Be Excellent To Each Other

I love Breaking Bad. I series linked it on FX, but then for some reason it stopped being on halfway through the first series. Is the resumption the second series? If so, what happened to the rest of the first one?

Theres only 6 episodes in season 1. Theres already been a season 2, season 3 starts in march.

Heh.

Turns out I saw all of Series 1.

Now I need to find Series 2.

Whoah, wait - what's this?

At last, Tom Hanks brings a sister-show to one of my fave TV productions of all time.

Thanks, Hanks. Thanks.

No, wait.

?
Hanks was involved with the first one, too.

Joke revolves around knowledge of Look Around You's "Thanks ants, thants," joke.

Bit obscure, I know.

*Clicks Submit*

Ooh. New post.

YAY! Kalmar got it!

Has anyone else noticed just how many American TV shows are absolutely saturated in 'orange'? Orange, orange everywhere. It's really offputting.

It's all the fake tan...

We dont seem to have a 'general purpose UK TV thread' but Being Human returns for the start of its 2nd season tonight on BBC3

Thanks for the reminders, guys!

Woo-hoo! House is back after its winter break today, too.

Huzzah! I hope that Lie To Me and SG:U are back on soon!

Ghost whisperer has returned triumphantly!

have been watching "The Wire" lately. I know i'm late to the party, but its very very good. It's HBO quality and realism through and through. It's by watching shows like this that i don't know how i watch Dexter.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Glee' last night.

Even the link between the two hours was funny, as the announcer guy said hello to Simon Pegg (who had tweeted that he was watching it).

I also enjoyed Glee, even though I wasn't really watching it. The bad lip sync and dubbing was annoying though.

Indeed. As was my V+ box not recording the last minute of either of the two hours.

The end of the first one was Journey. It was excellent. The end of the second hour... not so good.

I found Glee very up-and-down, but on the whole it was good fun. Sue Sylvester (played by the always-awesome Jane Lynch) makes it worth watching almost single-handedly - her disparaging description of Emma when she's chatting to Will's wife about halfway through the season is an absolute work of art.

Anyone watched "Castle"? It stars everyone's favourite spaceship captain Nathan Fillion as an author who helps the police in a similar fashion to The Mentalist only he's not right all the time and doesn't put his hands in his suit jacket pockets.

I'm halfway through season 1 and it's thoroughly entertaining with basically Mal Reynolds saving the day with less buckling of his swash but still plenty of sarcasm and some decent lines - favourite so far his ringing up of his detective associate to tell her gleefully "Guess who's got a date with a prostitute?".

Worth a watch if you like The Mentalist or Bones.

SOLD!

Is this an alternative back-story for Frank Castle?

Or, of course, Jessica Fletcher.

I have grabbed the first two episodes of Castle. I'll see if it passes the Wife test.

She does heart Firefly though, so we're off to a good start.

Chuck was okay. I imagine it will get better.

Yeah, it cut off halfway through the songs each time.

When the Journey song came on I was all, "Aaaah, now I see why they picked that song for little Joe in the X Factor"...

Just discovered Leverage. It's like the hustle but with a bigger budget and more action.

Good entertainment.

The first episode of the new series was so. Fucking. Good. I even ended up feeling sympathy for George despite the fact he spent the first 45 minutes or so being a 24-carat wanker.

I watched it last night and agree , strange that in previous shows you found out that at the correct time of the month all his sences become superhuman and yet that didnt work for him this time

And calling it now :

Michael C. Hall (Dexter) diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma

Ugh, nasty. Seems to be under control, though.

Also: I didn't realise he was married to the actress who plays his sister in Dexter, the skinny, white bitch.

They married over the new year just past i think - and yes it seems odd that he was going out with and has now married 'his sister'.

There have been 3 eps now and it ends on a cliffhanger which i have the answer to ...

Spoiler below - this wont make any sense to you unless you've watched the last episode and it is a spoiler so - up to you.

Watched the last 4 episodes of Season 2 of True Blood over the weekend: ZOMG AWESOME

That is all.

True Blood was one of those shows which has a weird vibe going on but its interesting , then it just goes totally nuts and never even considers going back to 'normal'

Sure there are plot inconsistances but there are that many strange things happening in front of you that you either forgive them or miss them completly.

FYI at the Golden Globes last night both Micheal C Hall and John Lithgow won for Dexter

Finished 'Life' S2 last night. I think it was a thoroughly excellent show, although it ended a little confusingly. The main female lead is incredibly attractive, and it also has brief appearances from Our Mrs Reynolds, who is fit.

YEah, I watched ep 3 last night. The girls in the house were squealing...

Ep 4 is out and has its nice touches

Is it? How many times a week are they screening this?

I watched ep4 of Chuck last night. It maintains a very pleasing level of entertainment for me. And still has one or two major LOLs per episode.

They started things off with 2 episodes back to back (Jan 10th) , then had the next one the very next day (Jan 11th) , and then the 4th one the week after (Jan 18th)

List is on here (warning some spoilers)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chuck_episodes

Next 3 are on for the next 3 weeks then a short break during Feb - starts up again 1st March and has another 7 one a week until mid April

Ah. I knew about the two part opening but didn't realise they were showing ep3 the following day - I thought it was the following week. Good stuff. I have ep 4 now on the mac upstairs

Awesome moment for Firefly fans in Castle, season 2 episode 5.

Castle, played by Nathan "Mal" Fillion is preparing for his Halloween Party and dresses up in a perfect Mal oufit. His daughter says "what are you supposed to be?" and Castle answers "Space Cowboy!" with a Firefly-esque chord on the soundtrack. Daughter then says "You last wore that costume over 5 years ago, shouldn't you let it go?"

I laughed out loud.
