It's like all entertainment stuff goes away all at once.

There are a few shows I like, but they're almost all in the off-season, except for Science/Discovery/History channel type stuff.

I'm really looking forward to The Walking Dead, which is premiering on AMC this Halloween.  Check out the trailer: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/08/24/2010-08-24_walking_dead_trailer_from_frank_darabont_and_amc_brings_zombies_guts_and_lots_of.html

Looks super dope.

I'm also awaiting the return of Dexter and this new show on HBO called Game of Thrones, which came recommended by a few trusted friends

I gave up on True Blood.  It's just too crazy for me, with all that's going on with vampires, werewolves, pixies, shape-shifters, etc.  I was on board when it was just vampires, but I was unable to keep interest.

I'm interested in two new shows this fall:

The Event - I don't know anything about it, which is why I'm intrigued by the hype.

Outsourced - Its a sit-com, and looks funny as hell.

Otherwise, I'm just going to keep watching Pawn Stars, Mythbusters, and reruns of The Office.

Dave,

I don't know how you feel about USA Network, but I actually quite enjoy Covert Affairs, Psych, and Royal Pains.  They're on successive nights (Tue-Wed-Thurs), so there's something to watch each night.  A couple of the guys here at work also swear by Burn Notice.

I have tried to watch some of those shows, but I just can't get into them.  They're very serialized and kinda corny.  My 70 year old Mom loves Burn Notice.  I don't think it's bad, but I'd rather watch something a little more edgy or gritty.

I thought the same thing about Burn Notice, but I found it grows on you. I was stuck waiting around the house for some maintenance guys during one of USA's many "marathons." After 4 or 5 episodes, you start to like the characters. Besides, how can you not like something with Bruce Campbell?

The best thing on TV now is Rescue Me.

Warehouse 13, Haven, Eureka - all putting out new shows currently.

TV rocks right now...  ;)

Burn Notice- rocks
Eureka- Pure gold
Covert Affairs- La Femme Nikita light but fun
Rozzeli and Eisles- Actually not a bad show
Royal Pains- It has kinda grown on me

Sons of Anarchy starts again in a couple weeks too.

If Walking Dead is based on the comic series, it should rock.

Louie on FX is a pretty funny show.

I liked the Hard Times of R.J. Berger.  The season finally just aired Monday.

Entourage is still one of my favorites.

Even with all the craziness I still dig True Blood.

Futurama is more dope now than in previous seasons.

I'm curious if any of you South Florida guys tried watching The Glades.

This was filmed on my block. The hurricane one where they're cleaning up the yard is just around the block from me.
The show is entertaining enough for a Sunday afternoon.

I read the comic and from what I've seen of that trailer, it's exact.  I'm sure down the line, they'll change stuff around, as the show evolves into its own thing, but so far, the characters all look exactly like their counterparts and the story is the same.

Pretty cool. Did you watch any of the filming? I agree, it is not a great show but definitely fills a gap if you are looking for something to watch.

I did a bit, but they were just doing stuff in teh yard. Oddly, I couldn't figure out why they had all those branches and stuff around. It was supposed to look like after a hurricane. Duh...

Really? I have not caught any of the new Futurama episodes. I bought all five seasons though. I was glad they brought it back. It is sad the Family Guy which is a rip off of South Park gets so much attention, and a show like Futurama with much better writing and does not have to make bathroom humor its staple for laughs gets canned is a sad commentary on our country's taste.

Uhm... What?

Family Guy and South Park have very little to do with each other, except for profanity. They have disparate casts, settings and story lines. How is Family Guy a rip off of South Park?

**Disclaimer** I've not seen any new shows for a few weeks **disclaimer**

I'm surprised to hear a bunch of guy's watching Royal pains...I've watched the show from the beginning
I like Royal Pains,Burn Notice, (Just got into a few weeks ago,two thumbs up) Warehouse 13, and saw the premiere episode of Covert affairs.I've seen the same 2 episodes of season two of Being human season two it's not quite as good as season one, but I still like it a lot.Just prior to the latest season I got into Ice road truckers,it's the only show I've been able to keep up with..(must be me missing my old driving job Lol)

The only shows I'm waiting to see is Dexter,and Destination truth..Nothing New....

Slight hijack....I think it's funny, I don't like any shows on NBC prime time, yet I like their original cable shows on USA,and Scifi...go figure...End hijack

I keep seeing ads for chase,and and the event...neither looks good to me...but I'm seriously tired of the commercials...

I have just started watching Hard Knocks, the HBO documentary about Jets training camp.  It's good.  It's really funny, too.  It makes you have some sympathy for some of the Jets players though, which is bad. 

