I agree, i feel like I could/coulda. (still like to think im sorta there) just punish those ppl.

CBS has a new reality show called Same Name that debuts next week. It basically meets up celebrities with a very recognizable name with someone in real life who has the very same name, and after they meet, they switch roles.....Hasselhoff, Mike Tyson, Kathy Griffin, and Reggie Bush are among those in this debut season. Looks pretty interesting.

i forget what i was watching last night, but there was a clip of a new show debuting in a couple of weeks, where 2 people are given a briefcase containing $100,000. if they can hide the briefcase successfully from the cops and detectives for like 2 days or something, then they get to keep it. thats all i caught of it, but it sounds pretty good.

Sounds interesting... I imagine it stems from people always thinking they could outwit the cops if they ever did commit a crime. I wonder if they'll actually choose intelligent people or intentionally choose the lowest of the low to see how dumb they are.

Were there limitations on where they can hide it? Like is it required to be hidden someone on their property or something? If not, damn, let me on that show. They could have a whole year, they'd never find that briefcase.

I'm gonna guess lowest of the low, like every other "game" show in history. Just look at that Wipeout show. Some of those people seriously make me :fp:.

That's an interesting turn, I'm pumped to watch the 2nd half of this episode

I only watch the show because of the nurse LOL the show is as dumb a premise as the rest of tv.
Whats with all these stupid shows? whats with all this fantasy crap in melodrama form? Young looking Vampires and werewolves living like a frat house and youre suppose to care for their poor lives LOL .

what ever the name of that zombie crap is? formula = shoot-run - argue-shoot-run-argue--look at another extra in bad make up - run- shoot- argue.. :D

and all these stupid, politically correct, cop and investigation shows where theres absolutely no violence and the heavy just gives in at the end :D

and now they want to re-do planet of the apes just because they can make mass amounts of them on a computer screen without having a guy in a suit/make up :D
that was dumb too but it was the 70s :D

YOU DAMN DIRTY APE

Its a tv show = its fake anyway, and they are getting paid to be on the show in the first place.

here's the abc link:

Mad Men just added to Netflix Instant Stream, been wanting to check out this show.

oops

So, nothing about last night's episode of Falling Skies?

Spoiler: show

I'm very interested to see where this is going now. The new alien threat is definitely interesting and finding out that the skitters are actually the kids is VERY interesting. Sad that next week's episode is the season finale, but it's a two hour finale at least so, hopefully, they really get some interesting stuff happening.

Will be interesting to see if the news of the skitters possibly being people's children will lead to some major character issues (like the doctor killing that skitter in cold blood) and whether or not it will change the whole idea of bringing the fight to them like they plan to do.

I do find it kinda silly that no one had decided to completely dissect the skitters yet. You would think the first thing that someone with at least rudimentary knowledge of biology would be incredibly eager to dissect them and figure out as much as possible about them.

Spoiler: show

ok that was interesting. G and I were talking last week about some sort if mutation but didn't foresee them actually being skitters.

I don't see and issues with killing them as they are turned and people already don't like Ben and that other kid.

I take it the other kid is going to run back and spill the plan to fight them.

Spoiler: show

Most definitely. The kid is basically not human anymore anyway. He's constantly referring to everyone else as humans and such.

Yeah, I definitely didn't expect the skitters being humans mutated. It's interesting that Ben isn't being affected like the black kid is (thinking he's part of the skitter collective instead of loose from them and such).

This new alien looks familiar (like I've seen them from something else), but I can't quite put my finger on it.

I'm glad that there have been answers to some of my questions so far with the show:

Why are they harnessing the kids? Because they actually become the ground forces for the aliens.
Why were the harnessed kids gathering scrap metal? Material to build the aliens' home base.


Of course, there are plenty of questions still left, but, that's what makes the show intriguing, the unanswered questions.

Spoiler: show

The only thing that I don't understand about the skitters used to be kids, from all accounts it seems like skitters were always around from the beginning of the attacks. Where did the original Skitters come from? The process takes awhile to happen, look at Ben and the other kid. I'm assuming the attacks started happening about 10 months ago(based on the pregnant women who said she got pregnant right before the attacks). The doctor just said that Ben was harnessed for months, we once again where did the original skitters come from?

Tons of questions to be answered, why are they building these structures if like the old lady says they want to eliminate all the people anyway?

I do agree with G though in the fact that they run through story lines too quickly, the trading kids thing should have been longer than one episode. What happened to all those people, what did the aliens say when they came back and there were no more kids to trade?

Also glad they brought back the blond girl that got captured, was wondering if they ever were.

So, this show isn't too bad.

Spoiler: show

I don't know if it's going to take place in San Francisco every episode, but regardless, they get an hour to hide the briefcase anywhere they want. Then the detectives have 48 hours, using GPS, cell phone records, call logs, etc, to figure out the routes they took, find out who they contacted, and then try and figure out where they hid the briefcase at. Currently, at 9:46pm ET, less than 20 hours remain and they haven't found it yet.

Take the Money & Run comment...

Spoiler: show

Oh for fuck's sake. :fp:

They just lost out on $100,000 because the one stupid ass brother couldn't take being locked up in a windowless, empty jail cell for 48 hours. He just told the interrogators practically exactly where the damn thing was. :fp: The detectives found it with just hours left to go.

If I was his brother, I'd slap the shit out of him when we both got released from jail.

Good of the "detectives" to use the idiot's fears against him.

Spoiler: show

Well, the interrogators they have to grill and hammer the people, are pretty good.

Quote:

The recurring cast includes the interrogators: Paul Bishop and Mary Hanlon Stone.

Bishop is a writer and LAPD detective. He has published many books and written many episodes for television. He is currently the supervisor of a sex crimes unit. Stone is a deputy district attorney with the office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney.

---

So people trying to lie and throw them off the trail are going to have a hard time with those two across the table.

And doing some research, the locations do change from episode to episode. This first one was in San Francisco, the next one is I have no clue where.

As for tonight's episode, I knew it was going to be the fat ass who would break down and give in. :fp: As I saw him start to go more and more mental the longer he sat in that jail cell, and the more Bishop and Stone were grilling his ass, I couldn't stop thinking of Fat Ass from The Shawshank Redemption.

Sorry about that man. :( :( :( I was thinking you would be watching it at the same time I was. I just went back and edited in spoilers to all my posts to keep others from seeing what happened if they haven't watched yet.

Damn you! :D I thought you were serious. Well, I still leave the spoilers in, as well put in spoilers for future episodes, along the lines of the Falling Skies commentary, to keep from ruining anything for those who have it DVR'd.

I think Rescue Me has run its course, but I still think this last season will be a doozy.

burying the briefcase was too damn obvious

Agreed. Though they did have the detectives thrown off for most of the time. It wasn't until the one brother talked that they knew they had the right location.

Yeah, I almost forgot it was even on tonight. It's really pretty decent. How good it can be depends on whether they get decent people to be on the show or end up having a bunch of the top 1% of idiots in the US on the show. If they get good people, who will actually think things through on what they do during their hour, where they hide the briefcase, what steps they take to try and throw the detectives and interrogators off their trail (phone calls, stops made, etc), it could be a really good show.

New show American Horror Story starting up on FX in October, wonder what this will be about.

Interesting version of Tainted Love playing in that second one.

So Ryan Murphy is doing it, that's cool. From everything that people say Glee is a really good show.
