Recommendations?

OK - I need two things from you, aside from reading Ch. 7 for W and Th...

1)  Someone needs to find a chat or forum site that is iTouch friendly.  I'll start using it in class this week (more likely next) if you can find one - I think I might be the only teacher using the iTouches if we can find a purpose.

2) I've finished Venture Brothers and need something light to watch before I go nite-nite.  I started Curb Your Enthusiasm, but it just makes me want to watch the next one.  Gimme some ideas...I've watched ALL Simpsons and Futurama episodes...Family Guy is hit or miss, American Dad is awful, King of the Hill is OK, Conan has lost his edge, Dave is annoying, and anything news-like just makes me think too much.  HELP!!!

  1. Try Entourage. Anything HBO is always good. Best dramedy on TV

  2. Entourage is a HUGE hit or miss. with the new ones, it's a miss more than often. It used to be good.

    For something light, watch syndicated Seinfelds. That's what I've been doing lately. A solid comedy that really doesn't require much thinking, but isn't stupid or pointless, at least, not for a show about nothing.

  3. I prefer Scrubs. One of my favorites. Seasons 1-8. Involves with doctors and humor. Try it.

  5. Watch the Mentalist. Its like CSI x10. On every Thursday at like 7 or 8. Lots of twists if you like those kinds of shows. I know it might not be light but its a very interesting show

  6. Just figured out that Moodle works for in-class forums, but I need something like a real-time chat. Suggestions?

  8. Curb Your Enthusiasm is awesome, but if it's not your cup of tea...

    30 Rock is fantastic. Recommended.

    I'd also recommend Freaks and Geeks but it is just about the opposite of "something light".

  11. I am afraid this comment section may become the longest...and what does it have to do with APGov? Nothing. Oh well. Curb is hilarious. But how many of you watched Buffy or Angel? Some of the BEST writing ever...

  13. I LOVE Entourage (earlier seasons were better). Freaks & Geeks was fun. Lost is too "What the..." for late-night and Scrubs is brainless fun but there's always a message...too preachy at times, especially when I am trying to relax before sleeping. I'm gonna go back to Invader Zim for another go-round.

  17. Wow.. all these TV shows sound like they be good to watch. Too bad ever since the convertable boxes came in, all of my TV channels became popcorn except for one channel... The Spanish Channel, Univision... It's amazing watching Dora the Explorer in Spanish. I thought Dora the Explorer was to help you how to speak Spanish. O well... Just sharing. O.o
