A very special episode of CHiPS is on TV right now, where Ponch helps a boy compete in the Special Olympics.

Watched the first episode of S2 of Fargo and the first episode of S2 of The Fall last night. Both excellent.

Honestly, LOST would probably win. I didn't even need to look anything up to know that.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Breaking Bad, easy. Walt and Jesse are trapped with Tuco and his grandfather (uncle?), who keeps ringing his bell while Tuco's about to eat the poisoned food.
I really don't like any of the Tuco story line, especially the first couple episodes of S2.

Crazy talk! It's my favorite story line, after any given scene with Sual. I liked the earlier part of the series much more, when they were just figuring things out and were quickly in over their heads. The old man ringing that bell, and Walt and Jesse flinching every single time...It tickled me in the same spot as did that scene in Boogie Nights where that Chinese kid is throwing firecrackers at the drug dealer's house.
That's funny, I really don't care for Boogie Nights either. :lol:

wow I wouldn't even consider Breaking Bad Season 2 any good. THe rest of the show makes up for it, but season 2 is a drag.

The end of Season 2 is outstanding, I think. All the stuff with Jane is heartbreaking and tense.

The whole plane crash thing spoils season two in my mind. It didn't need to be such a huge consequence. Walt's decision to let Jane die was bad enough. And I found the season-long tease to the airplane thing to be nothing more than a gimmick. It's stuff like this and a lot of what they do with Skylar in the later seasons that kept BB from being counted among the best shows. Too many major missteps to reach that highest level.

the season 3 stuff with the assassins is probably the lowest point in the show, but from the season 3 ending on, its amazing.
