So far I am enjoying Terra Nova and Pan Am
and of course Survivor. I tried to watch the Zooey D show, but found it unwatchable. But I like Tarra Nova and Pan Am. I think I'll keep them on the Tivo and watch them every couple of weeks in clips of 2 or 3 episodes. Seems like neither is getting enough press that I have to worry about spoilers in the main stream press.

On HBO, I am enjoying Boardwalk Empire and Hung.

What shows are you watching.

1. I gotta catch up on Survivor
I have them all but have not watched yet. I watched the first two episodes of Boardwalk Empire and it's looking like another good season. I just finished up Breaking Bad and holy crap... I can't wait to see how they wrap it up. Lets see...

Dexter - If the first episode is any indication, this could be it's best year yet.
Fringe - I'm not sure how I missed this one. I'm into season 2 now and trying to catch up.
Sons of Anarchy - This is next up on my list to catch up on. I watched the first season but then it fell by the wayside and I want to get back to it.
The Walking Dead - I'm nervous about this but I'll probably stick with it at least through the coming season.
Justified - This show is freaking awesome, I can't wait for the new season.
Misfits - They lost Nathan and that may be hard to recover from but the first two series were good enough for me to continue.
Spartacus - I really hope this can recover from the loss of Andy Whitfield.
Person of Interest - I want to like this show but... I'm having a tough time, I'll give it a few more episodes.
True Blood - It's starting to get a bit stale. They really have to do something next season for me to continue with it.

DEXTER!! Survivor.

I really wanted to watch American Horror Story but forgot, so am hoping it will show up for streaming on fx website so I can start from the beginning. Am liking Person of Interest so far, hoping it won't become run of the mill and too predictable. Have been a long time fan of the original CSI, but it may be losing me. I'm not sure how I like the Ted Danson character yet, he might be just too off beat, so will see.

Tried the Homeland show, mixed feelings on that one too. Interesting idea, but Clare Danes is really chewing the scenery with her character. Seems a bit over the top to be realistic. It did leave me curious about the pow guy, whether or not he was 'turned', so I may tune in again for awhile. (I mainly watched because it was on after Dexter and I just didn't turn the tv off.)

And guilty pleasure I hate to admit I watch, Big Bang Theory.

Wanted to try Terra Nova, but forgot that one too. Will try to catch it online.


ps Where is Lazarus? I miss his comments on the tv chat threads.

3. I tried Terra Nova. Thought it was absolute shit.
From the obvious, dystopia by the numbers opening to the truly awful High-School Musical level acting, it was just a train wreck of mass marketed, Disneyesque, faux sci-fi, pap.

5. Agree. I was more interested in
the dystopia than what's going on in the usual land that time forgot stuff. Why go back so far? Why not start when the world settled down after the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs? Well, maybe it's the only time they could reach but the second episode was way too formulaic.

4. I didn't like Pan Am at all.
I Tivoed Terra Nova. I am not sure about it yet. I will keep watching for awhile, and give it a chance.
