Re: Tele
The original 1970s version is pretty good, much more grim than the new version, although the story gets worse as it goes on.
Season 1 of the new version wasn't amazing but it had some good bits. The second season has been very good so far, although I've read mixed reviews.

Re: Tele
I am spreading my wings with TV. After years of NOT watching anything at all, I started watching HGTV with some BBCA thrown in.We cut our cable back in '08 so no more BBCA. I got tired of the reruns last fall on HGTV. Then I branched over to watching reruns of all the crime shows and have actually dipped my toe into the current versions of them. The only new show I watch (just started last month) is The Good Wife,which I like very much.
I have never watched Survivor, American Idol etc.
I have not watched 24 at all either

Re: Tele
I started watching Survivor for the first time the last season. I really enjoyed it. There's a new season starting up soon. It's like an all-stars version with all the best contestants from previous season - good team vs evil team or something.
Never watched American Idol or 24 either.
One day I will watch 24 on dvd. I have a huge list of shows I missed when originally aired that i want to watch on dvd one day - The West Wing, Deadwood, 24, The Wire, and tons more.

Re: Tele
So anyone watching Caprica?
Human Target is turning out to be a bit more meh, but the side kicks are still fairly amusing, I'll probably watch it till it gets canned.
White Collar is back and I'm still liking it, still very cheesy though.
The missus finally gave up on Secret Life of a American Teenager....thankfully, as it just got annoying.
La La Land is still on the DVR, anyone else catch it?

Re: Tele
The first 2 episodes of Caprica were shown this week in the UK. I think it was on Sky 1? I did watch it. I wouldn't know what channel because I am female and therefore do not get to actually choose which channel I watch, nor am I under any circumstances allowed to touch the remote control.
I though it was pretty good. I loved Battlestar Galactica, so I am glad the same type of thing is back.

Re: Tele
Past Life
Just saw the first episode...sounded interesting, about investigations into old crimes when someone "sees" a past life.
Shame it was really boring and a bit shit though.
Wonder if it'll warm up and get better, but I don't think I can be arsed to give it more of a chance.

Finished series 1 of The Inbetweeners. Wish I'd gone to that comprehensive!

Re: Tele
So V is returning, anyone going to bother with that again? How about Flash Forward?
I think that lost momentum with the break, I was all up for it at the time and really thought it started to get good, now I can't really remember much of the characters and a lot of the build up is completely lost.
