female detective being unusual in that she didn't look like she was trying to solve a crime in a fifteen minute break from the catwalk.

Chicago Expat Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 I'm really enjoying "Bob's Burgers", a new half hour animated show on Fox. It's got a lot of the adult swim "Home Movies" crowd involved in it, and you can tell. It's got that modern-day-Peanuts absurdism and warmth. Every episode I've seen thus far has reduced me to tears, usually from some of the silliest things. The voice of the youngest daughter is done delightfully by the female stalker/biggest fan from Flight of the Commodores, Bob is the voice from "Home Movies" Coach. The show is terribly clever. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Last night's SNL was one of the best in months and months. Quote
Chicago Expat Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 The Venture Bros: Season Three. That's a good one. Got that for Christmas the year before last. Quote
BruceH Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Now working my way through season 6 of House. Quote
kinuta Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Last night House - back on the meds blues. Chicago Code Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Last night House - back on the meds blues. Chicago Code Us too. Quote
mikelz777 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Last night's SNL was one of the best in months and months. Really? Then that's not saying much for the last several months worth of shows. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Just my opinion. It was the funniest episode start to finish for me of the last six months. Quote
mikelz777 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) The Disney school of acting skit was funny because it was so spot-on. The Sound Of Music skit was kinda funny. Seth Meyers' news is always a highlight. The rest was pretty much yech, blah or meh. Miley C's voice is very grating and irritating. Of course, it's only my opinion.

jazzbo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Sorry you didn't enjoy it more. Now watching "Morning Glory." Really funny. Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton were great. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Bored To Death S1 " I've always been intrigued by Stockholm Syndrome, it reminds me of my childhood". Woody would approve. I wish there had been more episodes that season! Pretty hilarious moments, and of course I loved the Chandler references. Quote

JohnJ Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 The three TV series I am most enjoying right now, bearing in mind that cable TV here is somewhat behind the US, are: Mad Men Season 1 Fringe Season 1 Dexter Season 2 All excellent in their own way. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Final episode of 'The Killing'. Wonderful to the end. Second series due some time later in the year. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 "Decoding Christianity." Excellent series. Quote
kinuta Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Mildred Pierce HBO Episodes 1 & 2 Outstanding. I was captivated. Quote
