    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
    Well, i couldn't think of a much more pointless thread then.

    Get the **** out then, bro.


    How is this any different to any of the other society threads? It's not like everyone in any of them agrees on everything. In general people here will agree on what constitutes 'good' television and what constitutes regurgitated, inane bull****.

    who are you?

    as much as i like a lot of this good tv like Arrested Development and Breaking Bad, i'd rather not be part of some stupid elitist society where i bunch of people talk about how they think they are better than other people just because of what they watch tv wise.

    I'm considering watching this next now that I've finished The Sopranos.

    Although tbh, I feel like watching The Wire again.

    This post reminded me of an idea I had a while ago - a Sopranos spinoff called Hesh. Thoughts?

    Shame, I actually looked forward to it. Before Boardwalk Empire starts I'll try to finish the rest of Battlestar Galactica and by the way I definitely recommend watching The Borgias, it's going to start on Sky Atlantic but I watched its entirety before, really good tv show, can't wait for season 2.

    Pretty Little Liars.

    I've been watching this since the start but I'm kind of getting bored by it now. It's the same old, same old each week.

    I was kinda bored of quite a few episodes ago but I watch it out of habit, plus I love Shay Mitchell and want to impregnate her. :coma:

    Anyways, I think what's making it so popular in the US right now is the storyline is VERY unique, and carries that air of mystery and executes cliff hangers sufficiently.
