[Chet]

You must not know much football then either...

all that american trash is french to me.
but yeah, i got my american pastimes mixed up there.

all that american trash is french to me.

Says the dude whose media consumption is limited to douchey American indie rock and lowbrow 80s action movies!

Game of Thrones, right?

Actually, scratch that, it's 3 after GoT and Awkward. I get confused when we started talking calendar year instead of seasons.

It goes 1) Game of Thrones 2) Awkward 3) Homeland 4) The Nine Lives of Chloe King

The drop-off between 3 and 4 should tell you something about new shows this year

my 11 year old niece Jayce's favorite show is...awkward.

Any Luther fans here? I loved season 2, but there shit just isn't ENOUGH of it.

Was anyone else a little let down/put off by the first episode of the new Sherlock series? Still had some fun moments, but tonally it seemed different.

I feel like my tv tastes are so milquetoast. I've been really into Parks and Recreation and New Girl and that's kinda it.

Parks & Rec is definitely my favorite sitcom, and really, it's the only current show I bother to keep up with, since all the new episodes are posted on Hulu.

have they started having new episodes yet after the holiday break? I usually only watch that show at my parent's house when I go for dinner once a week and for a couple months they have been like "sorry dude, the ep this week wasn't new so we didn't record it". What is the deal? And what is the deal with 30 rock? and Big Bang Theory?

I have been watching the 3rd season of Misfits and it's alright, not as good as the first two. Has anyone seen the Nazi episode? Pretty rediculous.

I saw half of an episode of The League and I thought the same thing about it being old buds hanging out and saying dumb stuff except I felt like I would give anything to not have to hang out with those guys so I didn't keep watching it.

PS. I got my parents into The IT Crowd. It is so hilarious and we are done with everything they have on netflix. Do they have new seasons or is it totally done with as a show?

I also had them watch the pilot for Twin Peaks the other night and they were into it.

[Javan]

nothing useful to add, but my god i love the it crowd.

[peacocks]

right? I just watched this episode where Moss gets stuck in a grab the stuffed animal with a flimsy mechanical arm scam game all night. My favorite character is the goth guy though.

[elpollodiablo]

Richard Ayoade is maybe the funniest man on earth. I laugh my ass off just watching him pull faces and walk around in that show.

[YojimboMonkey]

Richard Ayoade is maybe the funniest man on earth.

I just watched the entire run of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace the other day and you are right.

I've still only seen the first 3 series of The IT Crowd though, need to correct that

[elpollodiablo]

Cool it Jimbo or you'll get a knuckle supper

[Black Amnesia of Heaven]

when i moved to nyc and lived with ak for two weeks all we did was watch the it crowd

it ruled

[jebreject]

I mostly watched that show while doing other things, like posting on LPTJ, so I'm not sure I took much away from it.

[RoyBiggins]

Man, I should move to NYC and live with AK for a while.

[Greg Nog]

YESSSSSSS

[jm]

yeah do that!

Was anyone else a little let down/put off by the first episode of the new Sherlock series? Still had some fun moments, but tonally it seemed different.

I thought it was better than series 1. A lot better, actually. I think they are starting to do interesting things with the Sherlock character, rather than it just being a quaint kinda entertaining thing....series 2 possesses ZIP sonnnnn! You just don't like that Sherlock has a thing with 'the Woman' cause you hate women.

[Thermofusion]

I watched the Hound of the Baskervilles episode last night and it's my favorite of the entire series.

[milly balgeary]

I watched the Hound of the Baskervilles episode last night and it's my favorite of the entire series.

I have that episode all rarin' to go. It doesn't have women in it does it? Don't wanna piss off "I Dare Not Say His Name".

[milly balgeary]

I watched most of the 2nd season of Downton Abby today while slowly swallowing a live mackrel. Now all I got left is the Christmas episode! Merry late Christmas Downton!

[Thermofusion]

I've been reading about "backdoor pilots"--did you know this new show The Finder (which is good dumb fun--random John Fogerty cameo right after the opening credits) was originally a Bones "backdoor pilot"?

"Backdoor pilot"

[Good Intentions]

I had to google what that means, and also fight back the urge to turn that into my gamertag.

[Thermofusion]

Love it

[jebreject]

That first Sherlock episode was weird. Wasn't sure at first whether I liked it or not, but the longer I sit with it the more I did.
