What's on TV

[philosopherqueen]

Okay, what's your favorite show and why?

I need something to watch regularly, I don't get to watch much tv nowadays and i'm ready to rejoin the world of T.V.!!!!

Hell's Kitchen.

As a chef, it appeals to me. Plus my wife gets in a knot when she hears me yelling obscenities at the television, because I can't figure out how some people get the title of chef without knowing how to make a basic beschemel sauce...or overcook beef wellington...I really don't get that one. I mean, c'mon, it's not rocket science, it's cooking. You wrap the meat in the pastry, rub it with the eggs, and place it in the oven until the pastry is done, which means it's medium-rare and perfect to serve. How can you screw that up?
Yes, chefs really do swear like drunken Newfie Sailors when we're mad, by the way.

About the best tv you can watch is no tv. lol. Once in a while I'll browse through channels and end up on Bazaar Foods on the travel channel. I like that one.

Even though it has finished its run I would have to go with DeadWood. Why? Because of the realism. I likes me some realism! I also love westerns so that is another part of it.

Show that died, but I watch anyways from time to time;

Dead Like Me - Fun in every way and has unique humor. Don't base everything on the somewhat wooden acting in the pilot.
Invader Zim - Jhonen Vasquez is God, Animation and jokes are great. Series got canceled because of the excessive violence. But what did the expect from the writer of; Jonny The Homicidal Manic.

Show that have not died:
Dexter - Well Jeff Lindsay's books were real bad, but the series is amazing. It follows the series killer Dexter, who only kills killers. Both seasons are great, but please get the DVD-version, many TV-channels censor it, although it does not use any excessive violence.
My Name Is Earl - So silly and stupid it's brilliant.
The IT Crowd - For IT guys only, but great with references.
Family Guy/South Park - I'm bad that way.

Anyhow TV seasons are starting next fall again.

Just as Vasska I watch:
Dexter - love it! A serialkiller with morals, how can that go wrong?
Family Guy/South Park/(Simpsons) - It's satire man, gotta love satire.. How they make fun of everything and everybody.. LOVE IT!

I also like:
Breaking Bad - About a 50year old chemestry teacher who struggle to support his family. He findsout that he got lungcancer and he will die, so he starts cooking crystal-meth to get them some cash before he goes bye-bye.. Great series which gets you thinking of your own mortality really...

Used to like:
Prison Break - when Peter Stormare (Swede) where the mob boss, I had to watch it.. But it kind of lost it's way after season two...

Breaking Bad did not do it for me for some reason. Prison Break was cool for the first season.

Second season was only enjoyable because of great acting by Robbert Knepper (Theodore Bagwell,the pedophile). I watched him later in Hitman, but man i will always see him as Theodore.

Season 3 was nothing much, and i stopped watching after about 5 episodes. Finished watching it because it was on 13 episodes long. But they really failed at the storyline and everything is so hasty.

Season 4 won't be on my list, unless they change the concept and kill of everyone except Micheal Scofield.

Simpsons I still watch, but man did it change in the 19th season. For the better must be said.

Peter Stormare is a great actor. Liked him in Constantine as the Devil too (Despite the movie was real bad).

I liked Stormare in Armageddon as the russian cosmonaut.. "THIS IS HOW WE DO IN RUSSIA!" *Starts beating the instruments with a wrench*

Haven't seen Constantine because I heard it was a flop..

Movie is a waste of time, but the acting of Stormare is good. Bad thing he only appears in the last 10 to 20 minutes as the devil.

House because I can relate a lot with the main character, House. If you haven't seen it and would like to, you should start with season 1.
