Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People TV)
 

Big Shots: So blatantly Desperate Housewives but with dudes. I want to hate it, but it's well done. I don't know if I'd try and watch it again, but I'd suggest checking it out and seeing if it's your style.

Dirty Sexy Money: Killer cast, should be better than it is. Has a weird feeling of Arrested Development taking itself seriously. Lots of hot chicks. Will watch/tape again, but I can see this bombing quickly. It's kinda teetering on the edge of suck and awesome.

Other TV stuff.

Stupid Vampire Show on CBS: Caught like the last 60% of it. Eats balls. Utterly shocked if it lasts more than 3 eps, but it's CBS and I never understand what the geezers that watch that network dig.

As noted elsewhere, Big Bang Theory is horrible.

Agreed on dirty sexy money. I think I came in w/ expectations too high, but the writing seems pretty bad.

You have a VCR and tape shows? Please confirm or deny.

My uncle has a vcr, I was pretty awed by it.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I'm trying to picture Arrested Development taking itself seriously, and I'm utterly failing. Is that even possible?

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Bionic Woman rules hard, it was created by the Battlestar Galactica guys, Katie Sackoff lends serious presence and I'm pretty sure the girl playing Jamie Sommers is British. Yet there is not one single thread about it.

What it do?

While moving today I found out I have two VCRs (one being Super VHS 'cause I was balla 10 years ago).

My options were, obviously, throw them away or keep them. I decided to keep them, (because I soon discovered that I have a plethora of VHS tapes [some might be porn], although I haven't touched them in eight years [the wife says I have a hard time getting rid of stuff, but I say "If I still vaguely remember how much I paid for it, and it still has some use [coaster, hot plate, whatever], I'm keeping it).

Moving sucks, 'cause I have so much worthless stuff to move.

Dids, must hear your thoughts on Gossip Girl...

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Big Shots has potential. DSM should be so much better...

Big Shots was terrible, and I want to really like it for Josh Malina.

Dirty Sexy Money was okay, I'll watch it again.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I thought Dirty Sexy Money was really good and has the potential to be outstanding.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I've watched one ep of Gossip Girl.

It's not good, but appeals to the part of me that likes stupid teen dramas. A lot of really terrible cliches. Basically nothing about the show is a new idea.

I have no idea on Bionic Women, but I'm contractually obligated to point out that BSG is a piece of [censored] show that thought it was smart yet hinged on the characters being total dumbasses to work. I decided not to waste my time with Bionic Woman because of this.

And [censored] no I do not have a VCR I ball to hard for that. I just tend to use "tape" as a verb.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

BSG was indeed terrible.

DSM is about an out of control rich family and the lawyer who tries to control them. Even in the casting it's slightly similar to AD. It kinds ends there, but if you just heard both shows described, they'd seem similar.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I want Dirty Sexy Money to fail because it has one of the worst names ever.

Yeti, are you on drugs this weekend?

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T

?? You sure you're not tripping out?

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

i keep rereading what i've written and what you've written. i have no idea what you are getting at. i am super tired so please tell me.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Well, seeing that you're 22 that means that you were born in 1985. So saying that somebody who is born in 1986 makes you feel super old is interesting. Plus the fact that I was born in 1971 makes me kind of want to scream when I see this. But I'm super tired as well so I could have completely misinterpreted everything, which I have been known to do on occasion.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

yeah you interpreted fine. most of the people i hang out with are mid to late twenties, so in the past whenever someone asked when i was born and i replied 1985 i always felt super young and great.

then when i'm watching tv and i see someone playing sport for their country and realise they were born in 1990 i no longer feel young, and actually feel like im wasting my life. 1986 was a bit of an exaggerration, but it still triggers something.

and yes, i can definitely imagine this will put the elder members on life tilt. sorry!

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

No worries, bro. Hey, we hijacked a Dids thread! Super cool!

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Big shots was at times lame, but still quite watchable. I like titus and mcdermot.

Also, I got two free buckets of golf balls at Chelsea Piers (nyc) courtesy Big Shots.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Still haven't decided what i think of DSM yet. While i know the first EP is kind of a meeting everyone and see one stupid thing they do episode i really think there was just too just too much retarded [censored] going on to be plausible. Hopefully each episode won't involve each family member doing something retarded. Also lol at how much they focused on his wifes breasts early on.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Oh and as far as gossip girls goes the biggest problem is that serena looks 35. I was really surprised when i looked her up and she's actually like 20.

seriously, she looks almost as old as the chick playing her mother, who's like 39 or something.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Dids,
Thanks for making these threads. I'm hoping that I won't need to waste my time watching new shows and that OOT will weed out the crap for me.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Pudge,

the only two shows you should probably be watching are "reaper" and "chuck"

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

JoA,

WTF is Reaper?

Just looked it up.

I feel theres no way this can be good. Kevin Smith and episodic TV makes me want to violence.

Pudge,

Plz wait for me to rule on Chuck. Right now of new shows, I think Life might be better. Also it's up against How I Met Your Mother, which has full my full endorsement.

give it a shot, it's pretty hard not to like it.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I feel like you've liked something in the past that's made me not trust you, any idea what that could be?

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I dunno? if it's any help it's got the highest score of new shows on metacritic.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

I'm sure that people who enjoy Kevin Smith like it. I think Smith has lost his fastball big time, and that his stuff on religion is REALLY hamfisted and simple. I guess I'll try and check it out, but if it sucks I'm going to have somebody poop on your bed.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Looks like I get owned on Reaper because I'm Canadian.
I will give Chuck a shot.

Re: Big Shots and Dirty Sexy Money (yay or boo for Rich White People T
 

Pudge,

As long as you're taking my advice.

Don't be Canadian.

I went to a Christopher Titus stand-up show, and he basically admitted that "Big Shots" was this, using the exact words.

Yeti, you suck. 1985 is MY benchmark for making me feel old, because it's the year Back To The Future came out and it's the first movie I remember going to see. At a drive-in, no less.
