New TV (for me)
06.23.2006
I like the off season for TV. It means that all the seasons are over and anything I haven’t seen is now complete so I don’t get that unfortunate wait between every show. Which is good for an intense show like “Prison Break”. I’ve only seen a few episodes so far but it appears to be living up to its hype.
That is such a good show! Matt and I have been recommending it for awhile, I am surprised you posted this you are just asking for a rant from Matt about how he recommends stuff and you don’t listen and then someone else suggests it and you watch it and like it, Buffy, Angel, I forget but I think there is another one. Similar to how Myya suggested Equilibrium but you didn’t listen to her. You only trust your geek friends.
The hype I am talking about is absolutely your hype. Like I told you before, I was 20% just screwing around with you and 80% sure I was going to watch the show. I just didn’t want to pack it in with all the other TV I was watching during the season. I don’t like being chained to the TV and watching Veronica Mars, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, Lost, Prison Break and Battlestar Galactica, plus whatever happens to be on HBO chains me to the TV. So I wait. It’s much better this way.
I forgot to add this part. Keep in mind I watched the ENTIRE SEASON in a day and a half. Much better than scheduling an hour a week to watch it.
That would’ve been a much less stressful way to watch the show for sure.
Totally, the suspense, dragged all over a 9 month period would have made me want to hurt someone badly. Lost is bad enough. I don’t need more shows like that
What really sucked about that show was they took taht fucking hiatus in the middle and really messed me up.
Yeah, I noticed that there was one episode that had a really long intro and figured it must have been during the winter break. Luckily that break was exactly long enough for me to get a glass of water and click play…I win again.
Thieves never win.
I think mandy might be just as angry as I am, but she is used to me doing the rants for both of us. I already yelled at Todd for this earlier. You notice that Todd was talking about the “hype” and yet he didn’t talk about the fact that his siblings were the ones that ‘hyped” the show.
It’s TV. It’s not theiving if they give it away for free over the airwaves.
HBO doesn’t give it away for free.
You aren’t watching commercials so therefore it is stealing.
TiVo has made criminals of us all! What is this kohm-er-shal that you speak of?
Thank you for that point Adam. Matt is speaking in tongues and has obviously lost his mind.
and AND I pay for HBO so the same rules apply.
I am just taking a devils-advocate point of view. I just hope little shows like Veronica Mars don’t suffer from geeks downloading shows and ruining the ratings.
Yeah the commercial argument definitely doesn’t work.
I find myself stopping at commercials for girls in bikinis and previews for movies and tv shows, but that is it. Somehow though the FCC allows Tivo to do what it does. Recordtv was shut down because it would automatically skip commercials.
Wait, is Mr. AllOfMP3.com (Matt) trying to accuse Todd of questionable downloading? Glass houses, Matt, glass houses.
Since when did TV show downloading geeks become Neilson families? Oh, that’s right, they aren’t. And Matt knows he’s on spurious ground.
Oh and now you made his head explode using the word spurious. Just trying to read the word will make all his gears grind to a halt.
Devil’s advocate is not a good place to be with this crowd, Matt.
Seriously!
