TV Shows

OH SNAP SON! Breaking Bad and True Blood tonight. Might have to have another burger feast to celebrate.

I wonder who Walt is gonna try to kill.
 
the past Louie episode was even more bizarre. pointless rather.
there was one point where he is singing "Who are you" in the car with his kids in the back for like the entire song.

This is why Breaking Bad rules..
 
well ... Louie delivered is what I think his Emmy award winning episode this week ... great stuff ... very understated and just great ... uplifting nonetheless which was the biggest surprise.

he goes on a USO comedy tour in 'ghan along with a baby duck his daughter sneaks into his luggage.
 
Since the football season, I haven't watched any television. I have the season of Cosmos and Through The Wormhole on DVR but yet to watch any of 'em. But I still wanna know if anyone watches Rick & Morty. It was suggested to me by a friend as comedy gold.
 
Sons of Anarchy... best show on TV.

I remember when this first came out. I laughed at the premise. Recently though, out of utter boredom, not much else available on Netflix at the moment, and a reco by at least three of my coworkers, I started watching this show.
While watching the pilot, I chuckled a little at the preposterousness of it. Immediately notable - a motorcycle club chick who leaves the town to become a doctor? Who wrote her letters of recommendation for med school? The members of SAMCRO?
And then she leaves a lucrative position at a Chicago hospital to move back to the middle of nowhere to reignite her love affair with Jax - a motorcycle club leader with an IQ of about 90?
Other silliness includes 1) all of SAMCRO's enemies being utterly and completely incompetent. ALL of them. Gangsters who rose up in the 'hoods of Oakland cannot take on a handful of rural NoCal gun-runners 2) a local deputy sheriff who in one episode is bristling with hate for SAMCRO and is going to bring them down at any cost but a few episodes later is interfering with a federal investigation against the gang for reasons that are never revealed except that he went to high school with some of the members 3) the members of SAMCRO, while apparently having no money - which is one of the major running plot lines of season one - always come up with an attack plan worthy of a cost-no-object Black Ops unit 4) all members of SAMCRO are invincible - there's a gun battle in every episode but only one member ever gets shot and it's conveniently just a "minor" wound in the shoulder 5) all members of SAMCRO are experts in hand-to-hand fighting and no one ever gets the jump on them even though they all chain-smoke, are constantly drunk, and the President has debilitating osteoarthritis 5) The federal agents in the show are - conveniently - just as sociopathic as the criminals and catastrophically fail to bring them to justice 6) SAMCRO not only manages to locate a federal witness safe-house but also subdues the two guards standing watch outside (it's not revealed how this is accomplished), a federal agent inside the house by sneaking up behind her (first day on the job?) and then threatens the witness to a SAMCRO murder into leaving the country and never coming back or they will kill her. At this point, I presume, we are supposed to cheer that the murderers got away with a crime yet again. Oh, and none of this is ever addressed again in the show. So after the federal agents escaped from their bonds to find their witness was missing, they were just like "fuck it"?

I'm going to keep watching this show because I've decided it's supposed to be a comedy. I've read that they eventually go off to Ireland and I'm already laughing at the idea of it.
 
oh it gets even more insane around season 4 when they start having machine gun/rpg battles in the foothills and no sheriffs helicopters or anything ever show up etc

i love the show, but its completely unrealistic in a lot of ways
