Topic: Rate the last TV show you've seen

[BlackNMild2k1]

I like those shows, other than The Simpsons, it's just that none of them were particularly funny last night.

Famiily Guy has had some episodes that were hilarious like PTV, American Dad has had lots of laughs and Cleveland show has been sorta funny at times too, but last night was just disappointing. For the most part theyh just need to be highly entertaining even if not funny and I was just not feeling most of the 1st 2 shows and enjoyed the 3rd.

Just finished the last episode of Family Guy, and I can safely say that I can place this episode right up there with Saw 6 under "entertainment" I find offensively bad.  Episodes like this remind me of the South Park episode "All About the Mormons", which spent a great deal of time making fun of the wacky history of my ancestry...and then actually ended with a very fair and balanced view of the matter.  I don't like South Park as a show (I just don't find its sense of humor altogether funny most of the time), but that show at least can sometimes leave off with a good message.  This episode just makes me...angry, as it was nothing but a platform for the show's creators to spout off on just how much they hate Conservatives.  And it wasn't even funny!  How do you do a show featuring Brian taking on Rush Limbaugh and not make it funny?!  ARGH!

Oh yeah, and Eureka Season 4 ended well, somehow managing to (thankfully) avoid performing the universal Reset it threatened so hard to do.  And somehow Star Wars: The Clone Wars managed to have an episode featuring Greedo and a George Lucas stand-in in a canteena and somehow not do a "Han shoots first" joke.  FAIL!

It's only a mid-season break.

How do you do a show featuring Brian taking on Rush Limbaugh and not make it funny?!  ARGH!

By doing what they did, basically spend the whole episode praising Limbaugh. I was hoping they would make fun of him and conservatives (especially since Seth is a proud liberal).

[NWR_insanolord]

They had to write an episode Limbaugh was willing to appear in.

[TJ Spyke]

Limbaugh also appeared in the hour-long episode "Blue Harvest" (which was the FG version of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope).

[BlackNMild2k1]

Did anyone watch the season openeer to Dexter sunday b4 last?

such a missed opportunity for a Six Feet Under reference by using the other brother from that show as the funeral director.

[Halbred]

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!

It's gonna be a good season, though. However, it's going to be damn hard to top last season.

I loved that cameo; it was a really funny little non sequitur joke.

"I'm sorry for your loss"

would have been so perfect and would've brought such a smile to my face, regardless of how sad that scene was supposed to be.

Were we watching the same episode?     There were loads of insults and insinuations aimed at Republicans and Rush in that episode.  They just weren't funny.

Supernatural Season 1 - Good Television

Not every episode was the best but almost all were really entertaining. This is a show I wanted to watch when it started (during s5 of Smallville, and I know this because the actor from Smallville stars on this show) but I had a full load of shows to watch back then and my VHS tape could only handle so many recordings at a time (1, it could handle one recording at a time, it was a freakin VHS tape. Gimme a break, I didn't get my DVR box until 2006). But this show has been great so far, ghost, spirits, demons, possessions, magic, good, evil, life, death, humor and violence. what's not to like about this show? & Holy **** at the ending of the season. My Jaw dropped because it caught me off guard. Can't wait to see how season 2 starts.

[Caliban]

That has got to be one of the best season enders ever for TV history, or at least from what I've watched.

Whats sucks is that after watching the season 2 opener I realize that it was all for nothing. It could have all been avoided and they could have ended up with the same result and had that demon dead. Sam will probably not know the truth for a while, but Dean knows since the dad whispered something in his ear(I assume that's the logical conclusion to make after finding out what the dad did to save him - and the secret about Dean being a chosen baby or something. I've only seen s2e1 so far.)

I really hope s2 is as good or better than s1. I caught a few eps from last season and that's what prompted me to finally start watching this show, but I doubt that really spoiled anything since there are 3 seasons I missed inbetweenlots of story to catch up on before knowing about being the Devil's vessel.

