[Aggie]

ooooh, looks good! hadn't heard about this one yet. thanks!

[ANC]

Just set my DVR for it. I love FiOS for that reason... DVR set via the web :thumbup:

[hammersavage]

love tim olyphant. ill watch

[SatCam]

was really hoping this was a justin timberlake thread

[Chigworthy]

love tim olyphant. ill watch

Gay.

was really hoping this was a justin timberlake thread

Gayer.

[JimBeam]

I sure wish they would've picked a better looking leading female character.

I mean her face looked pretty at first but then I saw that fat ass and the cankles and was immediately turned off by her.

Maybe she'll get killed in this episode and they'll replace her w/ a hottie.

[dereckfishboy]

Officer Shane Vandrell gets himself on another FX show?

[extracheese]

I loved it! Death Wish meets Die Hard.
Simplicity itself. Nothing complicated - just a well crafted stylized ass kicking. And after
the brain cramps involved with watching LOST its just the perfect diversion.

I highly recommend this show.

[PapaBear]

How does FX keep doing it? They must have the best track record of any network in TV history.

[KnoxHarrington]

I need to watch this show. Because, after all, I actually have been to Harlan, KY.

It's pretty rough, but not that bad, really.

[NickyL0885]

How does FX keep doing it? They must have the best track record of any network in TV history.

USA Network would beg to differ.

[PapaBear]

USA Network would beg to differ.
I think they've had a few clunkers. I haven't seen FX's Sons of Anarchy, and have only seen a little of Nip/Tuck, but everything else I've seen was great.

[Chigworthy]

Liked it. Glad to be on board at episode 1, which never happens for me.

Peter Greene looked terrible. He had a really bad case of coke/crank jaw, which I don't think was acting. His eyes were so sunken they looked CG.

[Furtherman]

I liked it too... a great take on a modern western. I'll be there for episode 2.

[Aggie]

^^^ me too...thanks for suggesting this! and i like the chick that plays his ex wife....good to see her in the cast.

[JimBeam]

That the guy he killed in the beginning ? The dude that plays a bad guy in everything ?

I liked it a lot. Looking forward to more.

I liked when Goggans was rambling about the Jews and Olyphant was like, " Do you even know any Jews ? "

[Contra]

Tivoed, hopefully watching tonight

[JimBeam]

You've gotta listen carefully at the very end when he explains the background of the guy from the very beginning.

I had to rewind it a few times because he was mumbling.

[Gutter]

yea, i'm in.......FX does it again.

[Willmore]

Yup, good show. It's a shame that it's not on HBO/Showtime.

'Justified' scores biggest FX debut since 'Shield (http://www.thrfeed.com/2010/03/justified-scores-biggest-fx-debut-since-shield-.html)

The premiere of FX's "Justified" on Tuesday night was the second most-watched series debut in the network's history.

"Justified" was seen by 4.2 million viewers, topping all of cable TV and ranking as FX's biggest series premiere since "The Shield" first aired in 2002.

As is the tendency with Western-styled shows, the appeal was particular strong among older viewers. Only 2.0 million of "Justified" viewers were adults 18-49.

Nice.

[booster11373]

I watched and enjoyed, Am I wrong or does Olyphant give off a Michael Parks vibe

they say that like its a huge diference in viewers but its only 2.2 vs 2.0





from the previews it seemed like he was kinda like his deadwood character
which would be awesome

[nate1000]

They gonna rebroadcast the premiere?

[TonyStark]

Officer Shane Vandrell gets himself on another FX show?

And I just saw him in the Predators trailer. Almost feel bad for the guy, he's just jumping around all over the place, liked him a lot in Shield.

[extracheese]

They gonna rebroadcast the premiere?

They did already, last night at 11:30PM.
No more replays. The 2nd episode will air Tuesday night at 10pm

unfortunatly its NOT available on FX.com or Hulu.

So your out of luck.

[KnoxHarrington]

Finally got to see this this week.

Even if I hadn't known Elmore Leonard was behind this, I would have guessed it. It's got that great combination of humor and jarring violence that he's got down perfectly.

As a native Kentuckian, I'm always nervous about anything set here, because I figure it's going to portray Kentuckians as either completely idiotic hillbillies, or crazy mountain psychos. But I think this pretty much got what people are like in a small town. I liked it a lot.

I do have one quibble: the convict in the beginning said he hated working at Disney becuase it was full of "Negroes and homosexuals." Uh, no, those are not the words he'd probably be using. Especially if he's from Corbin. Anthony Cumia would consider that town horribly racist.

Should be available on demand in a month or so.

[fezident]

The pilot episode is free on iTunes.

