Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
HAPPINESS CHARGE! I recently scored the complete series of Red Dwarf and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. on DVD! I had these sent to my friend in the States, who then mailed them to me along with the Record of Lodoss War TV series box set, Heroic Legend of Arslan, and some other anime DVDs I'd ordered from Amazon. He gets a fantastic shipping discount from his work, so I just received them today.

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
I'm finished Season 6 of Mad Men now.
I just cannot see Don Draper not dying at the end of the show. He will never be happy and worse, he's becoming increasingly out of touch with the changing world.

Brisco County, Jr? That takes me back to 3rd and 4th grade.
Watched the season premieres of South Park and Agents of SHIELD. Totally loved both of them

Saw the first episode of The Flash. Was really impressed. Grant Austin exceeded my expecations and glad they got the original actor, John Wesley Shipp, to play his dad.

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
I've been watching the 4th season of The Walking Dead now that it's on Netflix. So far I'm enjoying it more than the last two seasons.
I also taped the first episode of The Flash (literally taped it from TV onto VHS -- DVR is overrated!). I still need to watch it, though. Big fan of the original '90s Flash series.

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
Currently:
The Flash - great stuff
Gotham - weird cop show. The guy who plays Oswald Cobblepot is fantastic!
Arrow - slowed down a bit but I know it'll pick up
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD - getting weird again
Ben 10 - looks like they are burning off the 30 episodes they completed
Star Wars Rebels - very juvenile but might be promising
Legend of Korra - looks like no more after this season
Dr. Who - I like Capaldi as the Doc but the episodes have been a bit lacking
Others I might try:
American Horror Story - the clown in Freakshow is the talk of the town
Forever - like New Amsterdam of a few years back
Outlander - based on books I never read
Looking forward to their return:
Black Sails - just got renewed for a third season
The 100 - the first episodes started out slow but really picked up later on

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
I've finally discovered watching Band of Brothers. Produced by Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg, this is like watching Saving Private Ryan for hours on end. I missed this show originally because I did not have HBO, and here in Japan you can rent American TV shows. Heck, here you can rent movies period! We still have video rental stores here. Only the Tsutaya where my in-laws live has this series though. I've watched the first 3 DVDs, so that's 6 episodes so far. One of the captains is the actor from Office Space. I always wondered what happened to him, because I've never encountered him in other shows before. He's in this show, along with some others.

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
AHS: Freakshow was a disappointment to me...it was all over the place and had way too many plot points going on. It felt like they were just throwing ideas out there and seeing what stuck. :/ So far, the only season I've really liked was the second, but I keep watching it because we're so starved for "horror" on mainstream TV, lol._D_ wrote:Currently:

I'm still watching "Better Call Saul" on AMC. I'm really enjoying it so far, good stuff.

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
I just went on a Quentin Tarantino spree and watched
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Dusk till Dawn
Kill Bill I
Kill Bill II
I do not know why I was in the mood for that because I stay to the scifi and comedies mostly. I have been of a comedy binge of late. A lot of silly comedies. I feel the urge to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure coming on.

Re: What are you currently watching on tv?
I really enjoyed Band Of Brothers; that's some excellent television right there. So many terrific actors, the scripts are tight, and the battle sequences rival just about every other war movie or TV show ever. At first I wanted the whole show to be about Ron Livingston's character (Nixon), but Damien Lewis really sells me with his Capt. Winters. The followup series "The Pacific" is also great; at points the grim depiction of the Pacific War was almost too much.greg wrote:I've finally discovered watching Band of Brothers.
