I know there are a number of Red Green fans here on the forum (for those who haven't seen it, it's like a slightly-zanier version of Home Improvement - or a cross between Hee-Haw and Home Improvement). It's produced in Ontario and often appears on PBS stations here in the States.

Last night whilst scanning the TV airwaves I came upon a retrospective of the show - in addition to showing some of the classic sketches, the actors reminisced about their time on the program. Most of them were quickly identifiable even though they've aged somewhat. An exception was Patrick McKenna, who played Harold. Imagine an older, relaxed, almost dignified guy instead of the hyper, nerdy Harold.

At any rate, it was fun getting some background info on some of the things that happened during the show's run (like Harold's leaving to film another TV show; his absence was explained by his taking a job in the big city). They also included reruns of some sketches (like Red's "talking to all the middle-aged guys out there") from both the first and last episodes of the show.

Avatar, Book 3, "The Beach"

it was an ok episode, but one thing I loved: Zuko. He's my favorite character!!

He has me going crazy

EDIT:

I miss That's so Raven They were one of the reasons why Disney was sooooo amazing! Too bad it's not already running anymore.

Just thought I'd mention for anyone who watches, Covert Affairs has been picked up for a second season

Avatar, Book 3, "The Beach"

it was an ok episode, but one thing I loved: Zuko. He's my favorite character!!

My on-again/off-again rewatch of Avatar: The Last Airbender from beginning to end (prompted by the release of the movie) brought me to the first half-dozen episodes of season 3 today. I enjoy them on the whole, but they certainly vary (in my mind) in quality and how they advance the plot and character development.

"The Beach" has its moments, but my reaction is that it's one of the weaker episodes of the season. Simply. Too. Much. Angst.

It doesn't help that it's bookended by 2 of the best stand-alone episodes of the season: "Sokka's Master" (which gives some much-needed character development beyond being the 'meat and sarcasm guy' and introduces one of my favorite incidental characters of the series, Piandao) and "The Avatar and the Firelord" (which is filled with history and background info, some of which is hinted at in narnian1's spoiler above. Not to mention the awesome shot of Roku bending all 4 elements at once).

"The Awakening" (season 3 premiere) did a good job summarizing the events at the end of season 2 and what's happened in the meantime. There's some great juxtaposition in the reunions of Katara and Zuko with their respective fathers: Hakoda is truly proud of his child and missed her; Ozai is more concerned with his son's alleged takedown of the Avatar.

*is curious to see what Shadowlander will think of the later seasons of Smallville* Certain parts, especially. And that's all I'll say about that, or I'll ruin it.

I watched the show since it started... but there would be times from season three (?) on, when for various reasons (being in a play, for instance), I would miss lots of episodes. Maybe I should just buy all of the seasons, and watch them. (I already have season one, and want certain episodes anyway)

Warrior 4 Jesus- Stargate SG-1 does get better. (not that I totally despised the first season, but I do like the later ones better)

Here's a question, to those who have seen most of, if not all of the seasons: Which ones do you like better: the ones with Jack? or the ones with Cam and Vala? I think they are about tied for me. It's hard to choose.

I know this show hasn't been on since I was a little bitty kid (think, toddler years), but I've been watching a lot of it on tv reruns (which have since not been happening, the last several days ), and on hulu (where I have seen lots of it, since they have all the seasons)... the A-team. Anyone else like that show?

The more I watch of it, the more I want to talk about it. Dad is sick of me bringing it up, and I don't really know of many others (if any) that have seen it. So, it'd be cool if I could talk of it on here...

Well, my wife and I just polished off Season 5. She's got Season 6 on hold from the library so it may be some time before we continue.

- I still maintain Lana is the biggest villain in the show. You expect the other villains to behave like they do because they're villains and they work on a certain code. Sometimes they can hurt a person physically, but Lana hurts emotionally, and that's far more harmful to a person, I think.

- Sometimes I get the feeling that Clark manufactures reasons to dislike Lex. Lex bends over backwards for Clark and Clark rudely rebuffs him. Dweeb.

- My wife was sad over

- I love the cameo by Tom "Luke Duke" Wopat, complete with a 69 Charger that he and Schneider spent a lot of time together in The Dukes of Hazzard. Yeeeeeeee-haw! I only wish they'd have been able to put in a role for Enos Strait.

- Sometimes the show can be kinda wearying. With each episode there's an even chance you can just skip it, but because there's an underlying plot arc that's constantly developing you can't easily do so for fear of missing that super important 2 minute stretch when so and so finds out such and such about Clark, or so and so inadvertantly sets in motion something that will be super important later. *sigh* Makes me miss the 1st season a little bit.

- The Fortress of Solitude...
