What was the last TV show you watched?

[Jovan]

Heroes... that sounds really good right about now as I wait for the new Star Trek.

 

[Spiffy]

I've never been a Star Trek fan, but the new cast looks too good to pass up.

The Prisoner

Anybody remember the 60's British classic "The Prisoner"? Just finished watching all 17 episodes on DVD. What a hoot.

 

[Mike in Seattle]

Torchwood & Dr. Who (the recent series)

 

[imoldfashioned]

Had some friends over last night and watched the pilot and first 3 episodes of Twin Peaks. It was just as weird as I remembered. I still love Audrey and Killer Bob still makes me shiver.

Ashes to Ashes

 

[Jovan]

I've never been a Star Trek fan, but the new cast looks too good to pass up.

Score one for Star Trek getting a new fan. Because you WILL be one, I guarantee it.

More Twin Peaks. There's so much about this show that I'd forgotten. Kyle MacLachlan is wonderful in it and so many of the supporting characters are strong too. I'm really enjoying it thus far.

 

[Spiffy]

Torchwood & Dr. Who (the recent series)

Ha! You, my friend, have some excellent taste!

Jovan: They moved the Star Trek release date back to Summer 2009!

 

[Jovan]

... I am very disappointed in them. Everything is all set to go for a winter release. As usual, all they can think is MONEY even though this will hurt them.

 

[KY Gentleman]

I'm watching a documentary on the History Channel, "The St Valentines Day Massacre" .

 

[Spiffy]

Isn't that in Some Like It Hot?

 

[Jovan]

A very censored, somewhat inaccurate version of it, yes.

 

[Doctor Strange]

A totally FICTIONALIZED version of it, ordered by "Spats Columbo".

 

[Jovan]

Isn't that what I just said?

 

[Doctor Strange]

Essentially yes, but there's a subtle difference between describing a historical event inaccurately, and using it as a springboard for entirely made-up characters and situations.

No big deal, but it struck my tech writer accuracy fixation as worth pointing out...

 

[Spiffy]

Well, if it makes everyone feel better, in the musical version of Some Like It Hot (Sugar), the gangsters tap-dance before they start killing people.

 

[Jovan]

Nothing to get you in the mood for mass murder like totally macho tap dancing.

 

[imoldfashioned]

6 episodes of ThirtySomething. The whinyness gets to me sometimes but the writing is strong and they were very funny. I wish they'd release this on DVD--I've still got my old VHS tapes.

 

[Retro Rob]

I rented "Carnival" an older HBO series about a dust bowl era traveling carnival, really got into it, nice retro series.
