I was a Doctor Who fan when Tom Baker played the character. The last couple "evolutions" of the character, I haven't cared for. The new Dr. Who series is very impressive, IMHO. As you said, the
writing is good, and much better special effects.
Sounds like you enjoyed a few scenes in season 2...
I like TV Land too. History channel, Discovery, Food Channel and DIY are my favorites.
The study is right. TV is garbage.
Yeah, saw every episode.
Venture Brothers on Adult Swim
Some FReepers like this show. We should probably let them know. :(
"House" is one of the very few new shows I watch. There are a few others I can stand if I stumble into them, but other than "The Office", "My Name is Earl", and Fox's Sunday night cartoons, I'd rather pop in an old movie.
My computer monitor already possesses HD quality, so I can watch the next generation movies on the computer monitor until such time as it becomes worthwhile to invest in a big screen.
Zero interest in anything on that list.
I'm not 49, but I am a '49er. My wife likes LOST and other stuff, like Law & Order and so on. I'm mostly a History Channel and ESPN buff, but I do watch the Cartoon Network, which is very youth oriented - surprise, surprise.
As the years go by, it's hard to keep up. Back in the 80's I loved to be hip, but now that's all nostalgia. I liked Cowboy Bebop when it came on CN's "Adult Swim", and I even learned to appreciate Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but now they are putting out some really repellent stuff. Last year or so I saw some wacky SciFi cartoon that heavily pushed a gay agenda. Heterosexuality was portrayed as a quirky aberration - I forget the details, but it was totally political.
Then just last week I saw some show that featured a giant robotic Jesus controlled by Pat Robertson, who looked a lot like Dubya. The heroes were a bunch of bizarre misfits, including a pair of "Siamese twins" and an "adult" baby. The robotic Jesus had some kind of showdown with the Jewish Messiah ( sort of a dimwit wrinkly giant,) with a rabbi making commentary. I forget the exact outcome, but the robot Jesus more or less prevailed, I guess, as the heroes were captured and were then regaled, while under restraint, with all the horrible things that were going to happen to them, in the form of Bible quotes read by Robertson's minions. This was a very long litany. The heroes had a plan for escape which involved fishing a piece of clam meat from one of their ears, but it fell on the floor. Then in crawls some kind of worm thing, to the rescue I suppose, and the baby says, "Oh look, my foreskin." ... Well, that was it for me! O Brave New World!
this American, born in 1981, doesn't like what's on either. Besides why watch TV when there's plenty of FReeping to be done?
I heard that Murdock of Fox soon will offer cable station viewing for free in the U.S. No more paying a monthly bill for all those TV channels. Apparently, this is already the case in Europe. The loss in money revenue is offset by consumers willing to buy the extras, pay-for-view, special sports programs, etc.
What? I thought I was "not in tune" because I like a plot and decent characters and I was getting tired of stuff that was little more than a series of gimmicks and cutesy jokes.
But I like Mythbusters. Even if the "plot" is just "how big of an explosion can we get?"
I watch new episodes of ER, but I hate the damn commercials. I have a DVR to record it off the air. When the commecials get too annoying, I find something better to do until the show is completely on the DVR. At that point I can skip right over the commercial garbage.
ER backed off on the homo stuff this season. I was real close to just taking the TV out to the range for an interesting target.
I can't even imagine. It's all about the money.
WOW, a conservative Republican at age 25. There is hope for this great nation.
Mythbusters is fine...if Kari is part of the action.
