TV Viewing - Post Sopranos

[Insomniac]

I tried a few shows:
Up All Night - I didn't like it at all
Free Agents - Horrible
Whitney - So-So (Gets some LOLs)
2 Broke Girls - I think this is the better show from Whitney Cummings
Terra Nova - Not sure. It felt a little long/drawn out for a 2 hour premiere
Unforgettable - I don't watch many CBS drama's, but I imagine this fits in well with all their other procedurals. I didn't like it much.
Pan-Am - It's on my DVR, but I haven't decided if I want to watch it yet
New Girl - I didn't think it was great, but FOX already increased the order from 13 to 24. It's probably the best of the bunch with 2 Broke Girls

[Insomniac]

Depends on how you define low. They had about 9 million viewers in the overnight ratings. DWTS had 15 million and the sitcoms on CBS had from 10-20 million depending on the show. I suspect 9 million isn't enough long term. I think it was probably not wise to put it up against DWTS.

I think 9M would get them a second season, especially on FOX.

[stroker]

The pilot of Person of Interest was good. Missed the second episode but I've set to record the series.

House starts tomorrow! It'll be interesting to see how they write Cuddy out of the script....

[TKGAngel]

I think 9M would get them a second season, especially on FOX.

The pilot alone cost Fox upwards of $10 million to produce. Some insiders even say it's closer to $20 million. The ratings numbers are good, but not great compared to DWTS & the Monday night CBS comedies. The numbers on Week 2 will be the ones to watch. If there's a dramatic drop, then we can start talking trouble.

Fox is also wetting the bed over how the X Factor is not delivering the numbers they were expecting. If multiple programs do not deliver the ratings numbers promised, the network will be giving their advertisers many free spots to make up the difference. It's a lose/lose situation.

Season finale of Breaking Bad = jaw on floor. When I realized I might have to wait another 9 months for the last season to begin, I nearly cried.

Anybody doing Homeland? We watched the pilot then missed a week (?). IMDB says there was an ep called "Grace" on 10/9 and this coming Sunday should be the third one but the TV is showing "Grace" as the ep this coming Sunday. :confused:

We rather like Person of Interest. Otherwise yawn for anything we've tried. Terra Nova didn't make it in ep 2 for me. It's supposed to be a contrived world and, well, they succeeded in that.

[G.]

Only thing I've gotten around to watching is the first episode of Terra Nova. Interesting start. Given the ratings vs. expense of the show I think it will be one season and done though.

I hear they're saving some bucks in production.

Totally agree w/ your second paragraph. Caviezel's good, but Michael Emerson is brilliant. Consider me hooked.

Good point.

So what's the verdict on Homeland? Some boobies from time to time. Violence from time to time. Otherwise, my grass grows faster than this is moving. Four episodes and I'm beginning to yawn. Maybe something's up (no pun intended) now that our man will apparently have the hots for the chick that's trying to trap him? Or is really trying to trap HER?

Anyone watching Boss? I'm not a Kelsey Grammar fan but he is amazing in this role. Beyond that, crickets. I gave up after episode two.

I think a lot of these shows are going for the slower burn, but are having a tough time between keeping people on the edge of their seat (lofty standard set by Breaking Bad) and simply drawing it out with boring intrigue. I have my suspicions on what is going on with Homeland.

Related, Dexter is over for me. They've pushed its unbelievability to unbelievable levels. It's now a soap.

Not sure how they can sustain it unless all the original characters end up dead within a season or two. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they're off the show in the this case. Of course with the whole "Rosemary's Baby" angle the wife is likely to be around at least for a while.

[TravelGal]

PBS MI-5, CBS Person of Interest

Agreed. Loved MI-5. I think we've seen all of the episodes. Was quite sad when it ended. Rupert Penry-Jones from MI-5 is the star of Whitechapel. So far, I think Person of Interest is the only show worth watching. Still waiting for Homeland and have pretty much given up on other new ones (although we're still watching... :shakehead )

PoI isn't too bad, but I'm still waiting for the new season of Justified.

[nrc]

Mid-season finale for The Walking Dead was something other than else. Intense. I liked this half season better than the first season. Especially the last part of last season. I hope they can sustain it.

I'm also enjoying American Horror Story. I just hope that Ben doesn't start seeing things so much "as they are" that the hot version of the maid disappears completely. :gomer:

[TravelGal]

In another completely unrelated universe far, far away, is anyone watching Hell on Wheels? Slogging through the mud to build the Transcon RR is not the most gripping of concepts but the acting is good as is the writing and the production values are amazing. You can decide if you like or dislike the lead guy, the [pc) Native Americans [/pc] are shown well, tension between the freed blacks and whites is dealt with realistically, the Swede (or is he Norwegian?) is the poster boy for benevolent sadists.

[Ziggy]

I like Board Walk Empire, but the writing is very inconsistant (like my spelling)

Colbert report is not to be missed either! :D Dude is very clever IMO.

Just got through some rocking Pearl Harbor subjects, the 24 hours after was most excellent. Some great concerts on HDTV as well, as I am new to direct TV (and like it so far)

[Gnam]

Saw a little bit of 'Hell on Wheels' last night. Any scene with Chief O'Brien and Magua is worth watching.

[nrc]

Boardwalk Empire finale.

Dayum. Nucky Thompson is hard core OG. :eek:

[Ankf00]

penultimate Homeland ep was pretty great.

BE finale, well... ya.

