The official TV show thread

Post by **Laik** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 12:38 am

I see.

24 is the only series I kept up with aside from Grey's Anatomy and that was only for two episodes (Code Black, I mean they had to take a cannonball out of some guy's chest). 24 is excellent despite that it was kind of weak once or twice.

In all honestly, if you're going to watch a series on television then 24 is the one you should try. I only watched the first three seasons so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Either way, no need to lock something just because some people want to start hating. Besides, Jack is so cool this thread will automatically unlock itself if it is every locked.

24 is on fox... its not a cable show. Kind of makes this thread useless when everyone right off the back just bashes the idea of this thread.

Well I've always liked 24 but it's not something i must watch. I've completely missed everything this season. My friend was trying to get me to catch up by dl'ing the eps but i just didnt have the motivation.

well you can ask halfnhalf that cuz its his thread, but it seems there is a 24 discussion starting to grow from the last threads, *shrugs

woa... you are missing a great season. too much has happened, and crap hell the first 5 minutes of the season were a WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!

if you have seen some of the previous seasons, you need to do yourself a favor and get caugh up with this one before anyone spoils it for you.

Changed the thread topic to include a broader subject, and thus avoiding a permanent lock or deviating to another topic. I think everyone should be happy here.

Since I hardly watch TV except in rare occasions, I enjoy watching Iron Chef, Unit One, and Glasshouse. The best shows Australian TV has to offer.

where did you watch up to?

Everyone do yourselves a favor and watch "The Shield". Best crime drama out there, and one of the best shows on television. Season Five is the only one I've seen all the way through (so far) but my roommate has the other seasons on DVD and I am watchign them. I think Spike TV is running the first season of The Shield now, so go watch it!

House is the best show on television. End of argument. But Fox is moving the time slot around like a red headed step child. So the ratings will fall and the show will most likely be cancelled.

Post by **Quest** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 8:12 am

i have not seen 'the shield' but i heard it was pretty gritty.
house was pretty good. but i think the format ultimately killed it as a long-running series.
facing quirky illnesses and solving them with quirky means by a quirky doctor is really fresh and makes for a good story.
but how many times can it be rinsed and repeated?

I´m with Ayanami, HOUSE is the best series on FOX. It´s very interesting, and it´s so real. And House is very funny.

Post by **halfnhalf** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 8:29 am

since i JUST have been introduced to cable tv (god i love college) ive been getting into the shield and the show is intense.

House is damn good, i never know when its on... now what fox needs to do is get Arrested development back, now had to be one of the biggest mistakes fox has done.

house is a good show also. but that freakin gayass show called Bones stole its old showing time on Wednesday. Bones is a terribly shitty show. i hope it gets cancelled.

and yeah buzkashi, you are missing out on a great season. i dont think its the best in my opinion cuz i think season 4 had to be the craziest, but there is a LOT of changes in this season so you pretty much cant watch any future seasons without first watching this one.

hey, whos hyped up that PRISONBREAK is back??!!

OH MAN i cant wait... Prisonbreak is just too good.

I prefer "Lost" myself.

Post by **Sandman** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 11:29 pm

Lost has been jerking use around lately, not a whole lot of substance. There needs to be a break through to turn the show around IMO.

Favorite show right now would have to be Deal or No Deal... even if it is a game show its exciting and funny, plus very supensful.

OMG DEAL OR NO DEAL?!?!?! sooo great. it gets crazy when someone is in the high money range of 400k... thats when it gets intense.

Post by **dos.azn** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 3:34 am

deal or no deal is a great show. even though the game itself is silly, its a show that builds a tremendous amount of suspense and really shows how greed can eventually consume a person to nothing.

todays was a good example, and an EXTREMELY funny one. the lady had the offer for like 150 Gs and she doesn't take it. she picks the case that has the $1 million in it, and now her highest case was 75 Gs hahHAHAHAHAaha. then her next offer was obviously shitty, and she does the dumb thing of picking no deal. then she picks the case with her current high price of 75 Gs and then her highest was 5 Gs HAHAHAHAHAHA. in the end, she eliminated all except the penny and the 5 Gs and luckily her case had the 5 Gs in it so she went away with 5 Gs instead of a penny.

real funny show, i laugh at greedy idiots like her

. the show ended with the army guy having like a 175 G offer. i hope he takes it cause he seems like a great guy, and so he doesnt share the fate of that dumb bitch

Just wanna say why close my 24....

People make so many threads about awesome they are and i cant make one about 24.....

Post by **psi29a** » Sat May 27, 2006 7:20 pm

not so... I re-read the thread. If people want to chat up about 24 and only 24, then by all means.

This is the general TV thread.

Post by **Libaax** » Sat May 27, 2006 7:24 pm

Thanks for reopening

i just finished season 5 and wanted to see a reply or two of what people think of 24 and this season before letting the thread rest in peace.

Post by **psi29a** » Sat May 27, 2006 7:27 pm

its cool, my roommate is a 24 fan. As if my father.

Post by **Buzkashi** » Sat May 27, 2006 9:38 pm
