I never understood why people would watch the same 3 shark documentaries on repeat for a week, let alone get excited about it. Maybe I just don't belong on this earth.

Nathan For You is like the perfect embodiment of the goon spirit. loving with unwilling people in a way that is 85% sarcastic, but still 15% percent sincere. EDIT: double post

I just read the Wikipedia summary for the sons life in nip/tuck and holy poo poo am I right in assuming that nip/tuck is the stupidest show in recorded history Also how many times is a plot resolved by bartering either with plastic surgery or promising to perform a plastic surgery procedure in exchange Because holy Christ it's done like six different times in that summary alone

The best was when the son became a mime that robbed people Also the replacement doctor that loved to gently caress furniture. Amazing television.

Nip/Tuck is pretty memorable for how batshit it was. It's a show about plastic surgeons where the pilot episode ends with them feeding a dead body wrapped in hams to an alligator and from there it goes on to organ thieves, cuticle scissor circumcisions, platic surgery-themed serial killers, pedophile transwomen, Joan Rivers smearing semen on her face thinking it's skin cream, and Peter Dinklage as a recurring character fighting to keep a baby's hands deformed and useless. I really wish that when Ryan Murphy's other shows started to suck after the first season or two they at least started sucking in such a ridiculous, over-the-top way.

Glee would have been so much better if it had elevated to those heights instead of devouring itself in chasing iTunes sales. I still think that show could have been a long running pillar of television if they hadn't made every mistake a show could make.

Mu Zeta posted: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. Nip Tuck is the poo poo! At least the first two seasons. That show hit a quality drop like a ferrari hitting a brick wall. EDIT: I just started cackling at the thought of the son ending up a loving mime. EDIT 2: And that serial killer poo poo was what really did it in. gently caress that went forever. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Jul 16, 2014 |

Who could The Carver be? I don't know, but it couldn't possibly be one of the two new cast members.

Ryan Murphy usually has some good short seasons in him, but it's amazing how quickly he can spiral out of control. It's already apparent with AHS, where Season 3 was just a mess of nothingness. He has this ability to throw everything at the wall in desperation. Part of me admires the imagination. If there's any wrestling fans in the house, he's the Vince Russo of the TV world.

BSam posted:I almost feel ashamed saying this now, but the Pilot episode of Glee was loving brilliant. I'd say the whole first season is pretty good. It's sort of fascinating too because it's a show that's being pulled in 3 different directions by 3 different writers. It made for some inconsistency but there's a surprising amount of melancholy there as well, whereby it's pretty flatly stated that their dreams of performing are going to mess them up in a pretty big way. It all falls apart eventually but I think had it just run for that one season people would've loved it. The only thing I hated about the show at that time was the insistence on taking otherwise good singers and autotuning them all. Once you actually notice it it becomes grating.

I bailed at the end of the second(?) season when they made it to nationals, arrived in New York and immediately decided to write their own songs and completely redo all their performances. I never even finished that episode, I just turned the show off and never went back.

Shark Week runs the same stuff in blocks because normal people don't have that much time for TV so it gives multiple opportunities to watch.

IRQ posted:Shark week was awesome when you were 8. I really wonder if it would be, looking back at the the changes between 90s programming and today's. TV documentaries these days have to show their subject as the biggest best most shocking extreme important thing in the world, rather than just being straight-up informational nature documentaries. The history and nature ones I've gone back and revisited from that era are just so much less concerned about the "cool" factor and just feel factual and educational. They're not trying to be big Hollywood special effects extravaganzas like anything you (so rarely) see now on Discovery or History, or even PBS. Just try watching any modern dinosaur documentary versus this, where there are actual paleontologists sitting around and explaining aspects of the lives of dinosaurs, theorizing and wondering, rather than just an hours worth of the "cool" moments of dinosaurs fighting and stealing eggs and getting hit by meteors. Not to say those moments don't happen in the linked doc too, but they have voiceover that isn't hyperbolic and is talking about their grazing habits and volume of food eaten, the way certain parts of their bodies are used for defense, etc. I'm assuming Shark Week was similar back then. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jul 16, 2014 |

Glee started out giving their characters real emotions and problems and built real relationships between them and then somewhere around season 3 decided "oh poo poo we don't know where to go from here! Time to hit the reset button!"
