Hell on Wheels. Followed by Hell on Wheels. Followed by--you guessed it--more Hell on Wheels. AMC ran all of the season 3 episodes in order last night, so I recorded the ones I haven't seen yet. Now all I need to do is get caught up on seasons 1 and 2. lol

You are going to really enjoy catching up on the backstory, character motivations and history when you do see season 1 and 2 as the show has down an excellent job building out story lines, developing characters and expanding on early themes.

I think it's a cute show. Those old couples dancing together is kinda sweet.

It is sweet. But some of those people can't dance at all! lol My dad's amused too by the fact that he played at the hall a while back. Somewhere in Ennis, Tx. I believe.

Sounds like a show I might enjoy every now and then. Doubtful that I will be able to find it, sadly.
:D

We have satellite & see it on RFD.

Saw the season finale of "Hell on Wheels." "The Swede" is one truly frightening character: a combination of evil, intelligence, long-term planing, adaptability and cruelty that sends chills up your spine. I also just saw the most recent episode of "Boardwalk Empire," which continues to get better and darker and - and this is surprising as in most period shows this slips over time - the respect for period details seems to be increasing both aesthetically (clothes, architecture and other set pieces) and in story plots and details.

Ha - meow!

I'd like to revisit that show, actually. I recently stumbled across an episode of Charmed on TV. Not one I watched, really, but it put me in mind as to whether and how all the shows I did watch in the 90s would still hold up. I suspect Buffy might be dubious - I'd certainly hate the last two series a lot more than I did back then. X-Files I loved for the first few series, when it was still in Monster-of-the-Week mode. Once it got too deep into the one-issue, alien conspiracy thing it lost quality, and they should never have even contemplated carrying it on beyond Mulder leaving. The first film was pretty risible, though I found the second much better. Where it really went wrong was when they stopped keeping it vague, and started to outright have actual aliens and whatever... the real genius of the early stuff was that as the viewer I wanted to believe Mulder's supernatural explanation, but Scully's rationalisation could not be dismissed. Once it lost the latter, it lost a lot of what really made it special.

I've spent the last year working my way through the M*A*S*H box xset, on and off. With Season 3 of The Walking Dead off now and the long wait for next Spring when the fourth series will hit free-to-air in the UK (I refuse to be suckered in to paying for subscription TV of any sort), I'm making rapid progress through that box again. As of last night, I'm well into season eleven... Soon be looking for something else. I have considered Game of Thrones, though I'd rather wait until I can get a good deal on a complete box set than buy them as they come out. I might go looking into Mad Men - they seem to be available cheap enough these days.
