Deadwood this week.

I never heard of the dude till this show.  He is a perfect cast for this role.  He has been awesome all year.

Ian McShane aka Al Swearengen: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0574534/

- Hes British
- His dad was on Man U
- He's 62

Not a real well known actor over here, but he's fantastic in the role. I doubt he'll win, but he should get a nomination.

- He's 62

 Had no idea he was that old.

[MURP]

damn i had no idea he was that old either!   hope he gets some US movie roles soon before dies.  

[Zanshin]

lol...he's good...but that's a pretty good gig for a 62-year-old:  Yell "corksucker" over and over while being surrounded by naked whores.

im sure a decent % of the US population does that right now.

Yea thats what I figured. I've never seen it but have heard very good things about it. I wonder if it jumped the shark as fast as Friends did.

The writing was brilliant, and the cast was good.  Then it came to NBC and the cast killed it.  It was just embarrasing and probably hurt the british one in terms of gaining more viewers.  

I don't even know if it is still going, new shows or not?  Do you know coach?

The answer to my question:

MDS watch that clip of an upcoming show this fall, it is kind of lame but shows you how different the show is.  Basically the guy who is getting executed is a guy who is actually having a nightmare, and the reason he is having a nightmare is because his girlfriend (the blond) is pregnant, so he thinks his life is over.

The Wisdom of Jeff: "I mean, where exactly do you take your socks off? My advice is to take them off right after your shoes, and before your trousers. That's the sock gap. Miss it, and suddenly you're a naked man in socks. No self-respecting woman will ever let a naked man in socks do the squelchy with her."

That line isn't funny, but the way he presents things like this is classic.
This guy is the "Joey from Friends" of the show, but actually funny.

Not bad stuff, NB. I used to watch Friends, but when Monica and Chandler got married or engaged or whatever--that was it. They had nothing left and the show was done.

I've seen some parts of it on WHYY at 1130 on friday nights or whenever its on. I also wanna check out The Office, which got all sorts of emmy nominations, but I dont know how many people have seen it.

i am saddened and ashamed that a "Friends" reference could make it onto this totally awesome Deadwood thread.

I never watched the Office either, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Coupling has this one episode called "Split" where they have a split screen, with the 3 guys on the left, and the 3 girls on the right and they keep both screens up to the last second.  Basically one of the guys and one of the girls had been dating, got in a fight and broke up and it pokes fun of how differently guys and girls handle those situations.  Of course the guys go to a strip club and get hammered, and the girls go get pampered at a local health spa.  It's funny and ends up with the guy passed out, while the girl comes in and starts to give him a BJ, not knowing the other 2 friends are in the room.

Just some crazy stuff, funny stuff.  I'll stop now.

  They don't show that kind of thing on broadcast TV, but of course not HBO---we can all remember Al's now infamous rant when he's getting a BJ from the whore who replaced Trixie because she farged Sol and didnt charge him.....

You forgot the best part, where she mentions that the one womna's voice makes her grind her teeth. During the beej that woman calls and the answering machine picks it up.

[mussa]
