I watch way too much television.

holt_bruce81 · 08-02-2012, 03:04 PM

Started watching Louie last night on my Netflix! Also, has anyone seen NewsRadio? it was a show in the late 90's, I never heard of it but my friend says it's his all-time favorite show. Is it any good or is my friend on crack?

Maybe I was too young at the time to really appreciate it but I don't remember thinking it was that great.

Nickelback sucks.

Why does AMC have to show Breaking Bad reruns at such a ridiculous hour? I missed last week's episode because of the Olympics so now I have to stay up until 2:00 AM to watch it.

I was a fan of NewsRadio. I liked the cast a lot and it was a genuinely funny show. Now, favorite all time is cracky if you ask me.

I gotta be completely honest with you here: I forgot it was on. I had a really busy Monday and Tuesday and I just forgot. Come over and we shall watch it. You bring the drinks, I'll order some pizzas!

a) good choice on Louie
b) NewsRadio is funny

Some AWESOME Gary quotes this week:

"No, that's what he is! A jerkass! It's good.. he fears me now.."

"No you wouldn't kill me. That would be pre-meditated homicide. You'd go to jail. You'd go to jail!"

"Hicks, I broke your sex code!"

"No! I'll kill you first! I get up at 7:42!"

He is awesome.

newsradio is a good show. joe rogan started there! if you guys ever get a chance, listen to joe rogan's podcasts. some very insightful and funny **** that's completely unfiltered. a lot of behind-the-scenes stories from newsradio come up and they're hilarious.

diabsoule · 08-02-2012, 06:08 PM

NewsRadio was good. Greatest of all time? Or favorite of all time? Not by a long shot. The cast was stellar but the writing could have been a lot better.

Burn Notice:

Do you believe Rebecca? I would like to say No because I like Kristanna Loken.

vidae · 08-02-2012, 10:48 PM

How has Burn Notice been this year? I watched the first episode but I was re-watching The Wire and watching Suits/Newsroom/Breaking Bad etc.

YotoJets007 · 08-02-2012, 11:18 PM

Burn Notice is okay. I am not a fan of Anson and Fi being in prison is not good. This phrase is over so this show should get better.

I like Rebecca because she has remarkable on field skill. If she is not part of next phrase then I have no idea who is up to challenge Mike Westen.

Phil Hartman FTW.

Last season was pretty sucky, but that was pretty much unavoidable.

vidae · 08-03-2012, 12:39 AM

Okay, Suits was incredible tonight. The show just keeps getting better and better. Louis was fantastic.. **** the entire episode was fantastic. The only criticism I have is that we didn't see a lot of Rachel. Other than that, A++++++ episode and they're just getting started.

That may have been my favorite episode of the show yet. Season 2 has been pretty great.

vidae · 08-03-2012, 02:13 AM

The scene with Louis and Harvey in the bathroom was awesome. You can't help but love Louis these days. And yeah I agree. Best of the series. Donna in that sundress? UNFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I would do horrible things to her.

About Louie. I'd be fairly happy suggesting it is the best comedy on television at the moment and one of the best shows period.

I'm watching some of the Childrens Hospital marathon on adult swim and I actually kind of like it. Kind of cheap humor, but still funny. Plus Nick Offerman has a small recurring role, so that alone makes it worth watching.

Damn it. I won't be able to watch White Collar and Suits until Monday.

Suits up this point has been on a new level. It's been excellent and I haven't watched the new one yet.

I'm watching tonight! Despite my initial irritation with White Collar I have been really into it this season. Peter being stuck in Evidence but still working cases is kind of interesting, better than I expected.

Have you guys checked out the White Collar gag reel on Youtube? If not you should, the actor the plays Peter is nothing at all like his character.

As I think we've discussed before, I completely agree about Suits. It is definitely and easily one of my favorite shows on TV right now. Cant' wait to see the new one!!

Also, my wife and I just started watching Breaking Bad last night. We gave it a shot over 3 years ago but the timing was bad since that was right after my first kid was born. I can see why you guys are so into it. I've even been told the first season is slow but I am already hooked.
