The Random TV Shows Thread

[RatBastich]

When the series American Chopper ended, figured that was it, there won't be anymore.
Lo and behold, TLC has revived the series as "American Chopper: Senior vs Junior".
In the "final season", Paulie left OCC to start up his own business.
In this new series, Paulie has started his own motorcycle shop across from OCC's original location.
And, he's also hired some former OCC employee's: Mikey, Vinnie, Nub, and Joe Puliafico.
I find that that weird, hiring Vinnie, since last I knew he had started his own motorcycle shop with Cody.

Anyway, the series is set to premiere August 12th, on Thursday at 9pm EST.
It'll be 13 episodes.

My guess is that the "hiring" of Vinnie and Nub is most likely just for show since, as you said, they both have their own respective businesses going. The network execs (and Junior especially) just needed an actual crew to go up against Senior (and to be honest, something tells me the fans would have had a major hissy fit if Mikey hadn't been brought back). It'll be interesting to see if this works out. It was pretty obvious in American Chopper's last season that the main problem wasn't that the work was too hard or that it wasn't getting done, it was that Junior and Senior just couldn't work together anymore. With this new version of the show, they can still do the show (and give themselves and their companies some wicked publicity/promo time) without the risk of getting on each other's nerve's for three-quarters of the show.

If this gets green lit I'll be super excited!
I'm a big Raimi/Tapert fan, in my eyes they can do no wrong
I know there's probably be a lot of changes, but I'm ok with that, I'm really curious how they interpret and handle the material.

Checked out around 10 episodes of Firefly yesterday. I did watch Serenity a few years ago.
Maybe because it didn't really use a lot of CG effects, the show doesn't look old at all.
And the characters were pretty interesting too, all having their own motives. Too bad it was cancelled so soon.

Hmmm maybe, Bewitched? The oldies classic, i forgot when , but i used to watch that in black and white

Saw the first episode of Torchwood Miracle Day.
Just like Children of Earth, the story's theme is fantastic. Watch it.

Last night's Alphas episode guested Summer Glau (Serenity/Firefly, Sarah Conner, etc...).

Skylar was so cool with the punk look and the awesome handyman/inventor tech skill.
Wish she was is the main cast. Her character is just so much more interesting than all the other main characters who're all so... gritty.
Producers probably fearing it getting cancelled if she joined.

Alphas is next on my list of shows I have to watch, I'll start as soon as I've finished L-Word.
And good to know that Summer Glau is in it, even if it's just a guest part.

What new shows have people caught on to this autumn?

My personal favourites so far are 2 Broke Girls, New Girl, and Suburgatory ... all comedies for some reason, I seem to be stuck in sitcom-hell, but these are all good shows so I'm glad to add them to my watch list.

[twissie]

I take back everything I said in the above post...

anyone checked out American Horror Story?

... because you really should.


(when you see it, you'll shit bricks).

I feel it's one of the more interesting shows this autumn, and it sure is freaky and disturbing as hell. I'm wondering just how many murders this house has seen :%.

Anyone wanting to see Smash? Another musical series...
