These are more adult cartoons that probably won't  be found on those networks but I enjoy them:

The Ricky Gervais Show  (animated series made from podcasts featuring the always hilarious Karl Pilkington).

The Boondocks

The Life and Times of Tim

Scooby Doo - Mystery Incorporated started out brilliantly but is now in the same league or possibly worse than What's New Scooby-Doo.

The Boondocks sucks.

According to Barrowman the latest Torchwood story will have "mansex" in it.

A story would be more of a step in the right direction.

Seriously. That show is already WAAAY to obsessed with mann gegen mann. But the show has had man sex in it before, so it isn't anything new.

It's the overabundance of comments like these that have led me to avoid Torchwood altogether, despite being a casual nuWho fan who didn't mind Captain Jack's antics in that show.

It is your standard generic super top secret group of people who deal with alien sci-fi show that just happens to take place in the Doctor Who universe. I watched the entire series and don't regret it. Only two short season and the special everyone always gets all excited over. The series wasn't all bad, and I dare say I kind of enjoyed it at times. But at times it went way out of the way to push the bisexual stuff. Out of the main cast, the one character who isn't implied to have done someone of the same gender during the course of the show is shown in an extended make-out scene with another women.

It felt like they were trying really, really, really hard to please the gay community, but it just came off as over the top, unreasonable, and immature.

The Scooby Doo comparison has never made sense to me. Sometimes I think it mostly came from people who never watched the show. It is more like less silly and more casual Men-in-Black than anything. 

I've started watching The Fringe and I'm finding it much more like how I thought Torchwood would play out when announced.

It has that annoying feature typical of many (mostly) American shows of shoe-horning the series mission statement into every episode to hook in lazy buggers who missed previous episodes before they get confused and switch over.

It's gleefully silly (much like Torchwood) but it moves so fast that you don't want to see the cogs.

John Noble does a fine job at channeling Vincent Price.

I'm only on the first season right now but I'm finding it all rather fun.

I wish these shows could all be merged into one 'Weird Science' multiverse and Mulder and Bilis Manger, the characters from Tru Calling, The Event, Threshold, Doomwatch, Timeslip, Quatermass, Dollhouse etc could crossover into one narrative soup.

The eyepatch lady from Doctor Who and the robo-arm lady from here teamed up Summer Glau's character from Dollhouse would make one hell of a tag-team.

Sounds like your entertainment tastes would be better suited by comic books than TV shows... Just sayin'. I am personally kind of glad TV shows have gotten out of the habit of gratuitous cross-overs. That was a bit of a 90's marketing ploy which has thankfully gone out of style.

Watching Marble Hornets right now.

What a horribly made poorly acted piece of crap! Especially that douche bag who plays Tim! I am sure glad we don't have anyone in this community who played a major role in it, because that would bring this poor disreputable little clique down big time!

Oh wait...

;)

Actually, I am really enjoying it and am sorry it took me this long to get around to it. I attempted it several times since Nanner's first shameless plug, but always ended up getting interrupted. First two attempts, which were months apart, by freaky coincidence were interrupted by my internet, which never goes out, going out and preventing me from streaming them. The next time I tried to watch it, I was staying at someplace with really awful shared internet and couldn't stream them fast enough to be practical. Or maybe my internet issues every time I tried to watch the series wasn't a coincidence and something more sinister was at work...

I watched the first two episodes of 'Falling Skies'

I had mixed feelings while watching this. unfortunately most of them were bad.

During the two hours I went from feeling that it just wasn't my thing to being bored to being annoyed to actively hating it to being intrigued for about 30 seconds then to just giving up on the show altogether

The acting and relationships were very generic and the plot was predictable. It never felt like they were actually at war. There was never any emotion and when they tried to throw in an emotional scene it was just a big product placement. My palm was literally in my face.

At the beginning of the second episode there was a conversation about why the alien mechs were bipedal when they themselves had more than two legs. I found that interesting. Unfortunately they dropped it after 30 seconds and never mentioned it again.

The stupidity of a certain child character who blew their cover to save his dog (is that cliche yet?) made me so angry that I was hoping that the mechs would shoot him.

I didn't mean to get so negative on it. Uh, the CGI is pretty... Unfortunately theres not even enough action to be a show that you turn your brain off to watch.

I can't see this running for very long. Looks like another failed sci-fi series so far. I had high hopes for this after seeing the trailers all over the place. They just can't seem to get television sci-fi right lately.

2 out of 10 balls

Negative Nancy, Signing off.

I hear you. 

the pilot [2 eps] should have started at around the point it ended - with maybe a few flashbacks to set the scene.

Any time something interesting came up the story quickly turned back to the 'us and them' between the military and civilians - and even that didn't really go anywhere.

the overall idea could be good if they do something with it, so far they haven't really.

I have a feeling it will get better as they split from the main group on their quest and the main character might actually use his booksmarts against the aliens rather than just to bore people.

I am still up in the air on Falling Skies myself, not really sure if I like it or not yet, but has anyone watched the premier of Season 4 for True Blood? if so was it good?
