Jason Lee? No....you asshat. You just ruined a good show for me. I quite liked him too, thought he was a very good actor. Now he's just a t*at.

Regardless of his belief's, he's a funny guy. Off course it crossed my mind, same as when watching King of Queens and getting those funny feelings towards Kerry, then realising she's as mad as a box of Sligo fans (love Sligo fans, had great craic with a bunch last year in Dublin). I used to have something for Zhanna Friske, then last year found out - well, saw her in fact coming out of planet hq in Taganka - she was one of them too, just killed the passion.

Yip. It's amazing what it does to ya. Unsurprisingly I've let Travolta off for Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty.

I don't think I'll ever forgive Travolta unfortunately.

It's also the reason I hate Tom Cruise so much. That, and him being a short t*at.

I loved them movies before I knew what it was.

Watching season 3 at the minute and they've had to make a trip to Ireland. They've already got in a scrap with the PSNI, and are currently running amok in Donegal.

Started watching this recently too. Watched the episodes in Ireland the other day. The Irish accents! Worst. Accents. Ever. It's entertaining enough stuff and quite addictive but it's no Sopranos/The Wire/Breaking Bad.

Finally got round to watching season 3 Deadwood, excellent show although it wouldn't be in my top 5 possibly not even top 10 Tv Shows. Am I correct in saying it got cancelled after Season 3?

I'm midway through the third season. I really enjoyed it after the second or third episode of Season 1, once the pace started to pick up but I find that it's dragging along now with no sign of any end in sight. Some of the characters seem to have no potential to develop any further. Ian McShane was superb! As far from Lovejoy as it's possible to get!

Pretty accurate. The more I think about it the further down the list it goes. Found myself watching it just to get it finished with from midway though season 2. Thought Ian McShane was excellent and Timothy Olyphant too. If you like his character you should check out "Justified" where he plays a very similar character except in modern times, it far better IMO and also has Boyd Crowder excellently played by Walton Goggins(who you will know as Shane Vendrell if you have watched "The Shield)

Watched the first 2 episodes of Archer season 4 last night. The first episode is a crossover with Bob's Burgers (in which Archer's voice artist, H Jon Benjamin, plays Bob). I had initially feared when I first heard about the crossover episode but it didn't disappoint.
Second episode was weaker, though not bad at all.

Season 3 is one of the greatest and without doubt, funniest things I've ever seen. The missions in space episodes are laugh-a-minute and well worth checking out.

There's too many private jokes built up now over the first seasons that you wouldn't really appreciate it if you were to jump in (Think Arrested Development).

Sploosh!

Do stick with it. The ending to Season 3 is a humdinger. I've just finished Season 4 and it's also amazing. The only reaction is "Wow".

**patrickccfc** · 31/01/2013, 9:03 PM

Halfway through season 4 at the moment.. yeah do stick with it macy its well worth it

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/01/2013, 9:15 PM

Stuck waiting on the return of season 5. Season 4 is absolutely outstanding.

No idea, I watched it online in time with America.

**Longfordian** · 01/02/2013, 5:39 PM

I ploughed through it all in about two weeks with Netflix. Can't wait for the second half of season 5.

I started Arrested Development for the 4th time this weekend. It's sublime. Truly sublime. Never seen a better show.

Also Season 4 of Archer started as well... It's pretty good so far.

One of the funiest show of the last 10 years, a lot of the stuff in shows like 30 rock and Modern Family are from it. Must see if I can download it again Tobais & Gob are the best

It's shocking to think it debuted 10 years ago.

The Netflix episodes won't come quick enough.
