It's still a Norwegian show...I hear that Springsteen will make an appearance on Series 3, (which I've just started watching) Check out this snippet on YT, so f*cking funny!!Originally Posted by progeezer
Dave - Lilyhammer was conceived in the US by Americans (incl Springsteen's pal) and then pitched to the Norwegians, so I figured what the hell....
Van Zandt didn't even have to learn a new role. Silvio works.

I'm surprised that I see no love for Orphan Black - incredible series and acting!
No cable here, so most of my TV watching is in the form of DVD boxed sets and thus not necessarily "current" (I'm always a year behind on Walking Dead, for example). Hell, right now I'm revisiting my high school years by watching "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" - picked up seasons 1 and 2 for 5 bucks each a couple of weeks ago.
Here are the current shows that I've been watching this season on the whopping three channels I get with my rabbit ears:
Monday: Gotham regularly, Forever occasionally (when I'm too lazy to get up off the couch after Gotham).
Tuesday: Nothing/volleyball night.
Wednesday: Arrow fairly regularly, but only started watching this season.
Thursday: Usually nothing/volleyball night. When I happen to be home I watch Big Bang Theory and the Goldbergs
Friday: Hawaii 5-0 occasionally. Was watching Constantine back in the fall but lost touch with it. Not sure if was cancelled or moved to a different night or time?
Saturday: Movie night or Hockey Night in Canada.
Sunday: Simpsons once in a blue moon.
Moonshiners (Not quite sure how they do it but it is filmed right where my Granfolks used to live)
The Walking Dead
Life Below Zero
Phineas and Ferb
Drugs, Inc.
Tanked (I like aquariums)
Love Kenda! He actually talks like a person-which is a rarity among the ID regulars (Candace DeLong, the creepy Phelps guy, etc)
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
New Walking Dead starts tonight & Better Call Saul on AMC.
Current, on hiatus, recently cancelled or recent mini series:
The Affair
Togetherness
Olive Kitteridge
True Detective
Game Of Thrones
Getting On
The Newsroom
Ok, so I'm a bit of a HBO junkee… sue me.

Anybody watch "Worst Cooks of America" on Food Network? They ran a promo for next week's finale that revealed who the final two were before the show had announced the winners of that episode and thus the final two competitors were.
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
That sucks! Yes, I watch it. I guess that I missed that promo because I always Tivo it and skip the commercials. :-)
Chicago Fire
Perception (unfortunately has been canceled)
been getting into Madam Secretary lately as well.

Better Call Saul isn't quite the home run I was hoping for... yet... it's good but it's taking it's sweet damn time getting going. But it's still one of the better shows I'm watching. I suppose holding it up to Breaking Bad it's going to come up short no matter what...
I love watching cooking shows, but those cooking competition shows are the worst. Why take something relaxing and enjoyable and inject competition and stress into it?
The Walking Dead is really the only show I watch. That and the occasional cooking show, and sometimes Letterman.
Game of Thrones and Vikings
Psyched
White Collar
Old Cake Boss repeats
I am pretty happy with it. I have not seen the most recent episode yet, but it is meeting my expectations.
on the USA Network?
Just bought season 4 of Game Of Thrones on BluRay but decided to go back to season 1 and watch everything before watching it. Not watching anything else at the moment. Most of my TV viewing involves sports or documentaries.

I'm liking it too. I had no expectations of it being another Breaking Bad and it's not, but there are some stylistic similarities, not to mention some of the characters from BB.
My main gripe is with the pacing. Though in retrospect, BB got slow in place as well. I kind of want to get to the key moments a bit quicker. I'm probably just impatient. The characters are all great. There are definite hints as to how it's getting to where it's all going...

Even though it takes place in the Breaking Bad "universe", Better Call Saul so far seems more like the Fargo TV series than another Breaking Bad.
Lost
Whilst not current, it is for me.
Missed the series first time around but am now on a binge currently watching early season 4.
Great show.

That's not a bad comparison.
I tried to watch Vikings, but it was more like watching a bunch of bearded cats sitting around stuffing their faces and talking. If I wanted to see that, I'll watch Andrew Zimmern.

Guilty pleasure:
The Walking Dead
A show I feel I need to champion: Robot Chicken. It's a 15 minute show that's part of Adult Swim on the Cartoon network. It airs at midnight. They usually run two shows back to back. If you like satire, parodies, irreverence, and stop-motion animation, you'll love this show. It's almost always vulgar, occasionally contains toilet humor (which I'm not usually a fan of), is typically politically incorrect, but it also parodies just about anything you can think of, usually pop culture. It's the only show that consistently makes me laugh out loud. They even have a few recurring characters. Humping Robot is my favorite:
What he said.
I agree about the acting. Tatiana Maslany is certainly up to the task... usually. I love her as Allison, the neurotic housewife, and find her believable in all her roles but one: Cosima, the grad student. But I don't watch it anymore. I just had a problem with the way the story arc went and bailed on it. I'd still recommend it, tho. I do think it's a very good show.