[Ed_Severson]

In the absence of Breaking Bad, Dexter has been keeping me occupied, and I blew through the first 9 episodes of Homeland in a day before adding it to the DVR schedule. Season finales of those two this Sunday ... should be a good couple hours of TV.

House of Lies looks pretty good as well ... may give that one a shot after the calendar turns.

[G.]

Dexter's days of shark-jumping are behind him.

[TravelGal]

Good to know that Homeland came through finally. We gave up when the two antagonists were walking through the woods, waxing eloquent about nothing at all. zzzzzzzzzz Also gave up on Whitechapel when ADD overtook the head inspector.

Overall, I've been pretty disappointed by the non-network shows this year. I expect drivel from the networks but better from their competitors.

[Insomniac]

American Horror appears to be going in another direction.

Related, Dexter is over for me. They've pushed its unbelievability to unbelievable levels. It's now a soap.

Now that it's over, they sustain it with a new cast/murder house. :) I feel like part of what made this show interesting though was it took a little bit to figure out exactly how it all "worked". If they are just changing the location and cast, they are going to have to really top themselves in my opinion.

Dexter requires you to suspend belief quite a bit, but now they took it to a new level with Deb.

Boardwalk started a little slow, but really got rolling.

I still have to finish Homeland though.

[Kahauna Dreamer]

Boardwalk Empire finale.

Dayum. Nucky Thompson is hard core OG. :eek:

If you mean, Nucky personally killing Jimmy, yeah. But what other conclusion could there have been, especially after the Oedipus moment between Jimmy and Mom...?

But HBO is running The Wire and Game of Thrones from the beginning, on HBO OnDemand or HBO Go, so that will work.

[Insomniac]

If you mean, Nucky personally killing Jimmy, yeah. But what other conclusion could there have been, especially after the Oedipus moment between Jimmy and Mom...?

He could've killed his brother?

[Kahauna Dreamer]

He could've killed his brother?
Nucky killing Eli? Wouldn't he have done that already?

[Insomniac]

Nucky killing Eli? Wouldn't he have done that already?

You asked what other conclusion. He killed Jimmy because he believed Eli when he said it was Jimmy's idea to have him killed. I know killing your brother is a big step from telling him to GTFO after betraying him, but he also was quite fond of Jimmy before all this. I could see it going either way.

[nrc]

I just figured they were looking to maintain him as the charming rogue who kept his distance from the actual dirty work.

do yourself a favor and dont watch the previews at the end of the eps. the marketing ppl have no clue how to put together suspenseful previews without giving away key plot points that lessen suspense of the next episode, and in the case of the finale the previews gave away the ep's ending

I thought the same thing. Was planning to catch season 2 on DVD or a marathon some time. Oh well. I'm sure I'll have forgotten by the time get around to seeing it. :gomer:

I know most you don't have hated cable but I also agree about previews. Time Warner shows the whole dang movie, end and all. CRIPES. I want an idea of what it's like not the the entire plot. Saves the $$$ though.

"Those characters and those stories are done," creator Ryan Murphy told reporters Thursday morning. "Every season of the show will be a different haunting. Every season will have a beginning, a middle and an end. What you saw in the finale was the end of the Harmon house. The second season of the show will be a brand new home or building to haunt."

We're watching Luck. I LOVE it. TravelGuy tolerates it. It's like Hell on Wheels in that it's just the lives of the characters. Like most lives, they don't move all that fast. Unlike most lives, they are extremely intertwined and complicated. It probably also helps that I've been all through Santa Anita so I can picture exactly where all the track scenes were shot.

Bad "luck" for "Luck." I read that they closed it down abruptly for good yesterday after a third horse died during filming. Two died earlier on in unrelated incidents and they upped their safety precautions way above even what PETA requires. It apparently wasn't enough.

HBO had renewed it but it was a ratings dog (you should pardon the expression). Now I supposed we'll never know which of those protagonists wins the inevitable eventual match race.

whats with the 6 or so episode seasons these days? :confused:
I think the idea is fewer episodes is supposed to translate into higher quality. The british tv shows have 6 or 12 episodes per season instead of the 22 most american shows have.

The other trick is to break a season in two, showing the first half in the fall and the second half in the spring. I guess it allows them to schedule shows for maximum ratings and avoid competing with other shows or sports.

Not sure if you all know, but it was shut down during the filming of Season 2. They will finish airing this season (2 more episodes).

[TravelGal]

Yes. They filmed 9 for season one and had started shooting season two, which had an order for 10. They announced that the last episode shown would be March 25, which is the last one of season one.

I finally found out that the last horse died because he reared as he was being led back to his stall. The Humane Society said this is more common than you would think. Fell over and hurt himself badly enough that he had to be euthanized. In other words, hardly negligence on their part but it was the coup de grace. Especially on a series that wasn't performing that well and was already under investigation.

Too bad. I liked it. It could have taken three years for Dustin Hoffman to prevail but it would have been fun seeing how he did it.

[trish]

I'm back in the 80's and watching Dallas again. It surprised me how good the new version is since usually you can't recreate a TV show like this, yet they did it and quite successfully (so far).


Bobby and JR are true to their original characters. Sue Ellen has apparently found recovery and success as an independent woman, she may even be running for Governor. They had Ray and Lucy on the pilot episode. I think Cliff Barnes will be back too.

And the actors who play the sons of Bobby and JR (Christopher and John Ross) are quite good and fit their roles perfectly as the new generation of Ewings. They've put together a great cast for this new series. If you ever watched the original you won't want to miss this.
