Only drawback was the fact that I've missed the earlier episodes and managed to lose the end of the recording on this one. Never was too good with technology. Can't help feeling that a read of the manual and an attempt at recording the next episode will be in order.

I'd ...Curse you, Piley, now I'm intrigued.<br /><br />I'd previously discounted True Blood as being another flavour-of-the-month, vampire-bandwagon bit of nonsense in the vein of (see what I did there?) Twilight. Now I think I'll give it a crack.<br /><br />I'm becoming a bit of a sucker for American TV shows. Like you, I've persevered with Lost despite losing interest midway through Season 3. The pay-off had better be pretty bloody spectacular, that's all I can say.<br /><br />Just finished watching both series of Breaking Bad which I recommend as tremendous fun.<br /><br />Also can't recommend Season 2 of Dexter highly enough. For me, the test of a good TV series is when it's midnight and you're thinking "I could just watch one more episode before bed - I can go into work a little later..." The second series of Dexter had me completely hooked.<br /><br />I also recommend the following:<br /><br />Lie To Me (1st series - great, 2nd series - bit weak so far)<br />Leverage (Derivative of Hustle, but very enjoyable)<br />Fringe (more JJ Abrams flummery, but worth a shot)<br />and, finally, there's a little gem called 'The Lost Room'. Check it out on IMDB. It was cancelled in its prime, but it's a fantastic idea and hugely watchable.<br /><br />Right, I'm off to track down some True Blood...Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01773088730561800442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-22738918799050363642009-10-21T19:35:07.768+01:002009-10-21T19:35:07.768+01:00Sorry my posts were very violent weren't they ...Sorry my posts were very violent weren't they !

It's surprised me by having a lot more depth than I thought it would. My Mrs doesn't watch it, and whenever I'm getting into an episode, she sometimes pops her head around the door to check on me. She always seems to do this during one of the 'adult scenes', and the programme has been re-christened 'Vampire Porn' in our house.<br /><br />Breaking Bad is another excellent series if you get chance to see it.Valentine Suicidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158284655510301196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-23166413920791169102009-10-20T21:05:39.827+01:002009-10-20T21:05:39.827+01:00EF - you are getting very violent!! 2 comments bot...EF - you are getting very violent!! 2 comments bother offering fights! I gave Flash Forward a swerve just because it was by the same people as LOST!!! That was my whole reason. They've caused me enough misery! <br /><br />Are you still sticking with LOST EF? I gave up half way through season 3. Then got tempted with the buzz for season 4 where they said everything would be answered - so went BACK to complete season 3 (still crap!) and did 4, which was a bit better, but did not answer many questions. 5 was awful. Waitng for the 6th and final one now. Ugh! Wish i'd stuck to my guns midway through 3 now!<br /><br />Nazz - Not got far enough to see Evan Wood yet Nazz, but will be dreading it now!!!

She says season 1 was bloodier and nastier. I don't have a problem with the show, and I realize it is supposed to be campy ala Dark Shadows. But the acting is soooooo horrible.

Firstly the constant hype put me off and when you add that to the fact that the whole Vampire thing (or should that be fang ?) don’t do much for me either , other than the exceptional work of Bela Lugosi !, then it was a priority call with all the other things I try to keep up with.<br /><br />I am a real bugger like you for the American series stuff and would be willing to argue and fight with anyone, who tries to persuade me that 24 and The Wire are not two of the greatest programmes ever made (in addition to The Goodies of course).<br /><br />So for now I will stick to my US Police and Government terrorist/conspiracy theory type stuff. Speaking of which my latest fave is ‘Flash Forward’ which is by the makers of LOST. It has started off really well but I am with you on the drivel that LOST became, and I am concerned that 20 + episodes developing the story could be too much. I am also hoping it is a one series subject as well which Life on Mars (UK Version) should have stayed as in my opinion ……. sorry I am rambling onto another subject now !E F RICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323043569136307149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-18211385016569003842009-10-20T08:31:18.102+01:002009-10-20T08:31:18.102+01:00Thanks Marmite... yes, and you were one of the one...Thanks Marmite... yes, and you were one of the ones I got the buzz from in the summer!! Think you are right... there have been so many episodes of LOST which are so obviously 'fillers'. Nothing happens, and the story doesn't moe forward at all. Just using up time. Bringing the series down to 12 episodes means you can cut all the waste and just hit the ground running. 'a friend' has provided me with season 2, and agree it seems even better.<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-11598346592969442792009-10-20T08:16:45.800+01:002009-10-20T08:16:45.800+01:00I didn't realise you were a fan Mr P.

I love True Blood (season 2 is even better than season 1) it's just great fun with decent acting and great characters.<br /><br />Like you I can't be bothered with all these 26 week marathons. I gave up on Dexter 3 quarters of teh way through seasomn 2 and Heroes after about 3 episodes of season 2. True Blood is different though because it all happens quickly and there is hardly any filler. <br /><br />The highlight of my televisual week was downloading Sunday nights episode when i got home from work on a Monday.
