I am EXTREMELY fond of BoB as well, so....yeah.

I'll give it a try if I can.

Life could either become a formulaic cop show where the good guys always catch the bad....or it could be something more...I'm waiting to see because the lead character is so, so interesting. No one else really has much to this point...but it doesn't really matter yet.

My Shows -

Kid Nation - Labor laws, shmaber laws - this show is enterntaining. They picked a really interesting bunch of kids with big personalities and high levels of intelligence. I really enjoy this show and hope that they somehow manage a second season. Child labor laws are overrated anwyay.

Weeds - I heart Kevin Nealon.

Dexter - I heart the VERY sexy Michael C. Hall. The dark humor is right in my wheelhouse for entertainment.

House - I don't think its the greatest thing since slice bread, but its fairly well written and I try my best to not miss an episode.

Heroes - its decent enough to watch.

Survivor - a time kill.

The Office - I don't think its off to a great start, but still funny.

Shows I watch on occassion: Survivor Man, Dinner Impossible, Ace of Cakes, Dirty Jobs, Two and Half Men, NCIS.

I've been meaning to watch Journeyman - just haven't had enough time.

I'm afraid that the Ross-and-Rachel-ization of the Office has begun. I hope NBC proves me wrong, but I am justifiably skeptical.

Life's third episode was very solid.

fluid.forty.one · 10-25-2007, 01:05 AM

south park was hilarious tonight

jesus being one of the 9 most powerful imagination characters was pretty funny

Big Boy Laroux · 10-25-2007, 08:51 AM

in the first part, it also showed Joseph Smith, Buddha, and Krishna. But no mohammed.

i loved that jesus was in the "most powerful group" with Aslan, Morpheus, Glinda the Good Witch, Gandalf, Luke Skywalker, Zeus, Wonder Woman, and Popeye. Hilarious!

fluid.forty.one · 10-25-2007, 09:30 AM

haha I missed Joseph Smith and Buddha

btw I loove the squirrel haha

Flacolaco · 10-25-2007, 09:31 AM

Scrubs is back tonight

Very confusing spoilers....sort of:

Quote:

For some viewers, the on/off romance between Braff's J.D. and Sarah Chalke's Elliot is at the core of the series. There's good news and bad news for them tonight. The half-hour opens with J.D. and Elliot sharing a hospital nap and coming darned close to, well, you know. The near miss causes Elliot to reevaluate her engagement to dopey Keith, while J.D. thinks deeply about his commitment to pregnant Kim. But even seeing the truth doesn't mean they're going to act on it.

You may be surprised exactly where we are by the end of the ep. The final shot is not what you're hoping for, but it will bring you back next week for sure. Of course, you'd be coming back anyway if you've acquired a taste for the "Scrubs" brand of spaz-tacular character development. The doctors are forever exposing their most vulnerable and ridiculous sides to each other, and not for nothing is tonight's show called "My Own Worst Enemy."

jthig32 · 10-25-2007, 10:06 AM

Life continues to be good.

Although, I am irritated by the "clues" they give during commercials. I watched the first three...not via TV. So now I need to see if I can find those first three clues bit online somewhere.

MavsX · 10-25-2007, 11:07 AM

you guys are sleeping on "it's always sunny in Philadelphia"

watch it, its hilarious. i love danny devito now...

do it.

Big Boy Laroux · 10-25-2007, 12:27 PM

oh my god! how did i forget to put "it's always sunny in philadelphia" in the list of shows i watch? I'm ashamed of myself...

i freakin' LOVE that show. it really is amazing. hilarious, and AMAZING interplay between the cast. devito is the weak link of course (he's not bad or anything, just not as good as the rest), but his presence is what has allowed the show to stay on the air, so i'll give him a pass.

i kinda think devito has made the show legit. The show was good when he wasn't there yet..but now hes part of the crew..i love it.

Did you see the episode where Dee is dating the retarded person.

Its my favorite episode..i think it aired a few weeks ago.

LOL

Big Boy Laroux · 10-25-2007, 01:16 PM

to me, the best episode is "Dennis and Dee go on Welfare", i think from Season 2.

but "dee is dating a retarded person" was also great, simply because of the "Night Man" and "Day Man" songs.

but really, they're all great.

as far as devito making the show legit, that's what i meant by his presence allowing the show to be on the air. They needed a bigger name actor or there wouldn't have been a second season.

now that's genius!

good work.

Dirkgreatness · 10-25-2007, 07:22 PM

Anyone watch Smallville? Awesome show.

sike · 10-29-2007, 11:38 AM

its official

Life is a great show through its first 5 episodes

Flacolaco · 10-29-2007, 12:24 PM

Crap I think I forgot to DVR Chuck tonight, and I'm going to the Stars game.

crap!

Big Boy Laroux · 10-29-2007, 12:42 PM

can you not set up a season pass that will record all new showings? I thought all DVRs (not just TiVo) could do that.

and since i'm the TiVo spokesman on this board - if you had TiVo, you could log into your account on tivo.com and schedule the recording through the interweb. i've done that many times for games i want to record. Like, if i'm not going to be home in time to catch the whole game.

that being said, i think NBC has Chuck episodes on its homepage.

