I've got no prejudice against the medium per se. I just have yet to see much that appeals. I put that down partly to cultural differences and partly to age differences to the intended audience.
I've heard cowboy beebop is good. Just never made an effort I guess.
If a series or film is genuine and engrossing I'll try it.

Nah, that guy went on a rampage and killed heaps of people in his suburb. It was all over the news, I'm surprised you didn't hear about it.
After each murder he yelled at the corpse to "GET UP!"
Oh good, I was hoping someone would say that!
What vince really needs to watch, is K-ON.
I guess Ben Cousins having meth up his butt stole the headlines....
Dude Vince Mate Bro Man Cuz
Because it's not, mate.
Warning:
Cowboy Bebop is the single worst anime to watch as your first anime, on the basis that it is the best anime; every anime after will leave you disappointed.
Also, you should totally watch Cowboy Bebop.
Hey mate don't be hatin
I was merely jesting Mr Boken dude mate bro cuz man cobber.
Edit: Should've made that cobber man, would've sounded funny.

It is really really laggy 
I dunno really. I just enjoy the spontaneity of flicking through the channels, and getting some language exposure in. There was a morning show I really liked, might see if its on tomorrow (eee ><).

if it helps I can take photos of myself pulling various emotions so you can stick the cards on the bottom corner of your TV for reaction shots to shows
I doubt someone would be bothered streaming a morning show lolIt is really really laggy

The only time there are streams on justintv of non sports/gaming stuff is when there's some special show/event thing. There is some guy that's been consistently streaming classic anime which is alright. Or, theres's an akb channel if you can tolerate their nonsense, I sure can't. But yeah, I'd rather watch random tv that's not anime or drama.You'd think with how popular japanese culture is there would be more shady ways of streaming japanese tv...but there just isn't sadly><
Oh well, at least Mon-Sat 10:45am SBS2 is s a thing!

Yeah, Keyhole's a bit of a shitfest. Slideshow like what. Freshverse stream just a variety of stuff and is generally pretty good (tuned in when they had the last live GCCX challenge on and it was fine).
Edit: Just remembered that Freshverse has been down for a while now and still isn't working at the moment.

I typically download variety shows from d-addicts.
Oh yeah I did ask before! Oops, I've been super busy this week and forgot haha. Sorry. I'll check them out. Thanks for saying it...again.
Oh dear god
So I got fleeced into buying a game for work and I basically need to become proficient at it in four days over this easter break :| woe is me, etc
Madman won't send it through, or said they sent it through and it wasn't in the last shipment :<

2pm is clearly too early to start Easter drinks, so I find myself in a state of unexpected inibriation. At 8:30pm no less.
Watching Stardust with my better half. Her choice, too. She's the best.

Love Stardust. Wife not a big fan unfortunately.
Just polished off a bottle of sparkling Shiraz (Fox Creek Vixen). Was meant to be sparkling white of some sort but the girl at the cellar door obviously gave us the wrong one. Wife hates red but somewhat enjoyed this... at least a little.
lol yeah, I usually switch between that and kohaku. Need my yearly end of year enka fix!
Yeah, American TV gets it right, they don't do that at all.

British TV gets it partly right. Short seasons and only a few of them at that. Actually a lot of Japanese series do, or at least used to, as well. There's definitely a few that just don't stop.
To kick this thread in a slightly different direction, New Girl has (somewhat surprisingly) really lifted it's game in the last four or five episodes. Based on that, it probably won't last past a second season but as an ensemble comedy, it's surprisingly good.
Also, Zooey.
But also, it's actually good. Think HIMYM, but funny and without a laugh track and without a single standout character (a la Barney).

Most Japanese/ Korean dramas tend to only have two or three songs, which they play every episode for dramatic effect. That's what makes me kinda hesitant about watching more... If the show is quality and interesting it doesn't matter to me how long it is.
They do that all the time you silly!
Never watched a j-drama.
I've only ever watched one k-drama, a period drama of all things lol:

really good, but kinda long.

For you, the day Ono began Capcom's fighter renaissance was the most important day of your life. But for him, it was Tuesday.
Only K-drama i've seen is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_House_(Korean_drama)
I've watched too many J-dramas

I expected it to be awful and schmaltzy but instead it is mostly pretty good with Zooey being that dream girl that doesn't exist in the real world.

A few years ago, I was visiting family in the old country and a friend was hooked on this K-drama called Winter Sonata. Blew my mind to see Korean people dubbed into Spanish.
