New slew of tele, anyone catch any of it?

Surprised V has come back...but glad Southland has, lame as it got, still enjoyed it.

Insecurity, Canadian comedy drama, sounded amusing, bit like The Border, but not as serious apparently.

V was crap

There is absolutely nothing on tv that I like anymore.

Looking forward to "Justified" coming back in Feb though.

Put it this way - Storage Wars is the best thing on.

"No Ordinary Family" has outstayed it's welcome in this household. Not even Julie Benz can save that turkey.

You said it... I just paid the cable bill, nearly $75... I only watch a few minutes of local news in the morning while drinking coffee... huge waste of money

We need Jack back.

Our neighours just ditched their cable and went back to over-the-air TV. That's saving them $80 per month.
We stopped ours over a year back. We use a mixture of antenna, Netflix, Hulu and iPlayer over VPN for programmes to watch.

Ditch it, like thousands of others, sounds like you dont even need the newer alternatives, as local news will be on free-to-air.

Juswus

I stopped watching Glee in order to watch that, and then it fell flat
We gave it longer than it deserved because of the people in it....but yeah, it's a bit shit

Bill_S

I'd ditch it tomorrow, but my wife loves CNN

Bob

Aye, isn't it running longer than the original? Could have been okay if they cut the middle bit out and went into this new series as the trailer looks okay...but I just can't be arsed with it.

I think that's one of the issues with US network television; there's just too many episodes in a season or even a whole series. It's the televisual equivalent of those huge novels that you find at an airport. 800 pages of bollocks and 200 pages of plot (if you're lucky).
I remember how much more focused Dollhouse got when it was canceled and the makers were given 10 episodes or so to wrap it up. With the plot having to be condensed into 10, 42 minute episodes instead of spread over a 5 or 6 season run, the quality went way up.

Juswus

they were showing some of the originals the other night...omg..it was really shit! I remember it as being great, but it really hasn't stood the test of time

Sally Redux

Maybe I'm remembering it as better than it was...but this new one seems really childish.
