MILLENNIUM
PLOT: Frank Black is an ex FBI agent working for a mysterious organization known as the millennium group.
WHY: Seeing how i loved the x files so much i thought i'd give chris carters other show a go...and i'm glad i did, milliennium is scary and interesting and it some episodes remind me of those early x files.
HIGHLIGHTS: Seeing people from the x files pop up, x files refs, the creepy serial killers, the music.
BEST EPISODES: A room with no view (love is blue) most of season 1/2
JUMP THE SHARK: When franks hair turned grey over night / season 3
THE SIMPSONS
PLOT : Animated sictom about a yellow family
WHY: I first saw the simpsons on video, it was a really early episode, at the time i just saw it as a cartoon it would be years later that i would fully appreciate the humour of the show.
BEST BITS: Everything homer says, when they sing a song, fat comic book guy

JUMP THE SHARK: Newer episodes, clip shows, simpsons doing bible stories ...not funny
JUMP THE SHARK: Newer episodes, clip shows, simpsons doing bible stories ...not funny
CSI : CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION
PLOT : The series follows Las Vegas criminologists as they use physical evidence to solve grisly murders.WHY: I didn't pay much attention to CSI at first because it was on ch 5, and at that time everyting on that channel was shit. The first episode i saw involved a bus crash, the show looked like a mini movie and i love all the puzzles. For me the first 6- 7 seasons are the best, it's losing it's touch now.
BEST: Sara and grissom, serial killer episodes.
JUMP THE SHARK : When sara and grissom left.
SPACED
PLOT : Adventures of Tim and Daisy as they navigate through life.
WHY: Spaced is every fanboy/girls dream show, every episodes will feature some x files, star trek , star wars ref. The show is also really funny but there's a lot of jokes you'll only get if you a geek.
BEST: Tims reaction to srar wars episode 1
JUMP THE SHARK: It only lasted 2 seasons so it never had time to jump
FREAKS AND GEEKS
PLOT: High school show focusing on the freeks and geeks
WHY: I just recently disovered this show and loved it. It's the first high school show that i've seen that looks at the freaks and geeks ...who are far more intereting than the cheerleaders and jocks.
BEST: Lindsay stoned, geeks going to the convention, sams jump suit.

JUMP THE SHARK: It never did
THE X FILES
PLOT: Two FBI agents investigate the paranormal one a believer the other a skeptick ...brilliant
WHY: When i heard about the x files i thought it was a weekly documentary about aliens so when i switched on at first i was a little disappointed however after the a few episodes i was hooked. It's a show that makes you think, laugth, cry, and wonder - it is in my opinion the greatest show ever.
BEST: Mulder and Scully shippy scenes, the aliens, the monsters, .........
JUMP THE SHARK : Season 8, the show is about mulder and scully take one of the away and it's shit.
Oh dear, haven't been on this site in a while but finally, a chance to see the long-awaited TV show blog!
ReplyDeleteI notice you haven't done a jump-the-shark section for these shows so I can help you out there ;)
The X Files: Season 7 was encircled by shark fins so season 8 was definitely jumping time when Mulder left, though the season that filming moved to California was a bit of a jump, maybe not over a shark but certainly a big fish.
CSI: When Sara left, definitely, though she got out while the getting was good because it was starting to fade.
Simpsons: Not sure the exact season number, but when they started writing entire episodes around a guest star and very far-fetched ideas like Homer going to space and Marge becoming a bodybuilder etc. Also, Maude Flanders dying - what was that about?
Other notes:
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that's what Roswell was about, it actually sounds quite good.
Is Locke from Lost in Millennium? I still wouldn't watch it though.
You liked the Sara/Grissom thing? Thanks for reminding me, I should add it to the jumping-the-shark list.
Oh crap i forgot the jump the shark section ( goes to fix)
ReplyDeleteAre you serious about roswell or are you being sarcastic in any case i will give you season 1 :)
yeah locke from lost is in millennium and x files and roswell :)
I thought the sara/ grissom thing was ok - better than sara/ greg or catherine/ warrick
I was serious about Roswell... but not serious enough to watch a season ;)
ReplyDeleteTV shows are always ruined when 2 characters get together after many years when it was clearly never the initial intention of the show but just a bid to raise falling viewing numbers. e.g. Mulder/Scully, Sara/Grissom, Monica/Chandler. Or in the case of Futurama Fry/Leela, a hackneyed climax.
