Can't recommend the show Orphan Black highly enough. I love it, it's got the same kind of intensity and urgency as shows like Breaking Bad do.

I'm watching sliders since I remember catching bits and pieces of it when I was younger and I like Jerry O'Connell(Tom Cats is still one of my favorite comedies :)). Altogether it is a fun show to sit down and watch the variety of worlds they created are quite interesting.

Sliders is one of my all-time favorite shows! (Seasons 1-3, at least) Admittedly, they could have done better. But at the same time, it was still pretty dang good for the time. It didn't have the budget of the Star Trek or Stargate shows, but despite that they still manage to create some cool worlds in that show. Well, at least until Sci-Fi Channel took the show over from FOX, then everything went downhill quickly.
I remember Sliders, I should go back and watch the whole series. Thanks for reminding me it existed :mrgreen:

Orange is the new Black, Netflix Original. Only two episodes in but it's kept my interest. Recommend.

Got the first three seasons for my daughter, but I found myself zoning out in front of the TV watching them myself. :P

Wow, really guys?

I loved the show as much as the next guy growing up. But I tried to go back and watch some of it a year or so back as an adult, and dear god is it a horribly made show. Terrible acting, terrible special effect, bad costumes (specifically the monster baddies), incredibly predictable formula for each episode, and such cheesy dialogue. And the "teenager" scenes are worse than the crappiest Disney series out there.

Yes, it's absolutely awful. I've watched it a couple of times as a comedy.

I think a Power Rangers movie could actually be awesome. But the show is, and always has been awful. I can for the most part, go back and watch the shows I watched as a kid and enjoy them, but not Power Rangers.

I loved the original Power Rangers, especially when the Green Ranger became a part of the show, but I wouldn't watch it now for fear of my adult self ripping it to shreds and making my inner child cry. I'm happy to preserve my nostalgia for the show and not kill my fond memories of it. I have to wonder though, can it really be any worse than the cheesy stuff we watched in the 80s like Transformers and G.I. Joe?

I just watched the Futurama finale, there's still a few of this season's episodes on my DVR I need to see. I enjoyed the finale, it felt more like a regular episode than a finale, but it's not like the show had a bunch of things that needed resolution so all they had to do was deliver an entertaining episode.
