Are you in Japan? Do you agree with Azrael's opinion that Japanese TV is the equivelent of eating sharp balls of tin foil, and painfully pushing it through your rectum, only to have a midget come and shove it right back up, then proceeding to attack you with a glass bat? (Disclaimer : Not verbatim )
Well then have I got the thread for you! Those of you in japan for the last two years or so, may not know about some of the good new TV shows that are being made. So, I propose that all of us in the land of "freedom" (Freedom-not-granted-to,Blacks-hispanics-germans-communists-homosexuals
-women-non-christians-jews-mormons-buddhists-hindu-muslims-liberals-
and-turnips) help tell them what to download!
You can get these show via BITTorrent, where, I don't know. I propose that anyone with a show to offer, offer it. Please, no anime, they can get it over there (Not to mention the majority of it *cough sucks *cough).
A great new show that has recently hit the airwaves is, a remake of that other fantastic show, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA! It is actually, really fucking good, and is being called by more then one critic, from more then one magazine (Yes, that's the clincher), the best show on television. If you can, download it, and bathe in it's awesome!
Two other shows I suggest you check out are the Stargate shows. Stargate-SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. These fabulous shows can be yours for free, as long as you use BITTorrent, or have someone give them to you. (The best part about them is that they're filmed in canada, which is almost a guarenteed awesome).
Another show is Firefly (Yes, it's the sci-fi lineup on friday, but they finally took the only sci-fi shows worth watching (that are still being made, save firefly). However, you may want to keep your eyes peeled for the Firefly movie, that should be released soon, if you watch the show, since the show doesn't really have an ending.
The 4400, The forty-four-hundred is an amazing series about people abducted by assholes from the future, and given crazy ass powers. Watch them fight the U.S. government, as only they can.
Thats the Drama/Scifi I suggest. I love them all.
For comedy, I suggest:
The Daily show with Jon Stewert. God I love you Jon Stewert, please help our people get more people to like us after The passion of the Christ. A very funny slant on the news in america, keeps you up to date. My favorite two segments are: "This week in god." and "Gay-Watch." (If you can't tell, I'm a dirty, dirty, liberal >=D )
South park, no explanation needed (However, I hear you can watch that in Japan, don't know about the new episodes though)
Family guy, IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK! THEY'VE BROUGHT IT BACK! AND IT'S MORE GLORIOUS THEN EVER! PRAISE MY AVATAR!
American Dad. Made by (and voiced) by the exact same man who does Family guy. One wonderful Seth McFarlan, who, despite his name, is also jewish. Ah wha? Yes, he said it himself (as far as I can remember, in that adult swim special anywho, he might've been kidding)
Venture Brothers. A very clever and witty farce on the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon, Johnny quest. It's great, and anyday now the second season should come to be. (It did get renewed as far as I understand, but I don't know what the delay is)
Monk, A very funny show about a obsessive compulsive detective, that is also crazy. Imagine that man in Japan, he'd be on the ground rocking himself back and forth.
For crazy ass shit that's just off the wall crazy:
Nip/Tuck WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Is that plastic surgeon having sex with his patient not three hours after enlarging her already humongous breasts? And why does that guy look so much like Michael Jackson? Yes my friends, this is a show about plastic surgery, and from what I hear from my Doctor of a father, plastic surgeons are that slutty.
And a non-japanese cartoon:
Justice League Unlimited. I don't actually watch this enough, but from what I do watch I can say, that it is actually.... good. It takes place in that neato universe, and it's really about superman and his buddies fighting the U.S. Government (At this point).
And two things I don't suggest you watch, are: 24, and the Fox News.
Fuck you 24, and your sensationalism bullshit about "terrorism" I am tired of this god damn retarded show. I've had someone tell me "But it's a little scary knowing that this could actually happen, terrorist cells are all over america, you know." WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Why for a second would you believe a Television show, made by FOX! It's one plot twist after another, and it's retarded. How many times can the same man save the United stats? Instead of decent writing, they just say the three golden words "Bomb, terrorist, America" for the entire show, and people apperently watch it thinking that yes, this is what america is like these days. No, forget that we haven't seen any terrorist activity in how long? Sigh...
And, the Fox news. They actually lie, and I hate them, and they are awful, awful people. However, i don't think you can watch that there, and the type of people who put programs on the internet probably aren't the kind to watch this.
Feel free to give more shows everyone, and while people are inclined to agree and disagree with other people about what is good and what isn't, don't let it escelate into an all out flame war. And please, have an opinion to back up your accusation, don't say things like "JUSTIC LEAGUE IS GHEY CAUSE IT'S NOT JAPANESE." Or I will come to your house, and drown your flowers.
Edit : Typos and a disclaimer (Something I should have had the intelligence to put up in the first place)
