It was about fucking Gayle too, who I can't stand. I put it on last night but barely paid attention.

Indeed, other than Tammy in Parks and Rec I can't stand Megan Mullally.
There were a few good bits in the episode but Gayle (mostly because of Megan's voice) ruined it.
The season 2 finale of The Americans is superb shit.
The pre-credits stuff with this playing:
I've had an episode of Person of Interest on in the background on TV for the past hour (Series 4 Episode 11).I've never seen it before but is it always this mental? The same thing seems to be happening over and over but with differing outcomes and they are all just randomly talking out loud but not to anyone. Not a fucking clue what's going on.
That episode was especially mental.
The computer program was playing out every single scenario possible and they showed a few of them.
It was a way of showing how it works, pulling on some heart strings and filling out an episode.
Not a particularly easy one to be my first then. Is there always a computer program?
I must have a look at the actual general plot of the show.
Sorry, it's a machine.
Yeah, I think it's a damn good TV show.
A man comes up with a Minority Report esque machine that can predict murder. They give this to the government who use it to stop terrorism. The inventor codes a back door into the machine that sends him 'irrelevant' murders (non terrorist actions) and prevents them with his band of merry men. It's great stuff.
The first season of it is complete bilge, and I mean complete bilge, but if you can get through that it apparently gets more serialised and begins to take off a bit. I couldn't. Not even close.
Mahow, please provide a full list of 'damn good tv shows' so I know what to avoid.
Although you do like Bob's Burgers so I'll let you have that one.
Anyone else bothered with Angie Tribeca yet? It's wonderfully silly.
"We did find something strange when going through the victim's records. There was a Simon and Garfunkel album in the hard rock section."
I watched it properly last night and actually really enjoyed it. It's still great.
Shame they're so useless at putting it out regularly.

Not yet but I fully intend to based on your posts in here about it.
It really is excellent. I haven't been quite that fast with it, but I'm into season four now and I reckon I'll have finished it by the end of next week, so about a month all in all.

Since X-files is back soon, me and the lady decided to start rewatching them all from the beginning. They are a little old, sure, but the Intro tune is so awesome you can watch whole episodes almost only thanks to the hype that comes with that, and really it still holds up pretty well.

Only watched two so far though, and it's great.

I've just started on episode one and that sums it up perfectly.Less than a minute into the first episode of Angie Tribeca and I've lolled four times. This is going to be Naked Gun with Rashida Jones in it.
It's probably more bizarre and punchline heavy than Naked Gun. It's the sort of thing that needs every ounce of that star power just to get made.
I swear she was narrating a nature documentary the other day.
Ali G was doing that better 20 years ago.
New Girl has been back for three episodes and none of you told me?
I lost track of it in the middle of whichever series that Coach returned.New Girl has been back for three episodes and none of you told me?
Just set up a RSS feed on a torrent site (BTN is damn good for TV shows but it is private) and your torrent client will auto download anything that pops up on said feed.New Girl has been back for three episodes and none of you told me?
Or if you can't be arsed doing that, make an account on on-my.tv and set up your own filter so you know the scheduling of all your shows.
Seriesguide is a pretty handy app for tracking them too.

I need to get going with the X-Files again. I had never seen any of it before, and I think I'm mid-way though season five. Whatever the last season before the first movie is, that's where I was up to. I need to knuckle down. This has been going on for a year now, on and off. I was really enjoying it too, I just keep getting distracted and drifting away from it.
I always enjoyed The X-Files more when they stuck to the one-off stories in a single episode.
Some of the "monster of the week" episodes are up there with the best things I've seen on TV. It bugs me a little bit that the stuff that happens in those episodes nearly always makes Mulder's belief in supernatural occurrences and weird shit in general pretty much unquestionable, but you'll still get Scully giving it the old "there must be a reasonable explanation for all this Mulder!" routine. Even after she's just been terrorised by a man who can shape shift to fit himself through the crack under a door, or whatever.
There were undoubtedly some good one-off episodes (the stretchy man one) but I always thought the over-arching/smoking man-centric ones (usually the beginning/end of series) were the best.
Spooky.
Everyone says that. I'm getting a bit sick of them though, and I'm only about 9 episodes in. Looking forward to them eventually following on a bit.

The way that it constantly breaks up the actual story (aliens, government conspiracies etc) does get a bit tiresome. A lot of times you want them to just get the fuck on with it but instead you've got about ten stand alone monster episodes to wade through before you get any progression. I think that's the main reason I keep tailing off with it.
The 'actual story' was complete bobbins, so the Monster style episodes were by far the best ones, in retrospect at least.
We should hold one 'damn good' spot vacant for whenever Mahow gets around to watching 'Lucifer'.
I've been holding one for months after watching the trailer.
My Dad's watching Gotham at the minute and it's wall-to-wall scene chewing. And every scene seems to need overpowering music in the background, for some reason.
I saw an advert for the new season of that last night, billed as 'Rise of the Villains'. How is that in any way distinct from the first batch, in which every villain in Batman history appeared in some form?
Alfred's trying to sack Bruce off to get his end away with a lass who is not interested until he mentions some fancy restaurant. The state of it.
I'm assuming his parents have already been shot and his still not moody about it.
Well for a start it's even more laughable.
Barbara becomes even more unbearable than Fish ever was too.
All they'd need to do for that to happen is expand her role. She was hardly there so wasn't particularly irritating, but she was quietly the worst actress ever.
"I know you, James Gordon. And I love you. And now I will make you a drink." A hook should have come onscreen immediately after that line and just dragged her right out of the postcode.
Whilst true, they also decided to turn her into a psychotic criminal.
Suits is back
I didn't even know it was on break.
Brooklyn Nine Nine isn't living up to series 2, but there's still not a better TV character than Captain Holt.
While it was always going to happen, they got to 'Holt's back in charge everyone' a little too quickly, if only because I wanted more Vulture. I prefer when they have the episode structured around some kind of case too rather than wackiness in the woods.
Series 3 of House of Cards really doesn't have the same spark to it.
Gotham has been by far the only reason to watch TV lately. Pure classic in the making.
Been re-watching some Parks and Rec between other things when I can't be arsed with paying proper attention to something new. Coming up to 5000 Candles in the Wind.
Don't let John hear you say that.
How's this season been? I've got the episodes aired in the UK so far on my Sky box, think I should persevere and yet can't quite bring myself to make a start.
Sixteen episodes into [season one of] The X-Files and I'm absolutely loving it. Had a brilliant run of three episodes too.
Boggs.
