Just started watching Band of Brothers box set..  :bowdown:
I really enjoyed The Pacific, you should try that afterwards. :)
The Pacific was good but nowhere near as good as Band of Brothers. The action scenes in BOB seemed to be much larger budget, but i heard both series had the same budget.

Chuck is just fantastic brain-off-cheese. Although I think its gone into a mid-season break which is annoying :/

Ahh Futurama :)

Ive tried watching True Blood a couple of times but I just cannot get into it. I dont know what it is but something just grates on me in that series. That said, seeing that my choices are somewhat limited, perhaps Ill try again :)

Band of Brothers and The Pacific are both awesome but Id have to agree that BoB has something that makes it a little more special.

Lie to Me is good, although I think theyre already starting to struggle for new story lines :s

The Mentalist is pretty good too but I think theyre avoid the main "Red John" story line a little bit too much. It almost feels like its going to go like the X-Files did (only it wont be as good) :)

So basically Ill be taking a look at:
True Blood, Burn Notice and Justified

And just maybe Ill get a life too ;)


Oh and @ Sam. LOL, none of the "why?" posts on the internet made you change your mind about getting into Lost then ?

The Pacific was nowhere near as good as Band Of Brothers. In fact i was a bit disappointed with it really.

Other than that Ive been watching a bit of Justified and Stargate Universe when it was on. Considering trying out Burn Notice.

Is it just me or have TV series gone downhill in the last couple of years? I remember there used to be at least 4 good episodes to watch on saturdays. Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, BSG, Scrubs, Heroes etc. Now it just seems that theres nothing really to look forward to

Ive not really noticed too much of a decline in programming, what I have noticed however is the increasing number of "breaks". This all seemed to start around about the time of the writers strikes. Before a season would run from start to finish, be it all 12 eps or all 20-24 etc.

Now it seems if its a 12 ep season 6 eps in itll stop for a few weeks. if its a 20-24 ep season theyll stop it mid way through for a few months.

And now it seems theyve taken it one step further with a few series starting a new season and then being "on break" for a week 3 eps in.

Bit like chuck, brain off TV.

Also tempted to get House from Season1 since I never saw that from the start.

I was an episode of Warehouse 13 but it didnt hook me, its a shame it looked like a good show before i watched it.

Another vote for Burn Notice and True Blood.
 
 I’m currently working my way through Star Trek Enterprise (nearly at the end of the 3rd series ), it really isn’t as bad as I seem to remember people making out at the time, granted it isn’t Voyager or DS9 but is better than most of the current crop of drivel coming out under the banner of Sci-fi! ..SG Universe being the prime example.

Will have to have give Justified a look.

I think Enterprise was an okay standalone show, but it just never really felt like it belonged to the Trek franchise and some of the retcons it introduced were unforgivable.
