comes back in all pale and disoriented and says: "corn? i don't remember eating any corn...."

is that it?

I remember the corn line from the Austin Power's movie with Fat Bastard, but we haven't watched all of PL yet. Really doesn't sound like a PL line though - too potty. FWIW, there was a one-season "Ferris Bueller" show that wasn't nearly as good, so it might have been that one instead.

If quirky comedy is what you're after, here's some others.
Sledge Hammer and Police Squad
The Tick - live action. The cartoon was OK too.
My Name Is Earl for something more recent and karmic.

She was awesome as Jason's GF on "True Blood." So. Hot.

This should have had a bigger audience. One of the first UK mocu-mentary programmes

Operation Good Guys
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/operationgoodguys/

Started watching Spartacus and its pretty interesting - lots of tits, ass, and fucking mixed with some weird blood splattering scenes which actually just look bad. Amazing how there is actually more fucking than fighting in the movie - Soft porn.

Damn ..... I was just starting to think the fookin' bots were asleep.

fucking trips me out how good they have gotten at posting related statements.

good show. kinda on the light side, not laugh out loud funny except sometimes for ted danson's character. the prostate exam was classic. i think it's his best role ever.


looking for comedies at the moment. my wife and i are all caught up on 30 Rock and The Office. what are some other good comedies that aren't dumbed down for the masses?

What do you guys think about the office now that micheal scott is gone

pretty funny still, i think, so far

don't know when it's starting but breaking bad is showing from episode one wednesday at midnight in two hour blocks. one of the top 2 shows on tv.

While I personally have not watched any of these, several friends highly recommend the following:

Life On Mars (the BBC series)

Luthor (BBC series)

Edge of Darkness (BBC series)

State of Play (BBC series)


as for my personal recommendations:

Firefly - incredibly savvy sci-fi series that never got it's due justice.

Extras - if you liked Ricky G. in The Office, this is a pretty funny series about him being an extra in big Hollywood movies

Spaced - hilarious British comedy starring Simon Pegg pre-Saun of the Dead

Great thread... My personal favorites are It's always sunny and about every season of the office, the character play is amazing in both of these. Also Dexter is a good series to watch and is fun to follow. Just started watching Modern Family and have nothing but good things to say so far.

Brotherhood is a great gangster/mob series. I think they only did 2 or 3 seasons on showtime.

Highly recommend a series called Intelligence. One of the best series I've seen. It is a canadian crime drama, think: trailer park boys meets the wire. In all seriousness, it is great television.

How has 30 Rock not been mentioned yet?

i am glad this came back.....i was just thinking about needing a new show today.....been watching always sunny, but it is kind of annoying because I realize there were times that I must have watched this show every week.

extremely dated but the original James at 15 pilot / movie is still somewhat watchable. Remember its 1977 for crhistsakes. In the day it was revolutionary, way way ahead of its time. The actual series is pretty hard to watch but parts are just priceless. Uncle buyin james a ho for his 16th birthday; gohnarea from the sweedish exchange student in the pre-aids days, Mellisa sue anderson from little house on the parrie wanting to fuck in HS...all awsome win for its time.

Best new show this season, hands down: Homeland on Showtime. Good shit, extremely well written.

Was just looking to see if anyone had mentioned this most excellent series.

A Manchurian Candidate for the war against terror generation.

And claire danes ass.

That too.

Hawt.

Been getting into Hell on Wheels on AMC.

For current season - Boss on Starz. Decently scripted, acted, and nice titties regularly.

anyone remember 'the night stalker'? it was like the rockford files with vampires, werewolves, and other various paranormals. i used to love that one in the 70s.

loved night stalker and rockford files. talk about a blast from the past. especially night stalker. haven't thought about that in decades.

Read a great interview with the guy that plays the Swede.

Matter of of time before Bohanan bangs the surveyors widow, 2 more episodes?

Parks & Rec!!! Surprised nobody mentioned this. Ron Swanson might be the funniest character on TV, everrrr.

Hell on Wheels looks real good, after getting caught up with Breaking Bad (new favorite show) I'm sold on AMC shows, but I'll wait a while to have a bunch of episodes to watch in a row.

Justified is also pretty awesome but still only 2 seasons to it.

Heard good things about Homeland. Somewhat like 24?

Dexter and Lost (except the ending) are also excellent.

Can't forget about Modern Family and Parenthood. I like p-hood because you get almost every emotion in every episode - makes you laugh and cry all in one. Not the kind you're on the edge of your seat for, but still very well done.

And Sons of Anarchy, the League. And Wilfred, surprisingly entertaining in a dark way. FX shows are awesome overall.

He's great. The problem is it's disappointing when there's an episode with little Ron content.

Season ender was incredible....

I spent most of this season wondering how Homeland was going to be a multi-season show and not a miniseries, but this final episode did a pretty great job of setting things up for more (without being lame/annoying).

californication, leverage, white collar, big bang theory, how i met your mother.

dont know if they were mentioned, but all of the above are really good shows imo.

I thought the finale of Homeland kind of sucked. It was predictable and the whole memory loss aspect was fucking gay. It was like something from Days of Our Lives.

House of Lies? absurdism a la Californication with a similarly liberal salting of tits and ass.

What, you've missed the hundreds of hours and day-long marathons of 'Storage war'?

been huluing Grimm, lacking character and plot development, getting better, and has potential.

'Parks & Recreations' is pretty fucking funny

What kind of damn cave am I living in?

Just watched the first few episodes of the "new" Battlestar Galactica, Loving It!

Excellent choice, that is one of the best series of all time.

The GU10 LED bulb must be the best choice if you want to save electronic energy. The ambience of the GU10 LED bulb is fine and you can do your work in soft lights. They have a strong anti-strike capacity, do not break easily and are made of environmentally friendly materials. These bulbs are especially invented to overcome all the hurdles and weaknesses that come with traditional bulbs.
Use LED GU10 to replace the old one~!
