What TV series are you watching at moment?

BBC United States of Television America in Primetime .. four parter yentob thingoe. It's got lynch in it, for people that idolise him.

Game of Thrones! Wow!

About 5 episodes into Homeland. Claire Danes was fucking annoying right up until her first mental breakdown, which was pretty unexpected and brilliantly acted. At the same time, I can't help but be disturbed by the premise of a man illegally monitored at his house because of a bipolar womans "suspicion". Regardless of whether she turns out right or not (im not far in enough), it is a deeply unnerving concept to know that this could certainly be possible given our current situation.

No idea why I never watched Twin Peaks, it´s so perfect... like Lynch made his own version of X-Files.

it's like x-files borrowed a lot from twin peaks actually

yeah. i was a latecomer to Twin Peaks and it still blows my mind how much that series' aesthetic rubbed off on the X-Files (and I might even daresay improved upon it)

I'm watching defiance because there's fuckall available for SF shows now and my gf has a girl crush on Jaime Murray and who can blame her really

Kenny vs. Spenny

All episodes found here on Kenny Hotz' YouTube channel. Well, most episodes. Some episodes had to be taken off probably because of YouTube's policies, such as "Who Can Keep a Dump in Their Pants the Longest?" and "Who Can Have Sex with More Women?"

Didn't the guy who always lost pretty much quit the show because he was psychologically damaged from all that abuse. Or was that all made up?

I think that's made up. He's still writing, and doing shit.

Just started House of Cards last night. Although I generally avoid shows with rich people and rich people problems, it's still pretty good.

I quite enjoyed the American one. Not sure whether to watch the British one, feel it may annoy me.

Rewatching Arrested Development.

The replay value of this show is unlimited.

30 rock finally. just a little behind the times lol. enjoying it though... I'm on season 5 now.

Dudes, Kenny vs. Spenny was the most obviously scripted show ever, I couldn't watch it, it was so embarrassing, Americans (or Canadians) must have a strange concept/perception of reality!

The fat "Jack Black"-type sympathetic character almost always won against the stereotype introvert-character so there wouldn't be riots in the streets and to prevent you guys from going on yet another shooting spree!

...yeah, I thought that was understood.

I've watched some episodes on youtube a while back, the comments suggested otherwise.

Somebody had even written:

who cares if it's real or not, it's ENTERTAINING!

Maybe the fact that it's staged annoys me so much because it's such a fun and simple concept, it would be logical for it NOT to be fake. Most friends would do these competitions for the sake of doing the competitions, but as soon as TV comes into play, it's back to staging and scripting etc ... a million YouTubers would do this genuinely.

In fact, there was a German Rip-Off of the franchise some years back ("Elton vs. Simon"), in which they actually did the competitions (at least in some of the episodes). It even had the same opening credits and music. It was later adapted into a live show with several mini-competitions. Very low-brow but at least it was some honest bullshit.

unsolved mysteries is like the real-life twin peaks- but multiple stories that all take place in the midwest. this was today's "highlight" episode

i hate to break it to anybody out there who believes reality shows are anything remotely 'real' but they are all staged in one way or another. Even the ones that aren't staged or predetermined are still staged in the sense that they do re-takes of 'emotional events'.

House of Cards is pretty decent, way better than any other american show about politics. It runs circles around that shitty show Newsroom

Started to watch House of Cards, have seen five episodes and I really like it so far. Before that tried to watch Da Vinci`s Demons, meh.

"Yeah, we're just playing ourselves and I hate it when people say it's fake. We shoot 30 hours, cut for twenty minutes, throw some cool music in there, like Bach or Mozart, put it together and find it extremely simple to do what we do. It sucks. The show is torture because every week we have to stay awake for a week, or find out how much weight we can gain in a week, or not use our arms. It sucks. We've written a show where we torture ourselves. I think the reason we do it is because at the end of the day, after all the shit we go through, we see the inherent value of the show, the piece of art, dare I say. It's something we're both very proud of. We've never seen something like this on television, and we're hoping that the US can promote it properly. We're certainly on the right broadcaster, and have behind us, so either this thing is going to take off or it's going to crash and burn, but we believe in the show." -- Kenny Hotz

I can see how certain things can be sorta scripted, like the "Who Can Sell More Bibles?" episode. But I honestly don't think it's 100% scripted.
