I have no tolerance for ficticious or reality TV. Waste of brain cells and free time IMO. Is it just me??

There's a ton of cr@p out there, but the best of the best, the cream of the crop shows are very good. I would argue that the best shows in the past decade are much more engaging than anything ever shown on the boob tube before and approach the best movies in terms of writing and engagement.

The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Game of Thrones, Justified, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, Treme, Friday Night Lights, even Battlestar Galactica. They are nuanced, intricate, smart and entertaining.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm sure you've seen this Erik, but if not, I thought you'd like it.

Edit: I thought I'd include the text that came with the this video as well.

This video is a tribute to the work of Aaron Sorkin: the recycled dialogue, recurring phrases, and familiar plot lines. This is not intended as a critique but rather a playful excursion through Sorkin's wonderful world of words.

Homeland rules. Sundays are quite the TV binge for me in the fall: NFL, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Homeland, Walking Dead, 60 Minutes, PGA Tour final round.

I don't have Showtime so I've got to wait until next year for the season 2 DVD to come out. :cry:

Brutal.

Although, binging on an entire season over the course of like a week is pretty darn fun too. Glass half full!

Mid level cable (golf channel isn't on basic here) Watch some others via Amazon live/Netflix. Breaking Bad is great. Really enjoyed The Shield and Game of Thrones. I watched season one of Homeland; Claire Daines' portrayal of a highly functional bipolar is outstanding. Was annoyed by the numerous bonehead decisions by superiors and last second misses/snafus to catch the bad guys (same issues I had with 24)

And now the full spoiler:

Jesse Plemons goes on another murderous rampage! Ahh, just had to get that out there. FNL season 2 serial killer Landry jokes have come full circle to Breaking Bad.

When you posted this (and the various other posts last month or so re: BB) originally I didn't know or care, as I had not watched a single minute on Breaking Bad.  Since then?  Hooked!  I have watched THE ENTIRE SERIES in the last month or so.  Holy Crap.  [Erik, you are cuh-razy for not liking this! ]  And that episode you are referring to in your spoiler was pretty shocking.

Love this!  And I am a big Aaron Sorkin fan.  Sports Night is my all time favorite show ever ... I've probably seen it 8 times straight through.

Speaking of BB and Sports Night ... anybody know the obscure actor connection between the two?  Hint:  He's in the video above.

Yea, BB kicks ass! I didn't catch the connection here, even though I watched the Sorkinisms clip again. What was it?

    • Thanks for the explanation. I didn't understand exactly how the calculation worked. JH
    • Since more news will clarify things, but we're having fun speculating,  here is some speculation on what is happening. Please don't hate, it's only speculation for fun! 1. Obvious, but this is hardly a merger. It's an acquisition as others have pointed out. 2. The PGAT and DPWT sold because they don't have the cash to compete with LIV payouts and were on the verge of losing a bunch more high-profile players to LIV in the coming year. 3. As a sovereign wealth fund, PIF didn't like LIV management (Norman, etc.) and wanted a good operator. They are playing a very long game, and know that the PGAT can run a tour a lot better than LIV ever could. 4. The only way the PGAT and DPWT can sell this to players is if there is A LOT of money that will be taken off the table. In other words, the Rorys of the PGAT will cash out big and get deals similar to those that left the PGAT in the past year or two. 5. As part of the terms, the PIF will fade into the background, and all parties that cash out (including current PGAT players and officials) will agree not to mention them or badmouth them.   Totally. Everyone and their mothers will be investigating this. I would be impressed if this clears all the world's different organizational bodies.
    • So Bloomberg is reporting that the US DoJ  is gonna investigate the merger re anti trust laws.  Although I seem to remember them being involved months ago anyway, so it is probably to be expected
    • Broker a truce does not mean knowledge of merger. That article clearly lacks statements or other facts to say that Rory knew of the merger. 
    • It seems as though Rory had previous knowledge that a deal may have been in the works.    Newcastle chief Amanda Staveley's role in PGA Tour-LIV Golf saga after Rory McIlroy chat - Mirror Online The PGA Tour and LIV Golf have merged after a year of war between the two competitions, with the latter enlisting...
