I will admit I'm mildly interested in the fact that it involves "hard women", but that's just because he was ripped for his portrayal of women in the first season.

It's been DVD-- and a little online for me-- for 4 years now. It was down to my service's sheer expense, plus me being down to only a tiny handful I'd still make it a point to watch (Venture Bros, Mad Men, & Breaking Bad) in those last months. Don't miss it that much.

I think I may give Mad Men another shot if it's on Netflix, Prime or Hulu. I tried watching it a few years ago, but it didn't immediately click so I moved on to something else.

I just started into the third season of Game of Thrones. We don't have HBO but I buy the seasons on blu-ray as they come out.
What a show, with such great acting. I love it. Very tempted to dive into the books but honestly there is no time for it when looking at the "to read" stack of comics on the shelf.
Finished watching Breaking Bad on Netflix a month or two ago. Great show, but man there are some depressing moments. Looking forward to watching Bryan Cranston in the upcoming Godzilla flick.
I watched the first season of Walking Dead and really enjoyed it. Need to catch up on the rest of the seasons as well at some point.
Oh, and I watch Toy Hunter and Comic Book Men religiously.

The 3rd and 4th seasons have been weaker. |

I was expecting something else, not sure what exactly, and when it wasn't that I just couldn't get into it. I think knowing what I'm getting into this time may make it more enjoyable. |

My wife is the big TV fan in the household. I watch a few shows with her, and DVR a bunch, but they tend to pile up on me unwatched.
I do watch Agents of SHIELD, and have liked it, not loved it, but it had taken an upswing the last several episodes (for me since the introduction of Deathlok).
My wife and I regularly watch Face Off on SyFy (which just had its season finale), and Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
I have been watching Cosmos, but am a few episodes behind on the DVR. Similarly, I have DVRed Arrow from the beginning but am still trying to catch up, having lost my way somewhere in season 1.
Turn looked interesting, and I DVRed it, but haven't watched it yet.
I've been watching/DVRing repeats of Jonny Quest on BOOM lately too.
I watched the first season and part of the second of Game of Thrones when we had HBO, but we no longer do, and honestly I preferred the books to the show. I did however think Peter Dinklage was magnificent as Tyrion and was worth watching for in and of himself. At some point I will borrow the DVD for a friend I play D&D with or get them form the library and catch up, but I have so many other things that are a priority.
A guilty pleasure in Comic Book Men when its on, I see all of its faults, but I still enjoy watching it to see what comes through the door next.
My wife regularly watches The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, so I see those quite often as well, but don't watch them of my own accord. I don't dislike them, just wouldn't watch them if she didn't. There are however, a whole host of shows she watches I avoid like the plague (Glee at the top of that list).
We have Hulu Plus as well, and I have been sampling some shows there, and trying to rewatch/finish the second season of Jeremiah as I saw the first season but never the second. I also checked out a few random episodes of the old Isis show there as well.

Season 4 of Louie on FX is off to a good start.

That might be interesting. I imagine it having a Dick Tracy feel to it. In the Batman mythology, were there any costumed heroes or villains running around before he took the cape? |

My wife and I regularly watch Face Off on SyFy (which just had its season finale) This is the first competition show that I find completely enjoyable. I think it's because it's the first show where the judges are all likable and don't try to make the show about themselves. I also never feel like someone who doesn't deserve to lose that week is going to lose. Is BOOM the same thing as Bommerang? I've never seen Johnny Quest, but my love of Venture Bros has made me interested. |

I especially like that they don't create a lot of phony conflicts between the contestants. Cei-U! I summon the makeup kit! |

My wife and I regularly watch Face Off on SyFy (which just had its season finale), and Jim Henson's Creature Shop. I thoroughly enjoy these shows. There was a pretty comprehensive thread about Face Off in the old TV Forum. I think I've seen every season. |

Yes, Boom is Boomerang, mea culpa, just typed it wrong (or had the shortcut that appears on the Guide on the TV in my brain instead of the full name. -M |
