Klaus the entire run of Psych is eight series 🙂, that'd take me about two years.

Isn't it comfortable to know what you'll be doing for the next two years? 🙂

😆 It'd bring a sprinkling of routine, that's true.

Finally got around to watching season 4 of Boardwalk empire. Had forgotten how much I like this show. Brilliant stuff.

Rex

I haven't seen it yet. I guess I'll come around to it sooner or later.

One thing I miss from The West Wing so far - everyone is likable. The show misses an asshole or two.

Kel Varnsen

West Wing is arguably my favorite show ever, even though it takes place in a liberal fantasy world.

Klaus

The quality of both the writing and the acting is absurdly high. I can't think of a single weak episode.

Rex: Whatever you do, make sure you're watching the HD version of the show. It's hard to come by but there's a complete torrent somewhere on pirate bay. Browse around a little and you'll find it. The DVD boxes (or the DVD rips for that matter) simply won't do; the source is the cropped 4:3 video master which looks like utter shit in every conceivable way. The show was actually made in widescreen and then cropped down to 4:3 for some weird reason. That we've never gotten a good official release of The West Wing is yet another crime against humanity to add to the long list that NBC are ticking up.

Rex

I'm watching the DVD box...

Started watching the IT Crowd. I used to glance at it and think it was a silly show but after watching one episode properly i decided to give it a go and its actually hilarious in parts. Each episode is a little over 20 minutes as well so its very easy to get through.

Yeah I never bothered with it the first time around but I get a good laugh out of it now.
The three main characters make it very watchable.

In all the great new TV series around there is a dearth of great comedy, Fresh Meat's the only standout one for me - have I missed something else over the past 12 months?

Watched the first couple of episodes of the IT Crowd over the weekend. Sold on it already.

LOL it's great isn't it

When you're finished I recommend watching Peep Show if you haven't already

I watched Treme season two last week, having watched the first season as far back as 2010.

Can't believe I left it so long. Excellent, mature show and story wise it really felt like it was hitting its stride after season one, which I also loved but which didn't have the same serial drama hooks.

And great music in every other scene.

Going to hunt down the rest of it now.

RocktheCasbah

Yes, I know, and love, Peep Show. Thought I haven't watched all of it.

goon

Decided to watch The Thick of It as I've seen it talked about on here a few times.... fucking hilarious 😆

'The disgruntled civil servant story was made up by a disgruntled civil servant' 😆

Kel Varnsen

Second best comedy show ever. Love AD.

QuincyAbeyie

Should never have made that last season, though.

Armor

What is the best Kel?

Kel Varnsen

Seinfeld.

Edit.

Goes like this:

seinfeld
arrested development
it's always sunny in philadelphia

Rex

Love Seinfeld!

Armor

Never did anything for me but maybe i didn't give it enough time. I like Curb Your Enthusiasm though.

goon

Seinfeld is great, and I'm surprised you didn't like it if you like Curb as the humour is very similar, albeit presented in a different way. First few episodes were not amazing though, I would have given up on it if I didn't have anything else to watch at the time.

Klaus

I've rewatched John Adams this summer. It's such a class production in terms of actors, story and scenery, and such an utter waste of good film in terms of directing. Whoever decided that a tilted camera plane and shaky handhelds should be the norm in every scene ought to be shot in the balls. It almost - almost - ruins one of the greatest tv productions ever.

AD burned the brighest but was the most shortlived. the most recent season was inconsistent but had some brilliant moments
