gaggle64 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Shit, forgot all about that, when is it repeated? Ah, here we are, 4.30pm Sunday. All I really want is a less cack Torchwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 So I've had a chance to watch a good portion of Spaced and I feel I'm ready to throw a few opinions out there. So the first season - or series being that this is a British show, hurdle was cleared with mixed feelings. Whilst the originality and jokes were there, season one seemed to drift on by never really reaching much of a memorable status. I may have even come out of it slightly disappointed - I don't know. My expectations may have been too high. This vague disappointment was all about to change when season 2 was popped into the Xbox and has literally had me in fits of laughter every episode. Honestly, some of the stuff they're pulling out of their hats this second time around is absolutely hysterical. Unforgettable comedy that really hits the spot. Too bad it's all going to end in a few episodes time, but I'm loving what there's been upto just over the halfway point. Spaced is brilliant. Season 2 especially so.

Cube Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I missed this, but did anyone catch Primeval? Looked kinda interesting. Was surprisingly good, for a TV show. People said it was "ITV's answer to Doctor Who", but it's more like Torchwood (but so far not as good). I'll be watching a few more episodes, to see how they are. It's better than 99.9% of whats on TV now, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've been thinking. New Battlestar Galactica and Life on Mars. Both clearly great shows, and yet I just can't be bothered with them. I'm not being snide, I honestly don't get it. Both of these really should appeal to me more then they do. Good acting, decent script, high production values and yet with both I find myself flipping straight through. Why? Why can't I just enjoy the things?

AshMat Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 This seems the appropraite place, can someone tell me what the Hank Scorpio episode of the simpsons is called? EDIT: Nevermind, a quick google got me the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Boo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I know it's sad but i watch Masterchef every week day @ 6:30. I watch the T.V quite regularly, there are usually some cool series any part of the year, whether its masterchef, david attenborough, top gear or a good gameshow series (not the typical big brother or im a celebrity though).

THE ganondorflol Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 In the past: both versions of Rome. Now: Eastenders. Soon: Doctor Who. PS Primeval is a crap drama which tries to be Doctor Whio but isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Laguna| Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I think that British television is so poor when compared to the American stuff. In this age of downloads, I hardly watch British TV now. Dexter is a really good programme which despite not getting as much hype as the Lost/Prison Break/Heroes types, it is just as good. Oh, and Veronica Mars is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meik Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I just finished the last episode of Sopranos Season 6. Now I have to wait ages for 8 more episodes, and then it's finished for good. In the words of Tony, "mother fucking c**t". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I sincerely hope everyone watched Top Gear. That was easily the best hour of television produced in the last 25 years. Easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I completely forgot about Top Gear It should be on Youtube sometime tomorrow though. Did anyone else see Paul Merton's last ever episode of Room 101 the other night? Easily the best episode i've seen. Any one know who's taking over as presenter?

|Laguna| Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Does anyone here really watch Alias? I just watched the first three episodes, and I'm unsure on it. The pilot is the cheesiest piece of television I've ever seen. Initially it seems incredibly crap, with oh so many cliches, and ridiculously stupid events and unbelievable exaggerated plots, coupled with cringey one liners, but then due to the sheer absurdness of it, it becomes watchable in a so bad it's good kind of way. I just can't believe the guy who made Lost made this. Seem a mile apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Honestly? I think both are equally absurd. Sure Alias is cheesy, but then that's precisely why you watch it. Lost tries to pretend it's something else, and just ends up being absurd for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I was always interested in Alias but never did watch it. That and stuff like Dead Like Me and other programmes. Theres lots of stuff I intend to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Alias rules!! It did take me a while to get into it, but it is really good! The Quentin Tarantino episodes in season 1 is were it really kicks off, and season 2 - 4 rule! Season 5 was very disapoointing tho. Some great twists and cliff-hangers along the way, and Marshall rules, along with Jack Brsitow of course! Which makes me wonder why heroes are always called Jack in some of our most popular TV shows :- Alias - Jack Bristow Lost - Jack Sheperd 24 - Jack Bauer anymore???? And, did anyone catch Supermarket Sweep today? Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm soaps, comedies and sci-fi adventures are owned by Britain, wheras Action/adventure(24), cartoons(simpsons), and documetntries are best done from across the pond me thinks.
