Favourite TV series
« on: October 28, 2013, 07:54:43 PM »
I must confess to being a bit of a movie buff and I love to read..........I dislike most TV as a general rule, especially so the rigged talent quests and reality crapola like big brother that they pedal.

If I do watch TV it tends to be something that is a true distraction. I tend to watch stuff I can download, no adverts etc.
current faves are in no particular order :) :

The Walking dead - new season just started
Strike Back - finished
Falling Skies - finished
Grimm - awaiting next season

So, What are you lot watching when you are trapped in domestic servitude and cannot shed the entrapments of modern life and go bush?

can not wait for the next season of Game of Thrones.

Walking dead was getting great last season, although it looks like it is sliding back into the long dialog and deep and meaningful episodes. I hope this isn't true, just give me some old fashioned zombie killing without all the talking :)

Sons of Anarchy is up there
The Good Wife is an easy watch also

Whale Wars starts again on 1 dec (for those not familiar this show follows the that dude from the steve irwin ship getting in the way of the Japanese whalers. It is some interesting viewing, those dudes are crazy)



Cheers

Walking dead for me,

I just imagine... what if all the people I dislike became zombies I could chop their heads of with an axe and not get in trouble for it ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh and sometimes I follow the story line but mostly I just imagine what if , and sometimes I think " if they were not infected I could pretend I thought they were a zombie and kill em anyway" seems fair to err on the side of caution if the world was ending right. ;D ;D ;D

I too enjoy The Walking Dead ... but there isn't much else to watch these days.  I do enjoy a good David Attenborough series.  I need something with substance ... not really into reality ... it gets boring quickly for me.  Spicks & Specs, Rockwiz, for a good laugh ... not enough of this sort of show anymore ... Iron Chef ... for something different.

But the oldies are still good in this day and age.  I absolutely loved Kenny Everett's Video Show, The Goodies, Get Smart and all those ABC shows I enjoyed as a kid ... Still enjoy Dr Who ... which really says something about the show ... how many others are still running 50 years on?
