Freeker Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Just watched the first episode, it was good...Love the mom(soccer mom/PTA/pot dealer)Basically an inside look at fucked up suburbia, the pot looks like crap but they got the lingo and the attitude down. It will keep me entertained until Showtimes best show "Huff" comes back on the air.care to watch for yourself;http://www.mininova.org/tor/87081 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm psyched about another season of Arrested Development myself - I miss the whole Bluth clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Sounds interesting enough. I'm downloading it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I started to well up when Nate died on Six Feet Under. But I actually lost it in the last episode where David breaks down at the funeral. I'm pretty sure I've never cried during a tv show until now.I can't put my finger on the secret but it's well written and well executed, and if it made me cry I guess it's pretty compelling. And like alot of HBO's hits it's ending while at the top of its game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoolady Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm looking forward to watching Weeds, since my two favorite shows (Six Feet Under and Queer as Folks) are ending this year. I also cried during that last episode of Six Feet Under. I'm going to miss that show a lot. The writting is incredible. I'm also looking forward to the new Chris Rock show "Everybody hates Chris Rock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yup, Six Feet Under was a real tear jerker. David is one hell of a character. His display of grief as well as Ruth's were pretty spectacular.Sorry to contribute to this spoiler for anyone just catching the first few seasons.

Diggzz Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Zero - from what I've heard Arrested Development is done, they didn't even fully finish last season Ibeleive they stopped production with 2 or 3 episodes to go). Hands down one of the funniest shows on TV, but try to tell that to the Reality-TV fanatics down south, they don't know good TV when they see it.

MarcO Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not too much of a TV-head but I do look forward to a few things this season.Number One is Arrested Development, the gift that keeps on giving. Everything about this show is perfect, the kind of show that is even funnier the next day when you're walking around thinking about it. I hate to admit it, well actually I'm proud to admit it, but I don't see how that Tommy Lee reality show can fail, where he goes to college. He's creepy and greasy but hard to ignore, this show will be pretty funny and, I bet, surprisingly sweet.Also looking forward to checking out "Everybody Hates Chris" and the show that dude from "Super Size Me" is bringing forwrd, where they put people into contrary situations and follow their progress, like making an Evangelical Christian live as a Muslim for a month, or a sober Soccer Mom/housewife live in a frat house for a month.Finally, I wish I had the Travel Network so I could check out Anthony Bourdains new travelling food show "No Reservations". Hopefully, the Food Network will pick this up.I anticipate in 2006 there will be a reality show in which Del, Canned Beats, Zero and Shainhouse are locked in a mini-van together and forced to drive long distances. I'd watch that every fucking week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd watch that every fuÇking week.Oh man.........They get a hat filled with band names ranging from Weezer to SCI with everything in between. Each week, a different name is pulled and they are required to get to the show and procure tickets in time. Afterwards, each gives a 2 minute solo review of said 'show' ala the end of Blind Date. I am so giddy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yes!!! And, they all have to take a mystery drug 3 hrs before arriving at each concert, ranging from LSD to laxatives....look out, Neilson ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 what about bringing dates to the concerts?!?!?randomly drawn calamity jane, kaidy mae, arcane and uummmmmm i dunno- howler?!?!?that'd add a little spice to the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) no, sorry, no dates, just the four dudes. Edited August 10, 2005 by Guest sometimes I shock myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Oh, you know the producers (us) are going to be throwing curve balls at them. Like, thinking they are going to see the Slip, but turns out to be Cavern instead. The bar would be filled with 200 shirtless jocks on uppers. Many of them paid to do *stuff* to our fateful four.Actually, that could be the name of the show.The Fateful Four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I was really more thinking sending them to town fairs in rural Alberta or Quebecois church bake sales and those kinds of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Oh my God, I have tears in my eyes you guys. It took me a minute to remember that this isn't (yet) a real show. Time to start pitchin'. *calling old high school friend at CBC...it's about time they got on the reality bandwagon* Too bad about the "no dates" rule. Throw Beats a bone, would ya.

MarcO Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) we'll consider dates for the second half of the first season. I just don't want them to get too distracted.Really, it's just letting these fine men get to know each other a little better, while locked in a car for thirteen hours at a time.In the first episode, they discover the minivan doesn't have a CD player and the speakers don't work.
