[Greater Gattsby]

Original wiggles were da bomb.

So was another popular Australian icon who is now in jail in England...

Uh...

In other news, I've purchased (yes, purchased, not borrowed from the library) The Great Gattsby.

It'll be good to read such a piece of fiction outside of an educational context; without having to think too hard about stylistic features, etc.

Who hasn't jumped on that bandwagon by 2014

Me neither, Ando. We could watch it together if you'd like.

I purchased the first season of GoT but haven't watched it. Doubt I ever will TBH.

I knew this board was ****ing weird

I smashed out all of Game of Thrones in about two weeks. Coincidentally, my uni marks started going downhill at the same time.

I've started watching Boardwalk Empire, which is pretty quality. Especially with Steve Buscemi.

 

[lmach]

Nah really The Wire is the best TV show ever made bar none.

Bar Seinfeld.

That's how I like to watch shows. Wait till it ends then smash it.

I'm usually like that unless I REALLY want to watch it. Then I join the group of week by week waiting.

Completely different shows. Man I love Seinfeld but is it anywhere near The Wire? Definitely not.

No, it's far better.

 

[Dylan8]

Literally nowhere near it

No thanks, I think I will leave it to you

I've never seen The Wire so it must be shit.

I'm always really slow on TV shows. I only caught up to Breaking Bad the week of the last episode. So I'm sure that watching the next season of GoT week by week will probably break me, because I'm used to being able to watch it in 6 hour blocks.

The only big US show I've watched "as it happened" in the last few years is Orange Is The New Black, but that's Netflix so a whole season is released at a time anyway.

Stress the word were in my post. They should have just given up after the yellow wiggle left.

Seinfield> Anything else. Though TBBT is a close second.
I've never really got into Game of thrones, is it really that good?

 

[lmach]

I've actually never watched any of these shows that everyone goes on about (except Seinfeld) because I'd rather do something else. Sitting inside watching TV just depresses me.

for ****s sake


anyone who thinks TBBT isn't complete, utter shite has not watched more than four television series

Depends on your taste in comedy

I can see your point there. They do dribble alot of crap on it. But usually it's not as bad as you say.

No it really doesn't. Anyone with half a brain and appreciation for decent writing can see its just boring, wack catchphrases and LOL SO NERDY stereotypical shit.

What I meant was, some people get a kick out of repeating the same joke. For what its worth, I used to rather like the show, but that died a firey death when my brother began to watch it every night. I can't stand the theme song anymore, Makes me whince. The show itself is okay, but I don't care much for it anymore.

Hahah I'm the exact same, only shows I watch are Simpsons / Seinfeld / Inbetweeners

Never been into the cult TV shows and binge watching, I just don't really have the attention span to watch more than an episode at a time

 

[Matele]

Does anyone watch Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia?
