Hello /tv/.I have never been a big of television. I mean, I could vent for hours on how bad television has become, how bad the acting and screenplay are and how predictable most, if not all the plots are.Kudos if you can present to me a show that isn't Dexter, Lost, Sons of Anarchy or any cartoon that I would like.Currently into movies by Van Sant and movies such as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and L.A. Confidential.
>>7015904**been a big FAN of television
You probably won't like anything we suggest.
>>7015926I mean, why partake in a weekly one hour long fuss filled with commercials and a lot of unneeded drama.
>any cartoon that I would like.I guess Samurai Jack's out of the question, then.
>>7015946Get DVR
Rome.Arrested Development.Jonathan Creek.
>>7015956Rome is like a really long movie. If you're into history, you already know the premise and obvious fall of the empire.Jonathan Creek, that I have not heard of and I got quite bored of Arrested Development after about 4 episodes.>>7015950Is it any good?
>>7015987>Is it any good?
>>7015999You're implying what exactly?
Pushing Daisies or X-Filesfuck, I love Chi McBride
my life as liz
>>70159875/10
I don't understand OP's image.
>>7016016We will now suffer scripted reality tv of high-schoolers.
>>7015987DENSE
Film > Televison by a long shot.Film is art whereas Television exists only to sell to simple minded individuals who are pleased with a 30-60 minute dose of fantasy a week.
You won't like this. It's predictable and the writing is usually terrible. But all the same it's fucking awesome and has occasionally great stories.You won't like it the first time you see it. Maybe not even the second time. But give it enough time and it will grow on you.
>>7016093Film is fun, television is fun. Go fuck yourself.
>>7016093
Television is great and has been getting better over the past decade.Anyone who is a film snob and "doesn't watch tv" can fuck themselves, they don't know what they're missing.
>>7016093I couldn't agree more. It's the reason why I generally shy away from TV shows because I've learned to be disappointed by them. Most have an epic pilot episode, then everything else turns to low budget drama.There are exceptions though. I particularly enjoy stuff from the UK.
>>7016093Film is about money.Television is about money.Lowest Common Denominator prevails.Take your pretentious head out of your ass, media is big business. Period.Pic Related, as it always should be.
>>7016145>>7015987>>7015904Troll? You decide!
>>7016093>Implying people watch only 30-60minutes of tv a week
love love love OPs pic
>>7016155Yeah just like how Tarantino and Scorcese were all about the money with their budget debuts?Inglorious Bastards isn't a good movie by any standards.
>>7016161He said he got bored of Arrested Development, this guy has no taste, or is trolling, but I'm going to say he's just a douche.
>>7016161Nah not troll, it's true.If your favourite tv show is a sitcom, it's already on shit tier.If it's more ambitious it has potential but only if it's not full of faux drama. I don't think I can name a single good American TV show that isn't full of drama, or where the drama is the focal point and not plot development.
>>7016194Thank you.And Arrested Development just never caught my attention, maybe I should try watching it again?
>>7016179I have another.
Watch anime and realize how bad American TV shows are in comparison.Anime (not modern moe shit) is ambitious and so creative. In b4 weaboo.
>>7016212If you didn't get it the first time, don't bother with it again.You don't deserve it.
>>7016178Guy you quoted is a troll or a retard, or a retarded troll. We report, you decide.The average person watches 6+ hours of television a day. Children in westernised countries, watch more television daily on average than they spend in school. Reports have been created, scientific studies have been reviewed. The results are the same every time.People watch too much media and the ones who watch the most have the lowest intellect on average. There are exceptions to every rule, but not everyone is a precious unique snowflake.
>>7016236Thanks but I meant to explain those who invest an hour to their "favourite show".
>>7016184>You just proved his point for him. No need to imply.
Take the most popular tv show on /tv/ at the moment... LOST.I stomached up to the beginning of Season 2 but then said FUCK THIS SHIT when they kept introducing new mysteries every fucking episode without resolving anything.Why the hell did the smoke monster pull out the pilot in episode 1 anyhow.
>>7016236>We report, you decide.Fox news is Fox
There is SO much good tv, it blows my mind you lump it all together like it's a single genre....
>>7016257Because the actor had to go be Matt Parkman in heroes.
>>7016279Troll.
>>7016225robotech. the original series
>>7016290Nigga, you crazy
ITT fags who don't know the difference between good tv and bad tv
>>7016257I quit the second they thought there was a giant ape in the jungle. I said "Fuck this shit! I didn't sign up for Gilligan's Island meets King Kong".>Never looked backPic not related but worth reading again
>>7016290I'm a troll for saying there is good tv?
Breaking Badthats about it... everything else on tv is a pile of shit
>>7016257>Why the hell did the smoke monster pull out the pilot in episode 1 anyhow.Because Esau is dick.
>>7016308Implying there is a difference anymore.
BBC here, OP is a fag.
>>7016332What's it about?

>>7016351>Implying there is a difference anymore.You forgot your greentext.

>>7016381>Gotta get my fix.Television fans > Meth addicts.The stereotypes fit like a fucking glove.
>>7015953>Pays for DVR. Pays to watch television full of product placements.
The WireArrested DevelopmentThe Big Bang TheoryCalifornicationMost won't agree with this but I find Buffy/Angel to be quite good shows, despite the shitty marketing and hype it had back in the day.They are by no means perfect but I've found them to be a good watch.
>>7016420>Big Bang TheorySit coms are automatically pieces of shit.
>>7016416Well I think you meant to say "tv viewers = meth addicts" but I will agree meth addicts are worse, they steal tvs.
The trolls are out in force tonight
>>7016457Sage your dick nigger.
