OLDYELLAR

does anybody else watch this ? it`s set in a jail , just started watching it a coulpe of weeks ago and think its really good .

Slydice

yea, I've been watchin it on and off (the time it's on makes it difficult)

but it is fairly cool so far

OLDYELLAR

yeah , you see it last night ? it was fairly good , .

darthmise

ROFL!!

OLDYELLAR

darthmise you like it then ?

The Gopher

Theres already an Oz thread at the bottom of this page.Agreed it is a brilliant show-the last few episodes havce been the best so far since i started watching a few months back.Its also on TG4 a few episodes behind on Monday nights at varying times(usually between 10:30 and 11 starting).

RopeDrink

Love the show, and have only seen a few of them.
Really gets your views on prisons rolling.

Saw that one on monday night, and it had me gripped.
Would someone be so kind as to tell me what other channels does it appear on, and what times?

I generally just flick the channels late some nights and just happen to come across it...

OLDYELLAR

I`m sorry , i did`nt know there was a thread about this already , here listen i think it was channel 4 that i was watching it on last night , at about half 11 , i will check it for you later .yeah its an excellent programme .

The Gopher

Oz is on Channel 4 around 11:30 Tuesday,mentioned above about TG4 in my previous post,and starting on E4 first friday in August at 9 i think.

Karl Hungus

Am I the only person on boards who has watched it since the first series???

Remarkable thing is that it hasn't gone downhill one bit.
Brilliant show.

Must get series one on DVD.

The Gopher

Angelwhore-You most likely are.Because Channel 4 hid it in the 4Later slot,the home of everything bad about late night tv,the rest of us thought it was,well,god knows what!In the same league as the rest of late night crap tv.How wrong we were........

great stuff. i saw a few episodes on TG4 (i think, could have been Channel 4) and i thought it was excellent

OLDYELLAR

I wish i had seen it from the first series , i`m really getting into it now . yippee a programme worth watching!!!!!!!!!

m1ke

my favorite show on tv atm

it's the only show that i'd bother making a cup of tea before watching... followed closely by law & order(gah i wish sky1 would take it out of the 2.40 because me is tired). and 6 feet under.

OLDYELLAR

6 feet under , that`s gotta hurt!

In that case, maybe I'm also the only one who liked 4Later?

Apart from Oz, there was Vids, and Bits (Being the only decent games show ever made) as well as many bizzare and brilliant independant animations, some rather interesting programmes about serial killers and true life stuff. Not to mention some god damn ****ing brilliant movies.

All in all, it was a god damn lot better than Big Brother Live all night.

Fidelis

I've been watching it from the start aswell, great stuff altogether.

Vids was f*cking class

Winters

Yes.. if you looked you would find my

There on Channel4 at around 11:30 on Tuesdays and around the same time on TG4 on Monday.. Ive been watching it for a while now and its possibly the best show that on tv at the moment. Its really going to get (more) interesting now after last tuesdays episode on Channel4

Belisarius

Four later was brilliant, And I blame it for my current insomnia + staggering late night IRC feuled phone bills , Oz was on a good three years before I fink (?) on a Thursday night on C4 , there was a rather dodgy show with Micheal "resevoir dogs" madsen on after it ,which I used to love aswell . Beyond that there was Vids , which is easily like my most favouritist show leik ...evar! . Nigel's rants were lifechanging , tbh I never liked Bits ,but it wasnt bad compared to the ****e they have now . Latenight poker warrants a mention . And the glut of kitshie little documentaries shorts and films . Its a shame we got bumped to digital , now i have E4 , instead of 4later i have repeats of Sex in the f*cking city and Big brother.

Cant argue there. I used to catch it sometimes on Friday or somefin. It kept you awake which was good... but the yolk they have now isint very good... they forget about the hugh PC market and only seem to go on about that feckin XBOX yolk...

Possibly one of the most boring yet strangly addicitve show ever. If you turn down the sound and not listen the that guys commentary you could fall asleep very easily. Turn on the commentary and you become engulfed in wonder as Jimmy Two Eyes makes his trademark move of tipping the top of his cap!!! WOW!

