"Psych" pineapples remind me of Superman references in "Seinfeld." I appreciate devices like this.

Just watched 15 minutes of 1600 Penn...worst show ever?

[PensFanInDC]

Watching Banshee on Cinemax right now. So far its a more violent Sons of Anarchy.

There is probably not a more loathsome person on a television series than

Now accepting offers for my Sons Of Anarchy Blu Ray collection. I have Seasons 1-4 in basically mint condition. Watched them all and im wondering what I can get for them. Shoot me a pm.

Big Bang Theory is still the funniest show on TV to me. I literally laugh almost the entire time it's on.

The writing quality is so inconsistent.

Sometimes its gold and then other times it just feels half assed and forced.

Isn't that Chuck Lorre's M.O.?

Season 6 of Rescue Me was awesome.

Is the random appearance of a pineapple an inside joke on Psych?

Its a fun game to play when watching psych with friends. First to find the pineapple wins (it's always hidden somewhere).

I think I've said it about 9 times already in this thread, but...

<3 Person of Interest

Iron Chef America just keeps getting worse. Their new "twist" I guess is supposed to make it more interesting, but I just think it further contributes to subpar offerings. Now, the first dish always has to be served within 20 minutes and roughly around the 40 minute mark, they bring out a "culinary curveball" that the chefs must incorporate into a dish... either an ingredient or equipment.

I think one of the things that made the original Iron Chef so good (aside from the fact that the Iron Chefs were much much better) was that there was no artificial dish limit that had to be met. The chefs could focus on making one epic dish if they so chose, or many if they preferred. The result is more focused cooking instead of trying to stretch the ingredient across a predetermined number of dishes.

Agreed, but it's a nice antidote to Top Chef.
No matter the drawbacks, the ideas of the chefs are always pretty high end.

Did anyone else watch Banshee?

I friggin hate

Since the culinary curveball actually seems like a genuine "secret ingredient", I don't think it's a bad thing.

Honestly what made the original Iron Chef better to me was just the hilarity with the dubbed voices......and the chairman or whatever taking a huge bite out of the yellow pepper every time.

Jennifer Carpenter tweeted a couple of interesting tidbits yesterday...Dexter will be back in June, and she is "pretty, pretty sure" it will be the last season.

[newarenanow]

Don't Trust the B was supposed to be new again last night, but it seemed like an early one.

Not sure what is going on with that show. I love it, but now it seems it won't have a very long shelf life anymore.

[Letang Is The Truth]

is this the golden age for television? i feel like there are so many epic television shows that are on now, each one is greater than the next

[MRandall25]

I'd say the shows that aren't on the big networks (CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC) have been getting better, but the shows on the big 4 are worse than they have been in the past.

[Digitalgypsy66]

I'd concur with that statement. The networks can't compete and offer the freedom that an HBO, Showtime, or AMC offers. But yeah, Golden Age of TV works for me.

[blackjack68]

Except Person of Interest. Still solid.

[Digitalgypsy66]

Except Person of Interest. Still solid.

Oh yeah, without a doubt. I'm already behind two episodes. Thought it was on hiatus until late January.

[Alejandro Rojas]

Ok finished all seven Seasons of Rescue Me.

I hate Tommy Gavin's family. They all cause his problems. They are all jerks.
