Watched Past Life last night. Pretty awful stuff. I'm not surprised Fox took it off after 3 episodes.
The Gates looks like a True Blood light. May be worth a look, if vampires are your thing.

I like the Vampire Diaries, just never can remember when and where they're on. :o:confused:

Rookie Blue...that's it! looks incredibly shit!

Yeah, "The Gates" looks interesting. Rhona Mitra is usually good fun

If it's Canadian, it might be worth a go. We really liked "The Bridge" that just ended.

The Good Guys

That just ended up really annoying me and I thought it was a bit shit....to slow, to much repetition and way to many slow downs to get those tags on the screen, that and I just wanted to push the main two characters into a mince meat machine.

I think I was one of the few that liked Defying Gravity. ReGenesis was an excellent show. Being Erica was fun too. There's some pretty good programmes made in Canada. Of course, the best was the mighty SG1. I don't think it's any co-incidence that SG: Universe is made in New Mexico, instead of Vancouver, and it's rubbish :)

Republic of Doyle was great cheese too, and The Border....Corner Gas was an amusing comdey too and we're liking Dan for Mayor, really stupid, but it is kinda fun.

Watched the debut of Top Shot on the History Channel last night. Supposedly a contest to determine the best marksman in the country. But it turned out to be a lame Survivor-like soap opera. There was only one tough shot in a one-hour program. :thumbdown:

"The Pretty Liars"

A book series turned into the small screen....it's basically "I Know What You Did Last Summer", with shit characters, shit acting and a shit story.

You couldn't believe the birds were college students, never mind high school.

Shit on a shitty stick, filled with more shit, this was pretty shit.

"Persons Unknown"

Lost meets a hotel room....a bunch of people get kidnapped and wake up in a hotel, with weird people and weird things happening. Only marginally better because it has a sinister undertone, especially the end cliff hanger to the first episode.

"Treme"

Finally got around to watching this, wish I got around to watching it sooner so I could have saved a boat load of space on the DVR.

It's shit, the characters are naff and the storyline doesn't exist.

The music though at least is a saving grace as that has been really good...I'll give it a couple more episodes only because some people said it was okay and I've already got the stupid things already.

I see Bob as a combo Steven Wright and Ben Stein. I also see a cookbook in his future- Bob's Cooking with Zombies Can be Fun. :blink:

The Gate

Vampire/Werewolf in a HOA gated community.

Bit of a lame and shit start tbh, but the ending was a little intriguing so I'll give it another episode, that and Rhona Mitra, she's in it...hmmm.

Leverage is also coming back, or has come back, not sure if that's worth bothering with though.
