David Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Too much cheese on American TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 ^^ True of network television but grossly wide of the mark when it comes to cable; Dexter, The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos, The Wire, The Shield, Game of Thrones, Deadwood, Homeland, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm still working my way through 24, it's watchable and I'am enjoying it but the cheese gets sickly at times. What's with the 10min last time on.....All about as well, I remember watching Lost on Sky 1, it took 15mins after adverts to actually get to today's episode.

Breaking Bad is a ridiculusly awesome cable show though. The major American networks have been failing for a long time now(though Modern Family is pretty funny). If you want the good stuff, TNT or FX stuff will not fail you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 HBO and Showtime ARE cable. Surely you should know that! 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> I tried to think of any current major network show that we keep up to date with, the only ones I could think of were House, which ends this year, and Fringe, which will most likely be cancelled this year. Oh, and Supernatural, but that's CW so could disappear along with the crappy network at any given moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamOfKansas Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Shrugs, I don't get em do I? No I get hundreds of channels but I can't afford to pay the little extra for Showtime and HBO. Just never really considered them cable, but I suppose they technically are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I guess the equivalent over here is Sky. The difference though is that Sky actually make fook all of note, instead buying in nearly everything under the sun that airs in the States. Luckily there's often that much to snap up that the odd one makes its way to one of the terrestrial channels, ie. Homeland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbydan Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 watch them all on fast pass tv if you aint got cable 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I hear you mate! One of my mates has been batting on about "its always sunny..." so I finally sat down to watch it the other day with the intention of doing a marathon on the box set. Lasted 15 minutes before I wanted to smash the TV into pieces and had to turn it off. What a truly, truly awful show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamOfKansas Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Personally I like "Always Sunny" well at least the ones with Danny Devito anyway. At least it's somewhat original unlike most of American comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Or do ya'll get FX shows across the Atlantic. I pity you if you don't. I've just reserved Archer on lovefilm (is it the animated one?) I love Justified so if you mention them in the same breath they must be good. Jatched Sons of Anarchy that someone mentioned, that is awesome and I've just finished Boardwalk Empire. America isn't perfect, but some of it's TV is!

I love Justified so if you mention them in the same breath they must be good. Jatched Sons of Anarchy that someone mentioned, that is awesome and I've just finished Boardwalk Empire. America isn't perfect, but some of it's TV is! They are widely different obviously but both excellent shows originating from the same network. Archer is beautifully drawn besides the fact that's it's downright originally funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your looking for good American stuff, if your not familiar with Breaking Bad...get familiar. I'd also say Eastbound and Down as I mentioned in another topic. Mad Men is ok. Honestly just don't watch any of our big network shows besides Community(which is cancelled now I believe, it started getting too forced in the next couple of seasons), the old favorite Arrested Development, and Modern Family(which features a fellow Kansas State grad Eric Stonestreet as the big gay guy-he's a badass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already reserved Arrested Family. Breaking bad is one of the best things I've ever seen. Only seen the first 2 series yet but can't wait to see the rest. Just started Californication Series 4 and am desperate for Sons of Anarchy Series 2. Is there a Justified Series 3 on the way at all? When you say 'big networks' which ones do you mean? I'm guessing HBO is not big network then as their stuff is great. Is Fox one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
