TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

The final solution to Gus is getting closer. He's a diabolical SOB.
I cant believe how good Breaking bad is this season.

Every episode just keeps raising the bar, it's so high now that I dont even know how they wil end the thing it with out it being disapointing.

That scene with Guss looking over the wall of the parking garage and Mr White freaking out was incredible.

Not just the best show on TV but perhaps one of the best shows ever made.
The ending did not dissapoint.

Gus' exit from Hector's room drove that home.
Less Canucks embarrassment please.

Gus was so slick and clever. It was almost a shock to realize that Walter outsmarted him.

I read that the series was extended for a 5th season but I can't imagine what its going to be about. Maybe Walt needs some time off. Perhaps he goes shopping for an RV?

Hadn't heard anything about another season, but after the season 4 finale, I wanted more.

Mr White is now a bona fide, bad ass mofo.

Sons of Anarchy is becoming a real decent show in the Blobcat's eyes. Not the best acting but the writing is solid and I think most of us probably wanted to zip around on a hog once or twice in our lives. Peg Bundy still has a hot body for an old african lion even though she has a mans jaw and a bulbous snout .

Ron Perlman may have evolved from the apes and might look more natural eating a banana swinging from a tree but dude works as the head of SAMCRO......

Good fucking show and yes i'm a bit late to the party.

How are you able to watch that show?

I have heard it's good but no clue where to get it.

Superchannel (not to be confused with Movie Central- I know Telus and Bell have SC available))... Mondays and Wednesdays Pot. If you have a US setup it's on FX I believe. As i said i'm late to the party but I am kinda hooked on it so far.

As an asside the last episode was deadly. What an endaround by Juicey to double X Miles and blame his sorry dead ass .

Last night I was watching some program on MSNBC called To Catch A Predator.

All I can really say is that this Chris Hansen dude is a total cockblocker.

AMC's 50/50 ratio of commercials to programming has gotten tired on me after watching so many HBO shows. I'll be watching the remaining episodes recorded.

Aside from the scene with the entire cast hiding underneith cars as the walkers went by, I thought the premiere was pretty mediocre. Can Andrea please die a horrible, violent death already?

The Walking Dead is good but they better develop the show because just barley avoiding death has been ok for seven episodes but it’s going to take more than that to keep me interested. I want character and plot development because the screwdriver in the zombie’s eye is going to get boring in a hurry.

IMO, they have to get to a large number of people and go on the offensive because this is already getting boring.

What the fuck was that creepy shit going on at the end of Dexter last nite!?! :shock:

I watched the pilot for The Walking Dead yesterday... I was surprisingly impressed, but I just can't stand watching AMC and as a result, likely won't watch it again. Is it on another channel?

Yeah, I enjoy a good beheading or a headshot, but things will quickly get boring unless some new characters are introduced. I already can't wait for Shane and Andrea to leave or die because I'm bored with them. I'm assuming the person that shot Carl and the deer is from a different group of survivors so we'll see where that goes. Hopefully Carl isn't dead because I like having kids on the show and it looks like he's going to grow up a lot in this season.

with both A Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad between seasons, I'm hunting for the next thing to watch. DL'd a couple Walking Dead episodes but we still have some left over Nurse Jackie and Burn notice on the back burner. (which reminds me, i think i should be Sam Axe for Halloween). I should really take the plunge and start watching the Wire like ive planned for so long. Winter is Coming, so I won't have summer activites to fill my evenings any more.
