What was the last TV show you watched?

[Ernest P Shackleton]

Finished watching season 3 of "Ray Donovan". The acting is uniformly great, Liv Schreiber and Jon Voight are superb. The writing and plot line is cringe worthy in spots but overall pretty good TV

I'd go there. I'm kind of surprised how little talk it gets. Not only because of the above average quality, but it also hits on several pockets of interest. Not enough nudity or gore?

*the critics appear to like it, and it does keep getting renewed. Someone is watching. There are enjoyable stories that aren't ultimately worth discussing.

Bears VS Raiders game. The Bears won, but just barely (49 yard field goal with 2 second left afterwards). Way too close for my tastes.

Apparently there will be a season 4 so it must have an audience. The difficulty is keeping the story line moving without it crossing the "stupid"or groaner threshold.

If Kurt Sutter can stay employed, anything is possible. He wrote the worst show maybe ever to disgrace TV, and he got seven seasons out of it and a 2nd series on top of that!

Happily watched the Niners lose to the Packers.

Nova: Arctic Ghost Ship. An astonishing find in the Franklin expedition mystery! Who says there isn't any good TV any more? Truth really is stranger then fiction. [video=youtube;OiUJO9OhQBU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiUJO9OhQBU[/video]

Yesterday, while folding laundry, I got sucked into a few episodes of Mahattan. It's an interesting and entertaining drama but I don't think it'll be anything I'll pursue. There are lot of anachronisms, especially with the background people, that are distracting and simply ruin the vibe for me. I'd rather read a book about the real thing.

 

[AmateisGal]

I thought it was one of the best episodes of the series so far. I'm hoping they'll be able to maintain that level of quality.

Agreed! I hope they can, too. Last season was a little "off" to me - definitely not as good as the first season.

Gotham

"The Leftovers" - Why do I do this to myself? Take the "WTF" factor of "Lost" and crank it to 11!

I'm quite angry with whomever's making the decisions on Gotham this season after last night's episode. :rage:

American Experience: Walt Disney pt.1

Is it really necessary for this to be 2x2 hours? I think not. (I could say the same for Ken Burns, and I love Ken Burns). Maybe I'm not a big enough Disney fan. I'm not sorry I watched it, but I'm dreading another two hours in pt.2.

We have only seen episode one this season and already I am worried.

Fear the Walking Dead
Six episodes equals a season? They must've been worried it would tank.
Now, the waiting begins.

It's f'ing backstory! A mini-season is plenty to build a backstory. The end. Build another franchise rather than milk the ones you got. To have the hopes it would be its own, potentially never-ending series is ridiculous. Same goes for Better Call Saul. It's one thing to build off a series going forward (not something I appreciate either), but to prelude a successful series is a recipe for the ungood. It begs the question: if it was so damn important to the story, then why weren't similar episodes where we started in the first place. Suck the blood of the audience for a half or full season, but then be done. We know where we're head. Between here and there is nothing but quicksand. Are we going to narrowly escape it, or are we going to drown in it? More than a season, and we're drowning in the muck. It's not worth compromising the integrity of it all.

All I will say, then, is don't get over attached to any certain villains. :wacko:

Bitchin' Rides
A 1959 Buick Invicta

The people annoy me, but the car makes it
kind of worth watching.

Hmmmnn...now ya gots me wonderin' what's up.

The first season of The Walking Dead was only six episodes. Apparently, they like to test the waters before they commit to diving in.

 

[Fading Fast]

Episode 2, Season 2, "Blacklist" Still very well done / very enjoyable. James Spader found his role.
