1. Ooohhh...Larry Sanders!

:)

[Duer 157099]

13. I tuned in right when a very young Jon Stewart was on with Larry n/t

[muffin1]

21. Damn. I missed it.

In fact, I missed all of them. My pet-sitting clients called to say they were coming home early, so I spent the rest of the day straightening their house and picking up dog poo from their snow-covered yard! :)

[alsame]

22. It will be on weeknights at 11 pm (ET) starting tomorrow, Jan 3. You

can see them all!

I think it's one of the funniest shows ever...I didn't have cable when it first aired on HBO and only saw some episodes when Bravo aired them as repeats a few years later. But they were edited and censored, so I'm looking forward to seeing all the original episodes. :)

[muffin1]

23. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

:yourock:

[Tikki]

2. Tonight...BBC America is premiering their new Primeval..

Some of the original cast remains...

3. Pitbulls and Parolees? Really?

I'm so glad we don't lay out money for cable. :eyes:

[NJCher]

4. Awww, come now, Hippywife

Two Fat Ladies balances out the Pitbulls and Parolees. And don't tell me you can't get into a cooking show!

[JonLP24]

19. I like that show

I didn't see it enough when I did have cable and wish I watched more of it. It shows the day-to-day operations of the largest pit bull rescue organization in the US.

[hippywife]

24. Well, that's different then.

(Insert Emily Litella impression here: "Never mind.") :rofl:


I had no idea what it was about. Thanks for filling me in. :hi:

[JonLP24]

26. "Parolees" refer to many (but not all) members of the staff

The owner, she understands how difficult it is for recently released prisoners have when it comes to finding employment. Most seem to do well, some fall back into doing whatever is that they were doing that landed them in prison or they get fired. I recall one guy was fired because he kept playing with the dogs rather than cleaning cages and accidental let one get away but they were recovered the dog. I think a major theme of the show is second chances. The dogs are getting second chances and so are the workers is the way I look at it. :)

[BrklynLiberal]

5. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. As a non-cable subscriber who likes neither parades nor football

I'm watching DVDs of Law and Order: UK.

The plots may be recycled from the U.S. version, but the change of setting adds interest, and the cast is terrific.

[MoralSyncretism]

7. Interesting!

Ooh, that sounds interesting! I didn't even know there was a UK version. Since the show draws upon real-life incidents in the news, that would provide an interesting twist for a US viewer. Thanks for that tip! I'll have to look into renting that series.

As Hippywife points out, almost everything in that long list seems junk to me -- NOT appealing.       :puke:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

14. That's why I get almost all my video entertainment from four sources:

1. PBS

2. Netflix

3. iTunes downloads

4. Foreign branches of Amazon for movies and TV shows that have never been released in the U.S. (although Law and Order UK was just released here a couple of weeks ago)

[mwooldri]

25. Law & Order: UK is quite interesting actually.

I've been catching a few episodes on BBC America.

We also got a new channel starting on broadcast digital - Antenna TV - and they started yesterday with a Three Stooges marathon, and today it's a Benny Hill marathon. How the heck they are getting away with Benny Hill (unless they're editing it severely) - sure it was family viewing in the 1980's but today.... ????

[Lydia Leftcoast]

27. Yes, the way they adapted the scripts to the UK

is interesting. The episode about a fatal fire in an illegal Dominican social club (which really was "ripped from the headlines") was transformed into a story about a fatal fire in an illegal Turkish social club.

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Good of you to post the list..I always miss out on something that is on.

Given this is the last month we will have a working tv in the house,maybe a Twilight Zone Marathon would be good to pig out on.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Watching Twilight Zone would be a real good thing...

Anthony wants to watch it, and it sure would be a real good thing if we watched it, too. A real good thing...

(And anyone who DOESN'T think it's a real good thing might easily end up in the cornfield.)



:hi:

[WinkyDink]

9. THANKS! I was watching TZ and football, but now I have the VIP (I love it!)!

[IcyPeas]

10. Mad Men?

I wish they would do a marathon of the last season - I missed it and they usually do a marathon but I haven't seen it yet.

[madinmaryland]

11. ESPN has football on most of the afternoon and evening. That's where

I am parked!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

12. thanks for the heads' up on Mythbusters

:D

they're showing the kitchen disasters one now

[pokerfan]

16. I'm all-in, nyuck nyuck nyuck!

AMC has episodes of The Three Stooges all day and tomorrow.
GSN has 18 episodes of Baggage followed by seven episodes of High Stakes Poker.

[Paladin]

17. I'm Sticking With SyFy's "Twilight Zone" Marathon---Again.

Gotta run---the end of the "To Serve Man" episode is coming up.......

[david13]

18. 200 channels and not one single thing on I want to see all weekend.

Ugh.
Twilight Zone, but even the "To Serve Man" episode I saw about 10 times.

20. CNN did a "black in America" of debt. It was an excellent documentary. I think today is a day of

documentaries on CNN.
