Re: TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery
I like Bones. Goes down smooth. I usually binge watch them on netflix whenever I'm sick or something, so not very often.
The best procedural on Netflix is, of course, Poirot.

Laundry folding show, is the term I've heard. I've got a couple like that.MrSaigon wrote:Schlich wrote:you liked Bones? GrossMrSaigon wrote:Did anyone watch Backstrom?

When you're balls-deep in shows like Lost and Breaking Bad you need something light (which is why Hannibal might not work) that gratifies you every 40 minutes. I don't want to sound too apologetic, because I like the show, but it's often just background noise while cooking/surfing/getting things done anyway.
The Good Wife started out that way for me, but then I discovered it's actually really good. I think it might be the best network show that's not Hannibal. I always thought it was a lawyer show that older people watched, which I probably thought because it's on CBS.

It actually is pretty good. And I appreciate the efforts they take to make the legal aspects...well, if not accurate, at least reasonably approximating it. Because any show that actually portrayed a lawyers' life accurately would be boring as [expletive].ghostrunner wrote:Laundry folding show, is the term I've heard.

Ariel Winter might be two days shy of her 17th birthday, but that doesn't mean the internet can't get excited about her rack.

Anyone watching Togetherness on HBO Sunday nights?
The air drum duet to Rush's Tom Sawyer to end last night's episode made this season worth it.

Hey whoever suggested Black Mirror: Thanks. Thanks a whole, goddam bunch. I would have called the show Man Expletives Pig but whatever.

I know Blake Shelton's an easy target here, but I enjoyed this sketch.

Maybe this should be a separate thread, but I watched the Royal Rumble last night, and it had to be the worst booked Rumble I've seen. Shame because the title match was incredible.