I would love to know why TG4 show the program.. why not RTE or TV3 .. the two biggest stations? RTE probably though irish people wouldnt watch that stuff and gave it to TG4 or something

Makaveli

OZ is great all right.
I think I've seen since series 2, or the end of 1.

Late Night Poker is strange as you feel compelled to watch it, but if it was called Mid-Day Poker and shown at 3 in the afternoon you wouldnt go near it.

Winters

Anyone see last nights episode? I though it was funny how that reporter dude got the sh*t knoked into him only to have the network not show the documentary they were working on

FreaK_BrutheR

Yeah I must say I'm an avid fan since season 1 also.

I been watching the tg4 episodes lately but watched the c4 one last night and was ****ed off to see it was ahead of tg4.

Adebissi is dead in the channel 4 one!!! CRAP! (spoiler!)

guess who does it but!!!

Winters

Yea.. i started watching the one on Channel4 and to know whats going on i was also watching the one on TG4. He, He. I wouldnt recommend anyone thats watching the one on TG4 to switch over to C4... it will ruin it for ya.

The Gopher

I was actually a little disappointed with last nights C4 ep.It just had something missing-perhaps because most of the time was spent in those boring interviews with the prisoners and we saw less of the usual plot(e.g the drug dealing,killing,fighting etc etc).It was a historic episode however-it must be the first where nobody was killed:D But it basically was a very bad episode of an absoloutely brilliant programme.It was also the start of the second half of the season(in the US it took a break i think).Lets hope the following episodes are as good as the ones im used to seeing.And another thing-wasnt it a bit stupid the way that Adebisis death was mentioned only in a few sentences by Kareem and Poet despite the fact he was one of the shows main characters?It could have made for an interesting storyline.

OLDYELLAR

yeah i was looking at it meself last night , not the same level of violence alright , but i really lov that programme , but man it fu*ks ya up watchin it on tg4 and c4 , jeepers me got ta stop donig that.

Makaveli

God nobody gets killed and it would seem like the program has gone crap. :rolleyes:
There's more to it than people dying.
Last night annoyed me because I didnt know Adibisi was dead. Other than that it was another solid episode.
Jesus Gopher and Old Yellar how did you stand watching the last series where far less people died?

OZ'S FINAL SEASON PREMIERES IN 2003
Production has concluded on Oz's final eight episodes. Cast and crew are understandably down but their spirits were high all the way to the end. Lips are sealed on storylines, character development, and other cool inside information but Executive Producer Tom Fontana explains these episodes will "..finish telling the story I originally set out to tell." Oz was HBO's first hour-long drama series. More features on this and past Oz seasons is forthcoming.

Just read the above on the official site.

[edit]On another point. After looking through the site, I see that I have watched it from Season 1. I just couldnt remember.[/edit]

RasTa

hmmmmm im glad there's another season coming out cause i feckin read what happens at the end of the last season so far and tis a big spolier
oz is better than the sopanros!!!
were the dvd's

The Gopher

I wasnt saying it was crap because nobody died-it was merely a humourous observation;) What was bad about it was the way that certain plots were ignored such as Adebisis death.The only thing heard of it was Said mentioning that he had been found not guilty by way of self defence,as well as a short insignificant mention by Poet.Also,it didnt exactly show what so bad your man Eldridge had done against the O Reilly brothers-it merely said he showed them in a bad light.Could have been more specific.Its just this kind of thing that you dont expect from such a normally well written programme.For example they copuld have made Kareem Saids trial into a storyline but instead it was dismissed like nothing much.
Ah well,Im not giving up yet.Even the best shows have their off days.But some US shows such as the X Files and soith park get useless as time goes on.Lets hope Oz doesnt go the same way.

what can i say , i like a bit of action and well death!

azezil

i was just gonna start a thread about this

Started watching it a couple of years ago, then stoped cause i 4got what channel and time it was on!! weird excuse i know but i never really made a point of looking at it, but somehow came accross it time and time again... when ever its on

It's good alrite, nice little insights to prison life and history ala the black dude. Don't know about all this nudity and ghey rapage thou! :eek:

Pigman

Oz is a good show. At first it's a little consfusing with so many plotlines and principle characters but continuous viewing yields its reward. Suspension of disbelieve is required with an average of 2-3 murders per week but the acting is strong and the storylines are involving and intriguing.

plastic membrane

What i love about the show is the fact that absolutly anybody (bar the narrator, and even then you never know) could bite the dust at anytime. Adibisi's death last week was shocking. Great stuff.