^^^ I don't get the sympathy part. What created sympathy for you? The only thing I can imagine are when they players get cut, but then they aren't Jets' players at that point.

^ It's players getting cut sometimes.

The big thing for me was seeing guys get injured.  This one really huge dude tore his Achilles last week, so you have to see him get carried into the stadium x-ray room and get a diagnosis and everything, after working so hard.

1. Both shows use the humdrum aspects of small-town life as perfect backdrops for bizarre happenings. South Park is a menagerie of rednecks and yuppies, sociopaths and stereotypes. However, it is the group of children that carry the show through its satirical and cynical humor. Family Guy similarly populates the small town of Quahog, Rhode Island with an army of eccentric and cameo appearances

2. Also I should have said blatant Simpson's ripoff too. Both shows feature a family where everything that seems to go wrong centers around the bumbling father and is set in a fictional town with eccentric characters and cameos by famous people.

Yeah you are right Family Guy is ground breaking new comedy.

I was going to respond meaningfully until this diatribe, which isn't remotely related to anything I wrote. Pathetic.

I list reasons why Family Guy is percieved to be a ripoof of not one but two highly succesful older cartoons and you are getting mad over one sentence? Please.

I directly refuted your statement that besides profanity they are completely different settings, hence it could logically be concluded that you do think it is a refreshing and new ground breaking comedy.
I did intentionally load that last sentence down with tons of sarcasm because even McFarlane could not defend himself against accusations and episodes by the creators of South Park and the Simpsons that he is copying their formulas and ripping them off. They may all laugh it off later, but the facts are there.
But hey don't defend your position because of a little sarcasm.

Who cares?  Funny is funny.  Speaking of funny, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League are starting back up soon.  I'm pretty stoked about that.

Awesome on both counts.  I'm willing to bet that most of the people on this website would love The League.  It's about fantasy football and hilarious!

^^^I don't like when people say that The League is about fantasy football. I think it automatically turns some people off from giving it a try when they would otherwise enjoy the show. I think the show is about the relationships formed between a group of guys with the twist of fantasy football being their common link. Saying the show is about fantasy football takes so much away from what it actually is I think.

True, but I think the same can be said about lots of shows.  The jokes, often, are those that only someone who has played fantasy football will get, though, and the entire premise of the show is around their league and their trash talking, bets, etc.

^^^ I get the most humor out of what is not football related though. Don't get me wrong, I do know there are football jokes, but there is so much more to their story line (otherwise it really wouldn't last very long at all. There is only so much humor behind football in itself). The guys going over to Ruxin's house on game day. Sure it was game day, but the story really took place outside of football. Mr. McGibbletts, that was good stuff. Eskimo Brothers, I'd never heard of it before but I sure do use the terminology now.

I'm not much of a TV watcher now that I have the internet.  I pretty much only watch sports and movies on TV.

Anyone ever catch Pure Pwnage? www.purepwnage.com

If you call yourself a gamer you owe it to yourself to check this out.  If you've never watched before, click on the "Pure Pwnage Noob" introduction and watch the first episode of season 1.  Explains a lot.

New Venture Brothers September 12th.  Rejoice!

Eastbound and Down starts up next week.  I don't know Dave, I think TV is pretty awesome right now.

The wife and I just got into Dexter. One of her co workers has the DVDs and let us borrow them. We're a little more than half way through season 2. Hopefully,season 4 will still be on demand when we are finished with season 3.

I'm getting annoyed with True Blood because of all the different creatures popping up. I'm going to continue watching, but if they bring in zombies, I'm done.

Pillars of the Earth on Starz was awesome.

I really liked the V series on ABC. Hopefully, they bring it back for another season.

The new Futurama episodes are great.

I'm burnt out on Family Guy/ American Dad/ Cleveland Show. I havent watched any of the current season.

Word.  I'm already done with True Blood.  Too many creatures and stuff going on.

if TV sucks you don't have to watch it.

You could check out my youtube videos  ;)

Or better, work on getting somebody else into the ROD  :D

Warehouse 13 on SyFy just gets better every single episode... It's become the one show I really don't want to miss each week.

^ Word, I just watched/listened to last weeks episode online....

Why? If we lived in a world where there are supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves/shapeshifters, why would there not be other supernatural creatures?

My favorite shows right now are Wipeout, Pawn Stars, and American Pickers. I keep getting caught up in the marathons on the weekends!

I like both Pawn Stars and American Pickers, although the latter upsets me sometimes, because I see that these people are mentally ill.

That is where they get the people for the show Hoarders!

As I sit here watching tv I forgot I'm also a big fan of Cake Boss!

Wipeout is awesome!

I just saw the first episode of this season's "The League"...very disappointing, I don't think I laughed once...hopefully they get back to their form from last season soon.
