Mad Men, despite being the only show on tv where the ladies have hips, always kind of struck me as a boring exploration and more than a little sexist


I've only made it through the first season, but the show is basically ABOUT sexism/gender roles/etc, not about endorsing it or glamorizing it. Not saying you'll like it, but it's an entirely different animal from Entourage.

The greatest TV show ever.

Raising Hope is my favorite show on right now. It's about a poor white family with a new baby. Maybe it's the new Roseanne. It's damned funny though. And it's got Martha Plimpton, and I've always thought she was hot, so yay.

Also liking Cougartown a lot. And IRT Deadliest Roads, but that went off. My tv guilty pleasure at the moment is Celebrity Rehab. I know, I know...

Dude I love Dr. Drew.

Raising Hope is good, although the premise is lame. The parents totally steal the show. I think one reason my husband and I like it is we can relate to it. We had kids young (19) and they're that age now.

Egad. This show is probably the richest story-telling currently on television.

Breaking Bad is also really good, as mentioned before. Surprised nobody mentioned The Walking Dead yet. Really good for the genre. AMC is just quality all the way around, but I did miss Rubicon. I guess no big whoop as it was canceled after a single season.

Rich story-telling and all style, no substance are not mutually exclusive, good sir.


And as hard as I find it to admit, since I've been a fan of the book from day 1, but The Walking Dead turned out pretty damn poor so far. When they follow the book it's mostly good, but when they deviate it can get really painful - like those charitable gangsters for example.

Sounds pretty ominous. I'll have to keep that in mind. I've been told to avoid Caprica as well.

Phantos is right, IT Crowd is pretty good. It's no Snuff Box, but it'll do.

Snuff Box looks good. Too bad it's not on netflix.
Matt Berry is a complete retard.
That being said I think I need to recommend our other favorite fucked out and tripped up britcoms: The Mighty Boosh and Darkplace

Darkplace is awesome. I couldn't ever really get into the Mighty Boosh. They showed it on the Cartoon Network over here for a while. I guess maybe I didn't give it enough of a shot.

I love Schwartzman in this show. Very underrated show in my opinion.

This show rules. The father crracks me up and some of the situations Cloris Leachman are completely off the wall. I'm glad it got renewed for a second season.


I'm curious to see what FOX does with Running Wilde. It has it's moments and I think Keri Russell is a hot piece of ass but I'm not sure they will bring it back for another season.

Shameless after 2 episodes is my favorite thing on right now. Just amazingly inappropriate and funny. I know, it's a remake of a Brit show, but it's got William H. Macy and Joan Cusack.

After Howard Stern interviewed Camille Grammer, I checked out a couple of episodes of "The Real Houswifes of Beverly Hills". That shit has got to be totally scripted, right? Either way, that shit is shameful to watch or have aired, but watchable in it's own trainwreck sort of way.

I have not watched a 'reality' show since the third or fourth season of the Real World. Part of me hates everyone who does. You're the reason TV sucks.

The first episode was funny as hell. I have the second episode on the DVR waiting to be watched. The scene where the "gay" brother is getting a blowjob and the girl's father catches him in the act was hilarious. I assumed the clowns were Joan Cusack's since she's a bit loony in this show but they were the fathers.

Im about done with TV also, and going back to my good ol days of rebbit ears and DVD's. Once Terriers didnt get renewed I said fuck it. But Ill give it another chance if all these episodes I have recorded of living dead or something like that on AMC pay off. Been hearing good things.
