All Things: TELEVISON

The Office actually had the camera crew involved in the episode at the end. Looks like they are setting up a Jim/Pam breakup that magically gets resolved for the finale.

I saw that and that entire epsiode I kept thinking "what the hell are they doing with this show?"

I mean the show hasn't been the same since they got Jim and Pam together anyway and then Steve Carrel left and etc etc etc but this weeks episode was just... joyless. And not in a fun awkward way like some of the British episodes. But just a grinding depressing half hour of television and then that fight between Jim and Pam at the end was............

I mean it was (I felt) really well performed and felt true... but.... it was NOT "The Office". And then the reveal of the sound guy... it was like hey why are you waiting til NOW to take this show in a new interesting direction.

Blarf.
 
Yeah that scene with Jim going off was really weird..

Daryl electrocuting the fish last week, however, was quite humorous.

Will Andy ever come back?

Watched the American Horror Story: Asylum finale over the weekend. Not necessarily a perfect show, but I don't think I'll enjoy any other ride as much this television season.
 
SyFy Mondays must be pretty cool down in the US: Continuum followed by Lost Girl. Go Canada! :)
 
Hey Bob8880...you are a fellow bbcamerica guy...you been watching Ripper Street? ****ing kickass. Bron(from GoT) awesome as a turn of the century...bobby? The first 10 minutes has him picking a tooth out of his knuckle in a bear knuckle boxing match. Highest recoomendation, and I am not alone. Got an order already for a second season.


Banshee...ready to give up. Trash...yet not fun trash. Really just trash. How nobody has called the 'sheriff' on his ridiculous lawbreaking is...unacceptable. GOD I want to like this show. Making it very very hard. And the chick on the show is all knuckles...just not very attractive.

I like Ripper Street. That guy running all the kids who killed the toy shop worker was scary. My only complaint - freakin uverse doesn't carry bbcamerica in HD yet.

Banshee - does it look like he's always chewing tobacco, or his chin is swollen?
She might be all knuckles, but that head amish mafia guy's niece isn't...

Yeah...good point about the niece. Fair enough. The lead is kinda a stiff too. I will keep watching but it's on a real short leash. Got re-upped for a second season. Hopefully they will cut loose and go full stoopid. I guess that's my complaint. It's a low rent show. High concept with soap opera-ish actors. Cut loose. Embrace it and just go over the top. Don't pretend to be Shakespear. The tranny it guy...so much potential for camp and they have wasted it so far. Turn up the volume!!!!!
 
I thought the Americans was OK to good. A little slow but I know they were establishing the characters. I grew up in that era so I'm not sure if younger people even care about the subject. I will watch it a few times to see if I get hooked. I'm not sure how they can maintain the main premise though.
 
All I have to say about Banshee is when the lead goes into crazy mode I can't stop giggling at the ridiculousness of his facial expressions. I thought last week's episode was so bad and this week wasn't much better. Not sure why but I felt the pilot was world's better than the following episodes.

Fortunately, on Spartacus I continue to cheer throughout the bloodletting.
