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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
