it was tough work but someone had to do it. i recently finished watching all 4 seasons of battlestar galactica. as a longtime science fiction fan i thought battlestar was good but not the second coming as many critics made out. it got a little too full of itself in season 4. it seemed like all the rave reviews went to their heads.
i found the last 3 shows of season 3 to be the absolute pinnacle of the series. those shows were the trial of gauis baltar, the star of the series in my opinion. the series was on the cusp of greatness at that point but the bigshots running the show decided to get all artsy fartsy and topical. when the chief and colonel tigh were revealed to be cylons i was expecting great things but no, they pandered to the critics.
i've recently started watching deadwood for the 4th time. at first i was a little hesitant to commit myself to watching all 3 season again but after 5 minutes i fell in love all over again. this time around i've decided to pace myself. the plan is watch about 20 minutes each evening after a little fishing. i've said it before and i'll say it again, e.b. farnum and al swearengen are the best team in the history of television. i wonder how many times i'll watch the series before i croak?
i rest my case.

What did you think of Kung Fu starring David "Grasshopper" Caradine?
Your case is won.
I loved that show..think you will really like sons of anarchy as it has many of the deadwood cast...

Seriously Leo, I figured you'd eat BSG up, especially the new, less-Disneyesque version, which is how it shoulda' been to begin with.
Where have I been and why haven't I seen Deadwood yet?! I've been off watching back-to-back episodes of Brit tv: "Bramwell" and "Inspector Lewis" from the BBC via Netflix. When I get all the way through a series (Doc Martin, Lark Rise To Candleford), I mourn because there's nothing good left to watch.
Thanks! Now I have something to look forward to!
Check out Arrested Development.
gb - i liked kung fu very much. westerns with a little sci fi are quite good. i consider religion to be sci fi.
bob - thanks
yellowdog - i love them both. another 4 weeks or so and i start the sons.
gait - i'm a big battlestar fan but the last season disappointed me a bit.
nance - i you can take a little swearing deadwood is the best tv show ever made in my opinion.
thims - buster and liza minelli were my favorite tv couple.
Cute video. :-)
I've maybe watched two episodes of battlestar galactica, reality is more than strange enough for me.
Hey, you monkeys watch too much tv (but some of them are cute cocksuckers). :-)
I think you hit the nail on the head about why BSG went down the tubes the last season.
I miss Deadwood. Wish they had continued. Maybe I'll take a cue from you and find it on DVD.
HBO does that... gets me all hooked on a series, then decides it's too expensive to continue and leave me hanging. They did it with Carnival. I'm not sure I want to trust them. I haven't seen Boardwalk Empire, but I'm thinking it might hook me in. I can't help but think once I do, they'll drop it.
bill - you gotta watch deadwood. if you liked lonesome dove, deadwood is 74 times better.
silly - i watched season 1 of boardwalk empire and it was pretty good. i'll probably watch season 2 in a few months once all the episodes are available to watch over a week or so. i need to watch them consecutively or i tend to forget what happened in previous episodes.
my brain is showing signs of aging these days.
Geez, I don't have much time to watch much tv anymore, right now I'm trying to get the back supports made for the boat top, between trips to the internut.
But judging by the video I'll agree that it's better than Lonesome Dove.
Deadwood is indeed good stuff. It just blew everyone away when it first aired. I loved BSG but it did fade at the end, and they should have kept it to 12 episodes a year. When they added the extra episodes, a lot of them felt like fluff and filler. However, overall the series was not too shabby. Have a good one, BP.

BBC, you need an analyst and a therapist. In short, you need an analrapist.
Thimscool, you know what I need, the same thing all men need.
But enough about that, I wish the cocksuckers in charge of the sunshine would give us more of it.
mr shife - as usual, thank you for your support.
thims - i was afraid to click on the link for bill. he's a bit of dirty old man you know.
bill - we had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and today's pretty nice too. i cleaned my gutters this morning, what a feckin mess.
I'm no more dirty than the rest of you, I'm just honest about it is all.
We're getting some sun now, and I've finished getting the rear supports for the boat top made and installed so that is good.
Quote of the day, provided by Alistair, he did some blogging after his divorce, and visited my blog, until he found another cocksucker and got married….. “anyway, i gotta go, the devil's cock won't suck it's self.....”
He still exchanges some emails with me, lives in Toronto, he's one of your own. :-)
i thought nothing was impossible for the devil.
Maybe it's possible for the devil but why would he want to do that when he can have a female do it for him?
Give the devil a blow job and he can be benevolent, hehehe
@ thimscool- LOL! I've never heard that insult before.
Getting some sun today, this is good.
silly - i missed the insult from thims. his and bill's humor goes right over my head quite often. that might be a good thing.
It wuz an insult? I thought it wuz just goofy.
