Quality TV Shows

Absolutely brutal 1st episode of new Sons of Anarchy series last Wednesday.

The Walking Dead  - new episodes started last week. Thank goodness for TVNZ ondemand

quite getting into 'banshee' at the mo but quite like 'the hour'  and the 'walking dead' too

Just started re-watching Generation Kill yesterday. Quality!

Derek - Ricky Gervais' new show is absolutely brilliant. Very morbid/sad/depressing yet hilariously funny. Can find it with a quick "watch derek" search on Google.

Elementary anyone? I'm in! 

I watched it first time around a few years ago.  It's so good that I bought on DVD.  Stay frosty.  We're Oscar Mike.

Am watching The Americans.

I found The Walking Dead at Marbecks today. Season 1 & 2 on blu-ray. $80 though, a bit steep. I'm quite getting into Banshee too but I've missed a couple of episodes. Sunny Skies on TV3 is pretty bloody good too. 

I've been watching the Following. I quite like it, dare I say even Kevin Bacon.

Anyone else going to watch Doctor Who at The Embassy tonight?

Youtube is triffic.

Thanks to Stevo's deluded optimism in trying to succeed where Guderian failed I have stumbled across the old BBC War and Peace series (with a young Anthony Hopkins and the radiant Morag Hood - RIP).

A old time favourite and the Imperial Russian anthem as the theme music is brill

Anyone been watching Catfish on MTV? Ha. Pretty funny

 Sorry to be popularist but what a great episode of The Walking Dead?

Still not my fav show of all time, that would go to A Very Peculiar Practice  but it's pretty close  The Walking Dead is friggin amazing.

edit any Doctor Who fans??

This is good even though Sue Lawley is a pain in the arse.

The respect between Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee is evident. Also the lovely Verity Lambert. Peter Davison one of the most underrated Doctors.

Includes a tiny clip when the Cybermen where actually badass. God how I hate they way the new doctors adventures have treated the best Doctor Who Villain - they miss the whole point of the Cybermen

Breaking Bad

The Walking Dead

Modern Family

In that order. Every other show can GTFO

Wow - that is a blast from the past.  Greta Getowski (grrrrrr) - whenever I saw the Harry and Chums skit of the Polish Cafe I think of her.

I think the Green Wing was better.  It seems almost too farcical to be true but really it's not too far off the medical profession.

Geordie Shores been pretty good, best season yet. Scotty T's taken it to another level.

 I see on the facebook that Hope Bros are trying to get them to Wellington

On Maori TV "Jesus Christ SUperstar" is on at the moment.  Saw this back in the day and had the soundtrack which was thrashed mercilessly.

Watching it now I just think of Life of Brian.

(but the MP40s were pretty cool)

I love that show. Have the whole lot on DVD. Very offbeat, but bloody hilarious.

I am still in love. 

Game of Thrones

still pretty good. 

Watching "Secret Agent Miss Oh" on Ch 29.  It is in Korean with English sub-titles which is unusual as the K-dramas mostly are dubbed into Mandarin.

I do heart Lee Soo-Kyung.

watched the first couple of episodes of The Following.  It is a TV version mixture of Seven and Silence of the Lambs, and it is somehow an equal measure of good and shit - I think if you just don't try to take it seriously it is enjoyable.  The Bacon is always fun to watch.

Up to episode 8, and it has rapidly become the greatest/worst television show ever created.  I can't stop watching it.  I need help.

While waiting for "Secret Agent Miss Oh" I watched CCTV 9's "Travelogue" hosted by UK huaqiao He Tianran.  His mannerisms and way of talking were very Bear Grylls-ish, but without the twuntyness.

A nice change from the earnest reporters/presenters that usually grace CCTV 9.

Managed to get through all 15 episodes in series 1 - oh my god.  It was such a pile of bollocks that I became quite additcted, watching up to 3 episodes a night and then getting the sicks when I was deprieved of it.  I give it 2 thumbs up.

Found this  the other day

"Sir. Please do not noogie me during combat prep"

Ive been re-watching a very dark comedy called 'nighty night'  very dark but funny humour. If you see it in the stores buy it!! you wont be disappointed

For all the Arrested Development fans out there (can't believe this hasn't been mentioned by anyone else)http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/12/arrested-development-trailer-season-4_n_3264313.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment

Very excited. If anyone can suss out a dodgy website to watch it on, I'll be even more excited and love you forever.

I have been re-watching Series 1 of AD to get me ready for the new series.  Cannot wait.

Choice TV has a nature programme on now.  Watching giant Jap hornets raid a bee hive.

30,000 bees dead after a 3 hour attack by 30 hornets.

Amazing footage.

And now Choice TV is showing "Meet the Romans with Mary Beard".

Very nice! (valde commendatur?)

Well done Patrick for this info, good work lad!

There goes my Monday night!!
Awesome work thanks Patrick. Utter legend!
