I am liking "The River" a good bit.
[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

I had a similar pact with a friend of mine. I got him to watch Doctor Who. He started watching it because he couldn't think of a show in return.
Then he came back to me with Vampire Diaries. Given how fucking sick I am of the vampire genre, I said no.

I've heard Vampire Diaries is pretty fun.
Oh, I'm sure it is. But between Twilight, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, and lord knows what else, I'm tired of vamps. And zombies.
Just started watching season 6 of Futurama, (or season 7, or season 8, depending on how you decide to keep track of their seasons). I wasn't overly pleased with season 5, and felt only 2 of the movies were good as well, so I put off season 6 until now. Only seen the first two episodes so far and the first was crap, but the second was pretty good.
Just found out today that Cartoon Network ordered another two seasons (or just the one season, again depending on how you want to keep track of Futurama's seasons), for 2012 and 2013, I hope the quality is better than 5 was.

I just watched the pilot of TOS. I haven't ever seen that. It's amazing how much was established right there in the first episode. "Engage", "Number One", etc. Some things were different, like "Time Warp Factor 7" instead of just "warp factor 7", and Spock showing emotion. Hoo Boy the rampant sexism. I sure see why they dropped Pike, though. That guy was more wooden than Pinnochio.
I like how much Spock liked to shout in the pilot and while sexist by today's standards, it did have a female XO, which is something I'd imagine was nigh unheard of and so unrealistic to the suits that Majel Barret got busted down from Commander to Nurse in the cast.

It was more plausible to folks that an alien would be second in command than a woman (though I understand Roddenberry had to fight tooth and nail to keep Spock).

Just watched all of G1 Transformers with the kid. It was my first time as I wasn't allowed to watch that kind of TV when I was a kid. I actually really dug it! Well, the first two seasons and the movie, anyways.
The last two seasons suck on toast.
We had to buy Jet an Optimus Prime because he was upset over his death in the movie. We haven't been able to find a child friendly Soundwave, though. Too bad, it's his favourite character!
We are now watching Beast Wars. I forgot how much ass this show kicked.

Waitm what? I had soundwave as a kid, did he... do something I should have been aware of?
I mean something that won't break up easy.
For example, the Optimus Prime we found is like this:
There's no Decepticons in the Playskool line. The soundwaves we have found are from the new movies so they look like heaps of twisted metal. Original Soundwaves run hundred of dollars and 'collectible' soundwaves aren't what you would give a child.

Texas Forever.
It's an R-rated, nastier version, yeah, the series is really awesome.
Wow, lasts night episode was the strangest in the shows history.
One of the tribes just demolished the other in the immunity challenge, then gave up immunity to go to Tribal council voluntarily and engage in a huge argument over social issues.
When the wrong tribe walked into the council area, Jeff was completely speechless.
whoa, people still watch Survivor
Survivor is still airing?
Oh it's staggeringly popular in this manor-squire.
Watched the first two episodes of season 5 Doctor Who, aka when Stephen Moffat takes over finally.
Good stuff, like I'd expected. Kind of rough emotionally though. Also, the Doctor needs to get his timing straightened out--he has a friggin time machine after all. I'll try to make time to keep going through this on Netflix; I'd like to keep watching.

There is the soundwave from the newer animated series from right after the first movie. I actually loved those toys.I mean something that won't break up easy.

Watched several more episodes of Futurama season 6. MUCH better than season 5 so far. Maybe the next two seasons won't be crap after all.
I finished season 6 of Futurama, and it has completely made up for season 5. I stayed away because the first episode after the Christmas one was so unbelievably bad I was afraid, but the writers seemed to finally get themselves back on track after that. I have high hopes for season 7 now.
And depending on how you keep track of the Futurama seasons, when I say season 6 I could also mean: season 8, the second half of season 6, the second half of season 5, or season 7. You figure out which one I'm talking about.
