You know all this Ron Swanson talk is making me want to start watching that show a little more faitfully

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Days of Thunder's Cole Trickle is loosely based on Tim Richmond. Watched 5 minutes of Outsourced, thought that was 5 minutes too many. The movie was more than enough.

I've been kind of lukewarm on 30 Rock lately too. Modern Family and How I Met Your Mother seem to be the only sitcoms I watch regularly now

Season 1 was kinda slow to develop, but I thought it really hit it's stride in season 2.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

This season, I'm continuing to watch Chuck (fantastic show), Sons of Anarchy, and Law and Order SVU. Although I'm not a HUGE Law and Order fan.

And I'll admit that I do enjoy watching the biggest loser. Kind of keeps me on my toes with my health.

I feel the same way about The Office this season. I can understand now why Carell is leaving. The show doesn't seem to have much left.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I can't wait for The Walking Dead on AMC next week. I've always loved zombie movies and AMC has been cranking out great shows lately (except for The Prisoner). This one looks like it could be creepy as hell.

After you heard he was leaving before the season started, didn't it almost feel like he was going to die when you saw him the first time on the first episode this season?

Maybe it's the anticipation that one of the best TV characters of all time (in my opinion) is going to be gone? I dunno.

Yeah it's like waiting for the inevitable. Hopefully they give him a good sendoff, maybe he'll win Holly back.

[quote=redsk1;750453]Anyone see 30 for 30 about Tim Richmond this week. Very good show. I've heard of the guy, but never knew anything about him. Great driver who like to party (who didn't in their twenties) too much i guess. Drove alot like Dale Sr I guess. Brought back alot of memories about the AIDS scare of the 80's. It's amazing how little info we had back then.

I'm putting two and two together and although they didn't say it, I guess some of Days of Thunder were based on Tim Richmond? Not all, but some similarities.

Anyone else see it?[/quote]

Yes, I thought it was an excellent documentary on the late driver that died young at age 34 of AIDS. I fondly remember watching him drive back in the early-mid 80's and he was second only to Earnhardt Sr. in terms of brashness. Richmond was not the typical "good 'ol boy" from the south, which caused some friction behind the scenes. But, he added some additional excitement to the sport with his flashy personality and made no apologies for being the lady's man (which unfortunately cost him his life). The dude could wheel a race car too and was not afraid to put a bumper on big bad Dale Sr. Miss personalities like that in NASCAR very much. It used to be fun to watch but has now become controlled way too much by corp. America.

Hell yeah. This show is gonna be sick.

Did you catch Rubicon?

[quote=itvnetop;750593]Hell yeah. This show is gonna be sick.

Did you catch Rubicon?[/quote]Yeah, I watched Rubicon. I thought it got pretty good at the end once they started explaining WTF was going on. It lacked a little bit of suspense and I wish the season (series finale?) left me a little more on edge, but I do hope they bring it back for a second season.

If they kill off Micheal it HAS to involve something with his George Foreman grill by the side of his bed.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I want to see The Walking Dead too. Looks like it will be pretty interesting. Zombies are EVERYWHERE now. At least they haven't turned zombies into metrosexual gaybos like they've done with vampires. Vampires used to kill and pimp ho's until they found that one nerdy chick in town who happen to look like some broad they used to date in 1625 or something.

Oh the days of The ORIGINAL Fright Night.

Iwatched Fright night the other day, awesome flick!

Go see Let Me In, very much a real vampire moive.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I thought about giving that one a chance. Before I start let me go to the movies thread.

So uhhhhhh yeah, I'll give The Office a shot after Michael is gone. Granted I'll miss him but I think if they can find a guy to play off Dwight and Jim well all will be fine.

It's been hit or miss. The herpes episode i thought was one of the best. The others...ehh, no so much. Last night was mediocre.

Hey, what if Packer was the replacement for Michael Scott? No one can replace him, but if they are going to continue Packer might fill the seat best.

Yea, I used to watch Nascar a good bit. Since Dale Sr died and w/ the commericalization of racing I can't find the interest or time in it. For god's sake, I've recently wondered why they need 2 hours of prerace talk when the race is 4 hours? WTF? Anyway, just can't get into it like I used to and maybe it's due to the lack of personalities.

Yeah good call on Packer, sounds like he could get pulled off the road with the new guy coming in. Packer is pretty hilarious, not sure if I could take him in large doses though. He would have to tone down the whole a-hole act.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

You know what ?

Packer would be pretty funny. That guy is an F'n trip. He was HIL-ARIOUS in Anchorman and his small part in Talladega Nights.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Packer is definitely a good guess right now, but I have a feeling they're going to keep us guessing all season with possible replacements.

You know the more I think about it, the show does need a shake-up and replacing Michael is certainly the biggest shake-up possible. Granted it's not by their choice, but perhaps a new boss could give some new life to the show.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I read at one point that Harvey Kietel (sp ??) was rumored to join the show. No telling now. I can't watch freaking Gangland all day so I'm gonna give it a shot !

First episode of The Walking Dead was awesome with only slight deviations from the graphic novel. Hopefully finally a consistently good thing to watch on Sundays ;)

I am loving Caprica right now...they should work on perfecting Caprica instead of trotting out another BSG spin-off.

And yeah, this show kinda rocks.

yeah normally all I watch on Sundays is football, Dexter, a random episode here and there of one of the Fox cartoons, and now this. This year I've also been watching Empire Boardwalk and I can't wait for Game of Thrones to start in January.

X2 I loved it! it is really good.

Boardwalk Empire is heating up as well,I enjoy that one as well.

Apparently AMC has cancelled Rubicon

[quote=SmootSmack;757876]Apparently AMC has cancelled Rubicon[/quote]Yeah, I read that too. I'm a little disappointed because while it wasn't the best show out there it was definitely interesting and I felt like it was starting to find it's way. It also sucks that the finale left so many things open. Oh well.

Saw The League, on FX, after Sunny last night. Wasn't too bad.

The Walking Dead it's a pretty good show I don't like Zoombie movies a lot but the formatthis show is done I really like it.

There are a few mistakes like the survivors leaving in tents on the woods instead of at least RV's or a freakign cabin something to keep them safe, or the scene when they put blood on the cloths and say don't touch it and they take their gloves off and touch it, little things like that but pretty good show I enjoy it.

The only thing I didn't like was the typical stuff the guy wakes up the world it's full of zombies and both his wife and son survive, not only that he best friends also survives and it's screwing his wife... This thing has been done 100 times
