Yeah I think you are right, and didn't she bring an annoying kid onto the show with her?

[Stennick]

To be fair Hulk is not annoying and he's hardly a kid lay off of Dixie

Dixie is awesome. I loved her in Designing women.

Did anyone watch Basketball wives?

 

I can't help but laugh. First of all only one is actually married and he is retired. Everyone else is either not married, never been married, or divorced. They fight and well honestly it was just funny to watch one episode of it.

I started to watch. I hate shows like that so I turned it off.

The kid's name was Sam. Little red-headed moppet. Didn't do too badly for himself at first post Diff'rent Strokes. He later went on to be the bully character on Salute Your Shorts and be the voice of Montana Max on Tiny toon Adventures. Haven't heard anything of him in a while though.

Wait a minute. Little sam turned into Bobby Budnick?

Yep. Sure did. Blew my mind first time I saw the opening credits and made the connection.

I like Chuck as well, with Yvonne Strahovski in the cast what is there not to like?

 

I actually like the secondary cast a lot, Jeffster, Ellie, Big Mike to me they make the show just as much as the main cast does. All though I would love to see Anna come back for more episodes.

Did anyone watch Dead Like Me? I just got done watching both seasons on Netflix and WOW! why did this show get canceled? Great writing, interesting plot, great character development, good casting, and just over all a fun show.

 

I haven't watched the movie yet, mainly because I read that Rube isn't in it and I'm kinda hesitant about watching it without him, but I'll get around to it.

Yes, and the weird thing is I never realized that Mason was the same guy that played Zod on Smallville. What was also amazing about the show was they managed to keep Mandy Patinkin (Rube) throughout the entire run of the show. I mean he does not have the best track record of staying on shows for any length (Chicago Hope and Criminal Minds). So that in and of itself should say a lot about the quality of the show because he is a very good actor in my opinion.

 

The movie was on the SCI FI channel a few months back and it was nothing to write home about. In fact even though I watched it, if you were to ask me what happened in the movie, I would not be able to tell you. That is how much of an impression the movie left on me.

Yes Yvonne Strahovski is so hot! and how can anyone not like Jeffster!

[bestbitter]

Shows I'm watching at the moment: Sons of Anarchy, Supernatural Season 4, True Blood, Spartacus. Favourite shows from the past: The Sopranos, 24, The Wire (only watched the first two seasons but brilliant so far). Have also just purchased Deadwood which I cannot wait to see after playing Red Dead Redemption:D

<p>Me and my brother keep a list of our favorite 15 shows that are TV. We update it way too often. This seems like an appropriate place to post it.</p><p> </p><p>

1) Community</p><p>

3) Dexter</p><p>

4) Burn Notice</p><p>

5) Breaking Bad</p><p>

Party Down just recently dropped out of that list after being cancelled...24 was always in there but it was mostly just a nostalgia thing. Same can be said with The Office, 30 Rock, and House - which I think are only shows still making new episodes that I had on this list at some point that just got too bad to keep them there.</p>

[CQI13]

<p>I just watch:</p><p> </p><p>

Survivor</p><p> </p><p>

On DVD:</p><p> </p><p>

House</p><p>

[Self]

<p>I really dug Gilmore Girls (and I'm all man!) although I did sorta give up half-a-season from the end. Got distracted, missed an episode and never returned.</p><p> </p><p>

Pretty good list, randomfreeze. I could never get into Caprica after the awful time I had watching Battlestar (it was like an all-heel battle royal. No one to root for) but Archer is AWESOME. I watched the pilot for that and laughed harder than I had in a long, long time. Really shocked me that I could be that happy, quite frankly.</p>

"Broken", the first episode from this past season, was so good. He was the only principle character in it and it was probably the best episode of the series. I think I'd enjoy the show again if they completely removed the hospital aspect from it. The interaction with his team and solving mysteries doesn't do it for me anymore, but I love Laurie. Hope he gets his Emmy before the series ends.</p>

[TheEdgeOfReason]

Anybody watch Special 1 TV/ You're On Setanta Sports? Just an awesome show, hope they bring it back properly. BBC butchered it pretty badly though.

[randomfreeze]

I watch very little television. I do watch Pretty little liars though. It's one of the 3-4 shows I actually keep up with on a regular basis.

 

Sorry to burn your show, I thought Pretty Little Liars was a safe one to reference as not my favorite show . It's not really going after my demographic anyways.

 

Did anybody catch Louie? They premiered the first two episodes last week on FX. It's pretty dirty for a cable show, and Louis C.K. is a funny self deprecating guy. As long as you can laugh along at his misfortunes and not feel sorry for him, it's enjoyable. I think the next one is on in about a half hour if you are interested in checking it out.
