Now that it's September I am looking forward to some Fall premieres!! Among my list are The Vampire Diaries, Psych, How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, Bones, Dexter, Criminal Minds and I am curious and intrigued about a new show on FX called American Horror Story, and I will probably watch The Finder as well whenever that premieres because I really liked that episode of Bones and I like Geoff Stults. I watch too much tv and I manage to do it without a DVR lol

They have done a damn good job of keeping what this show is about under wraps...

SOA is going to be good this season. Haven't watched it yet, but the series finale of Rescue Me I'm afraid will have me in tears.

SOA is so addicting. I just watched all 3 seasons about 2 weeks ago. I'm really excited for this season.

For those of you that watched spartacus and hoped he would make a comeback Andy Whitfield, succumbed to lymphoma.

yeah seen that this morning, jesus that sucks, **** cancer

 

[MassHavoc]

Figured I might as well dig the one up again too...



Been watchign Strikeback on Skin... Cinemax. I think it sucks that HBO bought Cinemax but they are keeping it separate, I don't know much about the deal, but Cinemax is the one premium I don't own, of the big three. If it was rolled into HBO and I got it for free with my HBO that would be awesome... .anywho...



Strikeback is pretty good, but not so sure how realistic it is to have these British Intelligence guys employing a america to have free reign to do whatever they want anywhere in the world... then again...



Big thumbs up to the Ser Jorah (Game of throwns) appearance in the last episode, along with the next episode. If you have it, watch it.

Strikeback started great, the first two episodes were awesome. Since then I've been a bit bored with the show. And thank god the blonde is dead, her eyebrows being very dark and having blonde hair was driving me insane.

Glad she is dead too, and while I like the boobie factor, the stick of the American fucking some chick every episode is getting tired. This last episode wasnt' that great but I think it's becuase the next one is going to be much better. The first couple were very good.

Nailing a chick every episode, on the brink of death every other episode. *snore*



Though I want to see the colonels boobs and the first chick in the hotel he shags was hot. The rest were very meh.



So far for me the show is a bit of a disappointment after an excellent start that had me addicted.

For the record Liz Hurley is british and I would love to get randy with her

I love Whitney Cummings stand-up and I'm happy she's finding some commercial success... but man, I feel like every time a Network (or 2 in this case) gets their claws in someone who is funny... they ruin them. "Whitney" just seems like such a bland sitcom and "2 Broke Girls" wasn't awful, but I feel like it's a waste of her talents.



I missed "Person of Interest" last night - anyone catch it? Is it worth checking out?

Boardwalk Empire starts back on Sunday!

I feel the same way about Whitney, I loved her on the roasts and such, but they seemed to have dumbed down her comedy for TV to try to make her appeal to the masses. They've playing the V card and trying to make her a hot chick that is funny instead of a funny chick who is hot. (I don't think she's the hotest but well you know.) It's like they are trying to make her the next Chelsey Handler (Who drives me fucking nuts with her tired act). That show just seems tired and unimaginative full of the same stale oblivious hot girl jokes.



I love Zoey but I fear they did the same thing to her in "The New Girl" probably won't watch that either, except I think it is from the same people as How I met your Mother? So it might have a chance.



Don't know what 2 broke girls is?



Person of Interest seems like it could be good but haven't seen it. There is just something about the production of it that CBS does that I don't like, they do it with other shows like Numbers, CSI, Criminal Minds, that sort of slow dark gritty... cookie cutter BS. Criminal Minds is the only show of the bunch that I can watch. It's amazing.



And I AM PUMPED for new Boardwalk.

Completely agree regarding the hot chick who's funny vs. funny hot chick. And actually, I think Whitney owes her exposure to Chelsea, as I believe she's been a regular on Chelsea Handler... (I could be wrong about that).



The New Girl was also kind of "meh." I think it has a little potential, but it reminds me a little too much of "Happy Endings" (which also stars Damon Wayans, Jr.) and is a far superior show in my humble opinion. My biggest fear is that Fox won't give it the time it's going to need to really find it's feet and the development of the assumed/implied relationship between her and the one of the roommates which, if done properly could really make the show more interesting.



2 Broke Girls is the new sitcom with Kat Dennings about the poor girl and rich, Paris Hilton type of girl who (through some convoluted reasons involving the rich girl's Dad being embroiled in a ponzi-scheme) happen to find themselves working together at a shitty diner in the Bronx. Whitney Cummings developed the show for CBS. Another one that might have some potential, if they take it out of the "live-audience" laugh-track format and stop getting so damn predictable.



I will give CBS some credit, while I don't care for Two and a Half Men, I think they did a great job with just how they replaced Charlie Sheen... even if Ashton Kutcher is just playing an older version of Kelso.



With Person of Interest, had the dudes from Lost not been behind it and Jesus and Ben Linus in it - I don't think it would even interest me. Really hoping they put this on On Demand so I can catch the first ep.



Never got into Boardwalk, more because I never caught it early on. I hear good things, but have so many other things I'd like to watch.

 

[MassHavoc]

Yeah Whitney did her show a lot, and I feel like that's caused a piss-poor association of people wanting to make her into Chelsey and I think she's very different in that she knows how to make more than Racial jokes.



2 Broke Girls, I remember now. I saw a poster for it at the bus stop. Isn't it Sex in the City: Two Broke Girls. I refuse to watch it even though it has the one actress I like.



I don't like 2 and Half Men, Forgot it even came back, do you know who the story line went for the replacement? I hear they killed him in a car accident?



I'm impartial to jesus the actor but I think he could be good in this role, and I really like Ben Linus, except for some reason he always reminds me of Cousin Larry.



Boardwalk is good, I suggest when you are able to, sit down and watch the whole first season at once. It's one of those shows that is great but is better if you save a few up in a row.

2 Broke Girls is nothing like Sex and the City - it's a straight up sitcom, not a dramedy catering to the ladies.



As for Two and a Half Men SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE INTERESTED AND HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET: The storyline picks up at Charlie's funeral where they actually had most of the big name women who've ever been his ex-girlfriends, (Liz Vassey, Tricia Helfer, Jeri Ryan, Emmanuelle Vaugnier and Jenny McCarthy) and they allude to Charlie and Rose (the crazy, stalker neighbor chick) eloping and running off to Paris. She catches him with other women in their Honeymoon Suite and he later "falls" in front of a metro train (implying Rose may have pushed him). Kutcher's character is trying to kill himself in the ocean outside of Charlie's old home (Alan is preparing to leave with Jake as his mother wants to sell the property) and Alan and "Waldo" end up chatting and going out for drinks and we find out that Waldo created a program that was bought buy Microsoft and made him a billionaire and is having problems with his wife who is leaving him. Alan and Waldo pick up a couple chicks and bring them back to the old house where Waldo ends up spending the night with both of them and in the morning decides he wants to buy the house... that's pretty much the ep.

 

[MassHavoc]

I think I'm smashing shows and rumors togehter for 2 broke girls. There is a new sex and the city prequel coming to CW. DOn't think this is the show though.



Interesting about 2 and a half. It's all very convenient but about as plausible as you would expect. Did they completely close the door on Sheen, as in confirming he's dead and all that, or could there be a guest spot in his long off future? Other than dream sequences.

Y'all watch a lot of TV.
