Exactly. It's like Mad Men. Let it grow on you, then soon it becomes the new smack.

Yeah, with "Boardwalk" I never had to have it grow on me. I dig the 1920's era gangster stuff, enjoy the jazz music played throughout. Enjoy the whole look of the show. I know that "the look" can be interpreted as "pretty wrapping with nothing inside" sort of criticisms, I just never agreed with those that made criticisms of the show.

I had a bit of trouble getting into the story and have to admit I didn't really like the look of the show, but the main problem for me was Steve Buscemi, who I've always liked but for some reason really irritated me in the first couple of episodes. It's back on my rental list now, though.

I think I may have added also to my list of show topics I never want to watch again (cops, doctors, lawyers) , I added gangsters/mobsters a few years back. Sopranos was allright but not worth the years it took to watch it.

I'm watching Mad Men season 5 thanks to the NY Public Library and a rare useful use of my tax dollars. I'm nt sure if I'm going to finish it - its just a soap opera and the people are really less and less likeable, and its attempt at niche market is annoying.

it is indeed a soap opera. Just like Sopranos was. The 60's were nothing like what mad men portrays, unless you only look at history through the eyes of wealthy, secluded, news-ignorant white people in Manhattan.

have you guys noticed that no one on mad men listens to the great rock and roll brewing in 1966. 1967, 1968, and now 1969? Maybe someone should get Don Draper the first Sabbath album!

i don't know what you're seeing but i'm rerunning season 3 now and i love the anthropology of it all. to see how barbaric it was only a few decades ago: "sally, go watch tv!" and people getting sloshed constantly. and how they treated women.

and then it strikes me that we are all still very much like that and the future is going to look at us like a bunch of neanderthal beasts with little sense.

i enjoy that lots.

I still think that Mad Men serves as nostalgia TV for all the assholes who wish shit was still the same way.

that sounds bizarre but i suppose people like that exist. for me it's like watching the lions and hyenas in the nature channel.

Then you've clearly not seen season 5. Some of the best episodes focus on how Don is unable to adapt to new music. It also has probably the best use of a Beatles song in any tv show or film.

I have seen every episode. The Beatles thing was a toss-off. Don cannot adapt to ANY music. He seems to hate music.

Survivor, the USA one, not the French one where they kill contestants and then have their doctors commit suicide.

Is it just me or have the first two episodes of Game of Thrones been FUCKING HORRIBLY WRITTEN????

What happened? any ideas? The shit was so boring! Wife and I watched episode 2 last night. Jeezy Creezy, that was a whole lot of nothing!!!!!

Did Game of Thrones jump the shark in the offseason?????

For some reason I cannot get enough of Phillip and his Stealth R Us bullshit. the man is DELUDED to a level I have not seen since the days when people thought Smashing Pumpkins was good.

I'm not hating it, but I suspect its about building up, most HBO shows start off slow, and around episode five or six something major happens just before the last three episodes, seems to be the structure of most HBO shows going back since at least "The Sopranos".
