I started watching this from the beginning on Netflix not too long ago, but got busy and kinda dropped it. I enjoyed it, though, and may have to get back into it. How many seasons are there? Any idea?

I'll be honest. All the hype we're getting makes me a little nervous. I guess I'm probably gunshy at this point. I've been hurt too much. :)

Trust me, I'm a Detroit Lions fan. I've more than learned to not get my hopes too high. I know preseason means nothing, but we went 4-0 during the whole 0-16 fiasco.

Wow, how did you manage to become a Lions fan? Just curious. I think ZJC on here is the only other Lions fan that I know. :)

It's on its 3rd season right now. Getting close to an end. So by the time you catch up, 3 will probably be ready to go.

Oh, okay. That's not bad. For some reason I was thinking there were like five seasons.

My parents.

Dad's from Michigan, and my Mom (From TN) lived there before TN had a pro team, so I've grown up watching them.

It's odd, for collegiate athletics, I'm a TN Fan; I suppose it's because I always watched the Vols at my Grandmas as a kid. And for professional sports it's all Detroit teams.

No, it's not too bad. I know how intimadating it is to try and catch up on a show with like 6 seasons is though lol. Most times I'm just like, do I really want to put that much time in?

Makes sense.

My dad used to like watching the Pistons during the "Bad Boys" era. Me, not so much. :)

My problem is I get addicted and have to watch as many episodes as I possibly can. But if I go too long between episodes, I lose interest.

I just checked Netflix and I made it to season one, episode 15.

I'm the same way lol. I've just recently caught up on everything I stopped watching like falling skies, and river monsters.

I don't remember the Bad Boys, considering I'm only 19. But the 2004 Championship team was a lot of fun to watch. Same thing with practically any Red Wings teams. The Lions got pretty fun when Schwartz arrived, but he got old quickly.

We have like 4 or 5 primetime games this year. I don't know how to contain the excitement. I mean, seriously, it seems like yesterday reporters were talking about how we could win our first road game in 26 games.

Still waiting on the Superbowl appearance.

I'm not familiar with either of those but River Monsters sounds like something my wife would enjoy watching.

19? Wow, you've got your whole sports fan life ahead of you. :)

Falling Skies is a TNT show, it's basically humans using guerrilla warfare to fight an alien invasion and reestablish order on earth. I enjoy it, but it does get a little repetitive.

River Monsters is the ultimate fishing show lol. This guy goes all over the world, where he hears of local legends of man eating fish or something that has killed somebody and tries to catch it. He's caught some mammoth fish, along with some pretty gruesome looking stuff.

Yes, I do. I like all my teams, but I just really want to see the Vols succeed the most. Maybe because I've seen them in person the most, or because I like college sports more.

I mean, really, I want all my teams to succeed, but there's just something about Good Ole' Rocky Top.

Well being that you were only 2 in 98, I know you don't remember what it felt like....but those times are hopefully on the horizon again.

Both of those sound interesting. For some reason your description of River Monsters made me think of Shelby the "Swamp Man" from Ax Men. I have no idea why. Are you familiar with him? Guy's crazy. :lol:

You can't truly appreciate success like we had in the 90s until you experience what we've been through recently. I'll admit, I took winning for granted.

Me too. He's hilarious. Seeing the look on people's faces who are around him for the first time is priceless.

Seems like I remember him getting his own show or something?

Nope, don't remember it. Remember beating Florida LITERALLY a couple of times, a couple of good bowl wins and what not. Remember some SEC championship games.

I didn't follow the Vols as much during the Dooley years...something just told me he wasn't a good coach. I remember watching the 2010 LSU game. It was my sisters birthday, and I was at my Aunt's house. We were jumping for joy as the clock expired, and then...well, we know what happened.
