DivisionPost posted:I love the show, enough that it kills me to see people talk poo poo about it, but it really is a tough show to love. I think it's one of those "You have to be tuned to a certain frequency" deals. Everything I hear about The Leftovers makes it sound like the dullest, most paint-by-numbers melodrama on television. Its saddens me to think that there's a generation of writers inspired by shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad to produce ponderously boring poo poo as if glacial pacing and tedious interpersonal drama is what made those shows good. edit: gently caress it, I'm just going to say it. Last night's episode of 24 was the most gripping and entertaining episode of television I've seen since the BB finale, and it was pure pulp. Audiences like pulp. Correction, they loving LOVE pulp. Every popular show, even the ponderous ones, are brimming with pulp. The Sopranos started as pulp. Breaking Bad was stuffed with it. For God's sake, writers, your shows need pulp to be watchable because pure masturbatory writing exercises (looking in your direction, Lindelof) aren't entertaining to anyone but yourselves.

Nobody hates The Leftovers. They just hate Damon Lindelof.. The show itself is just sorta bland but it's on a premium network so people will talk about it. 5 years from now nobody will remember it like Nip/Tuck.

Shut up about Leftovers. Go to that thread if you want to do the stupid "It's good/bad because I say so, so you shut up" bullshit.

So SNL fired two more guys: John Milhiser and Noel Wells. When they fired the other guy whose name I don't remember, I remembered that he was the bland guy. I don't even remember who Milhisner is, so that says all there is to say about him. Noel Wells I remember thinking was ok, but SNL actually has an extremely strong female cast right now, so maybe she was a casualty of not living up to their standards?

Nip/Tuck was horrible and I'll never forget it. Nip/Tuck scarred me. And yet I still gave Glee 2+ years of viewing.

The new Hulu series The Hotwives of Orlando is worth checking out. It's a collection of a UCB regulars, and while the first episode had me worried they weren't going to do enough to differentiate themselves from the actual reality shows, they get attacked by ghosts in the third episode.

It's nothing new, and not entirely surprising considering how huge the cast had become. Some people have done well after being cut from SNL.

Just a reminder of how boring / unusable Brooks Wheelan was, one of the only sketches I remembers him in was a panel thing where he had to play himself and the joke was "I'm Brooks Wheelan, from SNL . . . no I'm actually on SNL." THAT was the extent of his usability.
