anyone else watching 'Lil' George" on Comedy Central?

by **BigEd76** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:39:33

WTBS (Atlanta's local version of TBS) is changing to Peachtree TV and will get the Braves broadcasts. They will also get the national TBS on a separate station, which will basically be the same as TNT (movies, sitcoms and divisional round and NLCS baseball)

Two more TBS notes:

1) TBS HD coming in September

2) Office (2007 limited, 2009 full) and My Name is Earl (2009) coming to TBS in syndication

According to Jim is immortal.

So TBS and TNT are completely the same now...why do they have two stations? Why nto combine it into one and get rid of all those reruns?

Have to say it's pretty bad. A few laughs here and there but not getting into it. Not as bad as That's My Bush that was on a few years ago.

Bodyshop looks like it will be very bad also from the commercials.

I thought That's my bush was great, high concept :D

by **pacino** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 14:16:52

that's my bush was making fun of sitcoms,it was supposed to be bad

by **R.J. MacReady** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 15:00:14

That's My Bush seemed like a great idea but poor execution. Just couldn't get into the show.

thought John from Cincinnati and Entourage were solid last night - wasn't as impressed with Flight of the Conchords - thought the episode from last week was better - I'll keep watching though

by **jemagee** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 10:21:16

Entourage was alright, but trying to be dramatic and all they need to stop that.

Marc Cuban playing Marc Cuban on the loop last night...that was interesting.

I thought "John" was meh again. I couldn't believe it was over -- seemed like nothing really happened.

"Entourage" is slipping, IMHO, but I still enjoy it.

Thought "Flight" was hilarious, especially this lyric:

"They’re turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers. But what’s the real cost, ‘cause the sneakers don’t seem that much cheaper. Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got little kid slaves making them? What are your overheads?"

I thought Flight of the Conchords was again pretty good, with some dead spots but enough highs to make it worth it. I was surprised by the poor version of 'Think About It' that they put in there though. They didn't nail most of the best lines the way they did in the live version from the HBO special.

Agreed -- I barely heard the quote I cited above and had to rewind. I think this is a show I'm gonna like more and more on repeat viewings, like "Extras."

My roommate and I have rewatched the Inner City Pressure song about a dozen times this past week. The moment when Jemaine wails out 'Just stand there!!!' in the background is timed just perfectly. I think it's a great homage to Pet Shop Boys, Kraftwerk, and the like.

Yeah he seems like a student of pop culture -- the Bowie song is a cool homage too

Grey's Anatonmy Spin Off replaces Merrin Dungee - boo

by **ReadingPhilly** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 16:15:15

i'm going to keep giving credit to traveler, i've been on the edge of my seat for the entire show.

rescue me has also been pretty solid to start the season. big shock at the end of the last episode.

those are really the only two shows i'm watching this summer.

I thought last night's Entourage was one of the best episodes this year. However, I may be letting the pure classic-ness of Drama's lady's Turtle swerve (and impending bootylicious tub encounter) sway my opinion.
