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

 

Breaking's ... bad?

Yes, because.... Oh, ohhh I see what you did there!

Didn't realize Season 5 was out yet.....SWEET.....

Thankyou

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.

Treme is another series to watch and enjoy.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
