I lurked for months before I ever started posting. It's pretty hard joining a new forum like this where lots of people know each other IRL. Although I have made a new bff in CHD.

Thank You! I knew there was one show I'd been meaning to get going on that had a good few seasons.

[The Situation]

'The Trip' was a very good series this year Kev. Only six episodes but well worth the watch.

[eagle eye]

Just love this pic. [NSFW=][/NSFW]

Seen that when it was on, yep very good alright. Problem with DLing and watching so much TV is often trying to think of new stuff to get (often end up rewatching The West Wing)

Yeah a little strange but I can understand reasons to just lurk over getting involved, it can be pretty daunting to just jump.

Cant believe I left out BSG from my list of stuff I'd watched, top notch. FNL is on the list, seen a lot of the others, must check out Numbers.

dexter hasn't been mentioned nor spartacus for sure. both well worth a watch

[tylerdurden94]

Some new Batman news pretty happy about his

The speculation is over and sometimes, rumors are true. Variety is reporting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is indeed playing Alberto Falcone, son of former mob boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson) in Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises. We knew that Gordon-Levitt was cast in the film in early February and we speculated that the role could be Falcone a few days after. Carmine Falcone was a major villain in Nolan’s 2005 film Batman Begins and his son, Alberto, is believed to be Holiday, the main villain in one of Nolan’s favorite and most referenced Batman stories: The Long Halloween.

Joining Tom Hardy as well should be pretty awesome, forgot he was in Black Hawk Down just rewatched that last night.

In tv news for The Walking Dead.

Preparations are under way for a darker, bloodier season two of The Walking Dead. And now it seems that series producer/creator Frank Darabont may bring in his old compatriot Stephen King to write an episode. During a Walking Dead panel at C2E2 in Chicago over the weekend, actress Laurie Holden dropped word that Stephen King would be writing an episode.

FNL is brilliant, Numbers is pretty solid as well, check out Southland/Party Down/Community/Modern Family/Sleeper Cell

[A_CitizenErased]

Right lads, Question.... Best TV show of all time?

League of Gentlemen by a million miles for me.

Definitely "Leave it to Mrs O'Brien".

Only a couple of weeks ago somebody mentioned The Good Wife on here. I had heard the name but it sounded like something I would never watch. So when somebody mentioned it was quite good and a legal drama I said I'd give it a go. I have to say I've been impressed. Its only just coming to the end of its second season but I recommend it.

Yep seen them both

West Wing
Sopranos
The Wire

In that order

As someone who was a lurker for a year, it was more laziness than anything else that stopped me posting. The BBV is a great read, even if you're not contributing to it. It's like all of the internet condensed into one handy thread. There's not much that happens in terms of news, sport, tv and just funny pics/videos that doesn't get covered in here.

It took the lure of a Snake trophy to finally get me to sign up.. Once I finally obtained that, I said fuck it, might as well join in! Have to say it's quite good fun!

I believe Friday night lights is the nuts(according to here anyway)
I'm about to light that one up.

awesome series- gutted it's over!!!

[Bubbleking]

anyone who doesn't think The Wire is the GOAT TV show is just wrong. I don't care if its your opinion you're just wrong

[playuppompey pompeyplayup]

first couple of seasons of 24 has to be up there with the best

[Sirtoyou]

I'm currently going through the Yes Minister/Prime Minister boxset and it's as funny and relevant now as it ever was.Really funny show.

[Strewelpeter]

Don't see Deadwood on that list, its second only to the Wire.

Treme is great just one season so far.

Big love is worth a look.

[Caf]

Currently watching the last season of The Wire, top class imo but I haven't watched nearly as many TV shows as some folk, I don't mind being behind the times but know I'll enjoy catching up on some the others that get mentioned around here.

[6starpool]

The League of Gentlemen is gick.

[davepoke/her]

Ross Kemp: Extreme world starting in a couple of mins on Sky1. Usually a very good watch.

[Silver-Tiger]

Excellent, can't wait to give it a go.

[A_CitizenErased]

[thedini]

Blackmarket Ireland is about to start on TV3 about the Smithfield fair.

[RichieM]

I would also throw Rome in their for you to watch Kev. one of my favourites and as a HBO show you will get your fill of gore and titties

[shrapnel]

Excellent, can't wait to give it a go.

i'm assuming you've watched hard knocks already? i'm a big casual fan (if that makes any sense) of american football, but i have to say that series (all 7 of them) blew me away (and taught me a hell of a lot about the game and how good these guys are)

[jack90210]

Kev Friday Night Lights without doubt! 5 excellent seasons. Freaked its over.

Seinfeld. Then Curb your enthusiasm.

Re: TV shows.

Was all the talk about 'Community' here a giant level I fell for? I'm up to episode 20, and I've laughed once. I know I've been a bit grumpy of late, but other than realizing Chevy Chase is still alive ( I really thought he died a while back), I'm not getting the love

I got to eight episodes before I realised I was the victim of a sick joke.

Have to big up Misfits again here. Sounds carppy but is so stylishly made and really dark humour-one of my fav shows for sure.
