Popspotting #89: “The Wire” (July 12, 2011)
No less than the leader of the free world has declared “The Wire” on HBO to be his favorite show. This series, which ran for five seasons, pretty much appears in most dictionaries next to the entry for “critically acclaimed.” Written by author and one-time police reporter David Simon, “The Wire” explores every facet of urban life in Baltimore, from top-level civil servants to lost children on the streets. how to use ivermectin on goats
There are so many characters with so many stories, our brains practically exploded trying to cover everything we loved in one short podcast. And we’re not even done watching the entire series. ivermectin avian
In our obviously not very humble opinion, you should be watching “The Wire.” If you are, or are not, we’d love to hear what you think about what many say is the best television drama there ever was. ivermectina miasis perros
Popspotting #84: “Justified” (July 5, 2011)
When we first launched Popspotting and asked for your recommendations on TV shows to watch, “Justified” was one of the most popular suggestions. So this week, after working our way through most of the first season, we share our first take on this FX series.
Created by Graham Yost, “Justified” stars Timothy Olyphant as deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a character from stories by Elmore Leonard. Set in Harlan in Eastern Kentucky, Raylan enforces his own brand of justice while coming to terms with the people and problems from his past. The series also stars Joelle Carter as Ava Crowder, Natalie Zea as Winona Hawkins, Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder and Nick Searcy as Art Mullen.
As of this podcast, we’re four episodes away from the Season 1 finale, and looking to pick up Season 2. The series has been renewed for a third season, which won’t air until next year.
So, “Justified” fans, have we done “Justified” justice? Is there anything great we’re still missing?
Popspotting #79: Firefly (June 28, 2011)
It’s been over a decade since the crew of the Serenity first took flight on FOX. The short, sporadic, eleven-episode run of Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” is now the poster child for all smart television that’s prematurely killed by stupid networks. A “space western” may have been impossible to categorize, but the show is impossible to resist, with colorful, fleshed-out characters, brisk and brilliant writing, and a tragically huge sense of potential that sadly was never realized. The 2005 movie “Serenity” helped to continue the story, but fans are still eternally left wanting more.
Helping to keep the spirit of “Firefly” alive are annual charity screenings of “Serenity” called “Can’t Stop the Serenity.” They’re staged all around the world, most recently in Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, even Vancouver, Canada, and Newcastle, UK. (Next stop, Pittsburgh, PA and Madison, WI.)
Popspotting #74: Weeds (June 21, 2011)
Last week we talked about a series in which a devoted parent turns to illegal drug sales to make ends meet for the family. Why not continue the theme? For TV Tuesday, we discuss “Weeds,” a series on Showtime created by Jenji Kohan.
While the setup is similar, “Weeds” is almost the opposite of “Breaking Bad. quanox medicamento ” Whimsical, hilarious, shiny and sexy. It stars Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins, Justin Kirk, Kevin Nealon, Hunter Parrish, and Alexander Gould. sjk ivermectin youtube The seventh season begins June 27, 2011.
We’re only caught up through season five, with season six on our to-do list. Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we know what’s ahead. But we’re enjoying ourselves enough to continue. ivermectina gigi becali Are you watching “Weeds”? Did you give up on it? What other shows could fill the same “wickedly fun adult comedy” slot on our TiVo?
Popspotting #69: “Breaking Bad” (June 14, 2011)
When it comes to solid drama and knockout performances, our absolute favorite show right now is “Breaking Bad” on AMC.
It was the series most often recommended to us when we were wallowing in a post-“LOST” fugue state, and it deserves all the acclaim it gets. No, there’s no science fiction, and just a smattering of science. But “Breaking Bad” is intense, gripping, mesmerizing television. Some of its lightest moments are also its darkest, and some of the humor is beautifully painful. We can’t recommend it enough.
The Season 3 DVD just came out last week, and Season 4 premieres on July 17. So if you’re not yet aboard, you’ve got just enough time to catch up.
And if you love “Breaking Bad” as much as we do, Gavin here in Honolulu points out that you can’t miss the “Breaking Bad Insider Podcast.”
If you’re not watching, why not? And if you are, how much do you love the show? خريطة رالي داكار السعودية 2022 Jen suggests that Aaron Paul (as Jesse) has an even tougher job than Bryan Cranston (as Walter)… ربح المال مجانا and given where Season 3 left off (no spoilers!), I think things will only get more amazing for both of them this year. موقع كيوي
Popspotting #64: Dead Like Me & Pushing Daisies (June 7, 2011)
This week we shift from current shows to long-lost shows, focusing on a pair of quirky death-centric stories created by Bryan Fuller. “Dead Like Me” saw two solid seasons on Showtime and a less-than-solid straight-to-DVD movie a few years later. “Pushing Daisies” couldn’t catch a break, stumbling through only two partial seasons on ABC. But both are worth checking out today, on DVD or via Netflix streaming.
“Dead Like Me” follows the post-death life of Georgia “George” Lass (Ellen Muth), who becomes a Grim Reaper and receives regular assignments to collect the souls of the soon-to-be dead.
“Pushing Daisies” is described as a “forensic fairy-tale,” in which a pie-maker with a magical touch (Ned, played by Lee Pace) and a murdered childhood love (Charlotte, played by Anna Friel) join forces with a private investigator to solve crimes while uncovering secrets in their own lives.
“Pushing Daisies” is described as a spinoff of “Dead Like Me.” We love to imagine on our own how the two worlds might intersect.
Are you a fan of either or both of these shows? Any other Fuller projects (Wonderfalls, Star Trek: DS9) we should check out?
Popspotting #59: “Hawaii Five-0″ & “Chuck†(May 31, 2011)
Today we catch up on a couple of our weekly watches: “Hawaii Five-0,” the reboot of the classic cop show on CBS, and “Chuck” on NBC, one of the geekiest shows on television.
We harbor no illusions that “Five-0” is a gripping, original cop show, and Jen only watches when she’s in the mood for its particular brand of melodrama. Scott Caan is the standout star, and his chemistry with both Alex O’Loughlin and Claire van der Boom makes for some great scenes. We only wish Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park had more interesting things to do. Still, we’re having fun, and we loved the first season finale.
As for “Chuck,” once a reliable laugh-out-loud pop-savvy comedy, we lament the developments of the latest season, in which a colorful ensemble has taken a back seat to a fairly weak romantic pairing that was far more interesting before they were a couple. The series has fought for its life before, and we hope the writers fight to bring it back from the brink of boring.
Where will the second season of “Five-0” pick up? And what truly original plot twist could save “Chuck” next fall?
