So much for the Charlie's Angels remake. It's Dead Jim. And it was total Bollocks too. Any takers on the next one to bite the dust?

I liked Charlie's Angels :o
Easy viewing and better than a lot of stuff that still airs. I didn't think it was any worse than NCIS and that has lasted years!

Community. It was just plain hilarious. Get the feeling that the writers are trying to make us hate all the characters though.

Our Houston PBS channel showed Case Histories on Masterpiece Theatre last night.

I had read the book by Kate Atkinson quite a while ago and really enjoyed the TV show. Jackson Brodie was played by Jason Isaacs (:wub:) and seemed to fit perfectly with the character from the book.

It carries on for the next 2 weeks. Something good to watch on Sunday evening for a while:thumbsup:

Season 2 of The Walking Dead started on AMC last night. One of the best things on TV. :thumbup:

We saw Case Histories last night too and thought Jason Isaacs did a really good job with the character. :D

Has anyone seen Person of Interest? Started out a little wobbly and we were dubious about it, but the last episode really intrigued me since it left the audience hanging - contrary to most American dramas. :thumbup:

Me too, seen two episodes, not bad. I`m interested to see where it`s going to go. Don`t have a lot of faith in the CIA if Carrie can manage to hide her mental health problems from them. Dont they have background checks on their own staff?
Damian Lewis is good.

I like it...seems like a modernday Equaliser :D

One show I'm not liking on the return is Harry's Law....it's lost the charm with the long storyline and not having the quirky side stories and characters.

I like it, but does seem very silly.

We reckon it'll go the way of that movie, where she's the double agent and he's the good guy trying to get her.

I loved the Equalizer, :wub:

After a few weeks of Terra Nova I can confess that it is Grade A gorgonzola.

Also House seems a little forced this year. They aren't even really trying to make people believe stuff now. For example a major plot development was that Wilson cannot forgive House. It isn't going to happen - no way. Oh wait - it only took 5 minutes of House being mean to him and their best mates again.

Can't stand Claire Danes in this role...she's too lightweight. Totally implausible IMO. How old was she supposed to be when she was arrested in Afghanistan? In the first episode...she (a blue eyed blonde) gets out of her car and walks down the road when there is trouble ahead. Then manages to smuggle herself into a prison. She would stand out like a sore thumb in Afghanistan.



Spoiler:
We think he is not a turned agent...he's working for the CIA...pretending to be working for the terrorists.

I was hoping Harry's Law was going to try to be a moderate Boston Legal - but as you say, they're getting a little heavy on drama and not quirky enough. That's really disappointing because I really like Kathy Bates. :(

I watched Case Histories on the PBS website last night (no adverts:thumbsup:) , very enjoyable, thought it was really well done, it's a long time since I watched something for 1.40 without getting fidgety and doing something else at the same time.

I've still got the last Person of Interest to watch, still unsure on it at the moment.
