I loved Videodrome. I watched it in a hotel room in Kingston a 3AM. One of the creepiest movies I ever seen.

I really need to start watching The Shield soon. I bought the first 5 DVD seasons last summer because of Jeff's non stop recommendations. I was planning on waiting until Season 6 was released, so I could just watch them straight through.... but maybe it's time to start and I'll just download Season 6.
Trying to avoid spoilers is a hard thing to do. I was nervous watching TRS 50 and I'm even nervous reading through this thread. Especially after seeing Jeff's reaction to Dan finding out some big spoiler on Youtube a while back. I want to go into this show knowing nothing. (Not that I'm saying the spoiler is the reason Dan didn't like the show.)

"I don't understand, why is no one saying anything about the David Cronenberg film Videodrome?
The movie came out in 1983 and was all about a signal that was put through TV that brainwashed the viewer into doing nutty things.
As this cult classic been seen by no one?
These guys are going off on it being so amazingly original yet the entire concept of the film had been done over 20 years ago. I had to register to post this, the episode they are going off on it being such an original concept, talking about Stephen King, yet not a single mention is being made about Videodrome."
Hi and welcome. Glad you registered!
I don't think Dan was saying the at the concept was original, but rather the filmmaking itself. It is not the idea of the story that is original, it is the tone and way it is told that is original. Dan and I both mentioned that the idea of technology as the "monster" has been done.
Hope that clears it up - and I hope you hang around and keep posting. :)

I just started watching "The Shield" and i must say that it is fantastic, although i dont think that its "the greatest show ever" it certainly is an amazing show with great small bits of humour when the drama gets too deep.
the greatest line in any show ever is from the shield it made me crack up laughing so hard...
"I saw this suspicious looking white guy and..."
"Wait what made him suspicious looking"
"...well he was white"
<3 you guys for introducing me to this show
