It's a pretty decent game

There will be lots of info the coming months. New stuff every week I imagine. So all in good time.

FRINGE. I found it pretty good at first, but I got a little lost during 2nd season. It did give me a kind of LOST feeling, where all kinds of stuff (seemingly unrelated) is introduced.

One of the things I do not like about LOST (thought I like it overall) is that it can't decide what it is. Are the mysteries a social experiement, magic, supernatural, gods, mechanical, etc... And rather than picking one, it picks them all.

S.

I can see how that would be true. I think that most people outside of Baltimore (myself included) don't see it as a condemnation on the shortcomings of that city. I see it as a portayal of the problems of urban society throughout the US.

I agree. I'm a big fan of The Wire, but I don't take away a message that Baltimore sucks. As I see it, the show addressed some serious problems found in American cities by specifically taking a close look at Baltimore.

My list:

1. The Wire
2. Firefly
3. Jonny Quest
4. Jackie Chan Adventures
5. (space reserved for A Game of Thrones when I finally get around to watching it.)

My favorite show recently has been Parks & Recreation. Not only is it hilarious, but it has some of the best characters I've ever seen in comedies. They are genuinely decent people, and the show has made a very good habit of growing the characters as the series progresses. It's been very rewarding to see it find it's feet after the rough first season. If you watched it early and balked at the wobbly first six episodes, definitely come back it it. It's become something very special.

Oh, and Pawnee is the funniest fictional town since Springfield.

This is the one show the wife & I currently watch. The show has lots of funny but I find it lacks resonance due to most of the cast being one-dimensional props for writers' jokes. My favorite stretch of the show was season one because I liked how Ann & Andy fit into the storyline, and the pit was a character on its own and was central to the plot; the episodes were more about the storyline and less of a framework for jokes. It had a Christopher Guest vibe to it then.

Boy, I'm not sure I could agree less with what you just said. I think the show has immeasurably more depth now than it ever did in the early going. When it started out, it was just a weak proxy to The Office. Now it's actually a full universe of its own, and I feel like the characters are way more engaging and multi-faceted. As for the pit, well, some storylines are best left abandoned.

DELETED: Makes no sense now that the spambot has been booted.

I really should've added "The Avengers" (Peel and Steed, not Supers) and Fawlty Towers...let alone Are You Being Served. Love those British shows from back in the day.

Fuck!! I forgot all about Flowery Twats. I obviously need to pop those fuckers in the DVD player.
