Well since we have a movies, music and various game threads - why not have another thread about TV. (I know there are some but they have been long lost)

What have you been watching recently?
What did you think?
Would you recommend it?

Give a quick review or whatever. Up to you!

Episodes
Found this on BBC iPlayer, features Matt LeBlanc and two of the cast of green wing as the two main characters. Up to it's third episode now and I've just watched all of them - thought it was very funny.
Basic plot: A UK hit tv show written by the green wing duo (stephen mangan & tamsin greig) gets offered to go over to the US to make an american version (like the american office) - but their plans soon start falling apart when the network offers up matt leblanc to play the leading role (a part normally played by a fat old british man)

10 o'clock live
Jimmy Carr, Charlie Brooker, Lauren Laverne and David Mitchell discuss the weeks news in a live and satirical style. Highlight from the second episode includes Jimmy getting a cringeworthy response by saying:

The government is spending 200 million pounds scrapping 9 nimrod spyplanes. I have a couple of ideas to save that money. Firstly, get in touch with the good people at webuyanyplane.com. Secondly, fly the planes into buildings in saudi arabia and see how they like it...
*boos & shock from audience*
Too much?
...
Too late! It's live - what can you do?
*nervous laughter*

With real political interviews and discussions. I am definitely finding it an entertaining way to take in a weekly dose of news.

How TV Ruined Your Life
In the first episode, charlie brooker takes a look at TV's approach to fear. Fairly standard charlie brooker comedy. Worth a watch.

Skins
Having watched the first few series, I am fully aware that I am now too old to watch programs like this. The first episode of the new series definitely made me 'WTF' a lot.

[Captain Valentine]

Misfits and Peep Show on british TV. Don't watch TV very much to be honest.

[CruelCow]

What's on TV?

Mostly rubbish. Some shit.

[Ringelbeatz]

I hate tv.

only watch sometimes NFL/NHL and regularly football and news.

[Power]

I'm sorry, is Charlie Brooker in every british TV show ever?

[Hzza]

Charlie Brooker's a fucking hero and should be in every British TV show ever.

[Mr Chug]

10 o'clock live is great, but I find myself getting angry once every 10 minutes during interviews/discussions when the presenters get told to wind it up so they can move on. It was bad in the first week, but this week both the interviews and the round table discussion were getting really interesting when the order from above came to finish up. Also I don't understand why Lauren Laverne is even there, since she's fairly consistently useless.

Misfits is probably the best TV I've watched this year- the whole of the first series is on 4od and is therefore essential viewing. The concept and writing is just brilliant, and the minor flaws of the first series (a bit freak-of-the-week-y, and the over-arching plot was quite slow) are banished by the second series, which aside from the niggling plot holes have been all-around great.

I'm also a pretty big Doctor Who fan; Stephen Moffat's writing is just brilliant, and Matt Smith and Karen Gillan are probably the best Doctor-Companion pairing yet.

Haven't really caught much else lately, although Million Pound Drop is pretty entertaining if just for the option of playing along in your browser at home.

I like top gear when they don't try to be funny.

Agree 100%.

Hopefully the format will improve as the series goes on.

[Brahms]

I really like Foneshop, but no one else does. =[

Other than that I've mainly been watching Seinfeld.

[Millicent Bystander]

Top Gear, hopefully they are back on form and have a longer series run than last time.

Is anyone else getting excited about The Song of Ice and Fire on Sky Atlantic?

[Officer Dibble]

Don't really watch much live TV due to not having a TV or license, other than Top Gear on iPlayer.

Other than that I've been watching Dexter and Castle.

[Chaos]

Enjoying the following=

True Blood
Yes, I know it's lame but it's a good watch to me

Breaking Bad
Old science teacher gets cancer and goes crazy. Starts cooking crystal meth.. Good show

Bones is an interesting watch sometimes
King of the Hill/South Park/Family Guy ect are also good time wasters, SP especially

[Tommy the Cat]

Just checked out Episodes, I really dig that.

Otherwise I'm going through Father Ted again because it's been years.

[Guilt]

Dexter is the only thing I watch on TV except football/F1, looking forward to some of the stuff on Sky Atlantic like broadwalk empire though.

I also watch Sky Poker when im playing on a TV table if that counts.
