Re: Tele
Anyone catch "Lucky"
HBO show with Nick Nolte and Dustin Hoffman...following the lives and characters who go to a horse race track.
Has an impressive lineup, so might be worth checking out.

Re: Tele
Yeah, after loving the first series...this second one was really boring and I gave up.
Also losing interest, but just about still watching Once Upon a Time and Grimm.
I think there are more shows I'm getting bored with than enjoying these days.
Leverage is joining those ranks along with Hawaii 5-0

Re: Tele
Here's why I'm losing interest:
The Sopranos had a great mixture of interesting characters, humor ( dark and raunchy) I just feel no empathy or interest for any of the Boardwalk Empire characters.
I used to love Steve Buschemi, his character is quite dull, he's supposed to be devious but he's played like he's reading a script. Al Capone is played by scouser Stephen Graham. I just see the skinhead from This is England. The most interesting character is the WWI vet with the facemask, even that's a bit laughable after the dog ran away with his mask. I notice his mask has dog tooth marks in it, except the tooth marks are all in a straight line, never seen a dog with perfectly straight teeth. It is a Hollywood dog I suppose, so it's asshole is probably bleached too.
The characters are so stereotypical, boring and just don't grab me. Not even close to it's closest competition The Sopranos.
And you like it because? Just curious?

Re: Tele
slowly catching up on Hart of Dixie.
The missus really likes it...I think it's okay.
It is definitely aimed at the house wife crowd though...all the blokes are always getting their boobs out, all with the perfect six pack abs etc...but none of the ladies do.
Also weird how they all do that because it's so hot and humid...it's the south, the south is bathed in AC, so this would seem rather daft.
Don't know how realistic the southern stereotypes are, but they are being hammed up a little to much I think....the southern belle not going out with the black mayor, everyone distrusting the northern doctor. etc.
It's a little annoying in that regard...but it's easy tele that's thoughtless before bed kind of fodder.

I haven't seen that, but I can tell you that the southern prejudice against Yankees is still kickin' here in GA. However, I almost dropped my teeth when a customer from Boston the other day, asked me how "mixed" was Savannah and if there was any trouble because of it. He then went on to ask if the "coloreds" were active in the city government. This from someone my age!!

Re: Tele
Homeland, ended up with a pretty good ending to the series.
What ruined it though, was them announcing ages back that there would be a second series, so you knew what wasn't going to happen so that they could continue the thing...which was shit.

Re: Tele
I'm many days late, but after fussfacing aout my PBS here in GA, just happened to catch episode 1 and 2 of the first series of Downton Abbey. Wowza, 
The PBS is having a fund drive which was why they were showing it. Next episode is showing Xmas Eve at 900 so won't be able to watch it since that's bedtime, but DH said he'd get it for me.
