Thought it was time to revisit "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" . When 'The Pacific' came out a couple of years ago I decided to watch an episode of each series alternatively .

That way you get to experience both the main areas of conflict of WW2 . Worked well too . Two really great series' and well worth a look or indeed a 2nd look . Even better in high definition if you can manage it .

Cheers

    The best shows are all on the ABC:

    Wide Open Road

    The Slap

    No.1 Ladies Detective Agency

    Crownies

    I don't like the modern dramas or sitcoms.

    I prefer Mash or Cheers & Becker. Stuff like that.

    Also the news & our planet type doco's.

    I've been watching a few doco's of late. Some interesting viewing.

    The first was on ABC, The Last of the Independents. It's about a third generation hardware store, Faram Bros., in Port Melbourne. It follows their last few months before closing.

    King of Kong was last weeks Sunday Best. It's about Billy Mitchell's long standing Donkey Kong record and Steve Weibe's attempts to beat it. I was a bit skeptical that it would be any good, but it was riveting stuff. It was edited to be a good vs evil showdown, and I found myself willing Weibe to success.

    I was put onto a series about Doomsday Preppers, people preparing for the worst. I hope it never comes to this but who knows?

    Two good series are Touch (only 2 episodes so far) and Awake.

    Another good doco last week on Sunday Best. American Movie follows a, for want of a better word, eccentric amateur movie maker.

    The two main characters are larger than life, at times I wondered if it was truly a doco and not some cleverly scripted movie. They also reminded me of Jay & Silent Bob to some degree.

    Worth a watch.

    This newest season of Breaking Bad is the bomb, yo!

    Seriously good viewing, the latest episode was intense.

    The character development in the show is incredible, unless they f... up the ending, it'll go down as my all time favourite show.

    There's a break after next weeks episode... boooooooooooooooooo

    I've built an xbmc PC with all my TV shows and movies to watch. Just need time to actually watch them...

    At first i hated Modern Family, but just recently i've watched through all episodes and it is hilarious!

    Also have Game of Thrones, Homeland, Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, and Breaking Bad ready to get stuck into.

    Community is another great comedy. Also have Family Guy and Seinfeld just for those times when you need to sit down for a quick laugh

    The UK production of 'Inside Men' is a very good, fast paced thriller . 4 parts in series 1 (2012) .

    Series 2 to be aired next year .

    FYI I heard a rumour the Stones may be doing their last shows EVER in NYC in December 12-15

    Tickets to "The Tongue Pit" are around 2 grand (capitalist bastards)

    Rumour is Charlie has had enough.

    Bill Wyman ,Ian Stewart ,and others from the past to join them.

    It will be on Pay per view over here but I know you are a massive fan of TGRRBITW.

    You may want to bring the trip forward.

    I paid my respects to the Stones in '95 at the 'G & 2003 at Rod Laver...

    That said if Mick Taylor & Bill Wyman get up to play it could be gold.

    Ian Stewart died in '85 so i doubt he will be tinkering the ivories....But you never know it is the Stones.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
