Dean- I love The Soup-very funny. The original was Talk Soup, remember that? We are not in love with anything on TV right now, except maybe New Christine, which is very funny. I do watch Lost, but am totally confused (Lost?) We tape Friday Night Lights but once again it's hard to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. Every time we subscribe to HBO, we end up canceling it 'cuz we never find the time to watch! Sounds like we need to try it again.
We love ROME! We have 2 episodes left on the Tivo, and we're sad to see it go!

He is a stud. Our favorite character. I read somewhere that he'll be in a feature film soon. Have you heard that? He's a STAR.
Now I'm waiting for "Athens"

OK Dean- I know you said you watch Dirt with Courtney Cox, So... Are you gonna watch tonight for the Courtney/Jennifer kiss? I don't see how they could keep from laughing! The whole thing is so cliche'!
I forgot (what does that say about me?) That I also watch Grey's Anatomy. My husband and I laugh at the medical stuff, (trust me, you would not be very articulate after 1 1/2 hrs of CPR ) But the sex stuff is all true! People do have sex in the on call room, they just don't all look like McDreamy or McSteamy!
We've got Dirt Tivoed, but the first few episodes were... odd. Haven't caught up in weeks. "The kiss?" hadn't heard.

Saw "Live of Others"
Wow! what a powerful film.
Ridley
We saw "Lives of Others" several weeks ago and thought it was wonderful. Really great on so many levels.The Stasi guy's tranformation was so moving to watch, even though he had so little dialogue. Great acting. Also loved "Pans Labyrinth", that one made me cry.
Did you ever see Kieslowki's "Three Colors"? Three different films, Red, White and Blue, with overlapping stories. I think my favorite was "Red". Worth renting if you ever had the time.
Extras is amazing. Are you sure it "ended?" As in: no more seasons. That would be a shame. Ricky G. is one great actor.
I, too, think Don in Dirt is terrific. Those scenes make you feel like YOU are coming apart.
Has anyone tried Friday Nigh Lights? One of my favorite shows this year. That and Studio 60 (and Rome) are about the only shows I watch regularly.

I don't follow the Sopranos, but I would love to hear that Rome will enter another season. The storyline didn't feel that way, but you never know!
Ridley
Is anyone tuning in to Planet Earth, Sunday nights, on Discovery Channel? Extraordinary series!
Hope:I Tivoed it. Haven't gotten to it yet. I saw a few minutes (HD) and WOW, is it gorgeous!
Ridley
No more Extras series I am afraid. Theres going to be a one off hour long special to tie it up.
Hey guys. Just got this topic. Dean, if you want a good show to replace Rome watch The Tudors on HBO. I think it is only 6 episodes long, but really good.
Loved the Extras, sorry it is gone. It was fun seeing famous actors make fun of themselves. Ever watched 'Black Adder' on BBC? It stars Hugh Laurie from 'House' (a personal fave of mine). Black Adder has two seasons that I know of. We kind of get it hit and miss. One season takes place during WWI and the other in the 18th century.
Hope, I have all of Planet Earth TiVoed, hope to get to it soon. Was really blown away by the photography in the trailer I saw at the theater before it started.
Any of you guys watch Dexter on HBO? They did a great job translating book to movie and I'm looking forward to next season.
The Kiss on Dirt? Got it Tivoed to watch. I agree with you Ridley, the show is a bit odd, I keep trying to figure out if it is the show itself or if I keep expecting Courtney to turn into Monique (?) from Friends.
Dean, if you like the story of Rome, try renting 'I,Claudius'. Was a PBS series in the 80's. Terrific, I was glued to the TV for every episode. Got some great actors, like John Hurd, in it.
I don't watch much TV, but my favorites are House, 24, Boston Legal (Shatner and Spader are a riot), Bones. Never watch reality TV, so that cuts down available shows to almost nothing.

Tudors is stunning. Well acted, well-written, and good and sexy.
Ridley
Dear Ridley,
When are you going to do something in television with that visionary Paul Guyot?
