Matricians: What are you watching?

[ASR]

A friend let me borrow Season 1 of Weeds today. I watched the first 5 episodes, but I have to return it to him tomorrow. Lost is on a second, and after that I'm done for the night.

I must say... I've fallen in love with yet ANOTHER show. Damn it.

ANYWAY Lost returns in less than 10 minutes. Do not disturb me.

[Vinchenz Rock]

You should stop watching new TV shows.

I still haven't seen an episode of Heroes S2. Is it finished yet? I don't plan on watching it until it is.

[ASR]

It ended ages ago.

The original idea was for Season 2 to be split up into two different chapters, as opposed to Season 1 being a full chapter.

In the end, they just got REALLY lucky when the Writer's Strike rolled around because they had already finished a full story arc and had nothing to worry about like other shows did, like whether or not they'd have time to finish up the seasons after the strike ended, if ever.

And yeah, I really wish I could stop watching new shows, because as the days go on I'm starting to slowly run out of free time. Then again, I'm out of school in less than a month and I'll have most of the summer off, but the point is I start college next year and that's going to leave me with no free time at all.
So, in short, I'm an idiot who likes entertainment too much.

LOST WAS #####ING AWESOME TONIGHT.

[Mikero]

Season 2 didn't officiall end. It DID finish chapter 2 and the writer's strike DID ##### it up but I'm pretty sure they're still gonna call it season 2 whenever chapter 3 rolls around since that's what it IS.

I'm don't really like Weeds but I've barely seen it. Seems a lot like Six Feet Under which I found completely pretentious and crap after like a day.

I got distracted watching Lost tonight, it was an epic one but I missed a lot of it so I'm gonna have to peep it again.

[Johncarllos]

I am currently watching an episode of "The Mighty Boosh" entitled 'The Legend of Old Gregg.'

I suggest you do the same.

[ASR]

That show bugs me, though I've only seen small clips.

[Johncarllos]

But it's ol' Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg!

[Mikero]

I've been watching Boosh for a long time.

I'm not a big fan of series 3. Plus, as good as series 2 is, I miss the Zooniverse. It was just better.

And it's called "The Legend Of Old Gregg The Funky Merman". And I'm completely and utterly bored of people saying "I'm old Greeeeeeeeeegg!" now. Bleh.

One of my favourite characters is The Hitcher. Also anytime you see the council of shamen is great with Saboo, Tony Harrison, and Kirk.

I'm actually kind of tired of the whole show though.

[ChaosVortex]

I was watching Comedy Central for a little while today. I saw a commercial for Little Bush.

Does anyone actually enjoy the show? I thought it was #####.

[ASR]

Lil' Bush is horrible.

[Orange Devil]

Lil' Bush has some really really funny moments. But usually its just crap.


Ice

Flow

No-where-to-go!

[ASR]

Stop with the Boosh.

[Mikero]

Never heard Little Bush or whatever. Sounds bad just from that though.

I ought to finish watching what's online of Boosh series 3.

Lost was good I guess. But as forgettable as ever. I think I'm getting tired of it or something.

I'm recently into the Real World now. I don't know why, it's rather addictive for something so void of intellectual stimulation.

[ASR]

I missed Lost last night. I'm very pissed. I'll watch it online today.

[Mikero]

The two newest Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes leaked and are great, as expected.

[Rama Olendris]

Captain Planet... I got bored, I dunno why I find this awesome.

[Abominator]

Captain Planet... I got bored, I dunno why I find this awesome.

They used to show that in Gaelic here in the middle of the night...

CAPSHANE PLANAIDH!

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've been watching One Piece again, recently. My interests have been renewed since FUNi decided to release the entire series uncut. Can't wait to buy Season 1 Part 1 later this month...

Also, House.

[ASR]

Lost last night was one of the better ones.

That's TV.

[Mikero]

Lost tonight was good but then it just kind of ended out of nowhere gayly.

[ASR]

It's a Part 1 of 2, so I'll give it leeway on the abrupt ending.

Very exciting episode, though, tons of stuff happening and it's an extremely promising set-up for the finale.

[Mikero]

Oh right, I fo-got that it was a part 1. But I heard it was a 3 parter actually.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've been watching The Big Bang Theory recently with my friend.

Its very funny, strangely enough...

[ASR]

Oh right, I fo-got that it was a part 1. But I heard it was a 3 parter actually.

Well, the Part 2 is a two-hour special, so I guess, technically, it's a 3-parter if you group them as hours.

