And what was your favourite new show?
- Kol Tregaskes
I've only been watching Glee. So there.
- Rodfather
I've only heard that being mentioned on FF. What's Glee about then?
- Kol Tregaskes
Probably Community first, then Glee.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Of new shows, it would probably be Glee.
- cecily
Glee's about a high school show choir, or "Glee club." It's way cooler than it sounds.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Haggis, it would have to be from that description. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Royal Pains and going to add The Good Wife still waiting on Flashforward to pick up a bit but thats not going to happen til March
- VAL D. Zone
Royal Pains
- Jeremy (on vacation)
Lost for me, I thought this the latest season really hit the mark. 24 was good again too. As for new shows, hmm, not seen a whole season throw to the end so can't comment.
- Kol Tregaskes
Go download the first episode from somewhere (iTunes, bittorrent, w/e). I guarantee you will love it like we all do. It's just really, really, really well written and acted.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOST was good this year! I always forget since I consider it part of last season. I'm REALLY looking forward to the last season.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
.. and that's how Sue.. C's it.
- Rodfather
Haggis, me too. What's the bet that they'll wake up at the end as if it was all a dream but have gained all the experience? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Community is my favorite new show and in fact tied for favorite overall with 30 Rock, since the latter had a slow start yet again. Party Down would be my second favorite new show. Pushing Daisies for special mention since it didn't finish airing till Jun 2009. I tend to think in terms of the Sept-May "seasons" for TV, but if you want to go by calendar year, I might put Pushing Daisies as top show.
- Andrew C
I've not heard of Community either. What is that about too?
- Kol Tregaskes
Royal Pains is great, White Collar is good, Community is excellent, Men of a Certain Age has started well too, and Pawn Stars is also worth watching.
- AJ Kohn
Either Family Guy or Two and a Half Men...I'm a simple man
- Morgan Haley
Community's about a community college. It's really well-constructed, well-written, well-acted... the editing is about the only thing I could carp about - there are occasionally weird edits mid-scene, as if they had done several different takes on different camera angles and didn't match them up too well. Still, it's super-solid and very funny.
- Andrew C
I'd say Star Wars Clone Wars(Is that too geeky?) and Mad Men

Oh yeah, Modern Family is good. Cougar Town isn't bad either - getting better actually. Dollhouse of course and for me, Fringe is still wickedly interesting.
- AJ Kohn
Glee. I haven't checked out Modern Family yet, though I hear it's terrific.
- Spidra Webster
Breaking Bad... thanks to everyone's recommendations!

I don't think I looked forward to any weekly episodes more this year than the second season of True Blood. New show? Parks and Recreation.

- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Fringe is awesome. Pushing Daisies was a great show, I'm annoyed that it got canceled. Love Dollhouse too. V is so-so. Flash Forward is pretty decent, but slow (like the second season of Lost slow). 30 Rock is funny and excellent. Burn Notice was quite good at first, but went downhill a bit, I think. More interesting list of shows I'll never, ever watch: Community, because it's just...

Kol, if you are able to gain access to Hulu, it's where I watch them.both. There's only 4 episodes of V and 10 episodes of FlashForward out, so you haven't missed much.
- Michael Fidler
30 Rock. I just started watching it this season and I have to say it's some of the smartest comedy on TV. I had a couple of marathon weekends of watching the previous 3 seasons to get caught up. I never laughed so hard as I did those two weekends.
- Jason Huebel
Tie between Burn Notice and Leverage.
- Alex Scoble
Burn Notice is excellent.

DOLLHOUSE
- Raphael, Raphael
Didn't like Dollhouse, nice idea but not well executed IMHO.
- Kol Tregaskes
Agree with you Kol. Dollhouse was pants. Lost, 24, The Simpsons is back on track...i swear it is....Hank was atrocious. Kelsey Grammer lost a bit of credibility there. American Dad went downhill this year so far, but a few family guys have been ok. FlashForward was good for the first 8 episodes, but it seems now its setting itself up for a few seasons which I dont mind but would of been...

I watched an episode of Modern Family, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's easy to see how some people might find it entertaining, but it's a little too close to home for me. (It's too L. A.) I also watched an episode of Glee, and found it to be original, and entertaining, but it’s not the type of show that I would look forward to week after week. However, it's clearly well made and...

I thought season 7 was pretty good though it's still following the predictable pattern of get one big boss and another bigger boss comes along. But will very enjoyable to watch. Anyone else seen this season? What did you think of it? Interesting ending.

