The Black Donnellys 3/26/07 ***spoilers***

[montag]

This show is getting better. I had serious doubts after the first two episodes but it's growing on me. Even the main brother is less irritating.

I love that there is less family life/mommy stuff and more criminal activity.

[markp99]

Tommy should just kill brother Jimmy and be done with it. ;) But then there'd be no conflict storyline to resolve... This series may get old if Jimmy is the sole instigator.

[goblue97]

I'm still enjoying this show but I hear it's close to the chopping block.
I also agree that Jimmy just needs to go but then what would Tommy be trying to fix all the time.

[dimented]

I like the show. Hopefully the participation in this thread is not a sign of it's demise.

[7thton]

This show has been good from episode one. Let's hope it gets renewed...

[Martha]

I'm still watching. I am enjoying it and hope it isn't cancelled, but I'm not holding out much hope. :(

[KRS]

Just poking my head in here to see if it is worth watching any of the episodes I have piled up. With such an inactive thread and word of cancellation, I am thinking not.

If you don't mind the risk of it being cancelled I say go for it. It is a very good show and even if it is cancelled I will enjoy what I have watched so far and not really feel like there was any huge question I needed answered.

This show absolutely beats the snot out of whatever lame show it replaced.

are you just looking to build the thread? ;)

I've been burned too many times the past few seasons. Reunion, Windfall, Smith...I'm sure I could name a half a dozen others. It has gotten to the point that unless there's a lot of good word of mouth from people I know (Heroes, Battlestar), I'd rather let them accumulate on TiVo. Then, if the show gets cancelled, I can simply delete them all and not really care.

Personally, I've really been enjoying this show.

I used to make it a point to sample the first 2 or 3 episodes of shows that sounded interesting, but lately I don't even do that any more. I think it has something to do with my XBox 360 habit. :)

Plus it feels better to mass delete a cancelled show than to sit through episodes that are being burned off because you are invested in the story.

[BlackBetty]

This show rocks. I've really enjoyed every episode so far.

I like the show but how long can Tommy keep his idiot brothers (Jimmy an Kevin) from getting killed?

I think the show would be better if their characters were a little smarter.

but if they were smarter they wouldn't be getting in so much trouble.

I really like the show and will be pissed off when it gets cancelled and replaced with some Hillary Duff sitcom or other teenie bop BS.

[Bojangling]

This show is top notch. Each episode has been entertaining on it's own, while slowly progressing the series. Not sure if they can continue with the same story line for long (Person x messes up, Tommy fixes it but feels bad about his methods) but I have faith in Haggis.

Close but it's Ashton Kutcher, not Hillary Duff. According to The Futon Critic, it's a hidden camera series inspired by the movie "The Wedding Crashers"

Will take over The Black Donnellys timeslot on April 23rd when it goes on Hiatus.


Shouldn't this show be on MTV or something....

NBC bowing to the lowest common denominator. Damn them.

[mrowe8]

Well that just opened up a another time slot for me to do something besides watch t.v. I guess.
