TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[JackofDiamonds]

There are many, many shows funnier than both Modern Family and Parks & Rec.

30 Rock, Always Sunny, The League, Archer, Louie, Eastbound and Down. I'm sure more if I put my mind to it.

I was talking more about "clean" network shows. 30 Rock is actually probably better than Modern Family. Archer might be the funniest thing on TV though.

Absolutely.

I'm really enjoying Rubicon, Mad Men's lead in. AMC is batting 1.000 right now with Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Rubicon, so being an AMC TV fan and a zombie fan, I'm really excited for 'The Walking Dead.'

++ to Rubicon. Some of the code breaking is a little outlandish but nonetheless, as spy shows go it has tremendous restraint and slow pacing, sort of old school, as opposed to solving all the problems by technological magic like most intelligence operations are portrayed in tv and movies these days.

I'm extremely curious about that show. As for AMC, because of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, I trust them enough that I'd consider watching Rubicon even though it's exactly the kind of show I'd normally avoid.

"The Walking Dead" is surpassed only by the next season of Dexter and Boardwalk Empire as what I'm most excited to see in the coming months.

On Saturday I watched the first couple episodes of "Rescue Me" on Netflix. It's an alright show, but nothing great. It seems they're building a lot of overacted corny subplots.

After reading JL's comment maybe I'll switch to Dexter.

YES

I watched it for a few seasons here's a nice summary to save you some time.

Season 1 - Tommy is awesome and a badass. His buddies at the house are extremely handsome and fit except Lou, who is fat and funny. They all get up to hijinx, some are successful getting laid, some are not despite being extremely handsome and fit. Some bad fires happen. Family difficulties sprout for Tommy. He turns to drink and his behavior becomes out of control. Cliff hanger ending of the season where you aren't sure if his drinking or a fire will kill him.

Season 2 - See Season 1.

Season 3 - See Season 1.

and so on.

I just watched the Walking Dead trailer and almost squealed from excitement.

Also want to get into Mad Men & Breaking Bad. Son of a [expletive], I need to watch more TV.

All AMC shows are great. Rubicon is fitting nicely.

I wonder what the main guy's boss knew that he was killed. It can't be the crossword code, because everyone knows who found that.

Sons of Anarchy returns Sept 7. Can't wait for that one.
