The Shield vs Twin Peaks was pretty much that for me this round. Not going to ever have to think twice on voting for The Sopranos against anything though.

I loved that first season amd a half of Twin Peaks so much. I couldn't even believe how terrible it got to me. I think I still have like 6 episodes left to watch. Maybe someday.

It does drop dramatically i agree but i still like it. Have you seen Fire Walk With Me? That and Inland Empire are the two Lynch films i still have to see.

No, both have been in the que for a while but other stuff gets ahead of them. I am looking forward to Fire Walk With Me. Inland Empire sounds like it will be a chore.

Camo
08-11-16, 08:51 PM
Not sure if it is accurate but i've heard Fire Walk With Me likened to the episodes of Twin Peaks you aren't a fan of so maybe that will be as well. I don't have the slightest clue what Inland Empire is about and it makes me want to see it all the more haha.

Camo
08-12-16, 10:09 AM
With Mistique's vote putting The Sopranos ahead by two i thought we may as well close this an hour early as i don't see two coming in for Parks and Rec. So the Final is open, it will be closed on 19th August so if you want to watch a few episodes of one or both of them before voting go ahead:

So yeah no surprises what i'm voting for. I'm extremely happy with this final The Shield is one of my favourite shows of all time; i had it at #11 on my top tv shows list, and The Sopranos is my favourite show so i'm happy either way.

The Shield vs The Sopranos

Lets tie this thing up. I always call this 1A and 1B for me as far as favorite shows. So obviously seeing them in the finals is awesome. May the best best show win.

The Shield vs The Sopranos
I watched a bit more of both shows last night. I would watch a few more of The Sopranos so that I had seen an even number of each, but I'm just liking The Shield way more. The Sopranos is good too, and I'll continue to watch it, but I don't see me liking it more than The Shield. The guy who created and ran The Shield was also the creator and showrunner for another show I rather liked (The Chicago Code), so there must be something about this style that just really connects with me.

While it was disappointing that The Chicago Code only got one season, I'm more upset that I can't buy it on DVD/BluRay. It wasn't given an official release, and I think Terriers suffered the same fate. They are available on Amazon Digital, but that service is not offered in Canada. :furious:

I hadn't heard about Terriers until last year when I saw Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show and Shawn Ryan mentioned it. I did watch the trailer, but have never actually seen any of the episodes.

Man you're good at digging up stuff. :eek:

In all honesty, I have no idea why I voted for it. My guess would be that it was because of how hard it was for me to compile a list of 25 shows and I had basically every series I had ever seen on there... Doesn't explain why I put it above stuff I definitely like more. Hm, guess I saw slight potential and took a chance. :shrug:

Camo
08-12-16, 06:30 PM
Man you're good at digging up stuff.

I was just pretty sure that i had seen you talk positively about it before. I thought it might of been in that guy with the Frank Booth avatars thread but it wasn't so i tried the TV Countdown thread. You didn't have many posts in that thread so it only took like a minute.

My guess would be that it was because of how hard it was for me to compile a list of 25 shows and I had basically every series I had ever seen on there...

Thought that may have been the case. Fair enough on not enjoying it, but it doesn't suck, you suck for saying it sucks regardless of how half-hearted it was :p

08-13-16, 05:29 PM
Not sure if i'm taking Ned's vote until he confirms he has seen both to be honest. Not to be fascist but i'm not confident that he knows the rules after the Fifties debacle. So it is 5-4 for now.

Keep voting!!

08-14-16, 01:11 AM
Well too be fare the Movie thing is a bit more complicated then a simple answer about too shows. And who doesnt know what Sopranos is. It was HBO biggest show until Thrones. But I didnt like it because its not my area of tv. The Shield I watched because like cop shows. Is that enough of an answer. If I sound cranky its because well I just am.

The movie thing is not complicated in any way, plus it was explained to you like seven times and i'm still not sure if you completely understand it.

Now Could It be since you voted for the other show. Could it be you wanna see if someone else will vote for it. If I had not seen the 2 shows. And I now get the movie rules but i am learning disabled and nothing pisses a person off more then to point out what may or may not be simple. I am trying to do these things best I can. Do I really think you would be biased in a show and be crooked in your tourny no. Im just mad and saying ****.

