[algunz]

[Still-ill]

It was ironically blocked by the Emmy's so I didn't

-"not yet"

I really want to see this but don't have access to a TV with HBO. Jonathan Ames is one of my favorite writers.

So Bored to Death is a show-about what?

[Hopeless Semantic]

Its about a struggling writer, (Jason Schwarztman) who moonlights as a gumshoe. He is also dealing with life's games and going through it all..Bradley Cooper expands on his roll from The Hangover. He's as neurotic and looney in Bored to Death as he was in the movie. Ted Danson is hilarious, too.

You mean Zach Galifianakis.

I want to see this, too. I read Ames this summer and loved it.

You mean Zach Galifianakis.

Yeah...I got that one wrong...thanks Eric.

But he is basically the same guy...

[iv3rdawG]

I really enjoyed it.

No, Zach is funny. Bradley is just deep down dirty attractive, that's about it.

[Hopeless Semantic]

No, Zach is funny. Bradley is just deep down dirty attractive, that's about it.

No, what I meant was that he (Zach) is as funny in Bored to Death as he was in The Hangover...not that Bradley Cooper was as funny as Zach.

This was a major birthday mistake.

[coldstart]

Very enjoyable show, it will be interesting to see if it makes it.

Also "I read it in my diary." I made some noise that was halfway between a gufaw and "awwwwww".

[C DUB YA]

loved the show

[Alligator Bogaloo]

Closing the first episode with the T.V. On The Radio song, Halfway Home. Classic...

[bleep]

cute show. i can stick around for a second episode.

last night's Mad Men episode took the cake though. um, bloody good.

[shermanoaksyo]

season 2 has been fantastic. i hope they do a full 12 episodes, next round.

[humanoid]

I love this show...Jason Schwartzman needs to be slapped repeatedly, but overall I think the show is pretty great

[shermanoaksyo]

Hodgman's character is history's greatest monster

[Aurgasm]

This is the best show on Television, imho.

I would love someone like Ted Danson's character in my life. lol


edit: I don't own a television or watch many other shows, but of those that have been suggested or that I have watched this is the most intelligently written show I've seen.

[algunz]

I agree. It's the one show on tv that I enjoy from beginning to end, and I like that it's only a half hour.

"Still smoking a lot of weed?"
"Well, everyday but not a lot."

the little subtle bits of dialogue in this show are so good, and probably the best chemistry between actors on a show.

I watched the first two seasons this summer and fell in love with this show. It's pretty awesome that HBO supports a show like this.

The actors do a great job and the characters seem realistic and tangible; I'm unable to identify with say, Richard Antrum, but I somehow recognize his behaviour and idiosyncrasies as being real.

[citizenerased]

yeah, and this last episode hit something on the head when George said that they are emotionally available, just not with women. You get the sense that they genuinely care about each other, something that's pretty rare to be portrayed well.

[zenidogx]

The best.

[nathanfairchild]

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! HBO just announced that they're not bringing this back.
