TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I can see good looking girls everywhere without being put through the pains of watching Matthew Morrison and Cory Monteith gyrating and lip synching.

:P

Anyways, no harm, watch what you like, I'm just saying of the group of shows you have on your list only one is gash oriented.

And it ain't Game of Thrones.
I'm a big music fan too. :)

I like the tributes they do for Michael, Madonna, Whitney, etc.

True Blood is also a seriously gash oriented TV show to the extent that it turns me off. I DL all my shows and believe it or not, when the True Blood gratuitous scenes come on, I fast forward. Just not my thing. I'd rather watch perky cheerleaders bouncing around then vampires nailing each other. :mrgreen:

I dig me some music too mathonwy.

As a matter of fact this makes me pretty Glee-ful...

:lol: Glee, dude, if you are forced to watch ChickFlick crap at least make it primo shyte...Downton Abbey 8-)

If you want some newer good stuff, try Awake, very interesting so far...
What!?!?

SOA is a brilliant drama with the most recent season the best yet. All that drama between Clay, Gemma, Jax, etc was fantastic. Plus, they really up'ed the production value of the show when they started creating those music interludes of individual characters doing their thing.

Great story, likable characters, plenty of blood, great insight into the motorcycle gang drug culture and lots of political maneuvering.

Maybe somewhere between Platinum and Gold then.

Mad Men, I've tried hard to like it but I just found it incredibly boring and just couldn't get into it.

Boardwalk is interesting and Steve Buscemi is one of my favourite actors but I also found it a bit boring (but I'll still watch it).

Well I admit I only watched the 1st season....so maybe I will peak at the 2nd but it seemed...I don't know...kinda soap operay...unlike Breaking Bad which just seems that much anarchy :mrgreen:

I watch a lot of BBC stuff so American stuff/fluff has to be pretty compelling to grab my attention...

High bench marks The Wire, Sopranos, West Wing
I love every move Jim Benning makes 8-)

I love Survivors on the BBC. I'm not even sure if they still make it but I watched the first two seasons and I thought they were great. I've been meaning to check out Downton Abbey but have yet to find the time.

I recently watched the first 3 seasons of breaking bad and am awaiting a dvd release of season 4. (Satellite internet = streaming video sucks, had to cancel Netflix). I hope they release it prior to Season 5 in July because I want to be current. I need to be current. That show is fucking incredible. Cranston's performance should o down in history as one of the best TV performances of ALL TIME.

In no particular order, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones (April baby!!!), Simpsons, Family Guy. For reality TV I like The Biggest Loser and Celebrity Apprentice.

I have been meaning to check out Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men.

I love TV.
In Okinawa, all Miyagi know two things: hockey and karate.

Now that House is gone and a few shows ended their seasons that we watch regularly, Mr LB and I are thinking of giving it a go. Just so freaking busy lately I just finished The Walking Dead last week on the PVR.

Thank technology for such things, beats the crap out of the 'timer on the VCR' crap I had to endure in the past. :)

Think I'll give the Hatfields and the McCoys a look see tonight on History channel.

Love a well done western. Hell on Wheels was ok . Hoping this miniseries with Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe looks as good as advertised.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

The only show after GoT I'm looking forward to is Breaking Bad. Girlfriend and I watched the first episode of Girls on HBO last night. Pretty funny and well written...think Sex & the City by the Cohen Bros....

If you are forced to watch chick flick shit, recommend this one and see the brownstar points you score (amI right OD? amI righ'? :D )
