Revolution and that's about it... Why does TV suck so much these days....

Its doesn't......its better than ever in almost every way. So many great shows in so many genres. Of course if you don't have cable and are only watching network TV the quality now is a bit lower than it has been.

Network TV has never been better than now. It's just so happens that cable television is producing unquestionably better dramas.

All the British shows that were posted a few pages back look better than 90% of the crap that is put out in America.

I mean I like quite a few British Shows. Just finished watching season 2 of Dowton Abbey. The breadth of quality really can't compare to the US though imo.

FX Pilot ‘Outlaw Country’ To Air As Movie

More than two years after FX greenlighted Outlaw Country to pilot and almost a year after the network passed on the Nashville-set drama, the pilot is making it to air. Outlaw Country will air as an FX Original Movie this Friday at 10 PM, following a rebroadcast of Oscar-winning mob drama The Departed. There has been no promotion for the broadcast, which is considered a burnoff. The version that will air is the final pilot that was delivered to FX after it ordered script rewrite and reshoots last summer. I hear the pilot came in long, at about hour an a half, making it suitable to air as a movie. This is a rare public broadcast of a busted pilot not developed as a backdoor movie as they normally never see the light of day. Outlaw Country, a crime thriller/family drama set against the backdrop of Southern organized crime and Nashville royalty, starred Luke Grimes, Haley Bennett, Mary Steenburgen and John Hawkes. Outlaw Country was in the same pilot batch as Powers. FX passed on that pilot too but is keeping its prospects alive with a re-write by Charles H. Eglee.

Parade's End

Very busy opening quarter of an hour but as it began to settle down you could really see the charm on offer in this show. Rather amusing too in places. Interesting to see where this goes. Cumberbatch was effortless in his stoicism, Hall was delightfully despicable and Adelaide Clemens was charming - absolutely one to watch for the future.

- Teaser for the HBO film "The Girl" coming up in October
We’ve got two Alfred Hitchcock feature films headed our way in the near future, but the first one out of the gate will be HBO’s The Girl. A teaser trailer for the pic has been released, and we get our first look at Toby Jones and Sienna Miller in action as Hitchcock and his The Birds actress Tippi Hedren. Directed by Julian Jarrold, the film examines the legendary director’s obsession with Hedren, and we’ll be seeing a rather unflattering side to Hitch’s personality.

This is the one the stood out to me (because it's Charlie Brooker) and it's on tonight!

I love how conventional and unconventional the trailer is at the same time, it looks just like every other police drama, but that's the point. I can imagine loads of people watching this without knowing it's a parody.

Nashville's pilot is really strong, my only fear is that it'll become unfortunately soapy as the series progresses. A showrunner change doesn't elicit confidence for the few episodes, either.

Just saw the 1st episode. Absolutely fantastic. It's been forever since I've seen a good parody show. And this one delivered big time.

Returning:
Supernatural
NCIS
Person of Intrest - Well I might watch it, I wasn't really sold on the first season.
Community - wee!


New shows:
Arrow - Probably won't like it.
Revolution - Probably won't like that either.
Copper - This one looks kinda interesting.


I should probably get into some of the series I've not watched for a while. Like Fringe, Sons of Anarchy, Boardwalk Empire and Treme.

How I Met Your Mother, religiously. Hopefully this will be the last season, 7 was really stretched out. Might tune into Big Bang Theory if Penny's not being too much of a bitch.

Not really sold on any of the new shows, will probably check out that new sherlock holmes series, but still not decided yet. and there are still a bunch of great shows I never watched like Breaking Bad, so I might prefer those instead, but who knows.

Currently watching breaking bad

Will be watching:
Dexter
HIMYM (has gone downhill but I'm hooked in now)

I think that's it? I'm also watching Mad Men and Game of Thrones. I think I made a mistake by jumping into Game of Thrones last month. It seems like it will be going for another 8 years if they ever get a chance to finish it. Would've been better off waiting a few more years.

I am so unbelievably excited for Nashville. Connie Britton is a goddess. This show better earn her some much deserved awards.
