do you order pizza?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

It’s funny that you asked. I’m sitting at the pizza place right now waiting for the pizza I just ordered.

You gotta tell me!

Mild sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms and olives

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77984) 5 years ago

Perfecto!
And now I'm jealous

[–] Taya9822 (236) 5 years ago

Take off the mushrooms and I'm in. :)

[–] Taya9822 (236) 5 years ago

Oh I think that would make you a TV junkie if you enjoy sitting down and watching a series on TV that makes you a junkie :)

[–] 10200 (656) 5 years ago

No, not at all. I watch football and if it weren't for my husband having TV on all of the time, I probably wouldn't even know what shows are on. But there have been some great shows I've watched because he had them on.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77984) 5 years ago

Some great shows on your list

I gave up on True Blood as soon as the Fairies appeared...Vampires, Werewolves and a Shapeshifter I could put up with but somehow the Fairies sent me packing

The Sopranos had a thousand great scenes but Meadow, AJ and Carmela really bored me to death, they damn near ruined the show

Game of Thrones is a favorite but they sure did rush the ending and ignore geography:/

I'd add the first few seasons of Dexter
It was a fine show until Dexter's hot cop sister discovered he was a maniac...I bailed out shortly after

[–] Taya9822 (236) 5 years ago

Yeah the finale of True Blood wasn't good. I was like what that's how they end the show!?
Yeah they did rush GOT but I did like it but I can't believe Jon did that to Dani but what's done is done I suppose.
The Sopranos was great but yeah the daughter got on my nerves. And the whole thing about how Tony can f--- every woman in Jersey but the wife even thinks about having sex, she feels guilty about it and doesn't go through with it, give me a break but I did enjoy the gangster part of the show.
Oh it's probably best you didn't see the finale of Dexter because the way hey ended it, you would have been pissed I know I was.

The only thing I watch on TV now is sports. Otherwise I binge TV shows. I am watching this Japanese crime series called Giri/Haji on Netflix.

True Detective S1 should become an enduring classic, I know I'll happily rewatch it in 20 years

S2 was damn good too I thought
What did you think of it?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

S2e1, was epic! When the wife caught BTK jerking off in the bathroom, holy shit, that was scary and bizarre.

[–] MrRipEager (94) 5 years ago

The 2nd season was OK, I much more preferred the 1st season though, I just felt that the detective characters had a better chemistry in the first one, and Rust Cohle's character just seemed to have a philosophy and world view that you don't tend to see in many other series.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No, I'm not, however I am a huge Shameless fan. Go Gallagher's!
