Underestimating Middle-America Since 1950: Television Test Thread

[Reply #80 on:]

So people never win?  And if they miraculously did, there would be no prize?

So the incentive to appear is....what again?  Knowing that you are bound to lose and get laughed at by thousands of people?

[Reply #81 on:]

As far as my understanding goes, it's not a formal game show where you are trying to win or lose. The people who play are all normally very funny people, and they all play the game together and have fun and make jokes. It's more of a comedy show than a game show.

[Reply #82 on:]

Yeah, it's comedians who're the panelists and one guy/woman does win every show, sometimes with negative points.

Hey it's Celebrity Jeopardy.

(Sean Connery voice) Suck it Trebek!

[Reply #84 on:]

No.  Not in any way like Jeopardy.

[Reply #85 on:]

Not one bit like Jeopardy... just watch an episode or two on youtube...

Anyone watching Terriers?

This weeks episode was tense!

[Reply #89 on:]

Is that all you do? Watch tv shows?

[Reply #90 on:]

...

And I post on the internet.

also, a full-time job.

[Reply #91 on:]

Australia has 29 hour days?

[Reply #92 on:]

I stopped sleeping.

EDIT: Anywho, no to watch Boardwalk Empire, Grandma's House and Rake.

[Reply #93 on:]

They need to make a show called House's Grandma, about a old woman who solves medical mysteries in an old folks home, then she dies after 1 ones season.
No they don't!

So is Terriers funny chay?

New Bored to Death episode was good:
"So tell me again what happened, from the beginning, as a detective I need all the details... also I'm a little stoned"

[Reply #94 on:]

Terriers is funny, but it's not a comedy. It's by the guy who did the shield, but it's a lot more light hearted than that. You should have a look at the first episode. It's good!

[Reply #95 on:]

AUSTRALIANS!

Rake. Watch it. Good series.

Non-Australians. You might be able to watch it too, not sure if our TV sites block other countries.

[Reply #96 on:]

all right, we got Conan back

[Reply #97 on:]

surely he has a thread...

anyway, show was good. Shame the guests weren't stronger; seth rogan is fine and all, but the interview just wasn't that strong. Show was still great though; hope the ratings are strong.

[Reply #98 on:]

surely he has a thread...

He does have a thread, and don't call me Shirley

I was calling you surly, actually, it was just a typo.

[Reply #100 on:]

"Hey, Surly only looks out for one guy ... Surly!"

[Reply #101 on:]

Fuck you World. Rubicon was not renewed.

[Reply #102 on:]

At least we'll always have Breaking Bad

[Reply #103 on:]

Terriers was great this week, it continues to flop between procedural and long arcs, it's also great at mixing all it's arcs together.

Also, Misfits season 2 started. Really liked it. You should all go and watch season 1!

[Reply #104 on:]

Is there a thread for Archer? That show is awesome. Second season coming early in 2011.

[Reply #105 on:]

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants!

I can't wait for more Archer episodes. Let's re-watch what we've got over again. I need to get out of the X-Files-sending-me-to-sleep thing. It's not because I'm bored, I think I'm just too relaxed. Stupid memory trigger. It's that, or I've been drugged.

[Reply #106 on:]

C'mon. Everything sends you to sleep.

[Reply #107 on:]

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants!

You can't handle the ants!!

Wait...

Anyway, Californication season 4 promo is tooo earlyyyyyyyyyy!

[Reply #108 on:]

Might have asked about this before, but has anyone watched Misfits?

Want to discuss Simon.

[Reply #109 on:]

I don't have time to watch every damn show that comes out chay

[Reply #110 on:]

Second last episode of Terriers. Jesus. I'm feeling ill.

[Reply #111 on:]

Scifi channel is now running "Space Precinct."

...

That they actually made 24 episodes of this is hard enough to believe. That the creator was proud enough of it enough to put his name in the title I can't actually accept; I will instead believe some other person put the name gerry anderson on the show as misdirection.

[Reply #112 on:]

Terriers did not get renewed...

It was probably my favourite series of Television this year. Damn shame.

[Reply #113 on:]

Don't be sad. Now there's a better chance that "Who's the Chay?" will finally be picked up.

[Reply #114 on:]

Scifi channel is now running "Space Precinct."

I remember that show, sure it was a bit cheesy but I rather enjoyed it

[Reply #115 on:]

Any Douglas Adams fans catch the Dirk Gently pilot thing on BBC4?
Stephen Mangan (Green Wing) makes a decent Dirk, and it's based on some of the stuff in both the books, quite entertaining!

[Reply #116 on:]

Oh, wow, they made a show of that?
Gah, chalk up another on my list of things-I-want-to-see-or-should-watch-or-should-watch-again-but-never-really-get-around-to..

[Reply #117 on:]

Yis, there's a trailer and preview on Youtubes.

[Reply #118 on:]

Just watched it. Good fun! Hopefully they make more. Think i'll go out and get the books. Did that episode/movie follow the book?

[Reply #119 on:]

Essentially no, but the same characters are in the 1st book, McDuff, Susan, Gordon Way, but it's a different plot about time travel and ghosts, I think there was a missing cat in the 1st book but it was more of a side investigation.
And the bit with the fridge is from the 2nd book.

Also, yay new Californication episode.
