Re: What shows do you watch?

Only thing about Hulu that bothers me is the way the networks treat them. They're SUPPOSED to be contracted to keep full seasons up until the next season starts. Goldbergs only allow them certain episodes past the week they were played on TV. Fucking fuckers.

Supernatural better bring back Chuck next season. Best prophet of all time. I loved the line they had in his first season, "you think he's bad? You should have met John."

I've literally used hulu hundreds, if not thousands of times, and I've never had a problem with it once.

I don't have Hulu, but I do use Amazon Prime, which is how I've been getting my Jack Baur on. What an awful, awful show that is. Spectacularly awful and nary a realistic plot twist. But damn it, its Baur/Snake and therefore I will watch it. :lol:

24 is that show that, if everybody wasn't watching it, you'd hang your head in shame and try to pretend you didn't know exists. But since everybody does watch it, you walk by people you barely know and go, "JACK BAUER! FUCK YEAH" and high-five on the way past. It really is awful, but nobody gives a fuck because Jack Bauer. As I told a friend when he asked who Jack Bauer was years ago, "Jack Bauer is what James Bond would be if he'd stop being a fucking pussy." :mad:

Just recently watched the first 2 episodes of S1. Seems good so far. Forgot about that one.

Seriously y'all, if you haven't watched Galactica, you should check it out. Just started the final season last night.

Cause I'm a snobby anti-snob. Or an anti-snob snob? Whichever.

I thought it looked awful when it was on, I have enough other things to occupy me.

I see all the love it gets while also admitting its awful. I'll let you all enjoy it. :lol:

As far as 24 goes, never interested me. I know people seem to love it. I watched a few episodes intermittently so i guess I never gave it a fair shake.

I forgot to list Defiance as another good sci-fi show

Forgot Supernatural.....I always forget Supernatural. I dig it and think it's a good show. We record it and then three weeks go by and we hit 3 episodes in one night. Weirdly enough I don't miss it when it's not on. More of a 'if nothing else is on' type of thing.

Not really a big TV guy.

My wife started watching it before I did. I had the same Malcom in the Middle observations and I LOVED that show. First time I walked in the room and Atticus was whispering some random nerd-sh*t to his stomach I fell over laughing :lol:

This is actually my other favorite show. The main actress is phenomenal. She plays many different characters (clones) and in some scenes there are three of her talking to each other, though you don't even notice because each character is so realized. Very impressive.


I've seen all the episodes and I still can't figure out if I like this show or not :lol: I mean I guess the fact that I've watched it all says something, but at the same time it can be pretty fucking cornball lol

Red Dwarf-Great smeggin' show

Mystery Science Theater 3000-I still think the Joel seasons are superior. There's still some gems with Mike here and there, but not as many. IMO

Twin Peaks-I've seen it before and loved it even though it kind of derails in the middle of season 2. But I just started to re-watch about a week ago.

Doctor Who-I like it.

Currently running on TV: @Midnight, Pawn Stars, Workaholics and re-runs of Married With Children on TBS.
