Johnny Drama Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 True that. Hopefully it really does finish soon though. Hate for it to overstay it's welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Though not as good as it used to be, I still love Community.I had to write a term paper last night. I stayed up until 3 am writing it while watching the first season of Community all over again. I completely forgot how brilliant the first season was. It had good music, character development, the characters were more BELIEVABLE, and it was actually funny. I dont think I've laughed at all in the third season, but I laughed my ass off in quite a few episodes in the first. Damn, such a shame the show went downhill. I still like Season 3, but it's just not the same. That alternate timeline episode was boss, though.I believe it's still awesome, but in a different way. It's not as funny, as in that rapidfire joke delivery is gone, but the writing is more interesting. They don't write with character development in mind. I was watching this interview with Dan Harmon. He said they just write stories for the episodes and the character moments are basically fitted in and the character arcs are completely improvised. There's no plan like for the following season or anything of the sort. Maybe that might help with making it seem more natural?What I personally dislike about this season is how they're deconstructing Abed. He used to be this sort of superhuman character right? Essentially he knew he was fictional. Now they're showing how he's just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrubs Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 mad men still the best show on tv. pete has become as compelling as don - in a completely different way.watching him get belted by lane was hilarious. don's smirk as he draws the curtains was pure gold.the sound of a dripping tap to end the show. fuck me, i almost felt for the feeble little fuck. Agree with everything you said. Don being faithful is a scary thought.Also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Dexter, True Blood, Person of interest, Hell on Wheels, Justified and 24.Going to watch Touch and homeland when I get time. American makes the best TV, and I don't live there so don't always know what is available. I discovered person of interest,Justified and hell on wheels by chance online as the UK doesn't get everything. Pirate bay is my friend with all these, can't stand watching episodes per week.love this show, the first couple episodes were killer then it kinda sank a little in the next 2 episodes or so but the final 2 or 3 were just killer, cant wait for season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Pete discovered that even with all his buisness success, there's still always someone stronger and better looking to take the high school girls he never got.The cringworthy discussion of sci-fi at dinner. Joan reacting with pure class to Lane's kiss. So glad she didn't freak out. Dude just beat up a bloke half his age and was on a high. Such a great episode.

vicious Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The Wire.Oz.Both better than Mad Men.the wire yes. maybe not better but definitely the same!oz, no. it was good until season 3 until adabsi died. but then the story seemed to get so ridiculous! and even cheesy at some points. it ended terribly and left me cringing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 if you like The Wire or The Shield check out Southland. It's not as serious as those shows but it's funnier and more exciting and unpredictable, with more depth to characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the series as a whole was amazing. And the first three seasons are miles ahead of anything Mad Men will ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I know it's probably just me, but the last two episodes of Game of Thrones.........*sigh*...I thought were kinda boring...Anyway, any Prison Break fans on the board? Been watching on Netflix. So far it goes like this. The first two seasons were awesome......season 3, while not good as the first two, is still pretty damn good........season 4, well jesus....it's just plain bad.i'm having to force myself to finish it.

wasted Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Prison Break drops off once they on run. I guess the mexican prison or south america series was good. but it gets kind of ridiculous towards the end. it really turns into Fugitive the tv series.Clash of Kings was kind of talky all building up the end. the best part is that demon chick.

Essentially season 4 is two seasons in one (16 episodes whereas the others are 8 each).I was talking about this to another forum members some time ago: I thought season 1 and season 4 first half were by far the best because they were the ones that were building up to something (there was a crescendo and a big finale). The other seasons, they were just struggling to come up with stories. And with how to torture Beecher next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gunns5 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 So far, touch is the best show i've seen since 24, I love the refreshing concept and the underlying themes that aren't prominent until you really get to understand why certain things were bring depicted in the scenes..Definately buying the whole series when it comes out on DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