[Dan G]

I DVR'd last night's episode and thankfully the premier popped up on my on demand menu today. Watched both episodes back to back.

I'm in for the full season. This is actually the first FX show I've ever seen.

[ChimneyFish]

I want to check it out, but so far it's not on my On Demand.

[KnoxHarrington]

I want to check it out, but so far it's not on my On Demand.

The pilot is a free download from iTunes. It's even in HD.

[StanUpshaw]

The first two episodes didn't knock my socks off or anything, but it'll have a place in my rotation. Even if it just follows a "caper of the week" type of format, it should be a decent enough show.

[Chigworthy]

Listening to R&F today made me think that Timothy Olyphant might be the new Clint Eastwood.

[CountryBob]

2 episodes and 2 people shot in the chest/stomach that didnt die. I guess those Kentuckians are some tuff sons-of-bitches.

[KnoxHarrington]

Yeah, yesterday I got shot in the chest going through a McDonald's drive in and still just went on to work

[nate1000]

Of course, this is FX, which means they will show four episodes, break for a month, then show the first four again while teasing the next two "all new" episodes, then take the balance of the summer off and wrap up the season this time next year.

[StanUpshaw]

I don't know...perhaps it was Ronnie B's criticism that pushed me over the edge, but this show is losing me fast.

Last episode seemed like they took a Walker, Texas Ranger script and just added some profanity (now that I think about it, the previous episode was pretty much the same).

I had such high hopes after the first episode.

[booster11373]

3 was the weakest so far

[Chimee]

I think the problem is that there isn't a central plot, there's the love thing and the fact that he doesn't want to be in Kentucky, but those just seem like side things. What bothers me is that the entire ad campaign was him facing of with the guy from The Shield and they get that out of the way in the first episode and there isn't much left to do but a series of standalone stories.

[joeyballsack]

So...is this guy going to shoot someone in every episode so he can say "it was....justified." ?

I might be out on this one.

[StanUpshaw]

Has anyone been noticing all of the weird red herrings they've been tossing in?

Like in episode two, they hinted that something was awry with Deadwood's hat after it was found in the stolen car.

Or in episode three where they were making it seem like the chief was planning on stealing the reward money and frame Deadwood for it.

They rarely amount to more than a lingering closeup or a pause in the dialogue, but they're the type of things that would be an obvious Chekov's Gun-type of clue in a CSI episode.

Am I making any sense?

Totally agree with this.

Good television has long story arcs, frivolous shit is done episodically. I can't imagine why they chose to present it like this.

I've liked the the characters for the most part but the plots have been very weak to say the least.

Or in episode three where they were making it seem like the chief was planning on stealing the reward money and frame Deadwood for it.

Yeah that whole thing was strange.

[Barnaby Jones]

This show started out bad ass but got real dumb real fast. Too bad.

[CountryBob]

What else ya gonna watch on a Tuesday at 10pm? I keep watchin until they yank it off they air.

[Barnaby Jones]

We could always not watch TV instead.

[KnoxHarrington]

We could always not watch TV instead.

You some kinda queer or something?

One of those book-reading homos?

[PapaBear]

I thought tonight's episode was damn good. Last week, not so much.

[Willmore]

Yeah, this show is not meeting expectations. I might give it a season, but I doubt it's going to be worth it.

I'm fine with the concept, but him being in a wild west shootout every week is fucking ridiculous.

[Chimee]

I don't like that the whole idea is that he's sent back to Kentucky and doesn't like it and then 4 episodes in they do an episode in LA.

[StanUpshaw]

Not to mention that it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to fly someone (let alone two) from the other side of the country to help on a simple manhunt. How does Deadwood's history with Cameron do anything to help find the guy?? Retarded episode all around.

[Dan G]

Dropped it from my DVR today. I made it about 15 minutes into the latest episode and had to bail. Show steadily declined week after week.

[Fallon]

I stand by my statement.

[extracheese]

ok - - if you analyze this weeks show, youll see a show that appears to be written by a high school geek squad. I mean the way they developed the character of the sherrif and his lackee was laughable.

THAT SAID IT IS STILL a fun, enjoyable show to watch. Probably due to the charizma of Olyhant and whoever that smoking hot blonde is "Ava'.

They just introduced the father of the con in prison and he looks like a good character. Looking forward to next weeks show.

[StanUpshaw]

The last two episodes are still sitting unwatched on my DVR.

I skimmed the last week's and saw Buster Bluth selling Hitler paintings. I just can't bring myself to watch.

[Kevin]

I stand by my statement.

Coming from a guy that Likes TNA IMPACT!

I like this goofy show - glad it has been renewed for a second season.

[Kevin]

I stuck with the show this season, and it redeemed itself during the stretch run.

