BERIGAN Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 The Best That Never Was: The Marcus Dupree Story. What a story. Life can be a bitch a times... I just happened to catch that on ESPN a few months ago...amazing he has been able to handle all that happened to him....seeing footage of him in high school, he was clearly as good a running back as there ever has been.

jazzbo Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 A televised appearance by Obama here in Austin. The man knows how to talk to an audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 The latest episode. It remains good. Our current favorite along with Good Wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Re-watching the Fringe season finale. Sure didn't expect this! What to say, it seemed almost like a series finale but also opened up a huge number of questions. Fringe is amazing, for me it completely eclipses the over rated Lost. Some other goodies I've been enjoying from the BBC, who have been on a roll lately. Exile Journalist returns home and starts to piece together a dark story involving his Alzheimer stricken dad. Very well done three part drama with a good story that had plenty of juicy twists. The Crimson Petal & The White Nobody does Victoriana like the BBC and I think they have outdone themselves with this brilliant four part drama. Gillian Anderson shows that her fine performance in Bleak House was not a one off fluke. The Shadow Line Only the first part so far but it was excellent, dark, creepy and tantalizing.

jazzbo Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well, in my opinion Lost at its best eclipses Fringe, but Lost was not always at its best. Fringe has begun to incorporate elements of Alias, to good effect. The Good Wife was a really solid episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiwetel Ejiofor is an interesting actor. Edited May 11, 2011 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fringe has begun to incorporate elements of Alias, to good effect. The Good Wife was a really solid episode. I agree with Kinuta on this, I much prefer Fringe to Lost. Currently watching the first season of 'Third Watch' having found a very cheap used DVD. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Interesting. I don't feel the same way about Fringe, I don't get emotionally involved in the same way. And I loved the ambiguity and complexity and nonsense. Watched the Secrets of the Dead episode about the Minoan civilization. Very interesting.

A Lark Ascending Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Started series 1 of 'Spiral'. Laure seems much happier than she gets by series 3. I've decided never to go to Paris again. It seems even more violent than Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Looks interesting. Chiwetel Ejiofor is an interesting actor. I like him too, though I have no idea how to pronounce his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Watching Paul Simon on SNL, performing "So Beautiful, So What." It ain't necessarily so Paul! If this is a hit, Miles' estate will probably sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 The Good Wife finale was quite good. What a tangle! She moves away from her husband. . . and now her firm wishes to become involved in his political career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Watched Treme & The Killing episodes from Sun. on our DVR. Both were excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Haven't caught the Treme bug yet but it's only a matter of time. Watching "Surface" a mediocre science fiction show from 2005 that only made it through one season. It stars Lake Bell who is easy to watch.

Shawn Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 getting ready to start on Netflix: This looks quite intriguing. I'll watch about anything with Martin Freeman in it, he's a fantastic character actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Homicide-Life On The Street Season 5 Very impressive level of story telling makes compulsive viewing. Michelle Forbes enters the proceeding as the new medical examiner with style and confidence. A lot of these episodes could easily be fleshed out to a film length thriller. :tup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Started watching Treme, Season 1, on loan from a friend. Interesting. Seems a bit too "something" to be real, but entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
