The Official Good Television Thread

Should I start watching Rome?Any opinions.

Short answer: YES

Slightly more involved answer: The first season of Rome is a paragon of television brilliance. The second season pales in comparison, but it's still very good.

I agree with Einherjar

Currently fucking loving season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Gets better every season imo. Larry is the man.

I agree with the first season of Rome. I've been wanting to rewatch it recently. I thought the arena fight at the end of the season was one of the most badass fights ever put to film. Dunno why but I loved it.

 

[Einherjar86]

I know why: because it was one of the most badass fights ever put to film. The brutality and emotional intensity of the whole scene is fantastic.

Anyone watching this season of The Office? I am really liking it.

I've been off the Office for a couple of seasons now. I was into it the first couple, but the annoyance factor came to outweigh the humor for me. Same with My Name is Earl. I do see parts of it because my wife and son like it still.

I'm sort of hoping V will fill in a portion of the void left by BSG.

You're in the television thread... and I thought you were older than 24?

I agree. The Office was starting to trail off last season, but they are bringing it back this year. What made The Office great was Jim vs Dwight, and they lost that for a bit, but it's coming back.

Well with recent seasons the writers realized that people really just like the characters so they've been straying away from making people caricatures and they're actually fleshing them out.

There are so many great parts of The Office though. I really like how they've made Michael a sympathetic character now. Also Creed is usually good for one great joke an episode.

Nails it! My fav show, love it! You can cut the intensity with a knife...supressions and friction are maxed within the club right now...sum'n is gonna go down soon? Jax needs to step up?

 

[The Ozzman]

My guess is that chapter of SAMCRO will split into two and Jax will make his own club?
