I keep hearing East Bound and Down is the shit, i need to start.

Get on it right now, there's only 13 episodes total (with the 13th coming on Sunday)

 

[Tengo Juego]

I hope they re-air this numerous times on Sunday night, again. I wont miss Eastbound and Down.

Empire is a network apologist it seems. I don't get how anyone can sit through shit like How I Met Your Mother or The Big Bang Theory. I boycott ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX when it's not sports-related. I just think they're level of humor is so dumbed down now, that it's not even trying.

Maybe it's just that the premium cable channels blew them all away with edgier shit, and I'm just an edgy shit kind of guy, but I haven't been able to watch a network show regularly since The OC went off the air. shifty I mean The Office was cool for two seasons, but got pretty stale and repetitive, and Parks and Rec is pretty hilarious in small doses, but once you realize that it's the same show as The Office, only in a different setting and with a funnier cast, it's hard to turn back. Law of diminishing marginal returns applies to both The Office and Parks and Rec.

The one good show NBC did have, Friday Night Lights, they screwed around with and eventually banished it to DirecTV's "Channel 101". Only after the show gained a huge cult following did they bring it back, again half-assed, because they re-air a show about football during the spring, when the only people who will watch are hardcore fans who have already seen the original run via streams or 101 anyway.

Basically, NBC and the other networks blow donkey dick right now and it's up to the viewer to let them know.

I am still loyal to a few (Community, the Office, 30 Rock, Modern Family), but the majority of my television watching comes from AMC, FX, HBO and Showtime.

:smh:

Can't do it. Can't do either one. Call me a hater, but Donald Glover/Tracey Morgan are in the "rather shove needles up my dick than hear this guy try to be funny" category for me. And Tina Fey is in the "nobody would think she was funny if she looked like Cheri Oteri" category for me.

Apologist my ass. I know the majority of network scripted stuff is crap. How I Met Your Mother became stupid after the second season or so. Dragged on way too long. BBT is a good show.

OC? really? hahahaha

I'll admit, the past two seasons of The Office have been subpar.

FX was/is great, but since The Shield ended, I have only watched it for Always Sunny and The League. I watched the pilot of Justified and liked it, but just didn't check it out again. The new show debuting in January about an old boxer looks alright, but I doubt I'll get into that one.

Southland is another example of your FNL example. Started on NBC and they fucked it over. Regained popularity after the fact and is now starting a new season soon on TNT. Personally, it's a decent cop show but I don't see a real overriding storyline that hooks me. As it is now, I'll catch an episode if I'm ever flipping through and it's on, but I don't go out of my way to check it out.

Nobody doubts the quality is on cable networks.

I still watch 30 Rock for the same reason I still watch The Office. I've devoted so much time into these shows, I cannot turn back now. It's the same reason why I watched Season 4 and 5 of Weeds. Besides, I'd pay to watch Alec Baldwin eat peanut butter, so getting to see him run circles around everyone on 30 Rock each episode for free is awesome.

And you need to put your hate for Donald Glover aside because Community is one of the funniest shows on TV. He's much more tolerable in the show than in Derrick Comedy. He still does his dumb humor, but it doesn't fill the show. Abed, Chevy Chase and Senor Chang make the first season so god damn funny (although Senor Chang is far too over the top this season). Plus Alison Brie is so god damn hot.

They seem to have his jokes emphasized to the point they want to make sure you know its him telling it by centering him to the camera. He was great in small doses, but you sir are right.

 

[Buzzman]

O and the main reason shows on ABC/NBC/CBS aren't as good is primarily because their seasons are way too long and things tend to drag out and because they care about ratings, they have the simplest form of a storyline so you can jump in at any point in the season and not be confused.

hey is AMC and IFC the only channels this is on, because neither of those channels are HD on DirectTv

 

[SethMode]

Louis is fantastic for anyone that likes either Louis C.K.'s comedy or people that like FX's more edgy style. It's even on Netflix instant queue now.

Friday Night Lights was junk. How do football fans like TV/Movie football? It's jaded, over-dramatized and incredibly unrealistic.

That is so weird. 254 for me airs programming in HD.

The acting is amazing, I don't know, it's just better than most family/high school dramas. The football is obviously not gonna stand up to the real thing but it's gotten less ridiculous as the series has gone on.

/off-topic

The point of watching a television show is to be entertained. Watching 'real' football in a TV setting would be mindnumbing, especially high school football. 3 yard run after 3 yard run, awesome.

FNL has some of the best acting and writing of any TV drama out there. The actual games form a backdrop for the relationships between the players
