Mmm, so a lot of the popularity of the show (24) has to do with the cheap trick of the cliffhanger. Much like a soap-opera uses. Interesting.

I guess Lost uses a variation of this with its "onion layer mystery" thing it has going on. "Tune in next week when we reveal the answer to your questions with more questions".

The more I think about it the more I realise television sucks.

Your entire post just illustrated how geekyoveranalyzation = nonenjoyment.:mellow:

Everyone else will keep though.:happy:

never took to Prison Break :ermm:

24 -> Prison Break


Sleeper Cell's going brilliantly imo, lots of religious babble and stories of how Americans have treated them unfairly, and occasionally vice versa. There’s not been any cliff-hangers either. The only thing that could spoil it would be a big heroic ending, 24 style :snooty:

still like 24 though :snooty:

That last bit doesn't make sense. Work on that please, I'm far too busy to be deciphering bad sentence structure.

It is hardly "geekyoveranalyzation", it is not even over-analysis just a refusal to accept that these shows are anything other than average despite what the fan-boys insist. I didn't say I don't enjoy television, I said it sucks.

KFC sucks but I'll buy one of a weekend. Smoking sucks as well, in fact that might be the better analogy. Smoking is addictive and so is this style of average television, got to have that Nicotine-fix/Lost-fix. People just seem to fall into these routines.

Fortunately watching banal television won't reduce your life expectancy, it will just make it duller. And like cigarette smoke in your clothes/hair you won't even realise it.

how many seasons r there? im on season 3 episode 15 right now :unsure:

You are buying a KFC? I thought you to be the poor college student. You need a period after 'well' and a capital i for 'in'. You need a period after television.......

Fortunately watching banal television won't reduce your life expectancy, it will just make it duller. And like cigarette smoke in your clothes/hair you won't even realise it.

How does watching television make my life expectancy duller? Starting sentences with 'And'?

Of course it's "geekyoveranalyzation"......

Most folk don't have to realize a show sucks like it's a revelation. People watch 24 and like it. I've read critics reviews of movies and those critics have to break the movie down. However, I've many times where there could be numerous flaws and they still liked the movie.
I remember you saying the same about BSG...yet the masses love it.

I actually am a more discerning viewer 'cause the only way I can watch a show is within the limits of TIVO space. If I don't like a show it gets the axe. I don't have time to watch out of habit. I haven't watched one episode of Nip/Tuck and am just halfway through the 1st episode of Sleeper Cell....so far it's not that good...but I'm only up to where he's following the woman.

24 grabs you from the get go. It is supposed to be a thrill ride and a nailbiter.

American TV, as many say, rawks!!! :happy:

Last couple times I saw it he helped save America, not the world.:pinch:

He saves the world in season 4, silly.:ermm:

Yup that's what I meant to type but i was tired:ermm:

He doesn't save the world in season 4 tho, unless something happens after the 12th episode that invovlves the whole world :unsure: (dont tell me).

Sorry meant season 5.:(

Naw, it rawks like a Zinger Burger does but I wouldn't serve it up for a dinner party.

Don't worry I'll be here when 24 repeats itself for the fifth time and we all suffer from deja-vu-boredom, when Lost becomes so absurd because the writers don't have a clue what's going on either and when Prison Break implodes under the weight of all those cliff-hangers. And I'll laugh, probably watch it all mind which is the sad thing.

I'm taking "busy" jokes from someone called "Busyman" who seems to be on this forum more often than Jack Bauer says "you're going to have to trust me" in the average episode of 24.:O

I didn't even notice he'd tried to correct my grammar. Most of it is wrong though. For instance, "its" does not have a possesive apostrophe when denoting ownership. The hatred of comma use is also quite bizarre as I would get shot down in my essays for such short sentences that Busyman suggests. It is probably best not to correct an English student on his grammar when you do not have a clue yourself.

I did spell "examining" wrong though, I often do.

Anyhow I'm a fucking poet in'it so you can consider all my posts to be a form of free-verse and thus not bound by any rules of grammar/punctuation/speeling.

i haven't read this thread, but i kinda take sniping about grammar to be the tactics of whoever is losing :dabs:

Well I tried. :happy: Yeah I know it's is only in contractions but I tried a double whammy.

Still though you shouldn't always throw stones at targets...especially when they're laid out for you.

It's not cool. I do like the "my proffesssor didn't corrrect me so it must be right" stuff though.

Quality.

Gawd no.

Btw, he said that he multi-tasks again - plus there was a TIVO reference in another thread.

Busyman FST Drinking game:

One shot of vodka each if he says I multi-task.
Girls drink if he tries to defend his haircut.
Toke of the bong if he mentions his fucking tivo or 96" telly.
Shotgun a can of Special Brew if he pretends he hasn't got bitch titties after being rodded about them.
A pinch of salt all round if busy makes out that teh lay-deez love him.
Treble brandy if he displays humility (unlikely, so don't worry about getting the VSOP in).
Finish your drink when he attempts to normalcise owning six guns, a pile of shuriken and having a seventeen foot fence around the garden.
Sip of Carling when JP pwns him (thought the forfeit better didn't ought to be harsh for that one).


Guarenteed to get even the sturdiest northerner pished within one hour of FST browsing.

i'd be gone in a post. no shame in it. cheap night IMO :snooty:

You don't spell "professor" or "correct" like that. This might help for future reference:

Make sure you get the American English dictionary, I know how you Americans are with your crazy spelling and bad TV shows.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Cool.

Busyman FST Drinking game:

I multitask...I mean I multi-task.
Girls drink if he tries to defend his haircut.
I thought it was the naming of the cut.
Toke of the bong if he mentions his fucking tivo or 96" telly.
...I have no fucking time I must TIVO it so I can watch it on my 96" telly. (that's weird...I have rarely mentioned the size of my "telly"..oh well.:huh: )
Shotgun a can of Special Brew if he pretends he hasn't got bitch titties after being rodded about them.
They're pecs, you jealous bitches. :snooty:
A pinch of salt all round if busy makes out that teh lay-deez love him.
Got me on that one. I'm with one woman.:huh:
Treble brandy if he displays humility (unlikely, so don't worry about getting the VSOP in).
Oh yes that haircut is gheyer than mank's assthumbery. I really should stop mentioning TIVO and use VCR like everyone else. My titties hang lower than my balls.
Finish your drink when he attempts to normalcise owning six guns, a pile of shuriken and having a seventeen foot fence around the garden.
I bought the house with the fence. I'm not going to tear it down. I've had those shuriken since childhood. They're in a display case. Some shit jumps off I can protect my family better than if I didn't have a weapon.
Sip of Carling when JP pwns him (thought the forfeit better didn't ought to be harsh for that one).
Awaits JP.......

Drink up motherfuckers!!!:angry:
