What's on TV

Definitely off topic!
There's a lot of good stuff on the box right now - from dramas,
to comedy's to talent shows.
What are you all watching? Or do you disagree, and think
everything on right now is rubbish!? :o :D
I'm personally enjoying The X Factor right now (despite all the
controversy surrounding last night), and they're showing re-runs
of Fawlty Towers on Gold - John Cleese is so funny :D, amongst
various others.
Only thing that seems to always be missing is a Geocaching show
- there are podcasts, so why can't we have a caching chat-show?
:D ;D

X Factor is not my thing, but it is on in the house sometimes so
I cannot escape it. I bought 5 copies of the Rage Against The
Machine track a couple of years back to help the anti-X Factor
Christmas No1 campaign... Don't hate me for it ;D A lot of
people follow the show so it must have an appeal that I just not
grasping.
I don't watch a lot of TV. I like a good movie. I watched the
directors cut of Bladerunner on TV the other night. The few TV
shows I do watch at the moment include the latest series of
Whitechapel, though I have not followed it before this series. I
watched the first episode of Agents of Shield the other night..
not bad, but I don't know if I will have time to carry on with
that one.
For comedy relief I occasionally watch an episode of Family Guy.
We also have Big Bang Theory on quite a bit as it's Tom's
favourite show of the moment. I do find that quite funny, but
only because I see a little bit of all the main characters in
myself.

:D - I don't think an X Factor winner has had a Christmas
number 1 since then, actually :o
Ahh we really don't watch enough movies - which is a shame :(
haven't heard of Bladerunner, will need to check it out :)
Haven't ever watched The Big Bang theory despite many people
saying how good it is - I'm sure I will one day :D

X-factor - what is that :o
Bladerunner - now that is a classic film, got the directors cut
DVD :)
It's that time of year, so the Mrs is glued to that dance
programme that has just started on the BBC.
I got an amazing deal from Amazon for 6 months of full
LoveFilms, so catching up on those films or series I missed,
either via Internet or post :) but it's due to end in Nov.

I remember seeing Bladerunner at the cinema In 1982, its still
way ahead of its time and fairly true to the book. This was one
of Philip K. Dick's masterpieces and I think it was one of the
few treatments of his books that he was involved with before he
died. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" is a great SF book.

An update on my latest TV watching.. well, not a lot has changed
:D The new series of Big Bang Theory is showing on E4 currently
on Thursdays, so am watching that.
A new american comedy series started this week straight after
Big Bang, called Brooklyn Nine Nine, it was actually quite
funny. I find US comedies quite often don't do it for me.
Although half of me is american I still don't get some of their
style of humour, like many of them do not seem to understand
ours. After Brooklyn on the same channel they showed another
comedy series 2 Broke Girls, after a few minutes I just had to
turn off as I was just not getting any laughs.. I knew when it
was supposed to be funny because of canned laughter, but I just
didn't get it :P
Not a lot of time for movies lately. I have been given a few by
my brother for Christmas on DVD to get through sometime. One was
'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' which I have watched on two
sittings yesterday and today as not enough time for a whole
movie in one go. It was absolutely ludicrous, but a good fun
action horror at the same time.

I would be interested to know what the new Riddick film is like
too. I have seen the first couple. Out of those two I actually
preferred the first one, even though it had a much lower budget.

One thing led to another and I haven't actually watched it yet,
will give feedback when I do.
