OMG! V! And MI-5!

[Dae Jinn]

>_<

Ok, I had never seen these movies before, but I remember a thread here about them...all I can say is...weird. It's cheesy 1980's-ish effects, but the story is pretty interesting.

I guess we're getting this show on Space here in Canada, so they're showing the movies.

At least A&E is showing an MI-5 Marathon though :crack

[Anbira Hicchoru]

V rocks.

MI-5 does not.

[Ryan Pode]

I thought V rocked... have it on tape somewhere.

[Dae Jinn]

I like MI-5, it's pretty good IMO.

[imported_Marcus]

V rocks?????


EGH! NO! It blew most amount of bumhole!

[Ardath Bey]

MI-5 can have some really great stories though I was not an advid watcher of the series.

V, on the other hand, is everything 80's television melodrama nightmares are made of. OMG, I am feeling nausea thinking about this bunghole trash as Marcus aptly put it. Please leave it dead and buried.

[ReaperFett]

MI-5. or Spooks, is great stuff. Some very clever plots and some enat twists, coupled with some great acting.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hey I love V realize you have to ignore the 80is TV FX I thought it had a great story and was a lot better than ID4 in terms on Alien invasion films.

[Ardath Bey]

Robert Englund was an amusing character but besides that it just carries with it too many dreadful 80's conventions. Stirs bad memories of this decade in television.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hey I loved the 80's TV but hey that was me I grew up with it, the A-Team, Family Ties, Cosby Show, Night Court and Cheers those were some great shows, some of them are better than anything on TV today.

[DarthHERA]

Dae - I was watching some of that MI-5 on tv today. Its pretty good. I saw an episode the other day (or the backend of the episode) where "Toms" family are locked in the house with a bomb - and the end was very worrying :(

I hate coming into a series half way through. But I think Im gonna start watching it. I like what Ive seen so far.


Plus "Giles" is in it :)

[ReaperFett]

Hera, that was the end of season 1 :)

[DarthHERA]

how many seasons have been on so far?

[ReaperFett]

Season 2 ended a month or so ago over here.

[DarthHERA]

k, thanks Fett :)

[Dae Jinn]

yeah, A&E had a marathon today, so I'm all caught up. Tomorrow's episode is going to be so good.

[Master Yoghurt]

V was great, but I dont seem to find it anywhere. Youre lucky they are broadcasting it on TV. In Norway, their just sending crap like Teletubbies and Bold and Beautiful..

[Dae Jinn]

:lol

We're just getting it on our version of the Sci Fi channel this weekend, Yogs.

I beg to differ though Magnum PI, Night Court, Hill Street Blues, Matlock, Moonlighting, and Cheers were very good. But today you have NYPD Blue, CSI, Law & Order, Crossing Jordan, The Practice, etc, etc. Great stuff!

The new Peacemaker program is pretty darn nifty too.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think comedies were better than, a lot of the comedies on today, especially family ones aren't that good.

[Charley]

Cheers alone destroys every "modern sitcom" that comes after Seinfeld.

[Ardath Bey]

I fully 100% agree with both Charley and Carr's last comments. Today's sitcoms are very morass and forgettable. I hate them. But it is the other programming that has grown far more realistic and provocative now, today.

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

I am just

[ReaperFett]

Scrubs is the best comedy around.

[Ardath Bey]

Well, these days I don't watch much primetime television programming like I used to but the one comedy I happen to catch occassionally is Everyone Loves Raymond, and sometimes Simpsons reruns.
