Christina Hendricks might've gotten nekkid?

I think I'm just about the only person who doesn't find her even remotely attractive.

So you wait for when the DVDs get release. Why are you entitled to get something for free?

They don't run shows like Breaking Bad because it isn't going to get the same ratings.

LOL.

Now you're straying into the absurd. Breaking Bad can't stand up to the quality expected by broadcast TV viewers?

LMAO!

And Mad Men was first offered to HBO. How would it turn out? The same with Mad Men on A&E. Mad Men on HBO would have more sex & cursing, but be for all other purposes the same.

But they didn't. If my aunt was a man she'd be my uncle. What an awful argument.

Thought experiment - if Firefly was on SyFy do you think it would have been canceled? No, because it likely would have gotten good enough ratings to continue its existence. However, was a dismal ratings failure on FOX.

Same thing goes for a show like Arrested Development. Though, of course they likely were a bit more expensive for your normal cable channel.

After all, the new Battlestar Galactica, by all accounts, lost SyFy a TON of money. Though it was considered a "loss leader" - kind of like what Mad Men is to AMC - bring more shows and eventually more viewers. Though for SyFy that hasn't happened.

I don't watch sci-fi. No comment.

Nope. She's merely okay.

But hey, the show is "stylish" if you don't mind the boring as **** plot lines.

[Wezil]

So how do the two platforms hold up at awards time?

Emmys? Cable has virtually swept the last three years.

Don't like the Emmy's and prefer the Golden Globes? Same result.

Way to kill Apolyton, Wezil.

Imran and I disagree but do so respectfully. This isn't bad is it?

[Lorizael]

Heh. Your post was the last one in the OT for about three hours.

Edit: More like an hour and a half. Bah.

[Wezil]

Ahh.

I put that down to "What can you say when the wise man has already spoken?"

[MikeH]

It could have been "some posts are so stupid it stuns everyone into silence".

[MikeH]

I am too lazy to look what you said, but could apply to most posts.

[Wezil]

So that's just a forum drive-by then?

[MikeH]

Well I have been involved in this thread.

[Guynemer]

I think I'm just about the only person who doesn't find her even remotely attractive.

I think you might be gay.

I restate: Why are you entitled to get something for free?
