i am really hooked on just waiting for a season of something to be done then getting the torent of the whole season no commercials and just blow through it instead of waiting the week

it's a shitty time for series and the only things i look forward to are curb your enthusiasm which has been pretty good so far and louie.

i still have season 1 of the wire and mad men and i haven't worked up the commitment to start watching them because i know i will probably watch them all at once.

Actually I do watch Hoarders not sure why but that show is like a train wreck and car crash all rolled into one for me.

Oh I like Wilfred and Louis too, that is a good back to back combo.

FX has some good series as well as some shitty ones.

Rescue Me is pretty good.

Don't know about Eastbound and Down but season 2 just came out on DVD and there's a lot of Kenny Powers commercials so I would assume yes? Though I'm about to start season 2 so I can't say for sure

LOL thanks for the heads up I liked season 1 but was just never around when the shows were playing and people wouldn't tell me because I would mean to watch them later and I never got around to it.

I really watch very little broadcast tv aside from True Blood with the wife. It's mostly dvd and Blu-ray movie rentals/purchases....

However, my wife and I got into "Operation Repo" re-runs the past month on the Tru-TV channel. I know it's all staged bullshit and probably as trailer trashy as it gets but it's still oddly compelling.

EB&D Season 2 was a bit of a let down, but it wasn't a huge dropoff. Season 1 was hard to match.

I have no time for TV right now. My DVR is going to get full before too much longer. At this point I watch sports and then the late night talk shows before and as I'm falling asleep. I watch 30 minutes of Conan, 30 minutes of Dave, 30 minutes of Kimmel, 30 minutes of Fallon. That can change depending on guests, reruns etc. I'm usually asleep before I ever get to Kimmel.

We cancelled our cable and now just rent shows we want to watch. The latest season of Dexter just came out, and it is much better than I expected.

My wife and I also just finished Deadwood and are heartbroken there is no more to watch. We also watched all of Battlestar Galactica and that was a lot of fun, but Deadwood was in a class all by itself.

you guys are crazy. can't live without cable (satellite). i don't watch a lot of tv but for the sports alone it's essential. no way i'm watching everything on the computer. with cable i watch every giants and kings game and get the nfl package every year.

Well, that and the quality of d/l or streaming vs HD satellite broadcast.
