Okay, I feel like Breaking Bad is not a show to jump into the middle of.

Maybe, I think you could watch season 3 and be ok to start up season 4.

I hate to say it but Season 3 was starting to look like the shark was on the horizon and the Fonz was strapping his skis on. I hope season 4 isn't the equivalent of season 5 of the Wire.

According to his New York Times interview, the writer guy plans for season 5 to be quits. After all, Bryan Cranston does have to die at some point.

Zooey wins...hands down. Have you seen 500 Days of Summer? Love that movie.

Look, it's not like I'd kick either of them out of bed. Arguing about it beyond that seems pointless to me, they're both hot.

...and they eat crackers in bed???

Working through the Cosby Show. Doesn't get any better than that.

So Ted Danson on CSI... Worst casting ever, or the absolute worst casting ever? Even despite his performance on Damages, this don't work. This don't work one bit. He simply doesn't fit in the role of a crime scene investigator, much less the leader of CSI. Furthermore, I don't see him having an iota of chemistry with anyone in the entire cast... Save possibly Helgenberger.

I'm apparently one of the few that loved Fishburne on CSI. His stuff with Haskell was overdone and went on too long, but I love the guy as an actor. But regardless of that, Danson just doesnt and won't work. With the show, the role, or the cast. This was horrific casting.

Doesn't Fishburne Try to hide he was on Pee Wee Herman?

Ted Danson was brillant in "Little Danson Man"

Anyone see Bourdain's Cuba show? Lots of focus on Cuban baseball, including a segment on people who are licensed to publicly argue about baseball in an apporved gathering spot.

Anyone else pumped for the return of "Breaking Bad" on Sunday?

Hellz yes, but you're full of sheet about the shark-jumping.

Let's hope I'm wrong. T-minus three hours to Season 4.

The German dentist dude is Danny Kaye.

The late, great Danny Kaye. One of the best comedians, actors, musicians of all time.

Don't forget he was part owner of the Mariners for a while.

Does anyone watch The Office? I've never watched it (the US version that is, I have watched the original), but I know that Steve Carell is leaving. Did they ever announce who the replacement will be?

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #1745:** July 21, 2011, 06:23:32 PM »

James Spader is replacing him. The first episodes were rough because they were basically following the scripts from the British show, but the show came into its own and once the current expanded cast (gabe, andy, more darrel and kathy bates) came in it got very good

HalfSmokes use the spoilers tag, damnit.

Not... um... true. Just be aware that Kathy Bates already is "Harry," the star of NBC's Harry's Law, for which she received an Emmy nomination.

The identification of Michael's replacement apparently remains unknown, and a reason to get everyone to tune in.

watched Top Gear season 17, episode 4 on the flight home today - the boys try to see if they can build a cheap train out of cars.

Clarkson builds a "sports" train, while Richard and James build a train out of an Audi S8 and several caravans, they then race. You can grab the torrent over at finalgear.com