BBC To Kill Open Source TV? - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Andrew Leyden, Mike Chelen, Steven Cains and 14 other people liked this
"The BBC is looking to encode TV listing metadata and employ a compression algorithm to circumvent piracy, ad removal and illegal copying. According to a recent blog post by the EFF's Danny O'Brien, the group wants to get mandatory DRM onto digital TV receivers via a broadcast flag. In other words, a "public service broadcaster" wants to lessen the way we consume media by forcing manufacturers to limit product playing abilities. While open source TV services like Boxee allow users to view programs over home networks regardless of the device, a broadcast flag would force all HDTV receivers to include content protection. For those of us who watch our programs online, this could pose a serious problem."

Trouble is, Robert, I guess the BBC see it like Record Labels. They dont' mind if you watch it, but don't want you to do anything else with it.

A compromise was reached of course, and hopefully it will be in this case. Although I'm not in...

UK really needs to redesign it's commercial TV platform. As it stands the only real OTA commercial broadcaster is Channel 5. ITV splits the UK into several regions, Channel 4 is government owned and the BBC is funded by the taxpayer. A ridiculous state of affairs.

these restrictions end up causing the most trouble for legitimate users. like with pc game cds, players are inconvenienced while crackers bypass the system

It's been a while since I first saw this now. I seem to remember watching the miniseries & thinking it was interesting, however I think it wasn't until "Water" that I really became hooked. Probably the final 2 parter is the best of series one. That and the 1st 4 or so episodes of series 2 redefined dramatic scifi tv for me anyway. There have since been other developments of course with Doctor Who and Torchwood both having raised the bar since. BSG also in later series at times changed the landscape again.

I'm cringing!!!

Alan sugar looked like he was chewing a bee.
- Paul Kinlan
LOL!
- Kol Tregaskes
Presentation is crap. Alan always looks like that dude.
- Paul Rawlings
The box is great and possibly the price but the rest is not looking good.
- Kol Tregaskes
Pricing is cheaper tho and box might be better. Advert is shocking. :)
- Paul Rawlings
Good advert.
- Kol Tregaskes
I actually like the advert
- Paul Kinlan
Here come the questions... ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I knew Paul Kinlan you wouldnt get my SHOCKING joke about the advert
- Paul Rawlings
Not my kind of show, but I guess Alan Sugar is the UK's answer to Donald Trump. Mind you I still remember that crap hi-fi I bought 30 years ago. Served me right to buy Amstrad!
- Ian May
I did get the joke but it wasn't funny
- Paul Kinlan
That didn't go as bad as I thought it might have done.
- Kol Tregaskes
Haha, Ian. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
OK, what do you think now? Kate or Yasmina?
- Kol Tregaskes
Kate to win, surely? At least on the basis of the final!
- Martin Bryant
I would say so.
- Kol Tregaskes
Not sure... probably kate
- Paul Kinlan
bets on kate
- Paul Rawlings
did you notice mona and nura (if that is how you spell it) weren't there.
- Paul Kinlan
OK.
- Kol Tregaskes
Nope, there were 15 at the start.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm backing Kate, purely from a pov that if I had to work with one of them, I reckon she'd be easier to get on with.
- alison gow
erm. Not that I'm hoping to *ever* work with either of them...
- alison gow
"shocking chocolates", LOL
- Kol Tregaskes
lol, I am the other way around, I think yasmina would be easier to get on with.
- Paul Kinlan
moment of truth.
- Paul Rawlings
Still think it's Kate but very close. Either could be the apprentice.
- Kol Tregaskes
Here we go.
- Kol Tregaskes
Nooo!
- Kol Tregaskes
I said Yasmina
- Paul Kinlan
Yasmeena, always knew it wud be. lol
- Paul Rawlings
He's made a mistake.
- Kol Tregaskes
I hope Alan hires Kate anyway, he's done it in the past.
- Kol Tregaskes
Very brave to hire anyone with such scary thin lips.
- alison gow
Didn't see the final, but I've seen some of the previous episodes. I thought that both Kate and Yasmina were both great candidates and I don't think I could have chosen between them. I thought that Kate was more likeable early on, but I thought that Yasmina was probably the smartest. They also have the added advantage of being good window dressing.

This makes sense, a hot 27 year old and an Old man.

Wow. They've certainly all had their hair done. They looked much less showbiz on the show.

