THE TV THREAD AKA MY MIND IS BLOWN RIGHT NOW

[doom]

I keep seeing Trailer Park Boys on Netflix and wanting to start watching it.  I think I will soon.

you wont regret it!

I'll chip in a hells-yeah for Trailer Park Boys.  Probably the finest comedy Canada has ever exported.

I have seen clips from in on various ganja resources and it was funny as hell.

I watched all of the US Shameless. Good stuff. Really good. CRAZY shit happens. So now I'm checking out the UK version. And some of the dialog is the same. Well no. Most is the same.

Is that all the aired episodes of TZ that they have on Netflix or is it partial?

So far as I can tell, it's all of the classic series. 5 seasons, about 30 eps per season. If not all, then a hell of a lot.

Also, I finally got around to sending the netflix disc back, so now I can start Mad Men. Slowly but surely.

[TPD]

just watched mad men season one. goddamn.
<3

oh yeah, that's the series I was trying to remember I wanted to watch!

I watched all of Boardwalk Empire last week.  It was pretty good.  I love the theme song.  I think the psycho fed comes across as being written weird for the sake of being weird though.  Almost like they are trying too hard.  Kelly Macdonald is superb in it.  Whoever cast her was genius.

and...  is that one cronie Vinny from Doogie Howser MD?  hahahaha

Dear Netflix,

Thanks for putting all TNG episodes up for streaming. I won't have to worry about what to watch for about a week or so. Small aside, thanks for also adding the classic series as well. I'll get to have an informed opinion on an age-old debate.

Thanks!
-me.

O_O  They added TNG?!?!  I had only seen that they added the classic series.  Wow, Netflix owns me recently.  I also was watching all the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes they have.

I've actually been watching the original series of Star Trek. I just hate the revamped graphics for the enterprise. Sigh.

I started watching Oz over the weekend.  I am about 7 episodes into the first season and am enjoying it.  It is funny how many faces I recognize now from that show (Mister Eko!).  It must have been a big break for a lot of actors.

What I do find mildly annoying about the show are those breaks with the guy in the wheelchair and the spinning cell.  It just comes across as so cheesy to me, especially when he has that awful headset mic on.  So bad.

I love O'Reilly though.  [spoiler]He is such a bastard and I know that eventually everyone on the cell block will have a reason to kill him, but it is fun as hell to watch him work that ladder one rung at a time.  I also had to chuckle at the cannibal guy that started going to mass after the priest explained that the Eucharist actually transformed the wine and bread to the physical body and blood of christ.  [/spoiler]

Actually from what I've seen I actually kind of like them.  They were really tastefully done, and captured the essence of the original and kept the style of the time without adding anything flashy or ridiculous.  It really did look like a re-enactment of what was originally done back in the day.

The only reason they had to do them anyways was because the original effects shots were done on 60's videotape, which has obviously degraded to the point of being pure shit.  When they went to do the HD transfer for the show, they really didn't have any other choice.

Don't worry, they stop doing that in season 2
