Other Television Series Thread

The Venture Brothers is amazing, and redeems Adult Swim by its very existence.

But, yeah, the rest is kinda crap. Aside from Metalocalypse and The Boondocks, which I still find hilarious, I don't find a whole lot worth tuning in for.

That being said: Duckman. Edgy and hilarious while Adult Swim was still in diapers.

Venture Brothers is pretty much the only series I watch. I barely watch any TV, which may or not be ironic considering I work at a TV station. The only other series I like are The Mighty Boosh, Screenwipe and any Derren Brown series that's on. I do like Mythbusters though.

What do people think of Better off Ted? Some parts were lame, but the malfunctioning sensor episode was funny and well-executed in an understated way. And Portia de Rossi has some kind of death grip on my testes (in a good way).

Operation White Shadow... that episode was great. I think the show is pretty good overall, haven't watched a whole lot yet though, only like 4 eps.

Arrested Development was great, hopefully they do have a movie.

How I Met Your Mother is brilliant, enough said.

And I for one still watch Smallville. Yeah thats right, its still on. Season 9 starts on Sept. 25th, and the season 8 DVD set I just picked up today. Consider this, if it gets signed for a tenth season (which is being rumored) then it will have lasted as long a Friends... I'm not sure what to say about that, even though Smallville still remains my favourite show.

Supernatural is also quickly becoming one of my favourite shows.

Friends, Seinfeld, Heroes, Psyche, Angel, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Scrubs, Burn Notice, Chuck... and more I can't think of at the moment round out my list of good TV.

I love The Mighty Boosh.

I believe I heard somewhere that Chad Concelmo was on a game show where he had to do that (and lost). Anyone know if I'm right, and which show it was?

It was Dog Eat Dog, I have been trying to find that episode online. No luck yet.

Wait really? Yesterday I learn that he worked for Blind Date and has a VHS tape full of clips of people having sex that were edited out of the show and now I learn he was on Dog Eat Dog? AMAZING.

I miss Futurama too morty :< . I had heard a rumour quite a while back that they were gonna make new ones, but then it just never happened. Highly disappointing.

When are they making Metalocalypse season 3? Excellent question! Just look at how long we had to wait for the Soundtrack to season 2 to come out, might be an indication as to where their priorities aren't. Unfortunately, could be a while. @Gatsby, my brother is an avid hater of metal music as well, but I nonetheless forced an episode on him. He's been hooked ever since. It really isn't all about the music in the show. If you don't watch at least one episode your really only denying yourself some good humor.

As far as good random finds go, my list is as follows:
GTO- Excellent anime, also proof that it CAN be done WITHOUT constant sword battles and pools of blood!
Hellsing- Favorite. Anime. EVAR.
Bones- It's got it's moments.
Scrubs- Explanation unnecessary.
Lock'n'load- Ok fine it isn't necessarily a series, but idfc. Lee Ermey can teach me about tanks and guns any day of the fuckin week.
<sigh> Not my proudest moment ever, but, here goes: Avatar, the last airbender. The story just gets so damn interesting. I just wish it were done in a more mature style, and not such a kid show. Is ONE death so much to ask for!

My favorite season finale ever? Cowboy Bebop. When spike picks up a shotgun, its business time.

It's happening! Comedy Central ordered a new season.

@ SyKo

New Futurama is still a go last I heard, no idea when they are coming out though.

Also,I think anyone who gave Avatar, the last airbender a fair chance really enjoyed it. Don't be ashamed.

Also also, I love Cowboy Bebop, if you don't think you like anime, you haven't watched this one.

[FWhipple]

I'm not ashamed. I tore through all three seasons in about a week and loved every bit of it.

Some other favorites of mine are:
Scrubs
House
Chuck
Nigh anything on sportscenter as long as they're not talking about favre

[Vahnati]

I feel better in about 4 different ways now. Glad to see other people who gave a "children's" show a fair chance and enjoyed it, but no news could make me happier than to hear futurama is still a go! I'll drink to that.

@zodiac Glad you enjoyed it, although I can't think of a single person who's seen it that didn't. If you haven't however looked into Hellsing, I highly recommend, no, make that ORDER you to look into it. They only ever made 1 season since it didn't hit big in japan, but I heard that because of it's high popularity in the states they were gonna make a season 2 after all. Haven't heard anything about it since. Really disappointing if they don't :<

Yes sir! /salutes

I'm just watching old episodes of Scrubs and Cowboy Bebop. Two of my favorite shows of all time. I was really sad when Scrubs ended, it was a hilarious show. House is okay, too. And I watch Bones from time to time. Other than that, I don't really keep up with television.

[Vahnati]

Really? I thought I'd seen Scrubs episodes that were made this year. I thought they were still making episodes, but I caught one and it seemed to be mostly about a new group of interns. The classics were still there sparingly, but mostly about the new guys. Seemed to be going downhill, but that's just the last 10 minutes that I caught. Wasn't aware they stopped making episodes altogether though.

So you'll only be watching about five minutes of Sportscenter a day this fall.

*sigh*

About Scrubs, it's not over per se but it'll be drastically different. JD will be gone and the show will focus on a bunch of new interns who are being taught by Turk and Dr. Cox.

Kind of like Saved by the Bell: The College Years, minus screech

[Vahnati]

Lol. I hate football so much. And that's really all america focuses on, so by extension, I hate most all sports. I'll watch a decent game of hockey though. It's just too bad they discourage fighting nowadays. I hardly ever hear of a good fight in current hockey games. Those old ones were pretty good though. Full team on team battles. Priceless.

AW HELL NO! JD made that fuckin show his bitch. No jd, no scrubs. I refuse to watch. Although Cox will always be a personal hero, you just can't have scrubs without JD.

Yeah, I miss "old time" hockey as well. Not sure why they are so adament on getting rid of fighting, its a huge part of the game imo, and actually went a long way to protect the leagues star players. Now it seems the NHL would rather have dirty cheap shots and injuries. Still love my hockey though.

Wings or Avalanche? (This makes ALL the difference)

Leafs, but if I had to choose, Aves, back in the glory days of Roy, Sakic, Forsberg and good ol Claude Lemieux, that dirty dirty sob.
