What are you watching on the television?

The Great British Bake-Off (hyphen may not be necessary) is back and as comforting as ever. We continue through House Of Cards - I thought it might drift off in Season 3, but not a bit of it!

As someone who has ruined oven chips, I don't know why I love watching the GBBO so much; I haven't retained any knowledge of actually making a cake at all. I guess I just like cake.

We all just like cake!

On-topic... having finished House Of Cards last night, we made a start on The Killing US. It's almost a shot-for-shot remake of the first episode of the original, up to and including many of the same music cues. We've decided against carrying on.

Finished watching the seventh series of Parks and Recreation the other night. The first series is patchy but from the second onwards it's brilliant, and now I don't know what to do with myself. Started watching Girls, but tonally it's a pretty big shift in humour!

Video Game Nation on Challenge. Love it!

Finally watched the last episode of channel 4's Humans last night. Despite the odd moment of cringeworthy dialogue and ham fisted family drama, the main story was really going and the atmosphere was brilliantly tense and creepy in places. Recommend!

I keep catching the very end of this. Need to record one so I can give it a proper try.

It's on Demand now

That's Still Game coming to Netflix tomorrow, and you've all to get it watched.

Caught the first episode of Channel 4's Hunted tonight - pretty good stuff thus far. It's somewhat terrifying knowing how easy it is to track your location if you try and go off the grid. Doesn't help matters when that one stupid lass phoned up her mum when she's well aware the phoneline's being tracked. Worth watching though, I'd say.

I've been watching Community again. Have you watched Community? Why haven't you watched Community? Seriously get on it, it's on Netflix and it is the best TV show ever made. Seriously. Do it. Now. Don't go to work. Watch it now.

It's on UK Netflix so....

I meant to watch hunted but forgot. Will have to find a repeat.

I have watched Community, however! Top stuff, at least until everyone starts disappearing.

I think it's still brilliant after the losses in cast, especially as Chang and the Dean get more exposure (as they deserve). I think Troy was the biggest loss though, that guy can make me laugh.

I loved the first three series of Community, but the latter three were hit or miss for me. Changes in writing staff, cast, moving to Yahoo... a lot of contributing factors to a decrease in quality.

I like Community (still a few seasons to see) and it's good but you can't go saying stuff like that without being called on it. If you have Netflix then you have access to Arrested Development and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That's two shows better than Community right off the bat.

I hated both of those. Arrested Development I watched quite a few eps of and thought it wasn't funny at all, Always Sunny I didn't make it through the first ep, I do mean to give that another go at some point though.

I don't think we can be friends.

AD is a comedy masterpiece for the first 3 seasons. S4 is a little weaker but still has it's moments,

You need to give Sunny another chance, half an episode isn't enough. Besides Danny Devito doesnt even show up until season 2.

I'm giving Sunny another go this morning, it's alright, certainly nothing special so far though.

I really didn't get Arrested Development at all though. I've heard there's loads of background jokes and stuff and I can't pay enough attention to tv to get on with that sort of thing. I'm mostly watching whilst replaying something so I just won't see it

You've made a huge mistake

Cracking taste in comedy, DL. Arrested Development is my favourite sitcom.

Guys, I've just started watching Rick and Morty on FX (or is it now just called Fox?). It's the first "super-hyped hilarity suggestion", that hasn't been disappointing so far, in a very long time.

There was a 30th anniversary Mario special of this, this week. A nice review of Super Mario Maker in there too.

Gogglebox has returned and I found it really very funny indeed. There's half an eye being kept on The X Factor, too - Grimmy always has the same grin on and the show's tricks are somewhat obvious now. Jo thinks it'll be the last series.

Watched an episode of Still Game. Funny stuff, will go back for more!
Started Attack on Titan. OMEGA FORCE are making the new game so I'm suddenly interested.

Cracking taste on both fronts Drunka. Still Game is required viewing for anyone who likes to laugh, and Attack on Titan is a superb anime. Let us know how you get on with both.

I ought to get into SG - found the bits I've seen so far very funny indeed.

AoT, meanwhile, has its own thread somewhere. I'll dig it out myself when the new story appears - Drunka, feel free to give us your thoughts in there!
