TV

[Matt]

With all the new tv shows returning last week and this week, which ones are you most looking forward to?

Do you watch on tv or do you download from the web?

[Yoda]

Download from the web mostly these days, except for sport of course which I prefer to watch on TV whenever possible.

[Matt]

I downloaded the season premiere of Lost to avoid spoilers but I'll watch it on tv also.

Yay that must mean rating time is back and we start getting watchable stuff again.

The last downloaded episodes of fringe and dexter have been brilliant. really worth looking forward to if you plan to watch on Fta

[DVST8R]

We usually download everything, unless its on Foxtel. FTA sucks, first the show always starts 10 minutes late, then one week it will just disappear for no reason. I think the only thing I will watch on FTA is the new Underbelly.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Other than some of the Rolex 24hour at Daytona on ONE last week I cant remember the last time I watched anything on FTA. It just doesnt even enter my head to look at anything they have on anymore. Very rarely I might watch the news.

[kindo]

I download most of what I watch, purely because they're shows that aren't shown on FTA in any sort of respectable schedule, if at all - i.e. Supernatural, Friday Night Lights, True Blood, HIMYM and The Office. It stretches my download usage at times, but I'm kinda left with no alternative...

[Matt]

HIMYM is on prime time...

I'm annoyed that Ten has dropped the Office into oblivion again.

[Cammos]

Can't get enough Neighbours!

Have to love terrible Tv!

[kindo]

HIMYM is on prime time...

I'm annoyed that Ten has dropped the Office into oblivion again.

They're old though - Ch7 is only just starting Season 5, whereas I just downloaded 5x15 last night...

The Office is brilliant, so well written. Ch10 shafted it from the start though, so I don't know how they hoped to get ratings by putting it on at 11.30pm on a Sunday night.

I quite enjoyed the Office double during weeks between Grand Prixs. Gave me something to look forward to on a Sunday evening. Also season 2 was sooo good with the relationship between Jim and Pam, the whole audience had to be cheering for Jim to make a move and then he finally does on the finale and bam, that was the end of the season, aahhh!!!

It's also why I can't stand the UK version of the office. The Jim/Pam characters don't have anywhere near the chemistry or believability that Jim and Pam do.

[kindo]

OMG thank you so much for saying that you prefer it to the UK version - I get mocked mercisly everytime I say that!

I love Jim and Pam, I think they're both absolutely adorable. Plus I think their relationship has been written so well, I don't know what season you're up to so I'll not say too much, but they grow more and more each ep.

Not meaning to get too mushy on you either but that cliffhanger at the end of S2 made my heart swoon I was always Team Jim over Team Roy.

[DVST8R]

The Office has been on FTA? I never even noticed. I've had to download them all. Though I watched S1 & 2 on TV1 on Foxtel.

[Goatlemon]

Pay TV sucks. I spent a week at my sister's house and I just watched the same episodes of the same shows over and over. That said I don't watch much TV these days anyway.

The only shows I watch these days are Top Gear, and I'm pissed off that Nine bought the rights to it; I noticed various parts edited out of their broadcast, UFC Wired on One HD, and Talkin' 'bout Your Generation.

Shaun Micallef FTW.
