I've been watching Robin Hood. I know that it's increadibly cheesy, but I can't help myself, I love it. Must have something to do with all of the scruffy beards I've seen the commercials for this on BBC America, looked like it could be good but the guy who plays Robin Hood seemed so short reminded me of a Hobbit .

Several of my friends are watching the BBC's Robin Hood and like it a lot. I asked if they thought it was cheesy and they said, "Wash your mouth with soap." I guess that meant NO CHEESE. dzerodzero - open your mouth. I watched the first three eps of Heroes and it was tough to pick my favorite Hero. or Mohinder Suresh Hiro Nakamura I chose Hiro ;D . . . . . . . . I liked Jericho a lot. I'll buy the DVDs for both when they're issued. They both have of a cast of thousands (sarcasm) which seems to be an advantage for publicity purposes. I have the first 2 seasons of Lost but still haven't opened the packages. Jeepers, I'm behind on watching NICS eps so it would be stupid to take on a new series.

dzerodzero - open your mouth. Alright I looked this up on IMDB and according to them the guy who plays Robin Hood is 6 feet tall . So I don't know what the hell they are doing when they shoot the show but I swear they are going out of their way to make him look shorter and when he is dressed in the medieval garb and carrying a bow I defy* you to not think he looks like one of the Lord of the Rings guys . * second use of "defy" today, I'm very proud .

Several of my friends are watching the BBC's Robin Hood and like it a lot. It's very tongue in cheek which is why I say ;D cheesy. Don't watch if if you're looking for a historical drama or high production values. As long as you don't take it too seriously it's a lot of good fun. While I don't think the Robin character looks like the Hobbit, it would have been nice if put on a bit of weight. He doesn't really look as if he could beat anyone in a fight. Hopefully they sent him home to have a few hot roast dinners in between filming S1 and S2. Dzero maybe this is the reason he looks smaller than everyone else?He does look smaller than everyone else in this pic!

Just finished watching a Kyle XY marathon today. Thats a pretty good show. I saw lots of DA actors, i.e. Hanna and Dalton. The story is good, quite similar to the DA storyline. S2 will start tomorrow and I will be watching.

Going to keep my eye out for this...One of my friends in my gaming clan from the UK sent me a trailer link to this last night and it reminds me SO MUCh of Dark Angel with a female lead character and special abilities like being able to see farther, have super speed, and super strength and stuff. Only difference is that all of this is due to bionics instead of DNA but it looks like it has the same feel and it's on FOX so go figure It's called Bionic Woman: www.tv.com/bionic-woman/show/71468/summary.html?q=bionic%20woman&tag=search_results;title;0Another one I'm looking at that he threw my way was called The Sarah Conner Chronicles - "The Terminator franchise arrives on TV with this serial drama. Set a year after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day the series follows Sarah and John Connor as they hide from the authorities and Skynet's army of Terminators" Looked good in the trailer..a lot of special effects and stuff. Just something else I'm looking at in the fall... www.tv.com/the-sarah-connor-chronicles/show/68708/summary.html?q=Sarah%20Conner%20Chronicles&tag=search_results;title;0

Putting "Bones" on at the same time as "NCIS" for example was going to make people choose which show to watch and Fox soon moved "Bones." I think that the only show that Fox us concerned about is "American Idol", I would watch "Bionic Woman" but, since its on Fox I am not epecting it to get a fair shot given Fox's history, but, I would watch it if it were on a network other than Fox.

S2 will start tomorrow and I will be watching. I have been watching Kyle XY, which reminds me a lot of Dark Angel. Instead of genetically enhanced beings, these are enhanced cloned beings. They don't have belly buttons. The bad guys are after Kyle XY to kill him or bring him back to the place he was made. Tonight they mentioned the name of the compound he was made at and it was called Manticore or Matticore.

Whenever I watch the Gilmore Girls on that channel I see about a billion commercials for Kyle XY and after your first post I always think "hey, dutch is watching that show" ;D. Still I haven't watched it yet , I thought he was an alien , guess I need to watch more than just the commercials ;D. Later this week Psych is coming back for it's summer season . This show is a lot of fun IMO. And later this summer sometime not sure when but It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia returns.....funniest show on TV IMHO.

If I caught the ad right, they're investigating one of those "American Idol" sorts of shows, and have the two of them auditioning at some point. And I think they have a nasty Simon character being played by Tim "Let's Do the Time Warp Again" Curry -- ought to be fun! The new season premiered tonight for Eureka-- great ep; darkness afoot! (C'mon, dzero, I have to convince you this is a cool show!) I like it all but I'm falling pretty hard for the main character, the sheriff-- he's just so damn likeable! (sort of a modern day Jimmy Stewart, but less stumbly about it?) ;D

Sounds like you're gearing up to run for some elected office-- if you do, you have my vote! (I'll even sign up to make yard signs ;D)Cop "we found prints." Psychic "was he driving a little red corvette?" Psychic's sidekick "was he under a cherry moon?" Cop "we found fingerprints." Just my luck, I missed the new ep-- both times it was shown! I had really wanted to see it-- hope it was a good one. I really wish USA would jump on the bandwagon started by its older cousins, NBC & CBS and post eps to watch on line...
