The New Adventures of TV You Like Thread

Gremill's picture

So, the rebirth of the TV discussion thread except with an entirely new cast playing the same characters, who look sort of like the original actors but aren't anywhere near as good.

To keep the mood light, I'll say that last nights Panorama was harrowing in the extreme.

I ploughed further into The Sopranos last night and it's pretty much sealed it as one of, if not, my favourite TV show of all time.

Even though some of the early seasons haven't aged that well Sopranoes is pure excellence. Definetly one of the best TV shows ever made.

The first series of the Sopranos is my favourite TV by far and although its still great it goes down hill afterwards.
Does anybody know how many episodes there are going to be for game of thrones? I want to see some war.

humantarget's picture

Three more episodes of Game Of Thrones.
As for The Stopranos, I've found season 2 to be equally as good as the first. I just hope it stays this way.

I don't like Janice and it focuses way to much on her and her and Tonys relationship for my liking. It's still great, just not as great.
Bummer about Thrones, I was hopping for a longer series as it only really seems to be hitting its stride for me.

There's a couple of turkey episodes in S1. The one where Adriana and Christopher try and get into the music business is cringe tastically unrealistic and cheesey. I whole heartedly love the first series but i think some of its not aged too well.
Right up to series 5 its all great though, it then dips out badly. The series with the Pinewoods episode is probably the strongest for me.

As series go, considering all six seasons, there's surprisingly few duff episodes. The whole of season 6 is fantastic.

Is the pinewoods episode the one where christopher and paulie get lost in the snow? That is one of my favourites.
Sorry about possible spoilers but i've got no white text.

I'm still loving Dr Who. Som exciting stuff last Saturday, eh?
I've decided to start watching Torchwood 'cause it looks badass and has Ian McShane in it.

Guns, drugs, hookers and no pants.

Despite my best efforts I am also loving Dr Who. Matt Smith is genuinely awesome.

Watched all of Bored to Death which was backed up on my Sky+ in preparation of getting rid of Sky and absolutely loved it. Had that quirky edge that you get from films like Royal Tenembaums. Now I'm on BT I'm going to miss out on any further Games of Thrones episodes just as it was getting interesting.

Last episode of House was a bit meh, right?

I enjoyed it. The end was certainly a shock.

It was alright, I enjoyed it, but it had less impact than other end of seasons. I CAN'T POST SPOILERS AS THERE IS NO WHITE TEXT! There is someone not in the next season, so not sure how they are going to play that.

I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts...

Oh yeah, no spoilers, that's going to play havoc with a few threads for a while.

Finally succumbed to watching The Apprentice last night, what an absolute shower of badgers!

Yeah, we essentially can't talk about anything like this :(

Subbax: "Going to start watching Torchwood cos it has Ian McShane in it"?

Surely you mean Deadwood, which is amazing and still the best TV ever made.

Fuck, they'd better get formatting and quotes sorted in this fucking forum soon.

Final episode of House was pretty crap, much like the rest of the series. The only thing holding it together is Hugh Lauries performance and that'll only stretch so far.

deadwood is fantastic, swearingen being one of the best tv badasses of all time and an absolutely hilarious explosion of foul language, lots of people to love and hate in the show

and you folks watch Rome if you havent, right goddamn now, pretty much my fave show ever

I will never watch Rome, out of protest, as that show is the reason HBO cancelled Deadwood.
