What are you watching on TV? Showing 501-550 of 1,019

[Chris , cookie guilt]

They cancelled Longmire!

*rage*

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...but (to quote Sheldon Cooper) it ended in a cliff hanger....

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Looks like they're planning to make the 4th season and shop the show to other networks...

Keep hoping I guess.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Yeah, I'm thinking AMC or FX would be a good fit.

[Nyssa]

I'm STILL only watching TV.

SO, I had to return my birthday gift( The Mentalist) as 4 out of the 5 disc for season 4 were damaged, and the seller wanted the entire boxed set back, not just season 4. Its things like this that make people take to the high seas!!

The twins and I have been watching Bones together. Not always the most kid friendly show, but they're preteens now (dear Lord I'm getting old!) and they know when something might be too much for them, so they'll walk away.
I'm, also watching Criminal Minds - sans kids (man that show is intense! Sometimes I have to walk away.)
Plus, I just started watching Numb3rs. I've watched the first season before, with my husband, but we drifted away from it, so I want to give it another go.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

We started watching S1 on Arrow recently. I never followed that comic, so it's all new to me - except in the way it's totally like a different version of Batman.

The only problem is that it's a CW show, so there's all this relationship angst/drama that I'm like, "Can we just go back to the blowing shit up parts?"

Thats always the problem with CW shows! LOL

Yeah, that's why I tend to avoid them. But I ended up actually really liking Supernatural, and I'd heard really good things about Arrow... so here I am.

[Nyssa]

I did enjoy the first season of Arrow.
I may get back to it eventually.

I've only seen a handful of episodes of Supernatural.

Agreed

[Ala]

Arrow goes less teeny drama angst and more towards ass kicking in the 2nd season, I think. And this season will be some crossover with Flash, so I'm looking forward to that.

Also, I loved Numb3rs. I miss that show.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Yeah, we're on ep.10 in season 2 and yesterday I said to Jer that the show's getting a lot better. Now, if they could just get rid of Laurel's character entirely, that would be great. ;D

[Laurel]

Anyone excited for the premiere of Gotham tonight? The actor they!'be cast to play the Penguin looks like he was born to play the role!

I hope the positive reviews from critics aren't just a collective wish that it's good, I WANT it to live up to the hype...

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

I know J (my husband) is excited.. He's been tracking the premiere date on our calender for weeks and makes me quickly change the channel whenever a preview for it comes on. He doesn't want to spoil any of the viewing experience.

I'm not particularly excited myself, but I'm going to give it a shot. If I don't like it, it'll just be another show that I read a book during while he watches. Can't hate on extra reading time!

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I feel like I ought to be, but I'm not. I just can't really understand the point of Batman-without-Batman. But I'm willing to be swayed by good word of mouth and do the catch-up thing later on.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

That's sort of how I felt about it.

[Laurel]

@ Dawn,

I read for most of my boyfriend's TV shows. Great minds think alike!

@ Colleen,

I don't know if this will help, but I saw an interview with Donal Logue addressing people's concern that Batman wouldn't be in the show. He said we have Batman, he's a kid standing in the rain down some back alley, grieving for the loss of his parents. He went on to argue that the reason people should give the show a try is that it's about the slow burn, the build for each of these characters, including Alfred and Batman. I love character driven stories, so I must say, I'm intruiged!

Anyway, I hope you end up liking it. I want quality genre movies and television to have continued success. More good stuff for us!

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Pass. I'm still suffering from severe comic hero to film burnout.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Next year they'll do Metropolis about Louis Lane growing up.

*snicker*

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Watching Big Bang...picture still holding.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Is anyone watching 'Galavant'?

When I first saw the trailer I thought it was a full season and was like, "No way will that work", but then I found out it's a limited run thing and gave it a chance.

I've been enjoying it. It's funny and cheesy and doesn't outstay its welcome with 20 minute episodes.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I saw the opening, may keep up on On Demand.

Grimm is back tonight, they left us with like 3 cliffhangers. They love cliffhangers...I hate cliffhangers.

[Laurel]

I gave up on Grimm, (sadly), a year or two ago. I can't take the whiney, save me, girlfriend. Were she killed off (and yes, I realize I'm advocating for less female characters), I'd consider watching it again. She is the worst!

Rant over :)

On the other hand, Agent Carter is phenomenal!