Wow, that'll be the day. »A BBC spokesperson said: “There are a significant number of obstacles to extending this commercially to other countries, including international rights clearance. These obstacles present significant difficulties and for this reason there are no firm plans for a specific international BBC iPlayer, but audiences can watch BBC content outside the UK through numerous BBC Worldwide content deals with online partners such as iTunes."«

I'm not good at reviews but will try my best to post something about each episode over the days/weeks here. Warning spoilers will be here if you've not see the series.
- Kol Tregaskes
Im bang up to date with it all. I download it from the states each week :)
- Simon Wicks
Episode 1: so the 'others' have a little town and have been there all this time.
- Kol Tregaskes
season 3? Season 5 is about to end. I love BitTorrent. I own the first 3 seasons on DVD though. Lost is worth it.
- Rahul Das
I'm up to date on Season 5. Loving it!
- Martin Bryant
Episode 3: OK, a little lost (excuse the pun), what happened previously about not pressing the button in the hatch?
- Kol Tregaskes
You'll find out about the not pressing the button thing later.
- Admiral Anika
Episode 3: OK, not it's gone weird (well weirder) why is John tripping out?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm nearing the end of it. Brilliant season :)
- Dominic Dale
Anika, OK, it's been so long since I've seen season 2.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, when I say later, I mean like Seaons 4 or maybe even 5. :)
- Admiral Anika
Episode 3: Confused, John just suddenly wants to trip out.
- Kol Tregaskes
Anika, OK. :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 3: Here comes the polar bear!
- Kol Tregaskes
Season Three is where the fans are separated from the occasional viewers.I love all of them, and season three is no exception!.
- Michael Fidler
LOL I just watched this episode a couple of weeks ago and yeah, it was pretty trippy. It doesn't make sense until you see subsequent episodes and even then, not so much.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, I think I understand but a little vague though. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
season three is where the delusional are separated from the rational. it's one of the worst seasons of any television show made ever and is the point where the series goes completely off the rails after the mixed effort that was season 2.
- Richard Lawler
I completely disagree, Richard. Season 3 was weird, yes, but it was pivotal. Without Season 3, the subsequent seasons would make no sense. I know when I was watching it, I was more annoyed at all the new questions and storylines it was opening, but now it makes so much more sense.
- Admiral Anika
We're in the middle of Season 2, so far we're enjoying it.
- Heather Solos
Heather, be careful here then, spoilers are abound on this thread (hint don't read my next comment...).
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 4: Ow two islands!. OK, that's it for today, 4 episodes 1 DVD. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
the subsequent seasons don't make any sense anyway. Season 3 gets you prepared for the idea that the writers have no idea where the show is going and are just jerking you around until the finale with love triangles, so there's that.
- Richard Lawler
Yeah I'm a long way behind. I've been waiting to watch these with my brother for eons but given up and will go through season 3 and 4 (probably 1 disc per day :-)).
- Kol Tregaskes
No worries, the kids haven't let me sleep the last two nights, my short term memory is shot to hell right now.

I'm starting season 3 too. Well I've been starting season 3 for 2 years, but I'll get to it!

i am 'lostie' fanatic lol we are just at the end of season 5, season 6 which will start next year is the very last season *sob* it has for me been the best ever program i have ever watched!

Tatty, I didn't know season 6 was the last but it will be nice to finally get to the bottom of all this. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Gonna watch it in comming weaks.
- امیر؟
Amir, cool. Worth watching.
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 12: Do we think that Sawyer was a little upset they came back? He was sort of the leader of the pack but was shortly lived now Jack is back as leader. Just a thought. His expression was quite mixed when they came back on the beach again, wasn't it?
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 17: I just can't get over many how people lie in this show. Really bad! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 18: What made Juliette so bad? I don't think it's been explained. She was clearly a good person before coming to the island.
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 21: This is the problem with Heroes, with Lost it keeps you wanting to watch more + you get emotionally attached with characters - I was almost choked about Charlie this episode. I get nothing like this from Heroes. With Lost you can feel the build up to the end of the series, there is definite purpose. Heroes is almost a chore to watch and drags on way too much in places. Let's hope Lost carries on as it does and that Heroes improves (a lot) from the 5th series.
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 23: Wow, it's getting serious now. Body counting rising!
- Kol Tregaskes
Episode 23: Very interesting ending, so they *do* get off the island, just not yet.

Nope, they aired in the US last night. I download it in HD. Ummmmmmm HD :) Last of the show untill next year now! Arghhh

Yup, naughty i know, but SD just doesnt cut it since i got a HDTV, and i dont have Sky HD, so this is the only way :)
