Check out Burn Notice on USA. Been following it since day 1.

Ditto on Rome, but Spartacus is a lame knockoff, imho. Just another excuse to put boobs on the screen in a toga.

Which is the only disappointing thing about Game of Thrones. (No, not togas) Most of the nudity serves no storyline purpose. But since the author is happy with it, I guess I can't complain too much. The only modern epic fantasy series I can stomach. It realized the Wheel of Time series' potential.

Loving True Blood, but the ladies in my family tell me it has strayed VERY far from the novels.

Big Bang Theory is network TV, but is the funniest thing to hit the tube since Fawlty Towers. I soooooooo know those guys.

If you are going to the store, pick up the entire Firefly collection. You'll not be disappointed.

Time to see if I can find The Goodies on DVD.

IMHO, GoT handled the nudity well. There weren't any scenes that were there
just to show boobs (that I can recall), there was always something else too.

I would probably be more bothered if there weren't any, given the setting and
the nude's (mostly) being whores, it would feel sillier for them to cover themselves. :hmmm:

Just adds that little bit of "realism". :yep:

Except for nude Hordor, that was bloody pointless. :doh:

That was scary. Thought it was gonna leap out of the TV and smack me on the forehead. Was certainly long enough.

I think the nudity in GoT did indeed tell a storytelling purpose, for the most part. Sure there were some things that we could have done without (Hodor's wang, for example. But that was in the book, so chalk it up to being accurate) but so many of the scenes that caused people to get all up in arms did serve a purpose. The famous scene with Littlefinger and the two whores in Episode 8 tells a lot about Littlefinger's character - everything in his life is based on lies and illusion, including his business. I thought it was a great scene.

Tom and Jerry - Porky Pig - Bugs Bunny - Daffy Duck - Elmer Fudd - those were characters worth keeping.

They still have them, but the modern ones are not nearly as good. They're so tame now.

Oh, don't forget Wiley Coyote and The Roadrunner!
