What Shows Are You Watching?

[mlmpetert]

On a whim, i search Sliders on Netflixs. It was there. I knocked out about 8 episodes over the weekend. If one day you notice mlmpetert is no longer on this forum, but a new memeber called thecryingman is poking around here, you can make a safe bet that ill be in violation of forum rules w/ 2 usernames.

Also been watching Gold Rush as well. I think it's interesting, but I'd like to know how much these guys are getting paid to be on camera and how that affects their bottom line in how much gold they have to find.

I loved when Tickle said, I don't drink too much, I drink just enough.

I've been meaning to watch it ever since I found this song.

Now that I'm caught up with Breaking Bad I need a new show to get obsessed with, I'm thinking Dexter or The Wire, which way should I go?

God I have tired to like the Wire I really have and I live near B-more. I just don't see why folks get so excited about it.

See Wire streaming anywhere?

I think I may pick the biker one on FX, as my next pour into series.

No, but iTunes has it on sale right now, $11.99 for the first season.

Edit: well they did as of yesterday, looks like it's $19.99 again.

Absolutely The Wire! I watch way too much TV but that was probably my favorite series ever.

I've watched Dexter since the beginning and it's okay. I thought the first season was great, the 2nd & 4th were pretty good, and the rest were just so-so.

I think you might be able to get it on your Roku with HBO To Go.

It may have already been mentioned in this thread, but did anyone watch Homeland on Showtime? I just watched the whole 1st season OnDemand last week and it's definitely the best new show I've seen in a long time.
Great cast, really good acting and writing, and Claire Danes' character professes to be a huge Redskins fan (it's about the CIA so it mainly takes place in DC) which is a nice bonus. I highly recommend it.

Just had a friend say the same thing!

Just started watching Friday Night Lights with Netflix on a whim mainly because I have a crush on Connie Britton dating back to her days on Spin City. Turns out I may have stumbled onto one of the better shows on TV (the 8.6 user rating on IMDB seems to confirm that).

Also nice to see a portrayal of High School Football using players that actually look like they belong in High School, as opposed to the Hollywood versions where players are all at least 6'1 and growing facial hair.

Wait a minute. Why do I get flack for not following a show that aired for 3 seasons on some random DirectTV network because it was facing cancellation and having it's Achilles heel being viewership?