[TJ Spyke]

I watched last night's episode of Glee, called "Grilled Cheesus" (it refers to a grilled cheese sandwich that Finn makes that has a image of Jesus burned into it). Not one of the best episodes IMO. It had some pretty good songs, like Finn singing "Losing My Religion" and the entire New Directions club performing "One of Us", but I was not a big fan of the religion themed episode. I did enjoy the storyline of Kurt and his father. Brittany had yet another memorable quote when she asked if God was a evil dwarf (it came after someone asked Kurt why he didn't believe in God and he basically responded that there is no proof it exists and said "You can't prove that there isn't a magic teapot floating around the dark side of the moon with a dwarf inside of it that reads romance novels and shoots lightning bolts out of its boobs, but it seems pretty unlikely, doesn't it?").

[Halbred]

My wife and I have been watching Glee since the beginning, and we've both agreed that the show has gone steadily downhill since...well, the first episode. First they started hitting us with these really emotionally-driven storylines like with Kurt and his dad. Then the lead singer woman started becoming THE MOST IRRITATING PERSON ON THE PLANET, then these themed episodes. Madonna was bad enough, but Lady Gaga? Brittney? Religious songs?

It's like they're running out of ideas in the second season.

Supernatural: s2 - Prankster ep

This is by far the funniest episode of the series so far. The dynamic between the 2 brothers is always humorous, and Dean is always making small jokes, but the way he describes whats going on in this episode was just LOL. When Sam described it, it seemed so normal, nothing out of the ordinary, but when Dean starts talking, the whole situation is out of control. His whole portrayal of Sam had me laughin my ass off and I seriously hope they do more episodes like that.


-Supernatural marathon continues.

Supernatural Season 2 - more great television!

If you are into anything that the name suggest, this is such a good show. Once again, not every episode is the best, but it's all handled very well and the special effects are pretty damn good for being television. The last ep got a little emotional at end, but things are looking good moving forward.

On to Season 3 now as the Supernatural marathon continues.

[TheBlackCat]

I watched bad universe episode 2.  This one deals with extraterrestrial attacks.  It had some cool stuff and some disappointments.  It was necessarily much more speculative than the last episode, but I don't think he adequately explained the issues with his arguments and I anticipate a lot of objections to his characterization of interstellar travel. 

For one thing, I do not think he adequately explained the flaws in the Drake equation (we only have wild guesses for most of the numbers, making any conclusion totally meaningless).  I also don't think E. coli was a good choice at all as an example of a bacteria to smash into the ground.  On the other hand, I am glad he talked about the experiments with exposing bacteria and tardigrades to extended period of time in space (having a bacteria survive in space is okay, but having an animal able to survive is pretty amazing, plus they're my second favorite animal ). 

The last two segments are the best, but I think he explained the scenario von Neuman probes much better in his book.

[Caliban]

The thing with Supernatural is that I thought it just kept on getting better, and better, season after season. The last season (in regards to how the creator originally intended it to end, so basically the 5th season) pretty much does not have much filler episodes, and even any filler episodes in this series tend to be good to great.

By the way, season 3 is shorter because of the writers strike at the time.

[ShyGuy]

Personally I have always preferred the "Monster of the Week" episodes in Supernatural, and there are some real doozies coming up for you, BnM.

Some of my favorites:
The Bank Job
Dean's unlucky day
Dean is scared
Ghostfacers
Old time monster movie
Scarecrow

[BlackNMild2k1]

The Hoodoo Rabbits Foot episode was f***in HILARIOUS.
even better than the Trixter episode.

Dean is crackin me up with all the movie references and just generally being Mr. Macho Man's Man.

Also the british chick in the red the episode after than is soo fine. Makes me think of what Lindsey Lohan should have grown up to look like if she hadn't wrecked herself in the meantime.

I'm not into blondes, but it seems like there is always a hottie of the week.
Like Dean's baby mama and the werewolf chick.

Supernatural Season 3 & 4

OMG no more filler eps that aren't trixter related please!!!!
Monster Movie and GhostChasers made me want to skip to the next episode so many times.
Everything pushing the story forward is gold, and the monster of the week fillers are ok, but the silly themed or filler eps that aren't Trixter related have got to go. GhostChasers are cringeworth and the Monster Movie B&W episode was horrible.

But I'm into s5 now and there are a few eps from this season I've already watched when they aired like the the TV show parody episode (L.O.L.), so I'm really looking forward to this season and the 3 episodes this new season that have aired so far.

back to my Supernatural marathon...
