Alright so with all of the good shows having aired their season finale and in some cases series finale do you guys watch anything interesting during the summer months or do you take a break until fall.

I was looking forward to season 2/final season of Vice Principals on HBO but looks like that has been pushed back to sometime this fall.

I'll be checking out a new series called Snowfall that was suppose to air on Showtime but now appears to be airing on FX. It's about the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the beginning of the 1980's. No idea how it's going to be because if I'm not mistaking FX doesn't allow any swearing on that channel and a story about crack cocaine without any foul language just wouldn't be believable in my opinion. That series premieres on July 5th.

The only other show I'm looking forward to is Ballers in HBO that going into it's 3rd seasona. That premieres on July 23rd.

Other than that it's mostly movies and gaming on the PS4.

What about you guys?

I wouldn't pay attention either lol. You must be married. No single man in their right mind would sit there and watch that by himself.

Is it one of those things where you watch one of her shows and she needs to watch MX/SX? If so it's a good compromise. You watch an hour show and she needs to watch 3-4 hours of moto.

Man am I glad I don't have to sit through shitty TV shows like that. Women TV sucks lol.

I saw live PD on the TV guide. I never watched it and sometimes they'll air old episodes so technically it's not live. Is it like COPS or something totally different. I was flicking through the channels once and they were just patrolling and riding around so I decided nope not for me.

Maverick, I'm with you. My wife watches about 15 TV shows, all of which are based on the following:

-Psycho bitch wives who live off their husband's money in [insert town here].
-People who buy houses that should be condemned, fix them, and sell them for way too much money.
-People who got married to someone they don't know. Just for fun.
-People who got pregnant when they were 16.
-Psycho bitch wives who got married to someone they don't know, buy houses with their husband's money that should be condemned, and then sell them for way too much money.

All the above are rife with whining, crying, fighting and the like. Why do you want to watch that????

Lol Real Housewives of (insert city). I don't get it but there's definitely a market for it because it seems like each year they expand to new cities. I know this because there's non stop commercials about them. Bitches fighting with one another, two face women, etc. Come to think of it I think women watch that crap because they're all the same.

I hope you're not stuck watching those with the wife like dsmith above is. If you are movie nights would always have to be my pick. Action movies, mob movies, war movies, anything you know you'll like and she'll hate and the longer the better too.

The one where they get pregnant at 16 I guess makes sense if you had a similar experience other than that WGAF about it. Not your kid not your problem lol.

So Falcon do you get to watch anything at all that you like or you're stuck on the couch watching the shows noted above in your post? I don't know how your wife is with electronics but you might want to unplug a cable and say oh looks like the TV is not working, wait until she gets busy doing something else or leave then plug it back in and watch your shows. Women and electronics normally don't work well together so it might just work.

That's disappointing to hear after I just got done with the final season of Bloodline (which was disappointing). Still, I'll take a mediocre season of House of Cards over a lot of other shows that are on TV right now.

Yea, for sure that one this summer. "Fear the Walking Dead" started up again but it felt played out already. "Better Call Saul" has been good.

"Gomorrah" is wrapping up the 2nd season. I like that show. "Leftovers" ended just after I read about it on here and binged watched two seasons to get caught up.

I guess I'll check out "House of Cards" and the show about crack. It sucks that "Black Sails" and "Hell On Wheels" both ended plus "The Red Road" was cancelled.

House of Cards is good, I'm halfway thru the last season now. Black Sails I thought was pretty good as well, it seemed like they couldn't stay on track on the writing (which story to continue to tell).

BTW I was flying through DFW earlier in the week and was looking for space in the lounge for my wife and daughter, low and behold Geno Segers from the show Banshee (Chayton Littlestone) offered up his chair for us. That dude is enormous and his voice in real life is just as fucking deep.

Good shows? There's still good shows on tv? No, I think you're having flashbacks.

It is sad that network sitcoms are going away. The list of great ones is very long.

I didn't even make it through the first season of Fear the Walking Dead. It's really not a good show, at all.

Hell on Wheels is still one of my favorite shows ever. It had some issues, sure, but it was a damn good show overall.

I plan on starting Black Sails soon, really looking forward to it.
