Looking for good shows - Page 2

Just started *Big Bang Theory*. Favorite episodes so far:

When that "Bazinga" guy meets the long-haired girl with glasses for the first time.

And when the "Monkees" guy makes a mechanical arm, decides to "play" with it, then has to go to the E.R. to get it detached. About as much fun as that South-Park episode about the Time-share Presentations.

Yes, I found 'Big Bang Theory' as well. I'm certainly glad I gave it a chance as it is an excellent series. Whoever writes the show really has a good sense of comedy. I don't get the 'Bazinga' reference, but the 'Monkees' guy must be Wolowitz.

Okay, just looked up Bazinga. Oh my... I never noticed Sheldon using that word...

I should of given *Big Bang Theory* more of a chance when it first started up. Sheldon Cooper now belongs right up there with Urkel (Family Matters) and Kramer (Seinfeld), IMO.

Tried watching *Vampire Diaries* and *Once upon a Time* but didn't get very far. Now trying out *Grimm* and am waiting for *The River* for next week.

I like Grimm a lot. I would give the BBC's Being Human a shot too. I loved it. I tried the American version after I saw the British but I hated it right away. If you have Netflix both versions are up on the instant watch.

I haven't watch television since Farscape was on. But I always hear through people. These are my recommendations for a picky person. (Nothing can top Farscape still).

Game of Thrones - Truely a good renditions of Martin's books. I am eagerly awaiting the second season in April.

The Walking Dead - AMC's high production quality zombie apocalypse show. Add another thumbs up from me.

30Rock - Comedic, short, and Tina Fey's work. Truly brilliant stuff.

Are you into animation/cartoons?

Adventure Time, if so.

RustySlinky · 03-08-2012, 06:47 PM

30Rock & The Office go together pretty well, IMO- But I will give Game of Thrones a try when I get the chance.

There's something called Downton Abbey over on PBS. Here it's on Sunday nights when I'm usually still at work. Haven't watched it yet because British speech tends to be more difficult for me (that movie The King's Speech is a good example) but some of the people around here are raving about it.

Heads up to everyone who's interested in multiverses, dark matter, string theory, and Higgs Boson stuff:

PBS TV's NOVA is currently airing a series of episodes called "The Fabric of the Cosmos". I've been watching and it's pretty good.

You can also watch online here:

Thanks!

OT: Host Brian Greene made a cameo on "The Big Bang Theory" where Sheldon and Amy heckled him from the audience.

2 and a half episodes in to *Revolution* now (missed the pilot). A little bummed that the show seems to be one family centric. Not thinking about stuff like if there's no electricity, then should there be any thunder storms, magnetism or static cling.

Was wondering on *Deadliest Catch* how the crabs stay alive for so long inside the hull of the boat, and how many crabs get smashed when they jump in and walk around on top of them to vacuum out the boat.

I was watching Batman on what appears to be a Spanish language science-fiction-like channel. The name currently escapes me.
