I tried against my better judgement to watch the reboot of Dr. Who.
I sat through five episodes. Absolutely horrendous.
I could never get past the effects as a kid to watch whatever was on PBS back then, but I tried to like this, as so many seemingly smart people like this.
Gotta chalk folks enjoyment of this up there with LotR, Star Trek and the like.
And listen people, I watched all 10 seasons or whatever of Stargate SG-1 and this was in spite of the fact I was never sure if I even like it.
Dr. Who is terrible. If I watched a few seasons, I could prove it I am sure as this is no matter of opinion but simple fact.
Garbage.
Clear?
And I like mine sort of garbage, just don't tell me this is good programming.
I'll just point out that the sixth episode is probably the first good on since the relanuch. If you'd just held on a bit longer... |

Yeah, Torchwood is sort of the darker, sexier spinoff. It combines all the camp of Doctor Who with a cast of more morally ambiguous attractive characters, all of whom are bisexual. Lots more sex, lots more violence, lots more stupidity.

Thank you. I grew up loving the old series. Re-watching the classic stuff, it's far from perfect, but the new show has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I resent that liking Doctor Who now puts me in the same camp as the half-wit enthusiasts of the new Doctor Who. It's horrible. And no, it does not get better after the fifth, sixth, or thirtieth episode. Believe me, because I stuck with the show as long as I could, beyond all reason. Until recently, I would sit through any slop as long as the name "Doctor Who" was appended to it... thank you, new show, for curing me of that. |

Pie in the Sky just started on the local PBS channels. It's a British detective series with Richard Griffiths (may he rest in Peace) as a very good police detective who really wants to cook and run his own restaurant upon retirement. But his boss won't let him completely leave the force because he's the one who has been solving things for decades and making the chief look good. It has some light touches and some clever detecting from what I've seen so far. I prefer mystery/detective programs that aren't grim-dark and gruesome (Yes, Wallender I'm looking at you).
Richard Griffiths played Uncle Vernon in the "Harry Potter" movies He was really quite good as an actor and it's nice to see him as a nice, intelligent character with a sense of humour (and in that role a steak and kidney pie recipe that rocks).

Micro Monsters. Totally not my kind of nature documentary, but eerily compelling. I blame it on Dave A's voice. My son, currently very much enjoying a long-term minibeast project at school, is loving it.

Regarding: Bones
The thing is, when it comes to understanding the subtleties and unspoken implications and social cues of other (especially primitive-exotic) cultures she seems to do just fine. It's only in the context that she should understand best that she stumbles. For example, she could write a dissertation about all the intricacies and complexity of the mating rituals of the bushmen of nowhereland Africa, yet in her own life she doesn't understand why using one man for sex and one for intellectual conversation, without bothering to tell either of them what their roles are in her mind, might be offensive to both men.
Also, Booth became a real *ss after Bones got pregnant. I realize he wants to "protect her" (as though she can't do that herself?), but he treats her like some brittle child in some of the more recent episodes. BTFU.

DRUKEN HISTORY !!!
Anyone seen this? It was on netflix and now on Comedy Central.
The diretor finds someone who has an interest in a particular historical event...Like Gettysburg or the Chicago Riots..whatever. They get him very very drunk. He then narrates the story and actors mouth the drunken words of the drunk narrator.. They also cut to him throwing up or falling down on occasion..
High Art... OMG

Sunday nights in season: 'Mad Men'.
Most mornings and late nights: Investigation Discovery (ID)'s true crime.
Other favorites, in the reality genre: Animal Planet's 'My Cat from Hell' (Jackson Galaxy, cat behaviorist) and Fox's 'Kitchen Nightmares'. But I wanted to deport Gordon Ramsay after he ripped up Capri, a restaurant nearly intact from 1963, booths and all, that just needed cleaning, turning it into one of his foo-foo places.

I've watched it, out of curiosity (too many Cumberbitches for comfort around here). I'd enjoy it more if I didn't find Cumberbatch terminally annoying.

That was one of my favorite Burn Notice episodes of the entire series this past Thursday. And I like the series enough to have 5 of the seasons on DVD. Admittedly it'd not be a good one for those who don't care much about the back story and just want a story-of-the-week thing with lots of explosions and car chases. And it'd also not a good intro to the show. But for me... man was that great.

My friends and I have been playing the Game of Thrones board game. I was looking for any advantage in that game so I finally succumbed and have watched the first two seasons of Game of Thrones. And it's a lot better than what I thought it would be. I must read the books, too.
I also continue to watch Falling Skies, which is really starting to disappoint me. Last week's episode has been done so many times before on Star Trek. It's becoming more and more derivative week after week and it seems that the writers don't have material before the big season finale so they're making filler episodes as often as they can get away with it.
As for comedy, I'm still watching religiously Big Bang Theory.

There's a lot left out in the show, which makes absolute sense because there's no compressing a thousand pages into ten episodes (and there are elements that would never be allowed on mainstream TV, like underage sex), so the show and game haven't spoilered it too badly for you. |

Anyone here watches Sherlock?
I enjoyed many of the little touches and references to the original stories, sometimes reworked for the present such as the "three patch problem". They worked in Dr. Watson's injury from Afghanistan quite well and I think that Martin Freemansmar does an very good characterization. Having quite enjoyed Jeremy Brett's portrayal of the Great Detective, who seemed to be a person possibly in the Autism-Asperger's Spectrum with such behaviours as turning on a smile like a "programmed' response that other people expect, I think that B.C.'s Sherlock is also quite interesting. And just as the written Sherlock Holmes was a relatively young man who used the latest science/technology of Victorian England, this version uses smart phones and the internet, too. I'm looking forward to finding out just how he didn't end up dead after falling off of the building. As a side note, I've only seen a couple of clips but I want to see all of B.C.'s film in which he plays a young Stephen Hawking. He must have studied persons with motor neuron disease to get such small details has holding chalk in a crude grip and walking with canes. |

Right now I'm converting the whole FunnyBones series (all 12 episodes, downloaded from YouTube) into avi files, so that our TV can play them. My son is a big fan of the books, so I bet he's going to enjoy the cartoons as well.

Has anyone mentioned "Naked and Afraid" yet..
They put two trained survival experts, one man and one women into a remote area.. Naked.
Different pair different place each week
lack of shoes seems to be the biggest obstacle.
