Other Space was really good. Gotta give it a chance, it picks up steam.

I started X-Files with the idea of getting caught up for the new season, but the new fall season started up and I stalled out in season 4. I need to try to find time, but the new episodes will have to linger on the DVR a while.

Pittsburgh used to be on the first strike map. Fortunately all of the steel mills are gone and soetoro just shut down all the coal mines and fracking is in the dumper. Now this area is like that guy sitting in front of his trailer in the Arizona desert that waves at the 2 cars that drive past each day.

Great show until the writers went off the rails - the nuclear attack was part of the "vast right wing conspiracy"? Come on.
The lunie-lefty in them destroyed a great foundation for a long-running series.

:)We are on the xfiles now.Only on the 2nd year and only do one show a night with a glass of wine.We all need to start a nexfix group.

We're doing the X-Files, too. We wanted our young son (22) to know what we've been referring to all these years. Now, after seeing Season One, he has an idea.

The wife ordered seasons 2,3, and 4 and we pick them up tomorrow. We're tech primitives; we ordered them on DVD--we're not into NetFlix just yet.

I just finished the x files series on Netflix. It took me two months and many bottles of wine but it was worth it. If you like British detective series, try “Midsomer Murders” and “George Gentry”. Both are outstanding...

Jericho was good, but a girlfriend I was seeing at the time referred to the latter season as “a soap opera with no electricity.” LOL

I half-expected the writers to have the characters rejoice in the destruction of America, because it would cut down on Global Warming.

It was a great show, but was canceled before the storyline was resolved, which drives me crazy. ‘Boss,’ with Kelsey Grammer suffered the same fate.

Yup. Ultimate prepper has a nuke in the basement. First season ok with the evil guy from Shelbyville (Simpsons reference). Second season was stooped. Then the same guy shows up in the Walking Dead...hummm.

HA! I guess a nuclear winter would have that effect.

I have to disagree. The premise was worse than inane, and the “reluctant hero with a mysterious past” schtick got so trite it read like a fortune cookie. There was one scene in an early episode when the townsfolk, realized that with the power out all the meat in the city was going to spoil. So rather than trying to preserve it, they throw a huge barbecue, while fallout from the upwind bombs is still coming down.

People that stupid deserve to be wiped out.

It was a good show. I dont remember lefty preaching. Then it was gone. Prolly good cause Revolution went to crap in the last season.

Shows like these seem to be doomed when they let broadcast television get ahold of them. They'd fare better in the hands of networks such as AMC or HBO where the envelope could be pushed a little more.

Reading about Jericho, looks like a good subject. I'd be up for a good SHTF show like The Walking Dead minus the zombies. Make it 100% believable.

I started watching it when it first aired on tv and enjoyed it but forget why I stopped. Too many times they’ll change timeslots as if they want new shows to fail.

Thanks to NETFLIX for giving us a new season of “Longmire” Great show and great actors. Come to think of it, Gerald McRainey was in both Jericho and Longmire.

The only solution is the widespread extermination of all those I call ‘enemy’.

The second season went to crap because they barely, and only, got a second season.

Iirc the show was planned out with a 5-7 year arc. It was on the bubble and despite a very loyal (but small) following it was cancelled.

The fans launched a campaign for the show to be continued, at least to the point of wrapping it up. Sent in bags of peanuts (mentioned in a previous post) due to the character on the show invoking Bastone and telling an enemy “NUTS!” in response to an order to surrender.

It got the fans a partial second season to wrap up much of the storyline, but it required a lot of cramming stuff in, in a very disjointed and convoluted way.

Same thing happened with “Chuck” ... At the end it was funded by fans buying sandwichs from sponsor Subway. Subway got all sorts of hilarious (intentionally) product placement in the show. But it was still cut off too early with too much pretzeling to wrap up plotlines.
