Pretty good. I like the modern take on Holmes and Watson.
But I thought Ep.2 was pretty stoopid. Yea, it's kinda annoying when being Chinese ruins all these eeevil yellow people tropes on tv.
Spoiler (hover to show)
The same way being German ruins Nazis-want-to-rule-the-world tropes and being Russian ruins I'm a big bad Russian tropes.
FI I didn't follow that. What do you mean by "tropes" the way they speak or the way certain nationalities are used over and over again for a stereotype?

As for Sherlock Holmes, I tried watching the first episode bot got bored after 5 min. I hadn't been aware that it was a modern take on the story and was unpleasantly surprised.


I watched Modern Family and had some of good laughs same with Community, a show that I liked to watch.

Castle is not one of my favorite shows but it's nice to watch when I just want to get my mind of things and not pay much attention to what's going on. I probably wouldn't watch it if I hadn't known Nathan F.'s previous work.

When I heard that Felicia Day joined the cast for S4 I started watching Eureka and it grew on me. I enjoyed S4 a lot.
Warehouse 13 grew on me too, I gave it a shot because I learned that it was created by Jane Espenson. It's light entertainment that got much better in S2 IMHO

Also Caprica is coming back soon yay

One of my guilty pleasures is Vampire Dairies, it was quite entertaining much to the contrary of what I'd expected.

Glee and Being Erica are also on my list

I do like TV shows *blush*

I believe she was using it as a slang for how certain ethnicities are stereotyped in movies.

I dont know if its a favorite but I watched the first in a series of 6 episodes of the Monty Python Documentary. Very cool to hear how these men were linked together and created the masterpiece that they did.

Lois: Brian, you have got to get Dylan under control. He's terrorizing the whole family.
 
Peter: Yeah, you wouldn't believe what he did to Meg yesterday. He made her watch the other 178 hours of Monty Python stuff that isn't funny or memorable.
[cutaway to Meg tied to a chair in the attic, sitting in front of a TV playing Monty Python]
 
Pythonesque Man on TV: I have a pet hedgehog named Zippy, and I shall walk her to town. And each time my foot hits the ground, I shall say "Boing! Boing! Boing!"
 
Meg: I'm a girl! I don't even like the good Monty Python sketches!

Let's be honest, most of MP was just plain weird.



I must be getting old, as the only programme I watch religiously is the 10 O'Clock news (BBC of course).

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

:P me too.. and the weather channel and nature programs :D

I watched back to back new episodes of Lost Tapes I was scared enough after 1/3 of the strigoi vampire one, that I had to move across the room from the tv.. And midway through the poltergeist one, I moved to the kitchen, and peeked at my tv from around the corner :D

Im sure you know that "main stream" doesnt really apply to most of us here right?  ::)

When we were young we would be getting out of the car as a family and my Dad would yell "Silly Walk Day" and we would all do ridiculous things on our way into where ever we were going. Excellent memory!!

Python was being screened just as you came into the world wasn't it?

I used to love the Goodies too and to this day cannot take Bill Oddie seriously.
