I guess you will have to download their programs from the internet and burn it on to a CD and show to your son on TV or connect your laptop to the TV and play it.

Re: Television shows: What do you watch?

On star movies, when they are showing 'Now Playing' and 'Next' movie clips, the background music is amazing. I tried searching for it's origin, but failed to do so. Does anyone know what is the original song used for the clip?

Sad news!!

Very sad indeed.
But I guess today the majority of our Indian people prefer the local regional stuff to BBC and such.
We will really miss this Channel.

Re: Television shows: What do you watch?

I got bored of watching "Breaking Bad". I am on some 4th or 5th episode of season 4. Started watching Sherlock but have completed only 45 mins of it. I like it but I don't like the way Sherlock Holmes is portrayed. He's shown to be of a person with lot of pride, but that's not what I remember of him from the books. May be they wanted to add a twist to his personality. Not sure.

Re: Television shows: What do you watch?

Today I accidentally came across a song from the reality show Xfactor India 2011 on youtube. It was from a little 17 year old girl who could nearly match Lata Mangeshkar. She was so good, I went on to check out many of her songs. She was outstanding in how she could sing very difficult and mature songs with the right touch. I assumed she must have been the eventual winner. Then I googled and found she was runner up.

I was so amazed that somebody could beat her, so I looked up the songs of the winner.



This is why I hate reality shows. The guy is just a notch above a bathroom. Yet he gets more votes than a very gifted and versatile singer and wins. What a travesty!

Anyway, I am sure we will see more of this amazing singer in future. One stupid contest result can't hold her back. Here are 3 songs, there are lot more on youtube.

I think Season 2 wrapped up last week in US. I read very rave reviews about it.

Re: Television shows: What do you watch?

As of now, apart from the usual best - Dexter, Fringe, Person of Interest, I also watch 666 Park Avenue, Gossip Girl, 90210 and Once up a time. Each one of these shows has a different theme and plot. American shows are so much better than Indian television!

Re: Television shows: What do you watch?

Intend to knock off all seasons of the following shows in the coming days :

1. Breaking Bad
2. Homeland
3. Suits

And of course, season 4 of Modern Family.

Heard a lot of buzz around Game of Thrones. Anyone has a take?

If you like fantasy genre, this is the one to watch. The story has lots of suspense, action and turns. As of now, 2 seasons are done.

All 3 are brilliant, must watch.

Game of thrones too was enjoyable, lots of drama. It does keep you entertained.

Check out Newsroom, another HBO show. I enjoyed it. Another show called Terra Nova was quite nice, though it got cancelled after the first season.

If anyone wants to see an extremely funny show, watch one called 2 Broke Girls. Makes me laugh like 2 and a half men when Sheen was in it.

Re: Television shows: What do you watch?

^^ I remember you advocating 'Suits'. Watched some of that and actually liked it. Now that my exams are over, I will start watching it regularly.

2 Broke Girls is funny!
