    I'd rather watch Entourage than The Simpsons.

    As much as I love science fiction Terra Nova seems almost too ridiculous for it to be good (in a serious sorta way, which is what I got the impression they were going for).

    How can you not like Top Gear? Even if you don't like cars, Clarkson's arrogance/ignorance/controversy is hilarious...

    Hi
    did you just quote me to get me to go into this **** thread?

    It's ****ing ****...

    Edit:

    Actually I'll take that back after reading the 'hate' list, most of those are ****. But I don't watch enough of the 'love' list to actually like this thread...

    I don't watch Top Gear, but it must be pretty good to last so many seasons.

    Bored the **** out of me
    A-bloody-men. Entourage was a brilliant show for its first couple of seasons; fresh and exciting. Now its just repetitive crap for its story-lines, mixed in with, another party ONCE again and Vince screwing some random broad ONCE again :rolleyes:

    With regards to the new series, I'm glad its the last (and not a full season order at that even); though I must say Turtle has lost a crap-ton of weight and almost looks completely different (almost b/c he still wears those hats ).

    Entourage is in the wrong list, and Breaking Bad is missed on the good.

    A lot of the stuff on the bad side isn't that bad too, most of it is average, some of it is good and Entourage is quality. Took me a while to like it but i got hooked when i got into it. Community is left out too. Plus I hear Modern Family is good. Arrested Development is the greatest show of all time for me I think Mad Men is my next show to watch once i've finished watching Entourage (half way through s7). But i agree with what some are saying, if you are going to put some critically acclaimed stuff and some good stuff generally in the bad list, what is the point of having this as a society if loads are going to disagree with your subjective opinion for a thread you want to make people discuss around your opinions. Sounds silly and i won't be discussing anything more here as it's stupid, and getting a bit elitist.

    Can't stand Community or Modern Family. I didn't say that anything that's not on the good list is **** - I'm aware Breaking Bad is a good show. However I haven't got into it yet. Don't like Entourage either, and it's my society
