The TV thread

In the episode I saw, alleged master thief Ray Liotta designed the most ludicrously complicated art theft imaginable, culminating in a motorboat chase down the Monongahela River towards the Ohio in Pittsburgh. Art theft just isn't a crime associated with gunplay and explosions. If they'd staged a nice quiet and cheap to produce art theft, maybe the show would've lasted.

 

Yeah, it was probably too ambitious and unrealistic.

 

TLC is airing a show called Buying Naked, a House Hunters for nudists. This couple is going to pay $500,000 for a house in a nudist subdivision.

 

Must be Sweeps Month.

 

Let me tell you, after six episodes of "Naked and Afraid," you shall be disappointed.

 

I'm just wondering how many of these shows are left. There's Buying Alaska, Buying the Bayou, shows about various metro real estate markets and now Buying Naked.

 

Don't bother with "Rake." Not very good, ratings are awful. Probably pulled after six episodes or less.

But "Supernatural" is doing its best numbers in quite a few years. Yeah, it's the CW, which means it's not a world beater, but it makes me happy. A spin off is coming, too. Characters to be introduced during an episode later this season.

 

So, "24" fans, do I need to watch the first run of this show, or do you think I can jump into it with the revival?

 

I would recommend skipping the revival and only watching the first three or four seasons of the original.

 

Yeah, I thought Rake was awful and I like Kinnear. I didn't even make it through the first episode.

 

Has anyone here watched Chosen, an original series on Sony-owned Crackle.com?

I just finished the first two seasons (6 episodes each which are 22 minutes long). Damn good action/adventure series starring Milo Ventimiglia (S1 & S2) and Chad Michael Murray (S2). Rose McGowan will be joining the series for season 3. Season three will be released later this year.

No shit. The only show I watch on regular TV.

Of course, some network in need of 12 million regular viewers could pick it up. It's been known to happen.
