Good Television Society Thread

Did anyone catch 'I Just Want My Pants Back', admittedly it's not the greatest title for a tv show, it's a new comedy on MTV. I saw a couple of adverts for it while I was watching Geordie Shore () and it looked pretty good, watched the first episode and was pleasantly surprised, writing was pretty sharp and it was actually really funny!

Everyone has got to watch Spartacus. That show is amazing. Watched the last episode of this series- it was too phenomonal.

Gutted about Lucretia and Illithiya dying. Oh well.


Need to watch Mad Men. Anyone watched "the boss" or "Magic City" yet?

Watched a bit of Spartacus (about half hour, I don't know which episode) but it's too filthy and crude for me. It's like one big orgy which surprisingly wasn't entertaining lol Lots of unecessary swearing too. Now I may sound like the BBFC, and have been watching gangster movies since I could walk, but it has to be done with a purpose. I just didn't like the tone of this show.

I agree that it is filfthy and crude. There were scenes that where I had to look away or fast forward.
The killing scenes, I don't mind, but certain scenes were pretty horrific.
I don't think the swearing is too much tbh. This is comming from me,I rarely swear.


Putting those scenes to one side, it is a pretty good show. The storylines are brilliant especially when it comes to the Romans. The whole deception, mainipulation, the craziness, the relationships- it makes the show.

Guys, what do you think of "Entourage"? I attempted to watch it a year or two ago was only able to work my way through the episodes because I really didn't have anything else to watch. I found it quite shallow and never went back when I found something better. I really cannot understand the fascination. I actually found "How to Make it in America" to be a similar, yet superior show and very much enjoyed its two seasons.

On a related note, I find myself only watching "The Big Bang Theory" out of habit and it also makes the "Community" episodes, which I watch after, all the more awesome! What was up with the "bongo solo" of Sheldon? It was not even funny!

I am eagerly awaiting the new season of "Suits" and more so, the one for "Breaking Bad". I like how they've decided to make the fifth season the last...

I think this might have to be added to my list of TV shows to watch!

Love Alcatraz. So far every episode seems to be reveal a little more, lets see how long they keep this up.

I'm loving Alcatraz too. The first episode was a bit dodgy but it's continued to get better and better. I'm growing to love the characters too, especially Sam Neil, he's great in it. My only criticism is that it hasn't gone beyond San Francisco... if I woke up after 50 years I would definitely escape the city and get as far away from Alcatraz as possible.

I thought it was ok. But apparently due to declining ratings, fox might just axe it.

Oh no, it's the first TV show I've really got into recently Although it would be quite nice to simply have one season, that way we get all of the answers sooner.
