THE TV THREAD AKA MY MIND IS BLOWN RIGHT NOW

[r00]

haha. 

I am going to wait until this season finishes and then burn through them all at once.

Right now I am watching that American Horror Story series.  It is seriously demented shit, but entertaining.

I think my favourites are the Doakes seasons (1 and 2).

Mine too, I always thought it was a shame that they never brought in Dr Danko from the second book though, he had a good connection with Doakes.

I'm going to do the same. I started watching the first season, then waited for season two. Then said fuck it, waiting till it's all done.

Just found out the second half of breaking bad season 5 won't air until next year

[doom]

i cant believe where they left it. that, along with how they did the flash forward in the first episode of the 5th season really has me excited.

[luna]

I KNOW!

Loved the scene of Walt taking care of mike's guys, quite possibly one of my alltime fav bb scenes

[r00]

trying not to read some of this as i have 2 more episodes to watch...

But it's a blatant bullshit money grab on AMC's part to get two seasons out of the cost of one.  AMC is in financial trouble and I can almost guarantee this move is all a part of that.  It's the same trouble that caused them to attempt massive rate increases with all new broadcast contracts this year and get dropped by Dish and a few other carriers.  Now, due to their greed, they are in even greater financial trouble since they have to adjust their ad prices due to having at least 25% less viewership in the states. (Not to mention revenue and ratings losses from those AMC dropped customers that now turn to bitorrent instead of their DVR's to grab their "split season.")

The show is one of the best shows of all time, but AMC business practices can suck it.

r00 we must discuss when you are caught up!

[r00]

watching the last episode tonight!  8)
I will soon be watching all the seasons again because turtle has yet to see it.  I can't wait.  What a ride.

Ok apparently I haven't tuned in to anything on TLC in quite a while, wtf happened? Can this really be classified as "learning" at this point?

[Goose]

TLC haven't referred to themselves as "The Learning Channel" in years.  To be honest, it looks more like its run by Barnum & Bailey now.

[luna]

Every single commercial break was all about this honey boo boo show, it hurt my brain so I had to turn it off

[r00]

I thought Honey Boo Boo was some new cartoon until I looked it up. 

Then I cried.

[Goose]

At least they've moved away from the non-stop deluge of dwarves.  That was seriously getting insulting for a while, I think they have four simultaneous shows about different "little people" running at the same time.

Every last one of their commercial breaks seriously looked like an old-timey sideshow hawker.  "WE GOT MIDGETS!!  THEY'RE MAKING CHOCOLATE!!  THEY'RE CURING PATIENTS!!  THEY'RE BUILDING CATAPULTS!!  MIDGETS!! YAY!!"

Now they've kinda moved into the mass procreation arena more than anything else.  "HOLY FUCK LOOK AT HOW MUCH FUCKING THESE FUCKING PEOPLE HAVE FUCKED!!"

[r00]

I have started watching the reboot Hawaii Five-0 series and I can't tell you how much I love it so far.  Well written, well acted, and you can't beat the scenery.  I remember watching the original with my parents as a little kid, so it's got that nostalgia thing going for it too.