Flacolaco · 10-29-2007, 12:50 PM

I don't have Chuck on a season pass because I've been there to watch them live so far, this is the first monday night there's been a Stars game this season.

And yeah, that sounds awesome to be able to do it online. But alas, I am sufficiently happy with my FIOS DVR and price that I don't care that much.

Big Boy Laroux · 10-29-2007, 12:57 PM

gotcha. I just set all my shows for season pass. Even the ones i end up not liking. I find it's much easier to set the show for a season pass if i'm interested in it, then cancel the season pass if i don't like it. As opposed to having to remember to set individual recordings each week in the chance i might miss it. you never know what might happen. then you don't run into situations like the one you're hitting.

plus, i like recording shows even if i'm home to watch it live. start watching it late (25 minutes after the hour for an hour-long show), then you can catch up to real-time by the time it's over, and never have to watch commercials.

but anyway, you can catch it online at nbc.com - non hi-def, though.

Life is a little heavy on the cheese...but its not bad.

about the show life...but its so odd seeing the actor speaking in his native accent

mqywaaah · 11-03-2007, 03:31 AM

Hmmm... lets see...

Heroes
24
Lost

I guess that's about it.

Flacolaco · 11-05-2007, 01:18 PM

So Heroes has shot an alternate ending to their season because of the writers strike, so the season will end in December

LOST only got through about 8 scripts to shoot, same with 24.

New shows like Chuck will not be able to survive a long break with no new shows.

The networks are loading up on reality shows for the spring.

TV is ending for the year very quickly. Stupid writers strike. unions are gay.

With the Hollywood writers going on strike for the first time in 20 years, a new generation of TV watchers has no idea how it's going to impact them as Tinseltown scribes walk the picket lines.

Though this strike affects all 12,000 screenwriters and TV writers in the Writers Guild of America, the television industry will be hit first and immediately.
Thanks to the Los Angeles Times, here's a breakdown of how some of our favorite shows will be impacted. And it isn't going to be pretty.
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Conan O'Brien Show" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" will go into repeats immediately because those daily shows are staffed with WGA writers. Also add "Late Night with David Letterman" to that mix.
"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" also will go into reruns immediately because their scripts are written daily due to their topicality. (Now this strike is starting to hurt.)
Also, variety shows like "Saturday Night Live" will go into reruns immediately since they depend on topical comedy as well.
Here is a sampling of sitcoms and dramas that will be affected:
* "Lost" - The serialized thriller from ABC is expected to have eight of 16 episodes in the can when it premieres in mid-season. Unfortunately, because it's starting late, it will have fewer episodes ready than most other series that premiered in the fall.
I would imagine that's a similar number for Fox's "24," which premieres in mid-January.
* "Moonlight" and "Cane" - Both of these CBS dramas will have 12 to 13 of their initial order of episodes done. Whether they get a full order of 22 episodes for the season is another matter involving the ratings.
* "Scrubs" - The final season of NBC's sitcom has 12 of 18 episodes completed.
* "Friday Night Lights" - It's expected that 15 of its 22 episodes will be done.
* "Heroes" - This is my own guess, but I would expect the same number of episodes of this fan favorite will be done as for "Friday Night Lights."
Already, the first full casualty of the strike is a "Heroes'" midseason spinoff, "Heroes: Origins." Reports are swirling that NBC has canceled that show because of the strike.
* "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" - USA's spinoff from the "L&O" franchise has 12 of 22 episodes produced, which means the second half of the season is in jeopardy.
* "Nip/Tuck" - The first 14 episodes, according to the Times, are done, but production has not started on the second cycle of 14.
"Dirt" and "The Riches" - These two FX series likely will be affected because production just started on both of them.

Big Boy Laroux · 11-05-2007, 02:20 PM

we need a resolution now!

jthig32 · 11-05-2007, 02:28 PM

Son of a b.

First I lose Studio 60 last season, now EVERYTHING will be cut short this season, and a show like Chuck, and probably Life (which is awesome, btw) will probably not even make it to a second season because of having its legs chopped off midseason.

DANGIT ALL. Get a resolution to this stupid thing already.

Big Boy Laroux · 11-05-2007, 03:24 PM

i was wondering about Chuck and Life. They specifically got orders to fill out the rest of the season. But with no writers, there's no way to get new episodes from scratch. I wonder how many of the new order they actually have written?

Big Boy Laroux · 11-05-2007, 04:02 PM

here's another link listing affected shows.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-s...la-home-center

Big Boy Laroux · 11-05-2007, 04:04 PM

hmmmm, look at Journeyman... expected to have 13 of 13 completed. could this actually save that show? that NBC would want something to air? if so, at least that's good news for that show...

but man, this is crazy. and i freakin' love TV.

bernardos70 · 11-05-2007, 06:35 PM

My favorite show right now is Five Towns, starring one of my favorite actors ever, Johny Chase.

If you like the Office, or just want to understand the writers point of view:

I didn't know that Toby is also a writer. Obviously Kelly and Ryan are writers, and also the guy who plays Dwights cousin.
