    of course you did

      I think the "X-Files" has held up very well. great writing..great cast...off the wall crazy shit...

      I keep wanting to do a Twin Peaks re-watch/marathon......

        my biggest problem with the X-Files is that half the episodes would get resolved with an iPhone. I love the mythology/CSM/Lone Gunmen stuff though

        • DVR'd the new CBS show Stalker, have not watched yet

          thought it was the worst idea ever, but Criminal Minds showcases serial killers and I've watched that (sometimes hitting delete, like when the killer is mentally disabled or - ok, a lot of deletes because the show is too often creepy)

          how many years away are we from a "Burn the Witch at the Stake" reality show with real victims?

            I did not have any interest in watching Stalker, but my wife had interest.

            Had.

            She watched 15 minutes, deleted the show, and killed the series recording.
            Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

            • enjoyed stalker. Like both stars though, so that helped.

                Mrs. Gregg and I watch Criminal Minds. It is creepy some we have seen seem to go over the line even for them.

                We have no interest in watching Stalker. Just the name is a turnoff. Previews did not help.

                • Just caught up with the first few episodes of Gotham. I normally hate comic book movies, but this has been top notch.

                            What shows should I look to power watch On Demand or via Amazon Prime? I need to find another series that I can crack out on.

                            I've seen (and liked):

                            Sopranos
                            Deadwood
                            Walking Dead
                            Game of Thrones
                            Lost
                            Breaking Bad
                            The Wire
                            Dexter (stupid crappy ending....damn you!)


                            Any great HBO-esque series out there that I've missed?
                            If you're looking for series that are complete.

                            Rome
                            Six Feet Under

                            Ones still going.

                            Luther
                            Hannibal
                            Rectify
                            Orphan Black
                            Orange is the New Black

                              • Carnivale is another, though it doesn't appeal to everybody.
                                Big Love is similar.
                                ditto True Blood.
