I LOVED revenge back in season 1... then season 2 went so off course with the whole initiative stuff and it really lost my interest... i did finish it and tried season 3, but I just couldn't get into it again... maybe one day i'll go back and catch up (i have seen a few spoilers involving grayson destruction and psych wards ****) but not right now EDIT: May have just spoiled myself and learned the big premiere twist of season 4.... wow!! pretty crazy.. not sure how i feel about it though.. 

Also has anyone seen the new MTV show "Happyland"?? I love amusement parks (like LOVE them) haha so I think its really cool that they are doing a scripted series set in one... and holy **** what a friggin twist at the end of the premiere.. insanely gross, but MTV is known for pushing the boundaries haha should be interesting and make for good drama

Watch it!!!!!!!! The twist is so worth the half hour pilot!!!! It's a dramedy but I don't want to ruin the plot because it's mainly about the twist! But you'll love it!!!!

Does anyone watch Revenge? Tonight's episode was amazing, but I'm getting tired of Charlotte. She has become way to annoying and whiny, I wouldn't feel sorry if she died. 

 

I am so over Charlotte! And Margo too for that matter...

 

I'm gonna be so ****** if David doesn't realize that "Emily" really is his daughter, and that "Amanda" is not dead. Victoria is going to do her best for them not to see eachother though. UUUUGggh I hate Victoria too! She's seriously more effed up that I thought if she's going to get David to try and unknowingly take out his own daughter....

I came SOOO close to giving up on Revenge, but it seriously came back in full force by the end of season 3, I think!

I've never watched the first two seasons, so, is this something to get excited over or not?

'Twins Peaks' Being Revived; New Episodes to Air on Showtime in 2016

just heard about this!!! I tried watching Twin Peaks last December and I almost got to the second season, but quit a little too early... I do want to finish it because I really want to know who murdered the girl, but the show is really slow... I can't really compare it to any other show then say... Fargo? The Killing? It's a slow burner with a lot of characters that all have their own personal problems. There's also a movie too.... with this news however, I'm definitely gonna have to go back and watch it all! I really liked the concept! (srsly f-ed up show though haha)

As Mitch said, it's a slow burner but it has great character development. Don't know how to feel about the revival, but of the story is good I don't mind. It's a cult classic for a reason. 

Is it only me or does anyone want a Freaks and Geeks reunion. I have watch the series like a dozen times and I never get tired of it.

I don't mind if it starts slow, most shows that do usually always end up being worthwhile. I just might check it out.

OMG A MILLION TIMES YES!!!! I friggin love Freaks & Geeks (despite being a new fan as of two years ago... i know, shame on me haha)... I would love a revival/continuation

Freaks and Geeks is a classic. Forever bitter at his sort lived series.

Shame all you americans who didn't watch the show when it aired. All the good shows get cancelled way to fast, this, Twin Peaks, Firefly, etc.

I know Sad I started 2-3 years ago too but it was just great. One of my all time favorite show.

Hm, I gotta check those 2 shows out. Never heard of them. Thanks for sharing though, with me finishing up GoT(pretty obessed with it now) I'm in the search for another show to watch atm.

Hope you enjoy them. I need to finish GoT already, I'm on season 2 still but I haven't had time.

Whaaatt? Once I started GoT I couldn't stop. Season 3 was a bit slow for me in the beginning but I love it.

It's pretty easy to get obsessed with GoT, hahaha!

I'm currently obsessed with crime/mystery thrillers. You should give True Detective a shot. You'll either absolutely love it or loathe it, there's no inbetween. I personally thought it was awesome, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are fantastic together!

in my defense, I was 7-8ish when it aired... and i'm Canadian Blum 3 (like it matters)

But at least it gained a cult following... maybe one day it will get a new season, just like Twin Peaks is getting! (you could even consider Undeclared a spin-off... you know, just set in modern day with the cast all having different names... lol)

I was like 3 years old when it aired lol. I forgot about Undeclared, it was sooo good (not as good as Freaks and Geeks though). Those were good times

It really is lol. It's hard right now for me because I'm use to watching episodes between cl***es or any free time I have.

Heard of the title but don't know much about it, but will definitely give it a try. I love crime/mystery so thanks for the recommendation! I feel like I'm behind in so many shows, I would rarely watch any new tv shows. But I know when winter comes and how my cl*** schedule is, I'll be sending my *** straight home, watch tv and ignore my social life.

No problem! Hopefully you'll like it!

Is there a thread for The Originals because The premiere last night was awesome

I think more people should give "Selfie" a chance... I almosssssst skipped it because of the wretched title, but since its Fall Premiere season, I try to watch as many new show pilots as a can... and I for one found this hilarious!!! Definitely underatted and struggling in the ratings (mostly because the stupid title)... but the leads are pretty amusing. Especially John Cho! It's a modern day twist on My Fair Lady... a business man with no connection to the social media world attempts to transform a vapid shallow twitter-famous intern into a respectable sales rep at the medical sales company they both work for... and vice versa.. she tries to bring him sort of up to speed with technologies advancements haha... Ignore the title and give the pilot a shot! Second episode was even better!

I don't think so, but feel free to start one...and that goes for all the new (or old) shows that you feel like talking about. 

 

Eva Longoria Producing Hispanic-Inspired Supernatural Anthology Series

At first I was like, "another anthology... seriously?" Then... I read this tidbit:

The project is described as a supernatural thriller in a realistic tone. Inspired by the rich world of Hispanic folklore and myth, each season will explore a different legend and be set in the present-day Southwest. The first season is based on the ancient Hispanic tale of La Llorona, the “weeping woman,” and follows a troubled Detective investigating a young mother accused of trying to drown her child in a small town hiding a supernatural secret. In the legend, a woman drowns her children for a man and is destined to search for them for eternity, sometimes abducting wandering children who resemble her own.

I'm liking that. A lot. I'm not very familiar with Hispanic folklore, so I'm down for this series. I love learning about different mythologies because I challenge myself to incorporate them into story ideas in inventive, grounded ways. It'll be interesting to see where this goes!

I'm hispanic and there's a lot they could choose from. This could be real interesting.