(oh, and ditto on cliffhangers. Walking Dead is terrible for them!)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Ohhh...that's changed, a lot. (view spoiler)[Now Juliet packs a gun and was in on a protection detail. last season they intro'd a young woman Grimm. Sounds like you stopped watching before Juliet got clued in. I was getting a bit tired of her but they got past that. (hide spoiler)]

I love the show, my favorite that's on now. I'd suggest you give it another shot if you want.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

That bit had Jeremy in stitches. One of the songs had me snorting, but I don't remember which one. :(

I heard that if you watch it on OnDemand it includes musical commercials? I've started streaming most shows I miss thru various websites...

[Paul]

Has anyone watched the pilot of Man in the High Castle? From what I've seen it looks really good (the title sequence just creeps me out!) but I don't have Amazon Prime so I haven't see the actual show.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Nope. I only just heard about it from the SFF group the other day.

[Kat]

I just started watching Supernatural. A few episodes in on the first season. I have A LOT of catching up to do.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

I binge watched Tyrant last weekend. Very good show, though not entirely realistic as a representative of a Middle Eastern country. I enjoyed it though.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I love Supernatural. I just got into it when it was on its 9th season. It binges pretty quickly.

***

Grimm has gotten better since (view spoiler)[they brought Juliet in, though she was still a bit annoying start of this season. Thank gods they finally brought poor Wu in. (hide spoiler)]

[Laurel]

My friend and I were out for a walk last night. (It's like spring in January here in Winterpeg! Sadly, cold weather is on the way). We got onto the topic of our top 5 shows currently airing, (if we had to pare down the PVR). She insisted she needed a top ten...

It made me think of you all. Anyone interested in sharing?

Mine would be Sherlock, Gotham, Orphan Black, Walking Dead, and even though it's new, I think Agent Carter. I'm in love!

What are yours?

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead
True Detective
Fargo
Longmire

Yes, I included Longmire because I read that Netflix is picking it up and will air Season 4 this summer. Means I have to get Netflix.

And yes, I have to give an honorable mention to my favorite reality show: Survivor.

[Laurel]

Chris, my Dad is getting Netflix for the same reason. He asks me every so often to look up if a release date has been announced ;)

My fave reality show is Face Off!

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Top 5... Hmm.. I'm a sitcom kind of girl...

New Girl
Marry Me
Parks and Recreation
Blackish
Parenthood (only 2 episodes left to watch though, boo!)

[Mitch]

Just finished Marco Polo on Netflix... I really enjoyed it.. Also finished American Horror Story Freakshow.. It was alright , but my least favorite so far.. The wife and I started AHS Coven last night .. It is the only season I haven't watched yet...

[Laurel]

Ooh! I heard Marco Polo was good!

[Laurel]

Nothing wrong with historical dramas. I have a few friends who are threatening to disown me if I don't get to Vikings and Game of Thrones soon.

They've been promoting The Americans quite a bit lately - is it coming back after a hiatus?

[Laurel]

Oh, I hope you enjoy it! Nice dinner, glass of wine, settle in to (one of ) your favourite shows :)

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Apparently it already aired, at like 2 am EST this morning.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

It's gotta be bad if they're being so secretive about it...

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Top 5, of those currently airing:

Supernatural
Arrow
Flash
Elementary


I can't decide on a 5th. Maybe Agent Carter or Justified.

[Laurel]

(Crosses fingers for Agent Carter...)

May I ask, is this the final season for Justified? I've been told it's amazing.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Yes, this is the final season... so if I really had to pick, it's stay on my DVR over Carter, 'cause Carter I'd just wait for Netflix, but I've watched Justified faithfully from the start, so I want to be with it 'til the end.

[Laurel]

I'll have to give it a try.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

It's a cool show. Like everything it has it's ups and downs, but Raylan is just effing cool.

We actually sort of started watching it just 'cause it was set in Kentucky, which is were hubby is from. He finds it surreal to watch places that are supposed to be in Kentucky, and point out which ones really are and which ones are all wrong.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Jer says it's "Pretty accurate, although with some "embellishments" as to the rustic nature of some places.

Like Lexington."


Apparently none of it is actually filmed in Kentucky, though, with a lot of the outside sets shot in Pennsylvania. But there's a reason they call the areas outside of the cities 'Pennsyltucky'.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

He does comment on the accents a lot, which are sort of all over the place. One episode recently he was like, "Wow, that guy actually almost has a Kentucky accent!"

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I want Raylan, damnit. ;)
