I actually feel that in one more season duck dynasty will be here. They are re -running it to death...

I watched moon shiners and the Amish show one weekend while I was sick.. Interesting but hard to follow week to week...

If any if you have seen the show "Double Diva's". Based in Atlanta about the girl with big boobs that makes big custom bras for big girls.. My wife went to high school with that girl..

There shop is on Barrett parkway near us and if you go on there usually the "stars" of the show are actually there..

They also sell bras and stuff fr people with normal sized boobs and butts...

I say give duck dynasty 2 more seasons and it will be toast.. He'll I saw a duck dynasty door mat at Home Depot.. That's what goes for redneck?

 
^it's already there for me. The CEo who almost seems ashamed of his redneck upbringing and probably wouldn't have the beard et all if it wasn't for the show.

 
I watch way too much TV. This summer, though, it's down to a minimum - Continuum and Dexter. It's Dex's final season, so yay for that.

Shows I used to watch that I don't anymore, though? If you mean current shows, I don't think I have any... I tend to stick with my shows to the bitter end, as long as I've seen more than three episodes to begin with.

Show list by genre:

Castle

Person of Interest

Homeland

Psych

Save Me (might be canceled, haven't heard)

Dexter

Hit & Miss (though it's been canceled; I've only seen the first two episodes)

Orange is the New Black (Netflix only; prison dramedy at a women's prison, with a "fish out of water" woman convicted 10 years after leaving the criminal world. Nominally based on reality.)

Lost Girl (Dexman's right.)

Arrow

Game of Thrones

Continuum

Supernatural

Nikita

Futurama

Dr Who

Through the Wormhole
How Sex changed the world

Intermittently other shows

Shows killed before their time - Sarah Connor Chronicles, FireFly, Jeremiah, Dollhouse, and far too many others to count.

^^^ Dollhouse was horrible, with the exception of the hot chicks...


I disagree. It wasn't for everyone, and it had some issues (not the least of which were some seriously unlikeable characters), but as a concept it was one of the better sci-fi shows of the past decade. It would have been better if it'd been a little more futuristic, though.

 
Concept was good, I agree. Execution (unlikeable characters, "issues" and not futuristic enough), was horrible.

 
Oh, I forgot Orphan Black as a show I watch. Best modern-day sci-fi show I've seen in a long time. The characters with the most screen/plot time are:

Sarah Manning, an English-American played by Tatiana Maslany.

Alison Hendrix, an American soccer mom played by Tatiana Maslany.

Cosima Neuhas, an American genetics geek played by Tatiana Maslany.

There are at least three other "... played by Tatiana Maslany", but they are spoilers.

She does an incredible job of bringing them all to life.

 
Agree on Warehouse 13, used to watch it a lot, now I have 8-9 episodes on the DVR and no real desire to watch them. It got real slow last year. I liked it more when they were focused on the artifacts and how they got their powers. Now its all about a baddie and a random thimble that grants you the power to turn kittens into poodles or some BS.

I couldn't finish Eureka either, got waaay to drama-filled and I was glad to see it go.

other shows I tried and either disliked or just couldn't get into:

Continuum

Supernatural

Smallville

Arrow

Simpsons

Ghost Hunters (any of them)

Any "Reality" Show

Primeval

NCIS (Any)

 
Did any one see Falling Skies last night?

I do really want to keep watching this series but starting to feel bored about it.

On the other hand The Last Ship had good action and is not as hard to believe that something like that could really happen. Maybe we should start a new thread about this one.

I DVR'd the Last ship hoping it will be good. Had to quite falling skies prior to last season, it was getting too corny for me and too gross for the little guys (ie mommy).

 
Dang it! I was going to start watching Falling Skies now that GoT is done for the season. Should I not?

I do not know KFox. To each their own. For me it was boring. The little girl, Mason's daughter with the Lady Doc, grew up like from 8 to 18 years old in a few months and her hair from brunette to blonde. I mean, it is ScyFi but too much of something is never good.

 
My son and I have been watching Falling Skies from the beginning. After last night's episode we were both wondering if the show is starting to "Jump the Shark".

  • Tom Mason used to be a History professor, but now he is an expert moto-cross rider able to do donuts, wheelies, and jump 75 foot gaps!!
  • Pope always seems to find/make his "man cave" wherever he lives complete with liquor, portable generators, and TV sets.
  • Where do they keep getting all of their bullets from??

I wondered what they would do after last season (with the new overlords) to me its like the writers changed their minds on something midstream and they are trying to course correct..

I will still watch it just not as religoulsy as TWD or GOT...

I also DVR the lost ship and will try and catch it after vacation...

I also caught a few minutes of True Blood. Okay I didnt know it was a soft porn type tv show, now I know why the ladies watch it.. girls are such pervs..

 
True Blood has the same level of nudity/pr0n IMO as GoT does. The first couple of seasons were really good I thought. It was a different concept and the story was done well IMO.

But after like S3, it got really weird so I quit watching it. This latest season (premier was yesterday I think?) they are supposed to go back to the original story line instead of doing all the weird side stories. I might pick it back up. Or just be done with TV and go back to online gaming. ;)
