Crazyman Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The season one finale has perhaps the most "iconic" scene of the show. You'll know what I'm talkin' bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's season 2.I'd rank the seasons like this:4531263-5 is when the show was clicking on all cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Pawn Stars have a new intro I noticed tonight, still pleased with that episode of The Simpsons Brick Like Me I saw the other day and, posted about in the What Are You Watching? thread by mistake.

GivenToFly Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Watching The Wire and loving it. I don't know why the hell I didn't watch it 'til now. There was a thread here not long ago comparing TV with movies, and somebody made a post listing some classic films and said something like 'has TV ever produced anything like these?'. I would without a shadow of a doubt put The Wire against any film ever made. I would say it's easily up there with the likes of Godfather or Casablanca or Schindler's List or whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Found the post:Just look at the masterpieces. Name a television series that even comes close to Hitchcock's Notorious, Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, Scorsese's TaxiDriver, Kubrick’s 2001, Fellini's I Vitelloni, De Sica's Bicycle Thieves., Mizoguchi’s Ugetsu, Bergman's Wild Strawberries. These are, artworks. In contrast, television just looks cheap.The Wire. It's as good as any movie ever made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that thread and I agree with you. There is no reason why a TV series can't be as good as a film or even better...and The Wire is one of them. Anyway, I've noticed that plenty of the people who say that haven't really seen any of the good shows, so, it's like if I say Ironman 2 is better than The Godfather without having seen The Godfather.

It's not just that they haven't seen anything good but they come with prejudices based on outdated stereotypes of what television is and won't even give anything new a chance regardless of much praise it gets.

DieselDaisy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Rewatching Ashes to Ashes - got the boxset cheap. It is not a patch on Life on Mars. The directing and everything on the first show looks much better and I do not like the 1980s as much as the '70s. Some of the screenplays are ropey also. It just does not have that same degree of class that Mars had. It is more, played for laughs, I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Anyone else as pissed as me about NBC canceling Community?Very sad. Stupid fucking sitcoms get to stay on, and they'll sign some other 2 or 3 stupid fucking shows that will get canceled after one season, but they'll cancel one that is actually worth keeping.Hopefully another network or even Netflix takes it in.
