We should start a new Nuts campaign to netflix syfy or any other provider that might consider bringing Jericho back!I honestly feel whatever provider did that would at a minimum,get a huge cult following.Maybe throw in Flash Forward Terra Nova,and The River.

So, are you guys following Revolution, or bored with it and want to talk about other shows of the past ?

So far, I'm liking Revolution, gotta watch it for what it is though, can't use current day thinking.

Funny, even though I don't like the way they are so inaccurate in their details of what a real word without electricity would really look like, I seem strangely compelled to tune in each week to watch. I think if they had been more accurate and showing more deaths, disease, destruction and their people looked much worse for the ware, I could swallow this premise. But for each week the characters are wearing form fitting new looking clean clothes and their hair looks great. Who is making all these blue jeans for them to wear? How come they haven't lost more people to scurvy? Are they growing oranges now to give them vit c? Lets talk about the sewer system? Non existent , so where are they all going to the bathroom? Don't see any out houses anywhere. These details are what make the show less real to me. I could like the show better if they just dealt with some of these flaws.

It's decent but,it's only natural to compare it to shows of the same genre.It certainly isn't as compelling as Jericho to me but,it's about the best show of the genre that is on broadcast tv now.So yea I think I'm kind of bored with it.

Sort of like the down and dirty about Survivor. We never see where they do their business. :D ;) (Which is ok actually!).

I am watching the show. But like the fabled "Jericho" I have many problems with it. I can't stand the soap opera! I like the broader story. But every week I am disappointed and end up asking the TV, "Can we please advance the REAL story and tone down the soap?" Last week I watched the entire episode in 20 minutes and missed nothing that matters.

I've always wanted to see the R rated version of Survivor.I've kept waiting for Jeff to have a monthly ppv show like Springer used to.

You must have low standards. ;) :D

Or higher than most. ;)

There are just very few broadcast shows that interest me. Those that do im so far behind on ill just catch up on Netflix. The rest are reality shows, which I can't stand.

Other than that, I have a few cable shows, but very few.

Most of my watching is college sports. (Which I guess could fly in the face of my reality TV comment lol)

I have cut my tv watching by about 2/3, and thus have become really choosy about what to watch. Its why after three weeks of rarely even paying attention to this show, I gave up on it. Just wasn't meeting my expectation for a show with a genre I am generally drawn too.

I spend more time watching old stuff over and over on Netflix than new. :)

I find myself doing the same. Ive said it before, but live sports aside, I could personally do away with pay tv and be happy with netflix and the like.

RIght now "NEW" tv for me is limited to: BBT, The Voice, Survivor, Haven, and... well, that's pretty much it. WTH am I paying $100 per month to Dish???
