kinuta Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Wow, watching "The Story of India" on PBS. EXCELLENT. It's a great series. You should definitely check out BBC's ' Ganges'.which has photography to equal the majestic 'Planet Earth'. The Blue Ray versions must be a wonder to behold. http://www.amazon.com/Ganges-Blu-ray/dp/B0...7521&sr=8-1 Quote
jazzbo Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I'll check them out, thanks. Next two parts of Story of India are on tomorrow night. Right now, I just finished watching "The Pink Panther" (1963) Quote
Shawn Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Watching the Golden Globes. Three cheers for Kate Winslet who won both best supporting actress (for The Reader) and best actress (for Revolutionary Road). Bout time she actually WON some of these awards she's always nominated for...an excellent actress in everything she does. Quote

Still I thought she should have won a bunch of awards for 'Little Children' and she got nothing. Quote
carnivore Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Wow, watching "The Story of India" on PBS. EXCELLENT. Just been watching Episode 2 - excellent except that it was grossly out of sync - the picture leading the sound by at least half a second throughout. Did you notice this? I am watching a recording of the prog via my Verizon supplied DVD Recorder and assume that's how it looked on transmission- bizarre to say the least. Quote
Matthew Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Superjail!. This is the weirdest stuff you'll ever want to see. Quote

No, that's not how it looked to me (via channel 18, PBS Austin, via antenna). Quote
jazzbo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Now wastching "Fringe," It's back after the holiday hiatus. Quote
Shawn Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I watched Fringe as well, I still can't decide if I actually like it or not...but I'll keep watching it for now. I kept asking myself if I really wanted to invest in another "sci-fi conspiracy" show...The X-Files kind of satisfied that urge for me. It's serious & humor elements aren't in balance yet, like it can't quite decide what tone it wants to achieve...we'll see if it gets itself on course. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Yes, it's falling short of the mark somehow. I'm not analyzing it much, just enjoying for what it's worth and something to watch on Tuesday night. Don't feel about it the way I do other shows by Abrams such as Lost and Alias. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I've been watching Leverage. I don't recommend it. The characters are cardboard cutouts, the plots are silly, and the whole thing is one second rate caper story after another. Good times. Been watching the Australian Open this week. Thank goodness for Australia; I don't get the opportunity to veg out for hours glued to sports that often as a night owl, so it's a bit of a treat. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Lost. Finally, the season premiere. I already like this season better than the last few. Quote
Shawn Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I'd like to watch Damages but missed the first season. Will have to check and see if the DVDs are available for rent somewhere (I can't afford to purchase box sets of TV shows) Quote
kinuta Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 'In Treatment '. I'm completely addicted. Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Australian Open, since it started non-stop. Quote

I believe that it can be rented. . . . Quote
Free For All Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I recently picked up season one of Dexter. Started watching it last night. I'd heard of it but had never seen it- very engaging show! I may become hooked. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Australian Open, since it started non-stop. Yeah, with both ESPN2 and the Tennis Channel going, I'm starting to hit sleep deprivation, and it's only the first week! Quote

jazzbo Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I've started watching Battlestar Galactica (the Sci Fi Channel version). It's alright. Entertainment. I am now starting Season Three. Quote

Yeah, with both ESPN2 and the Tennis Channel going, I'm starting to hit sleep deprivation, and it's only the first week! No kidding. I tried staying up to catch live coverage at 3:30 AM, but then I realized that I could DVR it! Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Oh yeah, and American Idol per the wife's request Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 No kidding. I tried staying up to catch live coverage at 3:30 AM, but then I realized that I could DVR it! I normally work until midnight, so there's no better time for me. I was up until 5:00AM Pacific again last night, but damn, what a match between Gonzalez and Gasquet! Quote

What a great 5 set thriller. Go Gonzalez! Quote