[Mikero]

OH RIGHT. OK I remember the conversation correctly know. He said it was a "3-hour finale" and then mentioned that it was in parts so I assumed it was 3 parts.

I'm currently watching game 6 of the NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Semi-Finals: Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers.

My word... Peep Show series 5 is incredible so far.

[ASR]

I must find a way to watch it eventually.

[Mikero]

Surfthechannel.com

Series 5 is the best series yet.

[ASR]

Thanks, I'll definitely catch up soon enough.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Final episode of Big Bang Theory was shown. Haven't seen it yet but going to soon.

It's a great show, really. >_>

[ASR]

The Gods have smiled upon North Americans today.

Spaced, July 22nd.

If we can't have Peep Show, I can settle for Spaced. And I'm using the word "settle" lightly. I've been waiting for this for a very long time.

[Mikero]

The show it on TV here so I'll pass on the DVD for now. But I do like it.

[ASR]

I watched just a handful of episodes once on a bootleg DVD from a friend. I loved it but that was a few years ago and I've been wanting this ever since.

And god forbid they'd show this on US television.

I heard about a US remake akin to The Office that had no involvement from Simon Pegg or Edgar Wright, but I guess it was axed. Good thing, too. I mean, I enjoy the American version of The Office but that was a one-in-a-million chance, plus Ricky Gervais was deeply involved so it's not like he was going to let us ruin it.

[Mikero]

I hate that remake #####. They are/were planning to do that with Peep Show. Which would probably eat a fat browneye so bad. I don't like the American version of The Office much.

If they do an American version of Extras I'll puke bile.

[Abominator]

They did axe the Spaced remake.

The Office remake destroys everything that was good about the original.

[ASR]

The American Office is entirely different than the original, but at least it's watchable in its own rights. I still agree that it's far inferior, though.

As for Extras, it's already had its run here on HBO so it would be pointless to remake it since it's already labeled as an American show in that sense.

[Mikero]

It's pretty short anyway. I watched it all in like an afternoon and a half online.

[ASR]

The original Office is just as short, almost equally, from what I remember. 12 episodes plus one special?

Spaced is just as short, too.

[Mikero]

Extras had a beginning, middle, and end though. I haven't seen enough Spaced or original Office to say the same but I know the American Office doesn't have that.

[ASR]

British Office does have significant plot changes throughout, so it does at least have a structure.

Anyway, watching three hours of Lost. Very excited.

[Mikero]

Same but I'm not that excited, though it'll be good. I'm much more excited that the ReBoot countdown ends at midnight.

[ASR]

I screamed this during tonight's episode of Lost:
[spoiler]WHAT THE ##### THE WHOLE #####ING ISLAND #####ING DISA#####INGPPEARED WHAT THE #####[/spoiler]

Don't read that if you haven't seen it yet.

Dudes, this is why TV was made.

[Mikero]

Nice hide tag, mo-ron.

Dudes, this is why TV was made.

It was great but it was THAT great.

[ASR]

Haha, true. I'm just a sucker for the Desmond x Penny storyline and anything with Ben.

And why thank you, it IS a nice... spoiler tag.

[Mikero]

I loved that stuff too but I think we're done with the [hide][spoiler]Desmond x Penny stuff[/spoiler][/hide] at least for a while.

I'm watching a House repeat while I wait out this ReBoot countdown.

[Vinchenz Rock]

What ReBoot countdown? >.>

[Mikero]

http://www.reboot.com/ but since the countdown ended it's just said Binomes At Work so I'm done waiting for tonight and will check it before work tomorrow.

[ASR]

Apparently Peep Show Series 1 has been on Region 1 DVD since 2005 and I've been too stupid to realize it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

It's a comic...

But they're making movies. o_o

[Mikero]

I know.

Apparently Peep Show Series 1 has been on Region 1 DVD since 2005 and I've been too stupid to realize it.

Cool. I'll wait for a box though.

::looks over at the Peep Show series 1-3 DVD box on his coffee table.::

Not that one. That's region 2. Besides in the UK they have a series 1-4 as well. So a 1-5 will come eventually and blah blah blah so I can wait for now.

[ASR]

The two "alternate endings" they shot for the Lost finale so as to keep it a secret from the actors:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DWWMYFAycmQ

Pretty obvious, but I figured someone would want to see them since they were advertised during the finale.

I recently discovered a wonderful show called Arrested Development.

I don't know how I missed this delightful gem.
