Television shows discussion/reviews

xD Yeah I know, shows you how much I actually watch TV. lol Or check news online regarding Nick shows.

There's a good chance Disney might do the same. Bring on the Ducktales, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Aladdin and the Little Mermaid animated series (despite the poor animation on both shows, compared to their original movies, a lot of those episodes were entertaining!). And end the night by showing a classic Disney film Pre-2000s, including minor ones. Starting with a Goofy Movie!

;_; Comrade.

Only good things will happen from here on. Out of everything, Sailor Moon's return is the most epic to me. When the anime is remastered with a new dubbing track and I hear "Usagi Tsukino" spoken by an English VA, I will lose my mind in a VERY good way.

YES~! I want to hear that spoken by an English VA too. And not to be a spoiled brat, but I wish Yu-Gi-Oh would get re-dubbed too, maybe even Season 0. I can stomach the Yu-Gi-Oh dub, not so much the Sailor Moon one. Fortunately, I've seen almost every episode of the Sailor Moon series subbed. I just need to finish Sailor Stars. I had a dream I was watching Sailor Stars last night. Wrong thread, but there isn't much to talk about.

xD Hope you get to finish Sailor Stars before the actual dub releases.

*drools*

I'm sorry, I'm was imagining Galaxia having the most epic English voice over. FUNimation, do NOT fuck this one up. The Starlights may sound iffy, but DON'T YOU DARE screw up on my favorite animated villain of all time.

As the title suggests, what is everyone's favorite TV shows outside of anything related to anime? They can be shows that are currently on TV or shows that WERE on TV but are now shown in reruns or shows that were on TV but only had DVD/Video releases.

For me my favorites include...

NCIS
NCIS: Los Angeles
Star Trek: The Original Series
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Star Trek: Voyager
CSI: NY
Dog Whisperer
Deadliest Warrior
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (The old school rocks)
Firefly
The Haunted (ghost stories on Animal Planet)
Scooby Doo Where Are You? (classic Scooby)
Battlestar Galactica (old AND new)
Exosquad
G1 Transformers (gotta love the classics)
Gargoyles
Animaniacs

:) We have a thread for television show discussion already, however I will leave your thread open for a while to have our members make some interesting lists before merging it. :) Be back later with my list...thanks to Television getting slightly better lately, I can add some recent hits to the list, in addition to my classics.

Rats! I didn't see it.

I'll provide my list when I find the real television thread. My main favorites are Angel and Charmed.

uh... well, whenever I see a glimpse of National Geographic or the german version of Discovery Channel, count me in. I love Documentaries about animals, countries and cultures... *_*

Next on TV?

Spongebob Squarepants
Drawn Together (even if it gets a bit boring after all)
Futurama and The Simpsons
BONES
Cold Case
Law and Order: SVU
Lie to me
Xena - Warrior princess
Cooking shows: EXCEPT JAMIE OLIVER (don't stare at me, I can cook)


ya... pretty much it. There's nothing interesting on german TV anymore.

Threads merged.

Gleeeeeeeeeee
Gilmore Girls :3
The L-Word
Xena

These would probably be my favourite.
Currently I am still watching Pretty Little Liars (which get's worse and worse btw. XD) and something new Body of Proof. Oh, and I love How I Met Your Mother X)

Kino karutta-chan wrote:Gilmore Girls :3

Add that to my list. :) I can't understand a word Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel say from time to time. I need classes in Gilmore, the highest form of banter/sarcasm.

Currently I'm high on bones...well, not currently. Since last year, haha. Couldnt stop watching it xDD

Bones is awesome, I love her non-existential humor which makes everything funny

she's like Dr. House in female and still amusing.

(I quit watching Dr. House after he got his new team. It wasn't the same anymore...)

i know i'm a bit slow here (only just realised this thread was here) but i loved Dollhouse!! it was a great show! they only showed i think 4 episodes here, then cancelled it. which really disappointed me. i was glad there was something good on tv again :S

current TV shows i enjoy:
- Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad (seen almost all of em, but when i am channel surfing and find it i usually watch it)
- Avatar: The Last Airbender (seen it all several times, always stop if i find it on when channel surfing though)
- WCG Ultimate Gamer (been recording and watching the 2nd series. i watched all the first series too)
- Around The World For Free (i have it all recorded, but only watched about 1/4 of it)
- Tornado Chasers (i follow this show religiously when it airs lol. i'm excitedly awaiting the next season... if it airs...)
- D1GP and D1 Street Legal (drifting in japan. i think they stopped airing them here though unfortunately >.<)
- Most things on Discovery channel or Nat Geo, especially anything relating to Japan.
- and Spongebob Squarepants (when i see it on, cause it's awesome)

i think that about covers it for now.

