If you can remember that far back, what did you think?

Not a bad program, I quite enjoyed it. It didn't hurt that the main actress is pretty damn hot.

Ashley · 24th July 2008, 11:42

Generation Kill is a good take on the invasion of iraq. Centres around the marine recon force. Its not a documentary but rather and actual show. Has Ziggy from the wire (season 2) if you remember him.

MoP · 25th July 2008, 03:07

Yeah, I'm gonna have to 2nd (3rd?) the recommendation on this one, very good

Helious · 25th July 2008, 11:04

Started watching The Wire a few days ago, up to episode 8 of season 1

What a brutal show ;)

A Corpse · 25th July 2008, 12:23

Just a quick note on a couple of shows which have probably been discussed no-end already.

Back of the Y: I watched snippets of this a few years back, didn't see what the fuss was about. Watched almost all of the most recent season, and have come to the conclusion that if this is the current pinnacle of NZ comedy then we're in big trouble. It was infantile, repetitive and in my opinion, completely unfunny. Seriously, poo and wee jokes? The same ones every episode?

The Mighty Boosh: Similarly, I only watched a bit of this a year or two ago and wasn't really impressed, but I've been hooked the last two seasons. So random, but very well done. Kinda reminds me of Monty Python in the kind of out-there humour.

Ajax · 25th July 2008, 13:54

I'm just working my way through season 2 of the Venture Bros.
This is without a doubt one of the funniest shows ever. Brilliant.

Awesome, I envy your position, desperately trying to find a new show since I finished season 5 a few weeks ago.

Ab · 25th July 2008, 14:08

Right now there seems to be only one show that consistently entertains me, every time.

Top Gear.

Haydos · 25th July 2008, 19:59

Looks like they're going to try and end Flashpoint on a tear-jerker family note with every episode.

Kryten · 26th July 2008, 19:03

Harvey Keitel has signed on to play Gene Hunt in the US version of Life on Mars.

It's still going to suck

Haydos · 26th July 2008, 19:05

Penn and Teller Bullshit continues to be entirely fucking great.

They just took another stab at Global Warming.

Wtf you haven't been watching it?! Even with you're superl33t broadband 0-day hookups?

FOR SHAME

Helious · 27th July 2008, 09:17

haha, I kept putting it off + I couldn't really find a good host.

then I kept reading here that people loved it so I thought I better give it a decent shot

up to season 2 episode 5 now!!

ZoSo · 28th July 2008, 23:31

Good to have Mad men back

Solvent · 28th July 2008, 23:46

Damn - Mad Men, Generation Kill and Top Gear out a road and no DSL 'til at least Wednesday. Rude.

Mad Men in 720 this time too, wicked.

Anyone watching The Hollowmen? Worth a watch IMO.

Nightcrawler · 29th July 2008, 00:06

Episode 6 of Top Gear (today's) was awesome

Will miss it until next season!

Brother getting season 5 of The Wire, can't wait!!

On another board I'm on, a former USMC Captain has described it by "this is best video about modern day combat I've ever seen - it gets so many of the not so comfortable details correct".

Will start watching tonight.....

Haydos · 29th July 2008, 10:43

Well basically, the main notion so far is that the Marines are a bunch of racist, xenophobic, politically incorrect shitpigs who have commanding officers that are absolutely incompetent, including one who collects items from dead/dying Iraqis as well as orders his men to shoot at targets that he hasn't identified properly, causing an entire village of women and children to be torn apart by airfire.

So, I'm guessing it's pretty much spot on.

But I'm not a fat guy...

No I haven't seen it yet so was asking if anyone had.

crocos · 29th July 2008, 18:56

Aah, right, it's an Adult Swim thing. I actually didn't know about it and thought you were making a sarcasitc comment, which is why... <yadda, yadda, yadda>

Caesar · 29th July 2008, 19:04

Yeah boieee

Haydos · 30th July 2008, 09:04

So I'd never watched Californication before but wanted something to do tonight with my wife while she recovers from her flu and I recover from my hamstring tear.

Downloaded the full season and we ended up staying up til 1am, watching them all, brilliant show, a mandatory "Must show two pair titties per episode" ruling.

Nightcrawler · 31st July 2008, 17:25

So The Wire pack I downloaded has the final episode of season 5 actually being episode 8, not 10 (the final)

DAMMIT!! Now I have to wait longer to finish

Not far off from most of them from my dealings with them.

crocos · 1st August 2008, 23:46

Just watched S1E1 of The Mighty Boosh. Fuck it's LOL!

Haydos · 8th August 2008, 19:24

lol, Wife will no longer watch Flashpoint on the basis that she has cried in every single episode so far. Don't know who the writers are but they're superb at pulling at emotions.

Burn Notice was superb as usual.

chiQ · 8th August 2008, 21:11

I haven't checked our Flashpoint yet, but Middleman owns me

I'm finding Moonlight kind of interesting too, but I have a feeling I'll be sick of it by the end of the season. There's only so much you can do with vampires, if you're not Joss Whedon.

Helious · 9th August 2008, 19:01

Up to season 4 of The Wire, starting to lose interest tbh.. Will persist though, 16 episodes to go~

Just finished season 3 and was losing interest too....

Solvent · 12th August 2008, 12:39

Losing interest in The Wire, what's wrong with you people? Don't you get into your reality shows Helious? How can you watch that garbage yet get bored with The Wire!

Azmodan · 12th August 2008, 12:58

Agreed, what the hell. I bloody loved seasons 4+5, the only thing overshadowing it for me was that there'd be none left to watch soon

fixup!

edit-to contribute, I'm currently watching Ourageous Fortune and Arrested Development, loving the shit outta both

Helious · 12th August 2008, 13:36

season 4 is pretty political and it has that ex-cop as a teacher now, yawn fest

1,2,3 were all good, with avon/stringer
