I would go 4,2----1------------3

and ya Lithgow has to be a slam dunk for supporting actor, he was brilliant. Will be tough for MCH or the show to get it but you never know, the Golden Globes sometimes go against the "favorite" for example Anna Paquin winning last year for True Blood and Gabriel Byrne winning for In Treatment when the favorites to win were Jon Hamm and January Jones.

I agree, 2 was better than 1 and 4 was the best.

As far as the GG's, HPO shows seem to win the cable network wars...a little passing of the buck maybe. The Saprano's kept winning long after the show got stale.

I've never seen a single episode. Might be something to do this summer, watch the entire series.

I was referring to The Sopranos...probably quoted the wrong post.

I'm up on Dexter! Don't cry for me!

Season 4 finale will probably go down as one of the most shocking twist in television history. I honestly can't remember another tv show that was able to stun me this badly. I sat in front of the screen for a good 10 minutes with this shocked expression on my face. My gf gasped loudly and started freaking out.

I will admit The Sopranos was a little slow to start season 6 (I won't say why or it will ruin it) and you may not heard how the series ended so I'll stay away from that too.

I guess all I'll say is that over the series I loved and hated almost every major character (except for a few of the real dbags - trust me you'll know who I mean when you watch it). Especially Meadow and Carmella. Just thinking about it is making my blood boil. Such hypocrites.

Obviously most of the lead male characters are easy to like but also despicable, after all they are gangsters.

CP wouldn't be very fun if people agreed with me all the time. I'll argue to the death if they don't but that is why I'm here.

Do you watch 24?

YourMother · 12-17-2009, 04:41 PM

Hey guys, with Dexter done for the season and Lost not starting up again for a couple months I need a new show to get into so I'm lookin for the CP faithful to point me in the right direction. Got any idea's? I'll watch anything ranging from comedy to drama, not really big into sci-fi and such tho.

Shows I have seen in their entirety:

Lost
The Office
Arrested Development
Dexter
Weeds
Breaking Bad
Freaks and Geeks
South Park
Band of Brothers
Entourage

I've been looking into getting into the Sopranos or something like Heroes. Yay or nay?

DrJ · 12-17-2009, 04:47 PM

Heroes first season was amazing IMO.

I think the next step is either True Blood or Band of Brothers.

Back to Dexter: I think they could start the season with Rita's funeral/not much of a time delay from season 4. I definitely agree that Quinn will direct suspicions towards Dexter and I can see Debra finding out more about Dexter's "extracurriculars."

Oh yea, I've been BOB...gotta add it to the list and yea I've heard that Heroes was unreal initially but then went to crap so I've been hesitant to get into it.

As far as True Blood goes, isn't that a vampire show? Will I not be ridiculed and have tacos thrown at me for watching such a show?

GreenTeaFrapp · 12-17-2009, 05:04 PM

The Wire.

It's fantastic.

Only by people who don't like bad ass vampires, a pretty good story line and lots of boobies.

Ya I was thinking of big shocks in tv shows and while the end of this season was a big one I think 24 has had a bigger one and Lost has had multiple

Haha, I don't know how I forgot about that one...fixed.

What would u recommend between Always Sunny and How I met your mother...I watched the first couple seasons of HIMYM but I didn't like it so much, I've been hearing a lot about it as of late so has it gotten better? Barney and Jason Segel alone would make me consider getting back into it.
