At least the first season that I tried to watch. Worse than Seinfeld even.

Its definitely worse the second time around thus far. I always took it as a very superficial show and cheap entertainment, which it certainly is. Entourage and Weeds were probably the first two shows that I watched regularly from beginning to end, and as Ive watched more good television perhaps my standards have changed. I still like the show, just maybe not as much as I thought?

Sounds like it just doesn't hold up to the test of time, kind of like a Sopranos. Whereas I think a show like Lost could still be watchable 10 years from now.

Cameos, limited depth in writing, so-so acting (aside from Piven) makes it susceptible to be dated quickly. The T&A doesnt get old though

Anyone watch The Wire? Is it worth binge watching?

Season 1 was fantastic, but that's as far as I got.

Not because it wasn't good, just bad timing as I watched it right before we had the twins...then it never popped up on my radar again once things settled down.

Got through 3 Seasons before I was distracted by something shiny

I'm going backwards at my old age. I haven't caught up with so many shows that I started.
Homeland
Walking dead
Better call Saul

Only TV I watch is Got and sporting events.

Sloan. FTW. Every time.

I enjoyed entourage, and will see the movie. The cameos were fun, and the Ari rants were always worth it. If there were 6 seasons (honestly not sure how many), I'd say 2 were real good, 2 were good, and 2 were so-so.

Goin the Weasel route.


Homeland - The latest season made a strong comeback
Walking Dead - It is what it is. Not the best writing or acting, but it keeps you watching
Better Call Saul - It was phenomenal and given the talk, or lack there of I heard, it seems to be very underrated right now, even though the finale was turrible.

I'd argue that The Sopranos holds up really well since those guys, the mobsters, are kind of a subculture from a time gone by anyway. I just watched the entire series last fall and winter and didn't feel like it was dated at all.

I've never seen Entourage. Just no motivation to do so.

If you haven't watched sherlock I would recommend that, only 9 episodes total over 3 seasons but fantastic

I'd rather play video games or read then watch TV anymore. It's very odd.

I don't think there's any way I could bring myself to read nowadays.

Nope... the extent of my "reading" ends with the internet.

When it comes to books... Audible.

I get talked to enough at work all day. I don't need to be read at like a preschool kid.

Think of it as a bed time story for relaxation, after a long day of work.

I've started reading The Tales of Dunk and Egg. It's a prequel trilogy for Game of Thrones. Its set in the time when the Targaryens were in power in Westeros. Egg is the younger brother of Aemon who was the Maester for the Knight's Watch that

Spoiler fail.

Lol, yeah. I was typing without my glasses or contacts and doing the quick reply instead of the full editor. Error upon error on my part.
