I hate when people read so much into things especially television shows.. Just because it sucked doesn't mean they have to delve deep into it and try to polish a turd. Its a good show but that was a shitty episode

You should take a class on directing movies sometime. Every camera angle is significant. Every transition. Every line of dialogue. It's why scenes take so many shots to film. It's why directors get paid so much, and it's why there are so few successful ones.

KC PAK'rs, we don't get Ch 9 (ABC) anymore on TWC, so get busy figuring out how you're going to watch Behind the Final Rose, The Final Rose, and of course, the Bachelor Pad

Do you have to switch the input away from the cable box to the TV to use the antenna or how does that work?

hdmi serves as my cable in
antenna into coax input for OTA

to go to antenna, go into settings, turn cable off, scan channels, change input from HDMI to TV, boom roasted

That seems like a lot of effort for 1 channel.

ya it took about 3-5 mins, but i can't live w/o bachelor pad. 

i'd be shocked if we're without abc by the weekend

finished arrested development last night over the course of about a week and a half.  very satisfied with that series.  not the funniest ever (curb, seinfeld), but maybe the smartest.  loved how many running jokes they had.

It's funnier the second time through. They foreshadow a lot and you miss it because you don't know what it's referencing, and there are just a lot of jokes in every episode and you're bound to miss a couple the first time through.

Love BB, but you shouldn't have to take a movie directing class to enjoy a friggin television show episode.

All I was trying to say is that there's no way Vince Gilligan just threw together an episode of Breaking Bad for the hell of it. There was a reason for it.

yeah, good descriptor.

*edit*  oops, i read that as "funnest", as in, most fun.

[michigancat]

All I am saying is I don't give a crap who Vince Gilligan is nor should I have to in order to enjoy his TV show

And, boom, Two and a Half Men is created.

breaking bad could have cut out about 30 minutes of debris floating in the pool, too.

you just don't understand the camera angles or the meaning behind the floating debris!

They had to do that because the fly episode went over budget.

One time I was in my AP Calculus class in high school and a group of special needs kids was walking down the hall. One of them came in and started making fun of us for being so smart! It didn't really make a lot of sense, but we thought it was kind of cute and eventually someone came in and got him. Anyways, don't know why I was thinking about that just now, but I wanted to share it with someone.

BSG does get bonus points for the frequent use of the word "shazbot!". But I still don't care what happens next on BSG and all I can think about all day is what Linden and Holder are going to unearth next.

Well, if I were 7 eps into BSG and 10 into The Killing, I would agree with you, but as I said, BSG does get better.

BSG was my favorite show of all-time.  Loved every second of it.

does the doctor who is always hallucinating ever die? I was really hoping they would execute him when they had the video of him blowing up the server. He is like the worst actor in the world and my god that scene where he whispers on the toilet. BSG is approaching Sons of Anarchy "I love it because it's so awful" territory after ten episodes.

The pilot of The Newsroom was pretty good. Great rant.

I think I'm really gonna like Newsroom. The first 5 minutes got me hooked.

Still can't wait for Boardwalk to come back on though. Favorite show of all time.

I'm enjoying the Newsroom thus far.  Of course, I'm a huge Sorkin fan, so, yeah.  To be expected, I guess.

He survives until the very end of the series (which was the most clever finale I've ever seen*).  He's actually in the final scene.

It doesn't get really good until Season 2.  Season 3 is mind-blowingly good from start to finish.

* I hate most finales, so anything that leaves me satisfied at the end and makes me go, "Ooooooooohhhh!" really sets it apart.

[michigancat]

crap. I am going to have to learn to really love to hate this guy.

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!
Agreed best show ever though 

michicat, I think we can print out some articles indicating that he is not the worst actor in the world.
