Random TV Thoughts: Not really as random as you'd think

[Artimus]

Just watched the Archer season premiere. That might've been the greatest cross-over in any media ever.

Getting ready to watch the first episode of Breaking Bad hoping it won't be addicting as my friend says it is.

The first season and a half are just good, nothing that special.

Agreed. Although the first episode IS really good, especially the opening. But the back half of Season Two is where the show really takes off and does indeed become quite addictive.

The Makeover (Hallmark Hall of Fame TV Movie) starring Julia Stiles just started!

Just a random thing buried in an otherwise totally unimportant fluff piece: South Park is switching from two 7-episode halves airing in March and August to one 10-episode season airing in September this year.

Finished season 1 of Breaking Bad. It was enjoyable but that's pretty much it. The pilot was great though, the finale was just okay. It kind of sucks that the writer's strike affected this. I wonder if the first season was suppose to end on a different note if the writer's strike never occurred. I'll continue watching this.

You won't care that it ended early once you get to the end of season 2.

I got Season 3 of Archer on Blu-Ray this weekend and I forgot how totally awesome this show is.

The episode on the train was probably one of the best ones yet.

Ugh, is there a free, legal way to watch the first six episodes of 30 Rock: Season 7? I just finished burning through Seasons 3-6, just to find out that Hulu and NBC.com only have the last five episodes up.

And I'd rather not have to spend 3 bucks an episode, if I don't have to. lol

Just go to a site like Sidereel. That's what I use a lot of the time.

Bryan had requested a legal source. Sidereel isn't legal, even if they show ads before the stream.

Couldn't you just sign up for Hulu Plus for a month and then cancel after you are through watching 30 Rock?

Or, if you've never signed up before, you might be eligible for a free trial...

[bryan1311]

I have Hulu Plus. It's not available on there.

[siowafc]

Oh, sorry.

I assumed they would just have everything that was available on regular Hulu.

[Blasty]

Hulu plus does NOT have everything, as I've been discovering. Though this isn't usually a fault of their own. Certain networks are just being possessive about their shows (cough, HBO, cough). And then even the networks that do allow their shows often have restrictions or long delays on shows. Downtown Abbey Season 3 is still not available as of last week. (though you can watch on PBS's site of course) But that's annoying for those of us who who have Hulu on our TVs and want to watch it there and not on our computer. And then Hulu plus will have stuff available ONLY for computer watching and not tv ready devices which is ridiculous and annoying too.

Eh, I went ahead and just bought the season pass on iTunes (which at 18 dollars, is a much better deal than 2.99 an episode)...

[jjj]

Pilots that intrigue me:
Shield (ABC) - Joss Whedon, yo
Reign (CW) - Mary Queen of Scots
Sixth Gun (NBC) Based on the Oni Press comic about six pistols of otherworldly power in the Old West, the most dangerous of which falls into the hands of an innocent girl named Becky Montcrief who - alongside shadowy gunfighter Drake Sinclair - must battle vile men thought long dead that have set their sights on retrieving the gun
Delirium (Fox) Based on the dystopian YA series about a society in which love is a disease that the government has found the cure for. The first book was really good, the second really bad.
Bloodlines (NBC) An orphaned young girl, Bird Benson, who, due to an accident of birth, is caught in the epic struggle between two warring families of mercenaries and killers

I like women with power. Who knows if any of these will get picked up though.

Are you all caught up yet?
