Six Feet Under finally coming to RTE!

Go Figure! · 13-10-2003 6:42pm #1

Six Feet Under is finally coming to RTE on Friday the 24th of October at 10.00 on Network Two. About bloody time I say!!!
What took them so long? This wonderful series is already in its third season on E4.

I thought they already showed season 1? Is my dodgy memory acting up again?

13-10-2003 11:49pm

I thought they had too...
But i won't be watching it on RTE, untill they get rid of those stupid dogs, or bugs or whatever they call them.

mm

i have never seen this programme. might be one for the video

sceptre · 14-10-2003 2:12am

Definitely worth checking out if you've never seen it Mossy.

celticfc · 14-10-2003 7:10am

I never got around to watchin' it on E4. I might just take a look @ it too.

daveg · 14-10-2003 7:29am

Best thing on TV at the moment imo.

Panda · 14-10-2003 10:32am

good news that,

watched a couple of episodes on c4 but then missed too many and didnt know what was goin on.

will be tuning in.

Elmo · 14-10-2003 10:33am

no hasn't been on RTE yet.

I beleive that TG4 wanted it and that's what it took so long.

TG4 like HBO I think OZ, Curb Your enthuism and some cop show cann't think of the name of it.

The cop show (and it's not quite a cop show - more an investigation with cops...) was called "The Wire" and it is easily one of the best cop shows of the last decade. It's written by the creater of the excellent "Homicide: Life on the Street" and is about the investigation into a drugs gang in Baltimore, Maryland.
One of the reasons it worked so well was it's ultra gritty realism. For example they wanted a wire-tap. Now normally in a movie they just get one but here they had to do it *as a cop really would* and go through all the procedures. They'd also show how the inept bureaucry of the police can help mangle investigations as much as the pepetrators themslves. It may sound boring but works so well because of the insane attention to detail and one story spread over 13 episodes.
Oh and Season 2 has aired in the US already with Season 3 having been commissioned. I intend to appropriate Season 2 from the usual sources

Same here. I'm lost in Series 3 atm.

I watched series 1 - absolutely riveted by it. I think it got the blend of drama and black humor exactly right. Have to get my hands on the second series or watch it when it finally gets aired on RTE.

I make it a point never to watch a series if I miss the beginning. A friend of mine hadn't seen all of Angel Season 2, never mind 3. He then caught the end of Season 4 and was completely confused going, "Who's that? They're *what*?!" and "what the...? where did? and how did..." etc.....

Go Figure! · 15-10-2003 4:38pm

Yeah ixoy that is my philosophy for wathching TV. If I know I am going to miss an episode in a series I make sure to record it, if for some reason I forget to do that I drop the series and wait for it to start again somewhere else.

Elmo · 16-10-2003 11:58am

It depends on the series.

Somes series you can just watch and not follow, some you have to follow and other you can follow or just watch them every now and then.

Soap needs to be watched every month, (Or not at all)
Try to miss one episode of any american drama and you'll be okay, except for 24, Alias.
Some need to be watched from the beginning i.e. 24.
Others you can come into whenever, mainly sit coms.
British sitcom rearly make refreance to other episodes in the series, american sitcom always do, thats one reason some people don't like american sitcom.

Six Feet Under is something to watch from the beginning.

Its hard to watch and keep your attention up for 1hr and 30mins every week, IMO. Can just image what it like to watch with the amount of adds on American TV.

Will RTE just run the serie up to series 3 with out a break?

It's hard to tell but they should! TG4 showed the first five seasons of Oz in two blocks, so I don't see why not (well besides 39 weeks...)

krattapopov · 28-10-2003 1:34pm

im very happy with myself that i got the chance to watch it from the start, definitely my fav show on tv at the moment, only 3 episodes left in series 3!! where is series 4??!?!!

Go Figure! · 28-10-2003 1:49pm

The show is currently on hiatus in the U.S and its future has yet to be determined. If it does return series 4 will be braodcast sometime next year.

ixoy · 28-10-2003 1:50pm

There's doubt over its future?

Tell me it's not so! It HAS to continue!

Stark · 28-10-2003 1:51pm

I definitely think they need to rethink things for series 4. the spark was totally lost in season 3.

Go Figure! · 28-10-2003 2:02pm

I'm afraid it's future is in doubt. Check out this website page for proof.

Sorry the correct link is.

hopefully they'll wrap up loose ends and leave it there. David should dump Keith and go with Patrick. Nate and Lisa should break up, and Nate and Brenda should get back together.

Claire should die from a drug overdose. Ruth should resign herself to life as a widow and raise cats.

That just says they're on a break. "The Wire" for example has got a third series: see the officical HBO site for that!

The third season of The Shield is being filmed, according to this

And Dead Like Me just got renewed - check it out here

... that site is seriously misinformed or misleading!

Mossy Monk · 28-10-2003 8:54pm

oh ****. i forgot all about it. any chance of a repeat?
anyone know

Go Figure! · 29-10-2003 1:51pm

Yes ixoy although this is another site that says the same thing

http://www.epguides.com/grid/

it seems I was misinformed and was wrong.
This is two website pages that say that Six Feet Under has been renewed for a fourth season and will begin filming in November.

Yay! More Six Feet Under! *hugs Go Figure! the bringer of good news*

Eppie · 29-10-2003 2:08pm

oh thank god! six feet under is without a doubt my favourite programme of the moment....

Go Figure! · 29-10-2003 3:20pm

Mossy Monk, no chance of a repeat in the near future. The Series 1 DVD is out in the shops at the moment though, if you want to buy it?
