Not new but caught up with season 2 of Portlandia. I like it a lot

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I find myself trying not to miss the new episodes of "Impractical Jokers" on Tru-TV.

Betty White's Off Their Rockers is similarly funny.

Portlandia is hilarious

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Its not new, but I flew through the 2 seasons of Archer on Netflix. I haven't laughed that hard at a TV show in a long time. I'm in love.

I know they're on season 4 right now. But I was wondering if there was anywhere to watch Season 3? Other than going out buying the DVDs.

The Following has been fairly good so far.

I could do without the over-wrought psycho babble BS.

I also think if they try and do the murder of the week thing its gonna suck. Good shows treat each episode like a piece of a puzzle...not all pieces are the same shape or size.

Did anyone check out The Americans last night?

[quote=SmootSmack;992121]Did anyone check out The Americans last night?[/quote]I thought it was FANTASTIC! It was like a movie - great acting, cool plot, and plenty of room to grow. I know it was just one episode, but I highly recommend it.

Nice. Thanks. I DVR'd it

I watched most but not all, and thought that it was very well done as well.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Loved it. Its something to fill in the void until Homeland and Dexter come back.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Was the last season of dexter any good? I don't have showtime, so I can only watch them when the DVD comes out. The previous season set up this one really well, so I'm pretty excited about it.

yeah, it was good.

also, you can watch just about any show you want on couchtuner.com. you just have to click on the small "watch [name of show] here" link and not any of the big links.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

The Following with Kevin Bacon the pilot, was dark but great acting helped saved it. Better than last year's Alcatraz which had no character development as the Following so far does.

Anyone check out House of Cards on Netflix yet. It looks interesting, but i actually find the release of the whole season all at once a bit "overwhelming." Its almost like i feel obligated to watch it all at once instead of just 1 hr per week. I dont know if i'm ready for that kind of committment.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

- I watched Homeland season 1. Not a bad show but did nothing for me. It's like 24 without the suspense. But I guess after [B]8 seasons [/B]of 24 that plotline is dead to me.

- Thanks for the recos on The League. I'm in season 3 and enjoying it. It's very very dumb but I lol hard a few times per episode. Goes very well with funny cigs too (not that I condone that behavior)...

- As for The Wire, it's still my favorite ever but it's a hard show to get into. Took me like 3 seasons to realize how much I liked it.

It's very good. I did watch the entire thing between Friday and Saturday because each show left me wanting to know what was going to happen next.

I like the original British version better, but this one held up very well. I recommend it.

Personally I love watching a TV series on Netflix, that way you can just fire through multiple episodes rather than waiting week to week. Don't feel obligated to watch a ton of episodes, take your time if you want.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

DUCK DYNASTY. Funniest show on TV! lol. It's like the Kardashians but redneck.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I checked out Duck Dynasty. Thought it was ok but it's not must-see tv for me. Also checked out the pilot episode of The Americans last night, even though it's set 7 years before my birth I really liked it. Looking forward to watching the next episode tonight.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I'm hooked on The Following. Creepy concept, great cast, and something new and fresh. Curious to see where the show goes and how they keep it going as a series full time.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Next season of Eastbound and Down is starting soon.

Its strange to say why i feel "obligated" in a negative way, as i've watched series in spurts on netflix as well. Discovered how i met your mother and walking dead late, as example and and watched both series in a matter of weeks. Right now, i just have so many other shows i've been watching i dont feel like starting anything else new. I'm sure ill check it out at some point though.

I feel that way about books. I have never not finished a book that I started.

Not new but a new (3rd) season of "Cake Boss: The Next Great Baker" has its final next week. Didn't miss one.

Do you read [U]Good Housekeeping[/U] and Knit during the commercials?

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

What's wrong with cake? Everyone loves cake. :D

Hey...I make the wife watch football and car shows...she like Cake Boss and baseball. It's a trade-off.

I am just pulling your leg.

I try not to watch food shows because they make me incredibly hungry. Especially late at night.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Does anyone here watch Game of Thrones? Ive read that its really good. How graphic is the violence and sex? How does it compare to something like Walking Dead or Dexter?

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Dish just added a channel called "Investigation Discovery" to my programming and I've been watching a lot of it. My wife is getting sick of seeing hot women murder their lovers. :D

I watch it. Good show but ALOT going on really have to pay attention. the sex and violence is equal to any R rated Hollywood flick maybe even a step above.

It is pretty damn graphic.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

It certainly helps to read the books, there's a lot missing in GoT show.

I also watch [URL="http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/the-devils-ride"]Devil's Ride[/URL], one of the funniest 'reality' shows I've watched.

If this is how real bikers behave.....<rolls_eyes>

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

king of nerds, sorta funny
derek - (BBC) is great
utopia (BBC) is pretty good

cult is stupid and full of bad acting.
the following is pretty boring.

i have the black mirror, but haven't watched it yet (think of it as a modern twilight zone)
haven't gotten around to americans yet.

better than TWD, not as good as dexter. the first season starts off pretty slow... they throw 200 names at you and never really give you a reason to care about what happens to any of them.

as far as sex and violence... it's about the same as any hbo show there.

Prepare yourself for the first episode... it's pretty nuts.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

shipping wars and Duck dynasty are my top 2 right now

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Duck Dynasty is the only show I make sure to watch.

It's great stuff

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

black mirror 2x03 (waldo) was great. the rest aren't bad.
zero hour = terrible. weird plot, slow... no thanks.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

where are you guys watching black mirror?
