Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "oh hurray another banal misc-alike spam magnet," and you'd probably be half-right, but I intend to try and serve a purpose with it. This section is pretty popular, probably due in no small part to the attention the movie review thread gets, but there's not really any open discussion about TV and DVD (which is 2/3rds of the topic!) unless it's brought up in a thread specifically about that series. However, the threads don't really stay afloat for very long after the series has died out, and it'd be pointless to create a new one every time someone got into a show and felt like sharing their opinion (not to mention the board's strict anti-necromancy policy), besides which it's just a waste of space to have discussions happening in so many different places unless there's a reason for them.
So this thread is kind of intended to "fill the gaps," so to speak. It's not meant to replace existing topics, so if there's already a thread for it, by all means use that. However, if the show is old or doesn't warrant creating a new topic, then this is a good place to dump any reviews, opinions, recommendations, or just general discussion on whatever you've been watching. Oh, but no movies, we already have a place for that. And try not to spam the place up too bad, you scamps. Ta.
To start things off (spoiler tags not necessary, just trying to cut down on the wordage):

Just watched through Clone High, finally. Now I may be blind, but WHY WAS THIS NEVER RENEWED? WHY?!
Also six episodes into Black Lagoon.
What a piece of shit.
Action sucks, characters suck, plot sucks. The animation is decent until things actually start happening, then it's just bland. It's like they tried too hard to make it super-abrasive with the violence and swearing, but then forgot to put the characters in any kind of dangerous or suspenseful situations. Or at least you wouldn't know it to watch it, because apparently one's survivability in this show is directly proportionate to how stoic and badass they act.
WHY DID THEY EVEN HIRE ROCK? WHY?! Seriously tell me, he's ****ing useless as shit.