That was me. It wasn't a show I thought of when I first nominated those other series, but when Camo said we could have a few extra noms, I thought it was a good choice. Though I really only recommended it to see if I could get more people interested in watching it because I think it deserves more attention that what it's gotten.

I knew it wasn't going to last long as soon as it was announced, because it was on Fox, and Fox doesn't have a good history with science fiction series. :mad:

I've been meaning to watch Stranger Things. Maybe I'll start that today so I'm at least making some headway against all the shows I haven't seen yet.

If Topsy did mean Under the Dome, I've only seen 7/18. If she didn't then it's 6/18.

Nice nomination Cosmic. I'll be supporting Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Fargo the most this tournament, I was also a fan of Stranger Things. I might nominate stuff, but I can't think of anything worthy off the top of my head that didn't appear in the first tournament.

Edit:

Actually I'll nominate -

Extras
Derek

Both by Ricky Gervais, love them both :)

Added. I like both of them much more than The Office personally.

If everybody is ok with it i've just decided to nominate myself because i think we might struggle to get the numbers otherwise.

South Park (was surprised this wasn't nominated last time so lets see how it will do)

The Office is probably my favourite show of all time, well, one of them. Just exactly my type of humour. Extras and Derek are both fantastic too though. For Extras, love all the different cameos and how it feels bigger budget, more adventerous, the fake TV show, the Celebrity Big Brother (amazing how Lionel Blair would later appear in the real one). Then with Derek I think its really heart warming and human, first seasons probably more laugh out loud funny, but second season is probably more moving. I know people seem to be divided on Gervais' performance in it, but I think it's great.

I was going to jokingly say no with a mean face, but I was afraid you'd take it seriously.

There were no problems with you nominating last tournament, so I don't see there being any now. If you're anticipating that someone would accuse you of stacking the match-ups in favour of your own nominations, then maybe just take a screenshot of whatever program you use to randomize the sets.

Ripping Yarns
Husky And Starch (aka Starsky And Hutch)

Camo
09-03-16, 01:22 PM
And agreed with everything you said there Daniel. Extras is one of my favourite shows. Derek is brilliant as well and i'm one that thinks Gervais was excellent. I personally liked Derek Season 1 more than 2 mostly because i thought Karl Pilkington was hilarious. I think the most i laughed at the show was when he was talking about his haircut "you know i thought this would've came into style by now" :rotfl:

Yeah, in the last tournament I'd at least heard of most of those shows. I think I've only seen like, 9 out of the current 24 nominations, and that's only if Topsy meant Under the Dome. Right now there are already 7 shows I haven't even heard of. :laugh:

I'm going to give another 24 hours to nominate. There's no point waiting ages if no one else has interest in nominating. If no one else does then we'll just go for a 32 show tournament and i'll allow whoever is interested to nominate an extra show or two.

You were one of those i was talking about haha. But yeah i wouldn't do that. There's no point in forcing 64 if there isn't enough interest for it. Some of us had 6 shows last time and i think that was probably a bit too much.

So yeah tat isn't online and from his comment i don't think he really wanted to join anyway, so i'll post the first set soon. If tat wants to join later i'll just add an extra 3 match show to the second set.

This is the only match I can vote in atm.

Just a reminder to anyone not familiar with Blackadder: The one I've nominated this time is set during World War I. So if what you're watching (or have already seen) is set during Medieval Times, the Renaissance/Elizabethan Era, or during the British Regency, it's the wrong show.

I knew Charlie Hunnam from Green Street first so i was pretty baffled seeing him as an American in Sons of Anarchy at first. Great show though and i think Jax was probably my favourite character, well i maybe liked Tig better at times but that was mostly because he was the funniest.

Also Happy not even sure what Happy did to be so awesome but he just was.

I actually hated all the characters on that show :lol: despicable the lot of them :lol: But the show itself was great!

oh forgot there were two shows! why do americans always remake english shows ? :shrug:
anyways,then i have to watch all the episodes cos i dont remember watching the US version

Hey, the English do the same thing with some American shows.

