Favourite TV programme?

[Shane_Bos]

I dont get to watch TV too much these days but i used to watch Family Guy and an english series called Black Books and i bought them both today on DVD cos theyre the best TV programmes ever!

(IMO)

So, what are yours?

Discuss...

[soserious]

black books was pretty good, i got a dvd of that too.
blackadder series was great, red dwarf, many..
but it depends for what.. entertainment, education?

im really liking the ray mears stuff and planet life stuff where it explains the life of the planet and how life evolved. fascinating.

[MagnumXL]

i got family guy too. best shit ever :lol:

[Ordo Ferrum]

Theres a new series of family guy coming out soon along with another show made by the same people called american dad i think, about a father and his family and he works for the fbi or some shit lol.

Is family guy that cartoon with the highly intellectual speaking baby?

[Steve Madden]

Nip/Tuck baby! new season this summer :cool

Is family guy that cartoon with the highly intellectual speaking baby?

Yup, hes a genius but he stil has the naivety of a child. For example, he creates a machine to control the weather but he does it for the sole purpose, to kill broccoli (sp?).

One programme that i do want to wath is on channel 5 on 23rd of may at 9pm. Its about this guy who is a savant (like the guy in the film 'rain man') only this guy knows hes a savant. Interesting stuff. I read an article on him. He memorised the mathematical number 'Pi' to 22,514 decimal places :cool

Cowboy Bebop - the daddy of tv shows you should all check it out.
Family Guy definitely deserves a shout too pure genius.

[soserious]

whats savant? ive seen rain man but i dont understand.
isnt `pi` 3.14? the diameter of a circle x 3.14 = the circumference?

i like family guy usually- but what pisses me off about programmes like that is the damn formula: guy gets buff, face lift, guy gets hurt, face and bdy back to before. why always the need to go back to the status quo? its like..all this stuff is gonna happen but after everythings gonna go back the way it was.. why dude why? life isnt like that. the only exception i can think of is ned flanders wife who stayed dead.
it just gets on my nerves thats all. kid walks out door in some war torn place- kid steps on mine- kid loses legs. period. kids legs remain blown off. life is like that , ony 1 chance. programmes have some responsibility to show the consequences of actions.

i am stupid mostly, an whats more often i dont feel REAL. sometimes i feel like i can just cut my arm off and it wont happen and somehow itll be alright- its hard to imagine anything going bad. and thats dangerous-it leads to sloppyness which most definitly DOES have serious consequences that we take to the grave.

btw dexters laboratory and spongebob squarepants :wink:

I have the fucking same thing. I love it when a show develops and evolves.
Most of time, at the end of the episode, everythings back to normal. :x

[soserious]

oh, and this:

i grew up watching cartoons like many people.
we had 1 tv in my moms room. she`d shout "kids cartoon, " or "tom and jerry" or something, now watching that stuff now i say WHAT tHE FUCK?! that shit is so violent, so spiteful and so wrong dudes. how can that be healthy for a developing mind? itchy and scratchy obviously the parady of that is disgusting-how can that stuff be `amusing`? i mean im not saying there should be fluffy stupid gentle sheep giving each other sweets all day on cartoons or nuthin-no- im glad the level of `intelligence` has increased on cartoons where much of the stuff is actually quite adult in a good way for developing minds (and for adults ;) )


theres other stuff aswell, like american `sense of humour` is (stereotypically) different to the british `sense of humour` a lot of your stuff we just dont find funny and vice-versa. but there are many exceptions t that rule im just genralising.
comedys great. WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY one of my alltime favourites! i rarely cry with laughter but that stuff cracks me up even now.
- colin mockery doing a tv voice thingh with he others "what have you don to my hair?!"

the american ones were a little different, obviously like i was saying. but still good stuff none-the-less. :D
wish it was still on




HOOYA!

yeah, its almost like a big anti-climax.
:x

[Spike]

Grand Designs is the best show on TV at the moment.

[Godma]

True, Spike.

Kevin McCloud knows his stuff. Did you see the violin factory conversion? It was a revisited one.

[Spike]

Yep. I kept wondering what I'd do if the LFO lived next door and moaned about the exact tint of the bricks.

A savant is a person who can do amazing sums in their head(eg: 2,893,093,45 x 9,735,678) instantly but find it hard to tell their left from their right. Theres about 50 savants in the world and scientists dont know what causes some one to become a savant, its a mystery.

Other things they have is the power of a great memory. (Eg: 'Pi' is a number, however, it is irrational, meaning the number never ends. There are people at this moment working out the next decimal place to the number 'pi'. You are correct in saying it is 3.14 however that is only the number rounded to 3 decimal places. At the moment, it has no end, much like 1/3 = 0.333333333333 etc.) This geezer has remembered 'pi' to over 20,000 decimal places.

You could probably do some research on savants, or watch this programme im on about. I promise you itll be interesting.

[Godma]

I think they were mostly pissed off that they weren't consulted beforehand - I mean, they were acting quite childishly. It wasn't one of the 8 wonders of the world, afterall.

Apart from the prison windows, the apartment looked pretty good, I think. If not a little too modern in places.

And the stove thing was a joke! £34,000! Rich Dutch banking bastard!

[Bobo]

Band of brothers -DVD box: money well spent. One of the best series ever!

[Ed]
