I just realized that last week was the season finale of Sunny. :rant:

Thats a bit of a downer, was looking forward to it tonight.

It ended up being a good season but I didn't really like the final 2 episodes (The Gang Goes to Hell, Parts 1 and 2).

Mac and Dennis move to the Suburbs was probably a top 10 best episode for me.

The rest of the season seemed average to me.

I think my favourite was "Being Frank". I loved the show Peep Show (great show especially if you're into British humour) and I thought the POV style was great especially for a character like Frank. Devito did a great job and listening to his thought process was hilarious.

If anybody is looking for a new show I recommend Last Man On Earth, best comedy on TV imo.

Not much to be honest. I'm probably going to avoid the season altogether, at least until I've read the book. Haven't really liked the direction the tv show has taken, I feel it veers from the books for the wrong reasons.

The show as a whole might be my favorite of all time though, just can't measure up to the books.

You'll have to avoid a few seasons of the show until the book comes out at this rate.

My wife was a fan of the books. Showcase broadcast the first season and season two is scheduled for April 10 premiere.

Great story and series....Historical, time travel, love, violence. Really well done.

I do my best to not try and compare the two. I think that's really the best way you can get around the differences present in any book to visual media adaptation. It was pretty difficult during season five though :laugh:

So many great storylines changed...

current fav tv show:
Better Call Saul
People think its slow moving.....nope. Very impressive character development. And so nice to see Mike's back story developed.
Highly recommended, think its even better than Breaking Bad.

Not going to lie I kind of feel like this aswell. Many elements have been changed from the books to the show. If they kill stannis and have him be the person burned and flayed in the trailer I'mma be pissed. Stannis has one of my favourite stories in the books and by the spoilers from Wow, looks like he will defeat the ******* and Bolton. That and the whole leaving out central characters makes the show a bit hard to watch. Hoping WoW can come out late 2016.

Read the books, watch the series, I pretend they have nothing to do with each other, makes the series tolerable.

I'm really enjoying the Mike story line more than the Saul one. The introduction of Salamanca makes it even more interesting.

Much like Breaking Bad, the show gets better and better with each episode.

I just started reading "The Expanse" series, which is also a show on ScyFy. Really enjoying it so far, just started the second book a few days ago.

Anyone?

Any one else watch Impastor?

I watched the first episode on a whim. I guess mainly because I enjoyed Smallville. Pretty good show.

I thought I would pass this along to you Android users, for those of you who can't keep track of when your shows I use an app called 'TVShow Time'. Free has no popups, and you don't have to sign up, it can be skipped. Really cool app for tracking your shows (when they come back on air, new episodes, etc)
