Perhaps this is not appropriate for the board (it is for 'cinephiles and those who make movies'), and perhaps this has already been suggested before, but I'd like to see a forum dedicated to TV.  Sure, there's a lot of shit on, but there are a few shows that I adore (almost anything on HBO, 24, The Shield, Nip/Tuck, etc.) and think they're worthy of discussion.  Reality shows aside, there are some interesting, challenging, and very film-like programs out there-- just few and far between.  Just a thought.

Hmmmm, I don't really feel strongly toward any side, but I would probably post something really insightful if we had a TV forum

well, there are numberous threads about different shows...you are right though, maybe there should be a place for them, cause they usually end up in Idle Chatter.

I don't think tv is a bad thing here, there are movies made for tv.  anyone watch jeopardy?

Yeah, now and then I'll get hooked on it

I love it when someone just slays the other 2 contestants, that's great.  Especially when it's like, some old guy who has a blue collar job.  Quality TV

One new forum proposal at a time. We're still working on the Foreign Film one.

I have contempt for the TV industry in general. I love the show 24 though, what an exciting series. Mainly I love that it takes place in one day. There's so little time in one day and so much is accomplished in the show. On my lazy days I consider it an accomplishment to even go outside and check the mail, so it's exciting to watch Jack Bauer out-do me.

TV is good if you know what to watch, and have cable/sattelite.

Social french quebec TV is great, Tele-Quebec is the best channel ever. ARTV is awesome too. I'm glad to be a frog.

And there's always the Space Channel, when it's not fantastic sci-fi it's often intelligent.

You should check out the show 60.  Takes place, one second for each episode, in one minute.
Yeah, it's a skit on Conan.
