Looking back over things, I cannot believe Oz hardly even got nominated for that sort of shit. Ah well, it's sort of a badge of honour, I guess (having a show that is too good for recognition). Tom Fontana should have easily won some writing Emmys, and there are plenty of actors who deserved acting noms (Lee Tergesen, Eamonn Walker, Chris Meloni, J.K. Simmons, etc.).

There is no reason that Jimmy Smits should not win the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Also, with Michael C. Hall's performance being a little more "showy" this year, and a lot more range being shown in it, he's got an even better shot at winning an Emmy this year, too.

It's likely that Mad Men will take the Best Drama Emmy again, though. Or even Breaking Bad. The powers that be certainly love their alliteration and AMC shows.

It's Premium Cable, unless the shows name is Sopranos, you won't get recognized.

It's a shame, because most of the top quality stuff is actually shown on cable, to my understanding. Especially in the drama department.

I regret that I haven't. One of my friends has the entire series on DVD, so I should probably borrow it. As good as I've heard?

I look forward to your reply. As of now, I am going to go off and watch the first season of The Wire. I bought the first four seasons yesterday on DVD for $15.98 Australian each. That's like $10.45 US a season, or something. A fucking bargain over here.

You should really borrow it, it's a great show. Watched it about a month ago, one of the best shows I've seen. It's up there with the Sopranos and Oz, IMO. Not to mention it has one of TV's greatest characters ever Al Swearengen played by Ian McShane, who is fucking awesome on the show. It was created by David Milch, who did NYPD Blue, which I'm not really a fan of but maybe you are. I regret not having watched it sooner.

Never watched NYPD Blue. I always prefered Law & Order or Homicide: Life on the Street for my cop buzz. I'll definitely check out Deadwood, though. Thanks for the recommendation.

I did hear that Ian McShane is particularly brilliant on it.

Ian McShane steals the show really. You HAVE to watch it as soon as you can. I've been telling anyone with a working TV to watch it for the last month. Such a brilliant portrayal of the old west too. It's one of my top three shows ever, easily. Just talking about it makes me want to go watch it again, but I have to finish lulling through Mad Men. Just go watch it, now.

The scenes when Al Swearengen has stones in his bladder make me wince so much.

Good times though. Are they going to make a TV movie to properly finish off the series?

That's what was supposed to happen was 2 two hour movies for HBO, but I guess the sets got taken apart, and most of the actors have found other work. Sad really.

That's the set my mate has. If you're going to buy a show, buy it in style, I say.

Deadwood is going to be next after The Wire, for me. I've seen bits and pieces of The Wire from around the place, but this will be my first time going through it from beginning to end. Watching the fifth episode in the first season, I am in complete awe at how great this scene with D'Angello and this girl in a restaurant is.

He's talking about how he doesn't fit in, and she says that they're not the only black people here. He says "it ain't about that," and this waiter brings up the dessert cart. D grabs some cake for this girl, and the waiter tells him that they're only the samples, and you can just feel the awkwardness D is experiencing. Fucking genius. So relatable, too, even though I'm not the nephew of a black drug lord in the Baltimore projects.

I've just started watching The Wire, 3 episodes into the first series, it's pretty bloody good so far.

So many great shows that either never get shown here or get buired late at night - I love the internet.

Foxtel occasionally shows some good stuff, but not even it gets it right. I generally get my good television fix from DVD box sets these days. I should start using the internet more.

Deadwood is so good it can be talked about in any thread, at any time. Like The Wire, or Bret Hart.

I have Foxtel and yeah you are right, they do show some good stuff - Dexter, Deadwood etc, but usually on Showtime, which costs more so fuck that. SBS also picks up some good stuff.

I have just started watching Rescue Me - fucking hell it's a good show.

SBS is where I discovered Oz. And every Australian boy goes through a phase where SBS becomes the coolest channel in the world, just because of what it shows early morning...

I started watching Rescue Me, but for some reason I had to stop. Had too much on my plate, or something. Need to get back into it, because I remember hearing so much good about it.

John Lithgow

John Lithgow has signed on to play Dexter's new serial killer.
The Emmy-winning actor will play Walter Simmons, aka the "Trinity Killer," so named because he murders in threes. Simmons is a mild-mannered suburbanite who shows up in Miami, on the run from FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy. (Keith Carradine returns as Lundy after a season-long absence.) Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) becomes infatuated with the Trinity Killer's methods, and his ability to evade capture for more than 30 years.
Lithgow will appear in all 12 episodes of Season 4, which premieres Sunday, Sept. 27.

I liked the Debra/Lundy stuff and was upset Lundy wasn't going to be in the third season.

Really got to get my hands on a copy of the third season. Literally just discovered this show last week and my girlfriend and I watched the first two seasons in about 5 days.

Amazing.

There are a ton of sites out there that will put up links to episodes just a day or two after they air. DVR and the Internet (and loose Chinese copyright laws) are beautiful things.

Surfthechannel.com is usually pretty good with TV shows. The quality is usually pretty good...just don't bother with youku links (take ages to load) and Megavideo has like a 90 minute limit before they make you wait an hour to watch more videos.

My favorite thing to do? Get one of those extensions for Firefox that lets you download any videos on a website as an FLV, download a free video converter, convert the FLV files to AVI or any other DVD-compatible type, and burn them onto blank DVDs. Fuck Showtime and their $40 season DVD sets that don't come out until the next season starts.

Jimmy Smits was fucking amazing in Season 3. The dude deserves a fucking Oscar for it, despite Dexter not being a film. Lithgow will be fantastic in Season 4. God, I am so excited.

I always liked Lundy. Well, elements of the character were kind of cool. You knew he was clever, and he was just such a pimp. He got to bang Debra, which is A-OK with me.

I understand why you'd think Lundy was annoying.... because of Deb. Lundy was a badass.

I cannot stand Deb. I do not find her attractive and maybe she can act, but her character is just god awful and it seems like she can't act.
