[quote=tryfuhl;707767]never have

didn't like Lost though

I try to keep it simple nowadays and just watch whatever I like on demand.. cooking shows.. two and a half men, that's about it

I can't really be bothered to get into the ones that continue too much to make it unenjoyable if you miss an episode[/quote]

Well, that's what the DVR is for. I watch(ed) Lost, 24, Friday Night Lights, The Office, Family Guy, Top Chef, How I Met Your Mother, Entourage, Hung, and Curb Your Enthusiasm to name a few, but I almost never watch any of them live. Thanks to DVR I never miss an episdoe. Just set that bad boy to "record all new episodes" and I'm golden.

I'm getting into AMC's "Mad Men." Really impressive shows on AMC.

How far along are you? I got into that show last year, and I think it's probably the best show on TV. The story lines and the acting are great; and I love how episodes don't wrap up nicely

As for the other AMC show, I think this last season of Breaking Bad (season 3) was some of the best TV I've ever seen. The acting and the writing were unbelievably good. The plot twists and character developments have been amazing. I can't believe it took so long but AMC confirmed that there will be a 4th season last week so it will be really interesting to see where they go with the story.

Holy crap that's a lot of shows haha

I need to pick back up on Entourage.. I stopped watching somewhere very near the end of season 5.. great show

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I pretty much do the same thing though, except more with OnDemand than DVR since our only DVR unit has only a single tuner and I just chip in a bit on the bill

either that or I download the ep's

Damn, along the lines of you asking people how they find the time for video games I don't get how you find the time for all this TV. LOL

But again, it's all about how you prioritize your leisure time.

The only shows I watch week in and week out are Parks and Rec, The Office, 30 Rock, and Real Time with Bill Maher. Other than that I catch shows here and there in re-runs.

Well, new seasons of those shows aren't all on at the same time of the year, so it's not like I'm watching 10 new episodes a week. The DVR helps too. You can FF through commericals, so an hour show becomes 40 mins, and a half hour show becomes 20.

So what's everyone's take on the upcoming season in Madmen? or should we wait for this discussion until saden catches up?

As for Breaking Bad, I caught a couple of shows and liked them. I may have to go back and rent the first two seasons. Part of the problem is that, unless my wife likes a show, it's kinda of hard to find time to watch anything on my own (After getting the kids to bed, its 8:00 - 9:00 and there is generally still work to do). I am not sure Breaking Bad is her thing, but I see if season one is out and try to coax her into it. As long as it doesn't start w/ blood & gore she may get hooked.

I watched the first episode of Breaking Bad and really liked it, didn't really watch it again until I caught a couple of episodes on demand last week. Enjoyed it, but definitely need to go back and watch older episodes.

But I'm in the same boat as you, usually easier to watch shows that both my wife and I like. Not sure Breaking Bad would make her cut. She saw a couple of episodes of The Tudors on the plane though, and kind of wants to see that series.

The first season, while a bit slow at times, was only like 6 or 7 episodes because of the writers strike but it sets up the story. The writers have also been very good about bringing up little references to past events. Also, season 1 ends with a cliffhanger which is where season 2 picks up. In fact, I think the timeline between all three seasons is within a year or so.

Yeah great show, I was bummed when it got canceled. I was hoping they would start it back up again when Green picked it up but I haven't heard any news about it.

My wife and I are history buffs and she particularly loves the Elizabethan/Tudor time period so she was psyched when she first saw the premiers. We watched a couple and, well, let's just say, for the episodes we watched, the history was less than an accurate portrayal. It was pretty much - let's play fast and loose with history so we can have our next soft core porn moment.

Not something [I]I[/I] to which I objected, but my wife just found it annoying.

As to Breaking Bad, I'll probably end up getting the first two seasons on DVD and watch them over time.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

This is a +infinity for Breaking Bad- kudos to some of you who watched a few episodes here and there to test it out... but like The Wire, you've gotta start from the beginning. No turn is unaccounted for during the series and the writing is the best on current television.

Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are two of the most complex characters ever. And you'll love the side characters (Saul and the cleaner, come to mind).

Did you watch it from the get go? The first two seasons had a lot more football in it. As time progressed, it allowed for more leeway to draw out other characters.

Regardless, I think this season is by far the best.

Actually, we never watched it before. I recall it being on some time ago, but never considered it back then. However, I sense it may have been a good watch. That being said, please enlighten me on this show’s past (i.e.- are the character’s the same, etc.).
