TV show thread

^IIRC, they actually shot a few of them in the first show or two and were told by NBC to tone down the violence following complaints by some nanny organization.

^^You mean like the A-Team?

The A-Team doesn't kill the bad guys. They just injure them to bring them to justice.

I don't even remember any injuries on the TV show.

I believe that the bad guys are typically tripped or "blown" into a wall so they are shaken-up enough to be subdued and taken in by the local authorities while the A-team makes it's hasty retreat from Col. Whatshisname.

Crud...what was that guys name?

Wasn't it the same dude that gave Magnum fits (Decker?)?

I think you're correct with Decker.

here's another thought? Why don't they have gocarts?

new big bang theory tonight

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

New NCIS & NCIS LA last night. New Tosh.0, new South Park, new CSI, and of course, Big Bang Theory! My DVR is getting loaded up quickly this week.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Key and Peele wasn't as good as last year...

 

[Road Guy]

anyone catching SOA this season?

Its almost like the writers are trying to win some type of death / gore award.. its gone down hill the last 2 years IMO.. I could have done without the burn scene in episode I, maybe it has a point that will reveal itself down the road....

^ there was a lot of people posting on FB last night about how they couldn't believe what happened on SOA. I don't watch the show so I'm not sure what all the hype was about.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I have it recorded but havent seen it yet.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

I catch it on Netflix, so we're about to start the season after the Ireland BS. That season sucked.

 

[snickerd3]

new big bang - not so great...all over the place episode

 

[knight1fox3]

^ I have to watch that yet, maybe tonight.

I also watched some of Last Resort. Was kind of cool in a whole "Red Dawn" kind of sense. Don't know that I'll have time to watch it though.

 

[Road Guy]

last resort look interesting but I think Im just gonna wait and watch it in the offseason on either dvd or netflix or something...

I am shocked that they killed Opie. Even though he is technically not with the club now, I did not see that coming.

That show, and FX for that matter, has always pushed the limits of what can be shown on cable. It's amazingly addicting show, but yes it is over the top.

We actually had a few good old-fashioned arguments about the show Revolution over the weekend. One of the mechanical guys in our group was asking why people hadn't gone back to using steam power. LadyFox (civil-enviro) was more troubled at how concrete was simply just gone in certain places (i.e. O'hare). I said, I think I have it figured out. I bet all the engineers banded together and formed their own city where everything works just fine. Where they actually do have steam power, working sanitary systems, etc. Basically a fully-functional infrastructure. They are just waiting for the "others" (or people we see in the show) to find said city. We were all in agreement. LOL

 

[snickerd3]

or hoping for them to NOT find them...maybe? Havedon't know the premise of the show

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

^^^ Maybe they just built Racoon City underground like in Resident Evil?

I'm enjoying Revolution. You need to suspend belief and just go for the ride.

Has anyone seen Covert Affairs on USA ? the writing is really good! It's on hiatus for a few more weeks.