In any case, the UK version lasted only two seasons while the American version lasted five. The first few episodes of the American version borrow pretty heavily from the UK one, but it becomes very much its own show pretty quickly.

Cool. I'm taking your vote off until you do then, ok?

If you need any extra time to watch it just tell me Topsy, don't want to keep repeating this but just so everyone is aware.


thanks,but i just watched the trailer and turns ive seen that one aswell!
I didnt know it was as old as it is though,2000???

ah,thats probably why i didnt remember there being 2 different shows at first,ive prob seen reruns with them back to back and its all mashed into one show in my head.

They were all despicable certainly but i personally need to get on at least a few characters sides to enjoy the show. The Sopranos and Sons of Anarchy are good examples of show that i despise the characters actions but i can like them themselves.

Think that is a lot more important to me in TV Shows than movies since you are most likely spending a lot more time with the characters. I get what you are saying though and it's understandable.

Not really to the same extent though. I don't think it is a bad thing personally. I probably won't watch it if i already liked the UK one but i think it is fine to recreate a show for audiences that may not be able to get into the accents or whatever. Also there has been a few successes like the US Shameless.

I know it's not the same extent, that's why I said "some." ;)

I first started watching Queer As Folk back in 2002, after seeing and loving Hal Sparks on VH1's I Love the 80's. I didn't have Showtime so I went to Blockbuster video and rented the first two seasons. I was immediately hooked but, again, didn't have Showtime so I kept waiting for each new season to come out on DVD and then bought it and binge watched it. I had no idea there was UK version until I'd seen like the first three seasons of the US one.

Not only did I love the show (the Amercian version, anyway), but it turned out to be good resource material for that thing you're supposed to be reading. :D

Yeah i understand that,and agree actually- but i guess they were all likable and unlikable in turns :lol:
Gemma you had times were you were rooting for her and times where she was just a mental b!tch
Jax was obviously made to be a bit more likable since the show is about him but he was mummys boy and terrible husband/father same with opie-apart from the mummys boy,but he didnt seem to have mind of his own outside the club
Tig was funny but still not a good person and the same kind of goes for the rest of them aswell.
I really liked Juice for awhile but he just cried way too much the last seasons :lol:

Also I had some trouble with some of the storylines that didnt make sense characterwise but happened just to get the story going
Like Tara telling Unser about her plans

Camo
09-04-16, 09:24 PM
Yah, i agree with most of that Topsy. Think Tara was the closest to an actual likeable character on the show but she had her problems as well obviously.

Camo
09-04-16, 09:26 PM
Halfsack was probably the samcro member who was the most likeable actually and he turned out to be an awful human being irl.

Surprised you didn't know that. That's the main reason i said it because i thought you'd already knew. Yeah messed up.

I also used to watch The OC with my sister when i was younger so i remember him in that as well.

Anyway, Christmas is in 3 months guys how bout that?

yeah im surprised i didnt know too :lol: but i see it happened around when i was moving-i remember i didnt have internett for a few weeks cos i had to wait for the people who set it up-so they were prob on to other news when i got online again.

I like how you remember that one time when you didn't have the internet in 2012 :laugh:

Anyway Christmas, heard that's happening this year guys right?

Yeah, i'd like to know that as well. No offence Ned mate but you haven't got the rules of these things right away before.
Dont ask people too come and vote if your basicly calling them liars when they are nice enough too come and vote. I will say this one more time would not voted in had no seen the show. So dont ask me again when I vote.

haha. Mate, you don't get stuff sometimes. That's cool but please expect questions every single time you join anything because your baffling responses make it difficult to get if you get the rules. Sorry man but you being outraged is just so hilarious when it took you like 20 pages to understand the rules of the 50s Countdown.

Really not trying to be harsh but this sort of response is reserved for someone with a better track record in these sorts of things.

I'm not mad, I simply don't believe you.

I don't believe that someone who "doesn't understand" gays would voluntarily sit through at least three hours worth of a show that features some pretty graphic gay sex scenes.
