The Cathode Ray Mission: The Misc. Television Thread

[Trashcan_alligator]

its going to get cancelled. the pilot had over a million viewers and last weeks episode only peaked at 550,000...


FUCK

that's not really bad for a low-budget show on a cable station. daily show only draws a million tops, for example. i doubt it's always sunny in philadelphia pulled in half a million ever in its first season.

Mother fucking Shark Week starts Sunday.

I hate Americans. Bunch of talent-hating Glee-loving pricks.

[york707]

this is kind of crazy - i am lying on the couch, hungover, watching a horrible movie that I have never seen called Videodrome, and James Woods just walked into the "Cathode Ray Mission" and I was trying to figure out where I had heard that before... and here I am.

[SoulDischarge]

Horrible movie? Fuck you.

[M Sparks]

Look out York, you're about to get a beatdown from HandBanana.

[softbulletin]

Just finished watching the entire 2 series of "The Inbetweeners," what a hilarious show.

[york707]

I am actually kind of amazed I have never seen, much less heard of, this movie before.

[amyzzz]

I love that goddamn movie.

[york707]

It's safe to say that it is better than BASEketball, which is what I am now watching.

I just watched the first season of Better Off Ted on Netflix Instant. I enjoyed it. Some of you might also enjoy it. It's a quirky comedy and nothing more, but it's a good way to fill up some lying around time. It sort of reminds me in parts of a mellower, American IT Crowd. Plus, Portia De Rossi is in it.

watching "secret admirer"...the 80's gave birth to some great cheesy movies. man, i wanna bone 1985 kelly preston.

[HunterGather]

I'm WAY late, but I just started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. I just finished season 3. Why did I wait so long to see this?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I can't fathom calling Videodrome a horrible movie. I wonder if you just don't get it?

[El.C.Dub]

curb is larry david at his finest. several times funnier than seinfeld.

[chairmenmeow47]

pretty, pretty good.

[M Sparks]

I can't fathom calling Videodrome a horrible movie.

I can't fathom having never heard of it. It seems so notorious.

Since HandBanana didn't show up to post this...



How could anyone in 1983 not want to see that?

New series on AMC looks interesting. 'Rubicon' premieres tomorrow. Think I'll give it a shot as that network is generally pretty solid.

No, I definitely got, watched it, and even enjoyed it. But you can't deny how cheesy it is and, really, that is a fairly bad movie. I like a lot of bad movies, though.

[york707]

I guess this is the time I should also state that I absolutely can't stand Curb Your Enthusiasm.

[HunterGather]

Speaking of AMC, that zombie TV series WALKING DEAD looks like it's gonna be really good!

[SoulDischarge]

I guess this is the time I should also state that I absolutely can't stand Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I'm with you here. It's just a bunch of smug mugging.


And yeah, Videodrome has a lot of very obvious faults, but it's one of those movies where it adds to the charm for me. The sleazy, low rent cable access 80s feel is entirely appropriate for the subject matter.

Jesus Christ. This commercial (courtesy of the Georgia Meth Project) just aired.



Okay, you convinced me: I won't do meth.

[HunterGather]

Yeah, there's like a whole collection of ads by the makers of that one.

So yeah, they basically reinforced me to never try meth

The best one is the son who breaks into his house and attacks his mom and steals stuff

[SoulDischarge]

Actually trying meth is the best deterrent against using meth.

[chairmenmeow47]

rubicon looks awful. i hate tv shows that appear to center around one big mystery. how far can you take that?

[donkey sex]

twelve episodes right now

[tessalasset]

Yeah, there's like a whole collection of ads by the makers of that one.

i'm watching all of these right now. the boyfriend and the mother ones are the worst so far.

How the hell is The Cleveland Show still on the air?

[JustSteve]
