What TV Show Should I Add To My Schedule?

Ok as I mentioned earlier during the TV previews, I'm after an opinion.  I'm looking for one possibly two new TV shows to get into, I don't have time to watch everything of course and I already  watch Dexter, Terra Nova, Homeland, Person of Interest, The Walking Dead and Two and a Half Men, how do I get time to go through all those is what I sometimes think and now I'm looking to add another show, what's on my list?

First off I want to mention Fringe, the show is now into it's fourth season and the 7th episode is due to air on Friday, my intention would be to catch up with the fourth season and continue to watch keeping up with America.  I actually watched about half a dozen episodes of the first season of the show, for some reason or other I stopped watching.  It's a J.J. Abrams show which means it's pretty good and I've watched the preview for the seventh episode which looks pretty awesome, I'm really thinking this will be my new squeeze.  Let me know what you think, would you enjoy reading about this show?  Do you watch it?  And can you help bring me up to speed with things as Ruben did with Dexter?

Next is a show that's never really interested me until recently.  My brother in law called my about Supernatural earlier in the week asking why it wasn't on TV here in England on Wednesday night as it always is.  My answer was simple, how do I know, I don't watch it.  He told me it's the only thing worth watching right now since Lost and Prison Break left our screens (he doesn't watch the shows I mentioned above).  That made me think should I be taking this in, I've seen the latest preview and it does look pretty good.  One problem though it's into it's ninth season, I would catch up with this season then watch with America as I will with Fringe, is it worth my time?

What about Chuck?  Does anyone watch that one?  It's a kind of an action comedy where Chuck (Zachary Levi) is a spy who's friend works for the CIA.  He E-Mails something to Chuck which embeds in his brain.  It's probably kind of a long shot due to the fact that this show was almost cancelled after 2 seasons, it was only renewed for a third after a big investment from it's sponsor.  They have announced that the current fifth season will be the last, if I am to watch it I probably take it from the start.

Next one I'm thinking will be worth my time is Sons Of Anarchy, nothing better than a bunch of vigilante motorcyclists roaming around, right?  I really don't know to much about this show other than it stars the guy who played Hellboy.  Season 4 of the show has just started and a fifth has already been ordered.  Sons Of Anarchy is the highest rated FX TV show ever and pulls in big audiences week on week.  What do you think should I check this out?  My intention will be to watch season 4 from the beginning and catch up to where it's at on TV.

Now one show that I'm definitely going to be watching, Breaking Bad.  I have been promising myself for long enough now, I just got my hands on the Blu-Ray box set and intend on watching the show from the start, starting tonight hopefully.  Breaking Bad follows Walter White (Bryan Cranston) a teacher who finds out he has lung cancer, not wanting to leave his family empty handed he sets up his own methamphetamine lab and becomes a distributor of the drug.  The show has won wide spread critical acclaim and has won 6 Emmy awards, 3 of which were for best leading actor in a TV show for Bryan Cranston.  Season 5 of the show has been ordered and will be 16 episodes possibly split across two seasons.  AMC have confirmed it will be the last one.

All in all Breaking bad is the definite for me and maybe Fringe I think, but what do you think do you know of any reasons why I should avoid them?  If so then let me know, maybe you know about a show that I haven't mentioned in the list, if so don't hesitate to tell me about it in comments.

"Poll Results" And Your Favourite Superhero Is

Following an extensive week long poll here on Movies Music & Television a whole 5 people voted as to who their favourite superhero is.  Turns out no one likes Captain America he didn’t get one single vote, no one likes Superman either.

Votes went to Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, Iron Man and The Hulk.  They all got one vote each.

I was expecting to have a little more to write about in relation to the poll but I guess no one saw it on the right sidebar, and it seems that superhero polls are much of a much ness on the net.  For that reason I’ll talk about one of the superhero’s who got your vote.  It will be brief as there really isn’t much to say.

The Hulk who received one vote from someone, I’ll presume either Glen or Ruben just happened to be on TV here Saturday night.  It wasn’t the Edward Norton version either it was Eric Bana, quite possibly the worst superhero movie I have seen.  I watched the movie in full sometime back and on Saturday decided to switch it off after about 15 minutes, why?  Well like I said above it’s bad.

A mini movie review of Hulk (2003)

I like Eric Bana, movies like Munich and Chopper are great, but for me his version of Hulk was a awful.  I actually enjoyed it the first time I saw it but having watched part of it again at the weekend it’s more like a kiddie adventure than a feature film.  I did like some of the casting in the movie Eric Bana of course, then Nick Nolte as Hulk’s father was also a good choice, Lou Ferrigno the original Hulk from the TV show also plays a canny little cameo.

It’s just a shame really that none of that reflects in the movie, I am yet to see the Norton version but have seen plenty of reviews and can only imagine that it’s better than this one, maybe someone can enlighten me.  I think looking back on the movie now my favourite part was actually the end when Eric Bana is in the Amazon working as a Doctor, some guys try to steal some medical supplies and he mumbles “me haces, no me gusta cuando estoy enojado” which is Spanish for “you’re making me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry”.  No I can’t speak Spanish that is courtesy of Google Translate, the only Spanish I pick up is usually courtesy of Dora The Explorer.

Since the Poll was effectively a draw I suppose I get the casting vote.  I going to say that it’s a draw between Iron Man and Spider-Man.  Thanks for the votes and maybe I’ll run another poll sometime.

Who's your Favourite Superhero?

Ok for today's post you are going to have to forgive me a little, this was supposed to be the new must have music post in relation to the Foo Fighters, unfortunately I haven't had time to do that yet as I was busy all day yesterday and have been recovering from Saturday Nights hangover today, I have now been trying to type this short ditty for 3 hours not because I didn't know what to write just other stuff to do.

The idea has just come to me today as I had nothing else to post, what if I run a poll for a week on who is your favourite superhero?  The idea sort of came after regular reader and commenter Ruben informed me that there is no way Captain America is the most famous American superhero.  I have done some rooting around to try and find who is but obviously everyone has a different idea on the subject.  The poll will run for a week like I said above, give people time to see Captain America.  The voting box is over on the right side where the popular posts section usually sits (that will be back following the poll) so go over and vote for your favourite.

Your choices: Captain America, Spider-Man, Superman, Iron Man, Batman, The Hulk and X Men.

If I have missed any then be sure to let me know in the comments, especially if your choice is not there tell me.  The results will be put out next Sunday as to who your favourite is in another post.  This is the blogs first poll so help me out a little.

This is not the best post I know but I'm strapped for time and It's all I could put together, I'm back to work tomorrow though so may get some time then.  As normal the Monday movie review will be out tomorrow that's already done and it is on Iron Man who my vote has gone to in this poll.

Get hunting round the blog to all of the tabs at the top work now making it easier for you to navigate and the search box also works and remember don't forget to vote in the poll.
