My wife recently discovered Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic and is, at this very moment, laughing her fucking ass off watching it.

We've been enjoying the HBO series John Adams. I believe it's a 10 part series.

Is anyone watching Dirty Sexy Money? The series finally came to the UK recently and I caught the 2nd (3rd?) episode last night and enjoyed it.

It's not showing at the moment in the US because of the strike (and might not again this season) but I did enjoy it while it was on. The lead character is a bit bland (presumably intentionally) but Donald Sutherland is really good on it.

Well I just got around to watch the first 6 seasons of scrubs on DVD. All around a great series but in and after Season 5 it got really tiring.
It just seems that they didn't really know what to do with the characters any longer.
Cox's speeches were annoying and I still can't get around that whole "Give J.D. another girlfriend for two episodes just so that he can fuck it up again by being really childish"
In the first few seasons everybody had his/her quirks but overall they were portrayed as humans. Starting with season 5 the cast got really one-dimensional and they highlighted the quirky just too much. Especially the characters of Cox and J.D. which got from likeable but strange to "Oh my god I can't stand their antics any longer"
Oh and I can't still get over the whole J.D, and Kim and their unplanned child storyline. They really jumped the shark on this one in my opinion.
As far as Battlestar Galactica is concerned I'm still stuck in season 2. Great show but I can't watch more than one or to episodes at a time. Bleak and tough all around. Take the Pegasus episode for example, murder, attempted rape, political schemes and the like. Hard to watch at times without flinching but great, great writing. Sometimes I wonder how they manage to broadcast that without concerned parents getting their panties in a twist.
Oh and can anyone explain to me why they didn't make Adama an Admiral. You know before Pegasus arrived he commanded the whole Colony fleet so it might be a wise move to not have him lose his position by that really cold-hearted bitch.

I liked the funny parts of scrubs and tried to watch it when it first came out but I couldn't get over the jarring combination of silly comedy and terrible diseases killing people all over the place. * funny scene * * patient is given three months to live, dying from cancer * * funny scene *  |

We've been enjoying the HBO series John Adams. I believe it's a 10 part series.
I'm really, really into the Adams series. One of my favorite time periods. I live in a very historic region, and we have a lot of original materials from the time period in our closed stacks. And when General Knox (the fatass) rolls through and then they show one of his temporary fortifications, I got shivers because that is exactly the spot my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was at the time, he fought with Knox. He was probably one of the guys in that scene. The acting is top-notch, it's pretty good on every level from sets to cinematography, though some of the CGI stuff is a bit overly obvious. Giamatti is brilliant, but everyone is doing a great job. But it highlights the atrocious acting by the lead in the Tudors (my fiancee's favorite time period). We watched ep1-3 of Adams over the weekend and the first ep of the new season of Tudors last night and it was difficult (for me). Especially when the Henry character is surrounded by some decent actors (the Queen, Thomas, and last season Woolsey). |

I find Scrubs to be great in syndication since I can watch five or ten minutes of it every few nights while making dinner. If I had to grind out multiple seasons consecutively, I'd probably stab Zach Braff.

I got say Dirt was surprising good this (short) season. The new owner is a riot. The photographer is an amazing actor. Coutney Cox's "I hate celebrities" crusade is so satifying.

Yeah, i've caught a few eps. I like it too. I also like Eddie Izzard's show, though I'm afraid it might not last.

Sometimes I stand and watch it (the tiny plasma tv) for hours. Michael tries to hug Angela: "No." Jan doing the twirl with Tuna's hand while he sits on the sofa. But the song was the best. Reminds me of a cd submission by the artist we got a few years ago. On CD-R with a hand-written songlist. And a note saying mixed badly. And another note saying songs I might record in the future, with a list. And note saying one of those future songs "I might not record". A cd of the most tone-deaf, yet mesmerizingly bad songs I've heard. The Office pwns, babe. |

That Office episode was a scream. You have to worry about such a long layoff affecting the quality of the show, but that episode was all win.

That was awesome. I was also howling when Michael was grilling Phyllis about the professional softball player- "Would she fit in a regular-sized rowboat? Would it capsize?"

We're catching up on Earl. Great line when the faith healer's dad wants Earl to pretend to be injured.

There was a new futurama movie that came out last year, and the first "new" episodes airing on comedy central is the movie, but split up. Then there's completely new material following after that (I think 16 episodes are already made or something?).
[edit] Also, 3 other dvd movies are being made (each roughly 4 episodes long).