The Season Finale was one of th best ive seen.

Do you find Raylans wife hotter than the GF?

I don't judge. Either of them can have me.

[Kevin]

Yes... This is true..

Raylan is one lucky sob...

[cougarjake13]

Do you find Raylans wife hotter than the GF?

100 x hotter

[extracheese]

They had a great villain in Bo Crouder. I wonder why they didnt allow him to continue until next season. He had a long history in Harlen, and im surprised they got rid of him.

Its a good show. I think one that will continue to get viewers and become a real hit for FX down the road.

[Kevin]

100 x hotter

She played slutty socialite Karen Darling in Dirty Money

She is so sexy.

[cougarjake13]

missed last nights episode, but i love this show. his ex wife is really hot.

[CountryBob]

yes she is - they need to be showing her nude already!

[Gutter]

yes she is - they need to be showing her nude already!

the one scene in the season premiere where she was laying in his bed.....i was drooling over that......something about the necklace going down the middle of her back and her hair off to one side added an extra bit of sexyness to it.

last nights episode had her joking about coming to work smelling like sex - because they hit it again without showers. It was hot!

[cougarjake13]

ex wife is amazing


what else has she been in ??

[CountryBob]

Really enjoying this second season - FX definitely has a hit on their hands

[Gutter]

ex wife is amazing


what else has she been in ??

She's done a ton of TV work before....most recenly, she was the slutty daughter on Dirty Sexy Money, which was awesome cause she was half naked almost every scene she did on that show. She was also in The Other Guys....the Whalberg/Will Ferrell movie. She's credited as "Christinith".

and in my research i just found out that Dickie Benett is the nervous nelly greenback with the camera in Saving Private Ryan that winds up letting that other dude get killed.

I too am REALLY enjoying this season. I'm hyped for tonights episode and the return of evil Boyd Crowder.

[cougarjake13]

season one ..... crowders



season two ..... bennetts




guess next season we'll see another family rylans at war with from childhood


only problem is obviously its a small town and all and everyone knows one another but no bennetts at all in season 1

[spe5150]

Anyone else getting a bad feeling for Ava? Now that Boyd has gone back to his crooked ways I just see it ending bad for Ave. Like he's played her right into his arms & when he settles all business it'll include her on the business end of the shotgun she killed his brother (or was it his cousin?) with.

I was almost happy to see Raylan's aunt/step-mom get shot (we assume) because I felt like they were going to write something bad happening to a woman in his life into the storyline & I like Ava Winona's characters too much. I guess we'll see. Looks like the last two episodes are going to be a really wild ride.

Although I dont watch Justified I love me some Natalie Zea. She was great in Dirty, Sexy, Money and love this scene from this years Californication.

And btw, when did she marry that guy? I thought she only lives/dates him but they never married?

Love the Boyd Crowder character......his lines are so well written....he's always quick witted and sharp and even when he's at his most evil he'll have a one liner that's just hilarious. The back and forth between he and Raylan when they're in a scene together is one of the best things happening on television. I do wonder why he got himself put in jail though....he's too smart for that so he's definitely up to something. I suppose he's going to kill that little shit from last season.

[Gutter]

Yeh we saw it but raylan didn't but u saw in his eyes he knew something was up

No, he didn't see him stab the guy with the ice pick, but the sniper dude that he works with told Raylan that the victim had a stab wound in his hand consistent with an ice pick. That's how they knew who they were looking for, because Nix's MO is using that weapon and is a known fugitive. I think when he wanted to play the gun game with Raylan he put the whole thing together and knew if he went for the gun he was going to get stabbed.

[cougarjake13]

U know I didn't even realize that

Ur deep man

[deliciousV]

All I want, from now on, is for the City of Lexington and FX to do nothing else but make more of this show. When I turn on my TV in the mornings I want this to be on, and for it to be all new.
It is written like a classic western, the only difference is the absence of spurs a janglin and the occasional mention of cell phones. Other than that it is western dialog. Love this sho and have from the beginning.

(and yeah, I know it's mostly filmed in PA)
(and if they are in KY, supposedly, why drink midrange bourbon with the Wild Turkey? Break out the Makers!)

[cougarjake13]

Wild turkey is a bigger name perhaps?

Most I can remember is Boyd's brother or cousin killed their buddy - who was going to go over to working for the mafia suit guy.

Dicky wasnt able to get his mothers hidden millions.

I'm with you Bob, the dialog between Crowder and Givens is as good as anything on TV.

[cougarjake13]

It truly is


and while other characters have come and gone im glad boyd is always around

[King Imp]

Still have no idea where this season is going. It's like Game of Thrones at this point with tons of different characters and storylines going on at once.
