etc...

The quality of television is vastly superior to the movies currently being put out.

When you get a chance, go see the movie "The Departed." It's amazing and should (at least temporarily) renew your faith in movies.

Man that is a lot of TV. Most of those shows follow the same basic formula which I can't stand. TV sucks right now in my opinion.

You forgot


Veroncia Mars
One Tree Hill
Smith (which I actually haven't watched yet but I will tonight)

I didnt think this came out til Oct 6th? I really want to see this one too. Looks like a great storyline with a ridiculously amazing cast and fantastic director.

you must be high. tv right now is the best it has been in years. the only basic formula is that most of them are an hour long.

monkey forgot the office too, which is the best comedy on tv right now.

In the past you would never see movie stars ever do a TV show. Now TV is filled with them. The movie industry has been faltering for years and TV is where it is at. You may not like the TV that is out but even movie execs admit they are losing the battle.

TV rots your brain

DnA already pointed this out, but yeah, I can't wait til Oct. 6th etiher. This movie will restore my faith in hollywood. At least I'm hoping so.

That's because it's a remake of a Hong Kong movie, sure the talent is American but they had to get a story somewhere else.

I know people who know people...

Hollywood is doing everything wrong, Networks are doing everything wrong, Cable is doing everything right.

You forgot about The Shield, Deadwood and The Wire.

is it as good as I hope it is???????????

I think that's why you're seeing so many "movie" actors doing tv now. The major networks realized that cable stations were on to something with shows like the shield and rescue me etc. The networks are trying to capitalize on that same kind of buzz, but, for the most part, they won't allow them to be gritty or "real" enough. They're getting closer to duplicating those kinds of well done and successful shows, but they're not there yet, for all the reasons laid out in the first episode of Studio 60.

And they never will be for a handful of reasons, including the freedom that cable has and they don't. I don't think they even want the freedom, to be honest. They seem to almost fight AGAINST loosening restrictions.

24, Lost, and the Office are better than any movies. Curb Your Enthusiasm is also great (as is seinfeld and family guy)

Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are awesome though.

dutch you really should watch at least the first episode of Studio 60, I think you might really relate to what is said in that show. It's themes deal with what you're saying.
I think you'll get a kick out of Judd Hirsch's rant a la Network.

I'll check it out.

I agree with the OP wholeheartidly. Most movies out right now are garbage, while the new seasons/shows on TV keep getting better.

Comedy is kinda' dead though, with the exception of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

you obviosuly haven't watched an episode of the office lately then

I forgot about the Office, which is awesome, but it's losing steam. UK was better, also.

blasphemy,

I think the premiere was just as good as any other episode from last season,

Those and others are covered under etc...

I made sure to rewatch 'em before seeing departed. I will definitely being seeing this on the friday matinee at least

CSI
Jericho
How I met your mother
Deadwood
Carnivale
Two and a half men

Carnivale is my favorite show of all time.

Jack Bauer. January.

Reruns of CSI and CSI: Miami on pretty much every second keep me glued to the TV forever, and provide for good background for poker playing.
