Anything good on TV this season?

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

Anything good on TV this season?

Post by Eternal Padawan »

It's that time of year where all the networks launch all their new shows at the same time and then wonder why 85% of them fail. Retards. But whatever.

Of the new stuff, what, if anything, is peaking your interest?

Heroes?
Studio 60?
Ugly Betty?
the Nin9?
Justice? (ha ha...my friend works on that one)

Discuss.

South Park has been okay. Drawn Together and Family Guy are bitching. That's about it for me. Heroes just doesn't "do it" for me.

"heroes" is the only thing i've actually kept track of, in terms of what day it's on. the ONLY thing on TV that holds ANY real interest to me.

What ever that show is on FOX with Peter from "Office Space" is called is pretty good. Has anyone watched Smith with Ray Liotta?! I'm in class when that's on and I've never gotten the chance to check it out.

Jesus, that was fast. It obviously isn't as good as I thought it looked, so I can't say I'm sad.

I caught Help Me Help You last night. It was pretty freaking funny. The crazy Asian chick almost made me piss my pants.

Yeah, Smith wasn't putting out the numbers they wanted, so it got axed. But on the bonus side, they had some of their production offices right next to ours, so now we have a bunch of extra parking spaces. I personally am now the Smith Prep D.P. :)

Sometimes I like curling up with a nice cup of hot chocholate, a warm blanket, and watch Oprah.
GOD! That is so AWESOME!!

Of the new stuff, Studio 60 is quite good (but I've only watched it twice). 30 Rock as well, but I've never sat through a whole show.

For old stuff 24 is obviously back on, based on the fact that EVERYONE watched it over the past 2 nights for 4 hours EXCEPT MY WIFE AND I. She has decided that it's too stressful, and no longer wishes to follow it. :shock:

Imagine my chagrine when the radio announcers this morning blew the whole huge spoiler, without any warning. :frus: I might not even bother downloading them now.

I have still never seen an episode of 24.

To me, it seems like the entire "I have to save the world in exactly 24 hours" gimmick wouldn't have worked a second time. And yet, this is something like Season 14, right?
