Me and the GF are watching it, but, there's something about Poppy Montgomery that makes the show hard to watch.

I looked at the ratings and after the 2nd week, I believe it was near the bottom. Can not open that link at work.

American Horror Story was creepy to the max. I want to keep watching, but I don't.

When watching Ms. Montgomery, the show ain't the only thing that is hard.

NSFW!

The 3rd episode of Pan Am sucked. Lacking Mad Men and since the Playboy Club sucked so bad I was hoping to get my throwback fix from Pan Am but for some god awful reason they're letting the spy sub-plot dominate the show.

They need to focus on other stuff and let the spy sub-plot be a quicky 5 minutes per episode so that there is some excitement here and there.

There are a lot of opportunitities for Forest Gump style tie-ins. That is to say the stewardessess or the pilots can have unintentional effects on historical events based on the passengers on their flights.

3rd Show canceled is "Charlie’s Angels"

CaptainCrunch · 10-14-2011, 04:24 PM

No surprise there

Expect a bunch more when the rest of the returning shows return.

Not even remotely surprised. I watched a couple minutes of the pilot, until they introduced Bosley, and then I turned the channel. Caught a minute of the last episode and it was just bad. Not every old popular show needs to be remade!

I thought Fringe tonight (really last night) was excellent. It had a different vibe to it, the shots were tighter, the story was more focused and personal. Good stuff.

I watched literally one scene in Charlie's Angels and turned it off. Minka Kelly is smoking hot, but that is worse than Playboy Club, and I only watched that show for Amber Heard.

Why do all the really hot chicks choose such awful shows to go on? Never mind, they can't act so they never get on the good shows.

I just watched the latest episode of Revenge. I do like the show, but at the same time, there's something off about it. I feel like they don't build up the revenge enough. They show a little clip about the awful thing the person did, but that's it. I am sure the character gets some sense of payback, but ultimately as a viewer, it's over too quick. Like with this last one, they intro the doctor and then by the end of it, it's done. They need to start drawing it out more.

That is exactly what is going to start happening, beginning in episode 5.

An interview with Emily VanCamp (Emily Thorne), with some mild teasing spoilers.

I've heard good things about 'Revenge' so i will check it out. Was going to watch 'Terra Nova', but this thread has changed my mind.

I was excited for 'Charlies's Angels' and was expecting a lot of tongue-in-cheek humour and shlock. It is horrible, and took itself way too seriously and not nearly enough T&A. Why the producers would have Minka Kelly wearing baggy dresses is beyond me. It deserved to get cancelled.

I also had high hopes for 'Person of Interest', but it was way too dull. I couldn't even get through the 2nd episode.

I was enjoying the 'Playboy Club' so a bit disappointed it got cancelled, but even after the three episodes the conceit was wearing thin. 'Pan Am' isn't bad, if a little all over the map (pun intended). Might stick with it.

Highlights of the year for me so far include 'The League', 'Parks and Recreation', and 'Happy Endings' (which is quickly moving up my list of best comedies).

'Chuck' premieres at month's end, but I think I will wait 'til the season is done before I tune in.

The Walking Dead starts tonight for those interested.

Table 5 · 10-16-2011, 08:54 PM

Homeland still good as ever. And not just because of the continuous sweater meat.

I think it's a decent show, episode 4 was especially good. I like the dark humour.

I finally gave this one a try last night and it was really creepy! Even the opening theme song had me on edge!

Boblobla · 10-17-2011, 12:33 PM

I am so happy I am easily entertained and I can watch ####ty shows like Terra Nova and enjoy them.

What were you guys expecting? What dinosaur show/movie has set the bar so high with quality acting and super in-depth story?

OilKiller · 10-17-2011, 04:39 PM

Just finishing watching the first two episodes of American Horror Story.

Have a new favourite show.

Primeval, find it on netflix.

3rd episode of Homeland was a letdown for me. It was great in some parts, and really, really, I mean really great in others. A few scenes really bugged me, but still excellent show I'll keep watching.