Mistakill

I watch it when ever i can on TG4

OLDYELLAR

i actually rather watching it on tg4 mmmm s t range!

Winters

I find i get a better TV recption on TG4 usually so i can watch it better on that

Makaveli

The ad breaks are shorter on TG4 too.


edit: to fix my glaring grammatical mistake.

OLDYELLAR

go on da gaeilge and da bad ass tg4!

azezil

ya another tg4 personage ere

Fidelis

Don't know if this was already pointed out, but Adibisi was killed off so that he could take part in the Mummy Returns

OLDYELLAR

hey i never knew that , cool!

Makaveli

See it tonight?
Your man,

that was killed

was the bad guy with the blonde hair in the first Rush Hour movie.
Just thought I'd mention that in case any of you recognise but cant remember where from.

Winters

Last nights episode was pritty good alright. I was amazed that they were able to fit so much into that episode.

I thought that chineese guy was pritty funny. Everyone else saw what was going to happen but he didnt .... muppet. I can see that new guy taking Adibisi place ... if he dont die first. He is not liked buy the mafia lads (Cant remember there names ).

Oh... it really is getting better after that last episode.

The Gopher

Winters-Of the 2 guys you refer to only one is in the real mafia.Ive gathered that the way it works is that Chucky Pancamo(leader of the Italian mafia guys)and Morales(leader of the Hispanics)are aligned with each other to distribute drugs to their seperate gangs.When Adebisi was around he was head of the black drug dealers and he was a great busnissesman,able to easily get drugs into Oz.Now the blacks are lead by Poet,who is doing a far less decent job.It would seem that Pancamo and Morales were never any good at bringing in drugs,and therefore bought theirs of Adebisi to distribute to their own dealers.Therefore drugs are now alot more scarce in Oz.But Pancamo and Morales see Burr Redding(a black drugs baron and leader of the gang Augustus Hill,the disabled narrator,used to deal with)as a threat.Redding wanted the guys to attempt a hit on them,thinking that if he survived he would earn their respect and therfore a part in the drug trade.But Morales knew Redding was a tough bastard and didnt want to lose in a murder attempt on him,and so tried to trick his Chinese"friend" to do it.But he was too honest and reported Reddings"threats"against the chinese to McManus,who warned Redding he would be the prime suspect in any attacks on the chinese.And so Morales killed the chinaman to frame Redding.

Winters

Yea.. i got all that.... i am now waiting for the next episode too see what happens to the new black dude that wants to take things over ... whats his name..

As far as i can see TG4 are only 1 or 2 episodes behind C4. According to entertainment.ie the next episode on TG4 is the one woth the TV crew..

Winters

Anyone see Oz on TG4 last night.... Adibisi did die.....again. I always like to watch that episode. McManus is so happy once he shows Leo the video of Adibisi's party.

Im looking forward to tonights episode on Channel4.

Makaveli

Yup, finally got to see Adibisi die.
Missed the first half of tonights episode, well at least I have TG4 for catch up.
Actually I think E4 repeats the episode on a friday night. Is that right?

The Gopher

Yep E4 Friday night at 9.I wished id watched that ep with Adebisi dying but I was at a my nans house and she never boithered tuning in TG4.I was about to but i remembered Winters saying it was the tv crew ep and i said"**** it,its such an awful episode i cant be arsed tuning it in"
F*CK YOU WINTERS!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad:
Look,Ill let you off if it were that websites fault but if not-you tit!:D

Winters

Im sorry....
/me slaps entertainment.ie

I wasent looking forward to watching it again but when i noticed that there was no TV Crew i though "Oh **** .. someone is gonna hate me"

Jim

ah so tis is the thread that keeps winters' post count up:rolleyes:
