Fuck, been watching a lot of Party Down gettin' all excited 'n shit just to realize it got cancelled after 20 episodes. Apparently, they might be making a movie.

Any Luther fans in here? I just watched the 3 episodes of season 2 they've aired so far and it's absolutely ridiculous. In no way is this a great show but I'd watch Idris Elba in just about anything. It's too bad the BBC is only producing 4 episodes this season, I really don't understand how their TV works over there.

Started watching Party Down thanks to this thread and I'm loving it. Why the fuck did they cancel it? Does Starz have some sort of other amazing show lineup that took precedence over this show?
Best part is the random cameos each episode. Not a single one goes by where I don't recognize at least ONE person who isn't on the main cast.

I love the cameo-ness too.
What I've read, and what I agree with, is most likely because I think Adam Scott couldn't do it anymore due to his obligations on Parks and Rec. Also, the ratings dropped when Jane Lynch left too (though, who couldn't love Megan Mullally).
So, though the critics love the shit out of it, the ratings just weren't good enough.

This isn't quite what happened. Here is a very long article which is about as comprehensive of a party down history as you could ever need. www.details.com/celebrities-entertainment/movies-and-tv/201102/complete-oral-history-starz-comedy-party-downA couple quotes worth highlighting: On parks and rec: On ratings: summary: Adam left for parks and rec because the show wasn't getting renewed not the other way around and the rating weren't there either season so it wasn't a drop off because of jane lynch's exit(season 1 aired before she got famous with Glee) The whole article is great though, I can't recommend it enough

Anyone else watch Big Brother at all? Believe it or not I'm a huge nut for this show and can't wait for it to start. Long ago we were asked about "Guilty Pleasures", this would have to be my answer.

I've never watched it, but I'm surprised both of you like it. I wouldn't have pegged you as the two closet big brother fans.

It depends. There have been seasons I hated, but as long as there is one intelligent human being in that house (which seems to be a common ratio) then I can get by watching that person toy with the others and make it look easy. The same could be said for survivor.

I got hooked last year when I still lived in Edson and there was no Internet. Having a show to watch 3 days a week was awesome. I can't wait for this year.

I've been seriously binging on Breaking Bad. To the point where I have reoccurring dreams of being a meth dealer.

When we were watching Dexter a lot before bed I started having serial killer dreams. The brain is a funny thing.

Just getting caught up on Game of Thrones. Really liking it so far. Kind of like Spartacus but with the nice touch of less male frontal nudity.
