I know we have a thread somewhere but I will start another.

Tonight on Esquire TV Network (Check you local listings) the greatest reality show since Season One of MTV The Real Life premieres Season 4. That's right FRIDAY Night TYKES is back on!!! Haven't seen the first 3 seasons? You can stream them. You won't be disappointed. This shown is so good there is even a spin off 'FRIDAY Night TYKES: Steel Country'.


Also, this is a good place to discuss any new shows coming on like the new 24

My tv watching has been really limited of late, mostly just football, soccer, & ufc consistently. But I have been watching 'Shooter' on USA. Really good show. The first season just ended last night and was only 10 episodes.

I know this is supposed to be a television Renaissance but I really haven't found much I like since breaking bad. I mostly watch old shows I like. But I have found The Crown to be really good on Netflix. It seems like it would be boring but it's fascinating what a bizarre life royalty lives. I plan to start Sneaky Pete on prime as I've read good things about it. Stanger Things was really good.

Friday Night Tykes is pretty good. Im just in awe of how skilled those kids are. When I was that age nobody could throw or catch in a real game.

Just finished up Medici. I love costume pieces but feel that unnecessarily tinkering with history as part of creative license is wearing thin on me.

watching little children develop CTE as soon as humanly possible seems like great television.

Have you watched it? They actually deal with that. A couple of coaches even get suspended for not teaching proper techniques

proper techniques is BS. show is basically child abuse.

When did you become such a nancy? How many millions of kids played football up until this point in history? They're not all committing suicide. This is probably the best age to get kids hitting each other. You only have slow fat kids and lanky bean poles as opposed to roided up machines.

'Hunted' is pretty interesting. I can't tell you how often I've thought through being in that situation (much like the zombie apocalypse scenario for some of you).

I've enjoys "Hunted" for awhile.

I'm an Aaron Sorkin junkie, so West Wing and The Newsroom get my vote.

Also really like House of Cards.

Just finished first season of Frontier on Netflix. Not bad.

If you don't mind watching shows with subtitles...

'Nobel' on Netflix is really good. It's a political thriller/mystery that revolves around the Norwegian special forces. Only 8 episodes, but just really well done.

Started 'Abstract' last night. It's a documentary series (Netflix) about individual artists/designers, much like the excellent 'Chef's Table'. Most people would probably find it boring, but the first episode about an illustrator was good.

Got into Designated Survivor before it went on midseason hiatus...disappointed in 24 Legacy (As a fan of the original

In lighter fare, I love Man With A Plan...its almost like watching Joey from Friends raising a family

I know this isn't in line with what the rest of you are posting, but the best show on TV right now is "This Is Us."

That I can agree with wholeheartedly bama...if it doesn't get the Emmy award for best drama it should be criminally investigated

As someone who lived the '80s HS experience in the midwest, Stranger Things Season One lived up the hype. Excited to see what they do with Season Two.

As for This is Us, mancards are in jepardy.

I really need to give Sherlock the time investment. Benedict Cumberbatch is awesome in everything he does.