Tv has gotten real boring here wow all the shows are way behind so I'm mostly watching online...
but I'm watching/have watched


NCIS
CSI
Rizzoli and Isles (sweet lord season four soon thank the lord these re-watches are killing me)
Body Of Proof (I AMSOFUCKIGNDONE)
Game of Thrones
Castle

I used to watch a lot of tv..but recently its just harder to find stuff I like....

TROLOLOL.
Glee can go fu c k itself ^__^ (which doesn't mean I won't be watching season 5 and 6 -__-)
PPL got really, really better last season and I am actually looking forward to the next one X3
It's been ages since I watched Body of Proof, which is sad. It's not like I can remember why I stopped though : X I really need to get back into it.
I haven't watched any How I Met Your Mother either, but that's because it's just isn't as good as it was in earlier seasons. I still want to get around at some point *shrugs*

Currently I am only watching two series, because all the others are on hiatus (well, three with Buffel). There is Defiance which is a alien kind of thing, but pretty good so far and it has Mia Kirshner and Julie Benz and other lovely ladies, so : P The other is Orphan Black which is just so good so far. I don't want to say anything else to it except: sdfghjklökjhjkll!

What I want to watch in the future is Intelligence which doesn't look too good to me, but it has Meghan Ory, so ._.

When there are new seasons, I will go back to (PLL, Glee), Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon A Time and! Lost Girl. I also need to get back on the Chicago Fire train, but... D:

I also have to come around to finally start watching Games of Thrones but that will be so time comsuming ö.ö

I am not watching many series, nonono

Oh, and when I feel like it I always go watch some Xena.

Oh Glee. Why must you torture yourself so, Kino, my dear. *facepalm* (as in my palm, your face)

I too need to start re-watching Chicago Fire. I just hate the situations the characters are in. Same with Once Upon a Time, but I managed to watch that till the end of the season *sigh*

Game of Thrones is EPIC! There was no episode this week :( It's the kind of show where you can't help but love all the characters. I especially love Emelia Clarke's character though. KHALEESI!



Whoops, wrong picture...



I'm also watching Nikita (which has gone to shit), Russle Howard's Good News and Mork and Mindy (Nanu Nanu!). I'm patiently waiting for Lost Girl to come back and will be starting Orphan Black and Defiance soon...



Look at how young Robin was. Robin, can I be you? Your career is perfect ;__;

Was watching Once Upon a Time and after so many plot holes, infantilizing the evil queen ruined it for me.

Was watching Lost Girl and Lauren got thrown to the wolves! (No pun intended!) I'll trust the show will get back on track next season!! So I'm keeping this one.

Was watching warehouse 13 and HG Wells suddenly decided to play desperate housewives forgetting completely about her already committed relationship with Myka! Say byebye warehouse, just cuz you didn't get renewed there was no need to piss all over it!!!

Was watching Game of Thrones and I finally like it! Too many characters, too little time though! Kill them all is my new motto! Also keeping this one, at least until they kill Daenerys or Aria.

Dropped Defiance after 1 ep but alas, HG Wells shagged Jenny Shecter in it and so I'm now watching it again!! Fastforwarding it to the interesting parts though.

Aside form Family Guy, Simpsons and the like... I don't hold much hope for television! They are replaying old shows though... So I can always hope to see something good!

Jesus Christ, MTV introduced the Geordie Shore to me... WTF is wrong with you people?! One wasn't enough????

Never seen Game of Thrones, but I've heard better things about the book series. What do you think, Oh Captain My Captain?

Never read the books! I actually rarely get my reading fill from books.
In my experience though... The books are always better than the movies/shows! Which is why you should watch them first and then read, else you'll always be disappointed!

Game of thrones was an acquired taste. The plot is good, the characters interesting and it always leaves you wanting to know more. The thing I had an hard time swallowing was the quantity of main characters!! So many people... So many towns... So many settings!!! Everytime I get into one story they switch it to another one! Every character has up to 10 mins, sometimes none.

Even having read the spoilers for the last episode I wasn't prepared for the graphic raw violence. This show doesn't pull back! You need to watch at least one episode!! Be acquainted with the awesomeness that is Lord Tyrion!!

I'll give it a watch, Cap. Only because raw violence tickles my fancy. Just as long as the series doesn't just focus on that, otherwise it'd be another Spartacus clone. :)

As for upcoming TV shows, my attention will be focused on Rizzoli & Isles when it makes it's season 4 return on June 25th.

Precious news is appreciated!!!!

Do so! Violence is awesome but there's a lot of shagging in between!

Shagging is nice as long as it's a very lovely actress. I usually watch shows with a lot of shagging on Showtime like Shameless and Californication; didn't expect Game of Thrones to have some too. It's more like Spartacus every time I hear about it! XD Only Spartacus had the advantage of parading around naked Lucy Lawless from time to time.
