you should watch sons of anarchy MT only problem is it's on like season 6 lol

by Motogp69 Mon 09 Sep 2013, 02:38

It is the greatest show in television history, it is more than a cartoon :coffee:

The Simpsons >>>>

Grew up watching it every night pretty much. Haven;t watched it in years, heard it declined. Best cartoon ever. :bow:

If I was going to make a top shows list it would have to be top 5.

He's one of the best characters on Justified too. Wynn Duffy :bow:

Jesse was a bad influence on him hmm

Yh from what I already watch and BB + Justified i'm noticing like 60% of the main characters on them are people I already know.

Also the man who becomes chief of police later on justified is a gun salesman on BB and 'Bobby' Proud

on Supernatural.

Tried watching Justified pilot.. didn't impress me.

Before I started watching it, people told me the first 5 were slow and different from the rest. Normally I chalk that off to lies to get people to keep watching it. But it's true.

Those first episodes are used to introduce people and build characters. Some of which are in it a LOT. So without the slow, grinding episodes you don't really care about the characters you're supposed to.

I see. Will try watching some more.

There's actually kind of a new story every episode, so it makes it interesting. Compared to one story which takes ages to get started.

The first couple episodes of Breaking Bad didn't entice me a whole lot either, but I liked them enough to keep going.

First couple episodes of Justified were very slow and I might have stopped if I didn't have it on good authority the 1st season was slower. By the middle of season 1 though I'd have kept watching regardless of people's opinions on the show. It does take a bit to get going, but it's a great show and I look forward to watching more when I have time.

I feel like, although pilots are meant to keep you engaged and wanting to watch next week, you really have to watch several episodes of a new series before you can get a feel of if it's your style or not.

Boardwalk Empire premiere was solid. Ron Livingston from Band of Brothers as a series regular in this season Proud

by Motogp69 Wed 11 Sep 2013, 00:05

A solid first episode, I really like the switch at the end as I felt it was an unexpected and well played turn :coffee:

Finished 'The Pacific'. Epic show as well. Not as good as 'Band of Brothers' but still amazing. Cheers for recommendation McLewis. Woulda slipped by me.

You've seen Saving Private Ryan, right? I know this is a TV Show thread, but just making sure you have.

Yup.

Many times. One of my favourites of all time. I am huge fan of these types of movies. Really surprised that I didn't know of these two series though.
