The TV show is fine to watch together at night; there's a couple of icky stuff here and there, but no worse than any action movie. The books are more psychological/creepy and even they aren't too bad.Originally Posted by Deli
This from the administrator of a Final Fantasy message board.Star Trek - too dorky
The girlfriend and I watched the first two seasons without any problems. We're waiting to buy the third season and then we'll continue watching it. She's a bit demented though.Dexter - She's seen some of this already but I wasn't sure how much. Don't know if it's a good show for couples to watch before bed.
I think I'm about to cry. Its Wikipedia article would probably do a better job of explaining it than I could. If Star Trek is too dorky for you, then The X-Files probably wouldn't be any different, though this show is far better.
Rye made this!
lol
Buffy/Angel - Seen it. Might force Del Murder to watch them though.
Dexter - Seen the first two seasons, and no it is not what I'd consider good watching material right before bed time. The show is good, but in a sick morbid sort of way. Not something I'd like to have on my mind as I fall asleep.
Supernatural- I would watch it just for the man sexiness. But I'm a total wimp when it comes to scary stuff. :o
United States of Tara - Seen it!
Nip/Tuck - Heeeell no. Every time I even catch a glimpse of that show I want to barf. Rosie O'Donnell sex = scarred for life.
Stargate - Seen every episode like 3 times. I had an entire summer of nothing but Sci-Fi channel.
Mad Men - Seen it! LOVED IT. Can't wait for the premiere.
Six Feet Under - Saw the first episode and also the Series finale. It was ok, but I didn't fell much of an urge to get more invested in the show.
My turn to recommend!
Rome - HBO show, and it's amaaaazing. Particularly the first season (there's only 2 seasons). Full frontal nudity, super crass profanity, war, betrayal, politics, and brilliant acting.
By which she means a lot of penis, boobs and sex. Rome is an awesome show. I need to get the second season.Rome - HBO show, and it's amaaaazing. Particularly the first season (there's only 2 seasons). Full frontal nudity, super crass profanity, war, betrayal, politics, and brilliant acting.
You forgot The Tudors on your list.
I liked the first season of Californiacation. Haven't watched the rest though.
My current shows are True Blood, Weeds, The Secret Life of the American Teenager (which is even more awful than you would assume it is), and Jon & Kate Plus Eight.
I'm mostly just in this thread to mooch ideas from you.*downloads Rome*
I will second X-Files as its just awesome. Gets a little thin about season 5 or 6 but the first couple of seasons were awesome.
My only other show I'll mention is...
Iron Chef Japan - If you get FLN, it plays in the evening and its just superbly funny and entertaining. The American version is way too serious.
Warehouse 13 has also been interesting, it feels like a cross between Eerie Indiana and X-Files. Interesting show and I'm just kinda getting into ti.
Burn Notice is another cool show with the first half of the third season just ending and the second airing in the winter. The first two seasons are just great and its got Bruce Campbell in it.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Hung looks pretty good, but I dunno if it actually is. I'm planning on watching that sometime.
I dunno if Murd would be into it, or if you've seen it or not, but I'm LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Love love love it. Whatever the show lacks in plot is made up for in how goddamn hilarious Billie Piper is when she talks to the camera about her career. xD
Can you tell that I like shows about prostitutes and gigolos?
It is. It really is, sadly.It's totally worth it though because it actually weaves together a plot over five seasons and it's cohesive and *gushes* xD
btw Miriel how did Kings pan out? I've just downloaded the first eps to check them out, will I be disappointed later?
And also yes Rome fgj.
Oh oh, random thought: It's a documentary, so I dunno if you'd be interested, but I absolutely love it and I will never tire. Around the World in 80 Treasures. It is one of the most fascinating and engrossing things I have ever watched in my entire life.
I've heard The Wire is supposedly an awesome show, but I honestly have never seen it.
Oh yeah, Hung and Nurse Jackie are both good new shows coming outta premium cable. I like Nurse Jackie more though.
I've seen Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Kinda feel like that's more of a Sex and the City thing that Tony probably would only enjoy for the boobage.
The only thing that will disappoint you is the fact that there is only one season, since it wasn't picked up for a second. The show actually gets better with each episode. It's like a soap opera but with Shakespearean dialogue. And Ian McShane is absolutely enthralling as King Silas. Rare to see such a commanding performance on network television. The show has a very different tone than almost anything on television. It's sweeping and grand without a hint of apology for its use of soaring music and miraculous events and a God that speaks to his chosen ones through butterflies and thunderstorms. Reverend Samuels played by Eamonn Walker is a pleasure to watch and listen to as well.
This thread makes me feel like I watch waaay too much television. >_>

I'll second Burn Notice, though I've only seen a few episodes.
Omfg, Supernatural is terrifying. Had like 3 heart attacks during the show. ;_;
