    2018 Winter Olympics - Pyeongchang, South Korea

    The Winter Olympics start tonight. And with actual live coverage. I guess it is no longer hard to believe that NBC would have influence to change the start times, to make it live for viewers in the US. Though live coverage did not seem to matter much with Rio. Still hard to believe that North...

    2016 Summer Olympics - Rio de Janerio, Brazil

    Even though competition already started, Olympic history is about to be officially made in less than 24 hours. Though, from what I have read and seen on TV, it is not looking like a good one so far. Still, I will be watching, which I expect to be mostly live.

    NBA 2015-16 Season

    I know the NBA does not generate much discussion these days, but I just had to say a few things... 1. The Sixers finally won a game! So at least, they won't be alone in having the worst start in NBA history! 2. And it happened at the start of Kobe Bryant's farewell tour! That is all! :)

    Zootopia

    Disney's next animated movie, after taking a 2 year break. This looks and sounds like "Castle" with fur.

    2015 NBA playoffs

    Well, I never thought that I would start a NBA thread, as it tends to be 4th for me, out of the 4 major sports. Still, after watching Game 1's in each conference, I find myself almost wanting to watch these playoffs over the NHL's. This has to be a first, that a #1 and #2 seeds from both...

    2015 Track the TV episodes you Watched

    It's already February, and I did not see any thread for this year. Sometimes, I wonder if I should still post it here on this forum, or on the TV Programming forum instead. Since it has started, the number of episodes watched during the following years... 2009 - 1419 2010 - 1367 2011 -...

    The Book of Life

    An animated film from Reel FX. I just got back from seeing this movie in the theater, not really sure what to expect, but the theatrical trailer was just visually appealing, so I decided to check it out. And visually appealing, it was. I thought the animation was just great to watch, especially...

    Mr. Peabody & Sherman - worth seeing in theaters?

    Wow, it seems like Dreamworks does not get much love here.Anyway, I was wondering, what others think of the latest Dreamworks film? I am debating whether to go see it in theaters, or just wait for Netflix.I did enjoy the segments on TV show, though not as entertaining as Fractured Fairy Tales...

    2014 Winter Olympics - Sochi, Russia

    The Winter Olympics have arrived, with competition starting a day early. I hope to get the power back in my home by then, so I can catch the prime time coverage. I believe the time zone difference will be 9 hours, between Sochi and where I live, in Philly.

    Books You've Read in 2013

    After not having read a single book since 2011, I got back into the habit of reading again. And maybe it's just me, but I find myself reading 3 or 4 books at a time. I know, really crazy to read more than one at a time, which I have not done since high school, when I had to read one book for...

    The Amazing Race 22

    The new season started today, and already, I get the impression that this should be one of the most interesting casts. The first part felt like the race of old, with no startling line task, and just drive straight to LAX. And even showing the teams in their cars, sharing how excited they were...

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Season 8

    I'm surprised there is no thread on this season so far. I am enjoying this season as much as the last season. Have to say, the last one is funny in a disgusting way, which is not surprising at all with the McPoyles involved.

    The Amazing Race 21

    The cast list is here. After watching the Australian edition of TAR this past summer, I am really hoping this upcoming season of the US version will not be lopsided like the previous season was, where it was basically a race between 2 teams only. Also, it looks like no first-time...

    2012 Summer Olympics - London, England

    With competition already under way, as I have caught a couple soccer games yesterday, I am really looking forward to the Olympics, as London will be the only city to be hosting 3 times. Sucks that I could not make it there, being that these Games would be one of the easiest to get to, in a...

    MTV's Teen Wolf

    Funny thing, is that this show did not register on my radar until I saw an ad for it, while traveling in Europe. I decided to check it out, and surprisingly, I find it enjoyable and addictive. Hard to believe that, considering the name of the show and the fact that it's on MTV, a network that I...

    Around the World In 80 Plates (Bravo)

    Wow, I did not expect to watch anything worthwhile on this network, until I read about this show, and the travel junkie in me, was immediately intrigued. There have been attempts to duplicate The Amazing Race, but come out not as good, and in some cases, I ended up hating it. Treasure Hunters...

    The Amazing Race 20

    Cheese and crackers, I forgot about the Masters tournament, which can cause TAR to be delayed tonight. In any event, prepare your recording devices accordingly. Here's hoping for a double U-Turn in this upcoming leg, which I think, is due.

    The Secret World of Arrietty

    Well, I just caught this film at a theater that was still playing it. Just started getting into the Ghibli films, and have seen only 4 so far, including this one. Just too bad that this movie was hardly promoted, as the only time I saw a trailer for it, was when I went to see Beauty and the...

    Franklin & Bash

    I don't know if anyone watches this show. Well, I finally got around to watch the first couple episodes of this show. So far, it has been okay so far, but then again, my expectations for this show were really low, as this show did not exactly get favorable reviews. Basically, I see it as...

    Damages Season 4 (DirecTV)

    New season starts tonight, as the show makes its premiere on DirecTV. As if I don't have enough on my plate with summer shows. Should be interesting to see where they takes things from last season, as this one will be the first without Tom, and see what happened to Michael.

    Suits

    I don't know if anyone else caught the premiere of this show on USA. Didn't really hear much about it, until the day it premiered. And looking at the cast, I only knew 2 of them. And from what I see in the Pilot, I like it so far. Probably typical of a USA show, which isn't necessarily a bad...

    Body of Proof - Season 1

    ABC's last hope, as it looks like the rest of their new shows will be cancelled. I caught the first episode this past Tuesday, and thought it was okay. Has that feel of Castle, and reminds me very much of Quincy ME (if anybody remembers that show). I don't know if it will be enough to ease...

    The Amazing Race season 18 - Unfinished Business

    Well, with the season less than a week away, and the cast list already put up, with only one of them actually getting to take care of unfinished business. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/ My disappointment, is not including any teams from the earlier seasons (TAR1-10), and...
