    The Walking Dead

    This WAS really good when it was new, but it just never changes. It's just the same shit over and over again, really. There is too much suffering and dealing with the never-ending stream of zombies and constant barriers to anything good EVER happening. It's just become miserable. If find it pretty depressing now, and not much else. I think the writers are doing a poor job, basically. The story is stagnant.

    Yeah, I'm hoping that when it picks up again, it'll get back to where it was in season1. Them being on the road, everything they had....gone!
    I hope.

    Big Bang Theory.


    Completely agree. I just don't get how people can watch that show listening to those awful, fake, nerdy voices.

    Anyone not sold on Breaking Bad needs to give it a bit more time, it is a bit slow to get going but when it hits its stride it's incredible. I watched the first season thought it was ok then didn't watch any more for months until everybody I knew was raving about it so I forced myself to keep going. I just watched the very last episode today, best ending to a series I can remember.

    I cant imagine so many people arent high on the first half.

    Im only early in Season 3 and I think each and every episode so far has been dynamite. Best show ever IMO and I am very tough to please when it comes to television.


    To answer the thread... I really gotta say The Sopranos. 1st 2 seasons were dynamite, but after that it became progressively worse, sloppy, and without much direction.

    Hammered through Season 4 of Breaking Bad yesterday. I think season 3 and 4 were much better then the first two ...

    To be fair, though, I only watched the the first episode of the first season.

    The good thing about watching Breaking Bad on Netflix is I can quickly fast-forward through any "Marie" storyline scenes which seem pointless so far. The meth tweeking scenes get depressing too so I usually skip those also.

    I saw the first season of Homeland and I couldn't get hooked to it. I felt like I was forcing myself to watch it.

    I saw the first two episodes of Shameless and it bore the hell out of me.

    Yea, my Dad loved it until Charlie Sheen left. He says it's not as funny with Ashton.

    I never even tried to watch an episode with Kutcher. That show with with Sheen was awesome.

    Even with Sheen, the show started to go down in the 6th or 7th season, especially when he got engaged.

    You're probably correct on that. It was still worth watching compared to other sitcoms at the time. The early seasons were awesome and I hated John Cryer before this show.

    Yeah, I was still watching when Sheen was on there and it was still good, but not like the earlier seasons. I watched the first episode with Ashton and I still don't know how I sat through the whole episode.
