What are you watching tonight?

Did you watch Lost?

Don't spoil it. I was given the full box set. I'm three episodes in from the start, first series.

Save yourself the pain. Don't watch it.
It finished two years ago and I'm still pissed off with it.

I was also given the full box set of Steptoe and Son at the same time. I've watched all of that, and only three episodes of Lost. I think that tells me to give up now. I will take your advice, ebay here I come.

Homeland got a third season.

It's going to go the way of 24, isn't it - flogging it until it's properly shite with each season getting progressively worse.

If you thought 24 got progressively worse then I can only assume you didn't watch it near the end. The last season was arguably the best.

Never quite understood the argument that a show should be stopped after one or two seasons just because they're excellent.

Yeah, I watched all 8 seasons, but even the (slight) upshoot in quality of Season 8 wasn't worth putting myself through seasons 5-7.

I've never quite understood the argument that a show should be continued after its logical conclusion because it's the "flavour of the month".

I mean, you've got to watch Homeland these days just to keep up with the Joneses - it's the in-thing over here, just like 24 was 10 years ago.

Lost had a great first season, then 'lost' itself in the second and third season. When they gave it an end-date it improved, fair enough, but the sixth and final season was an utter waste.

Watched that Brazil with Michael Palin last night.
It's a bit meh. Dunno if he's too old or if he just can't be arsed but it's just not got the same spark as the first couple of series did.

[thebish]

well - at the risk of picking the Vic Reeves scab..

got round to watching Hebburn last night. and - I enjoyed it (as did the missus and little miss Bish!) so there!

Aye. Switched it off and watched the pilot episode of Elementary instead.

Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock and Lucy Liu as Watson. It wasn't too horrendous.

Watch

Interesting premise. Not too taxing on the brain. Lucy's easy on the eye. I'll watch the second and then decide.

'Elementary' and 'Vegas' are the two new shows I've enjoyed the most so far, rather surprisingly. 'Last Resort' and 'Revolution', which I thought I would prefer, have been letdowns.

From Monday, on Channel 4 (I think) the return of 'Cheers' ... planned to be shown from the very first episode to the very last. It'll take months, years even, but wonderful viewing.

Hopefully not too dated.

For the oldies here ... a great treat. For the younger ones who barely know it, if at all, a great opportunity.

ITV 4, Bobo.

Ahhh. ITV .... It'll be shite then !

Watched the first two hour episode of Hatfields and McCoys. Two fueding families after the American Civil War. Real warts and all stuff. Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton and Tom Berenger. Looks promising.

I'm already on the McCoys' side.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This is purposely a parody of Cockernee gangster films, isn't it?
