Man, the O.C. got way good after Marissa died. I had never watched this far back when it was on TV, but Ryan is written completely different, and I'm really digging it. Also, Chris Pratt showed up, and Deputy Leo as a young Sandy Cohen. This show is great. Guess I should probably watch Southland, too, before Gotham starts... Yogalates.

Finally catching up with Married and You're the Worst is a bit enlightening, at least for finding out what I like out of new shows. Never saw the pilot of Married, but started with the second ep and rolled on through the sixth. Instantly hooked with the mom talking poo poo back to her kids as she rustles them to school, her grouchiness a type of honest mom you never really see on TV, outside of villains and such. It smacked of being real, and their interactions struck me as the same, no dumb dad, no nagging mom. An episode of them having fun separately, an episode deciding new couple friends, romantic retreat ending with making fun of twenty olds...its refreshingly low stakes. I like these people, and I want to see what happens next. You're the Worst...everything just comes right at you. The dub-step soundtrack, the brilliant in your face colors, the smarmy English guy and the sociopathic lady, do people think this stuff is edgy? The English guy doesn't come off as intelligent enough to really be witty, the woman doesn't come off as funny enough to be cutting. And when you don't have characters you don't like, who gives a poo poo what they do? Anyway, end of the second episode, and I'm probably calling it quits. Does it get better?

See I thought the pilot after the very beginning was a little rough but it has gotten better and better. Gretchen gets a little more flesh to her but the real stars become Edgar and Lindsay their little side adventures are insane. Also the fake Tyler the Creator guy is gold every time he shows up. Black Dwell made me crack up more than it should have. It has become my favorite show on right now.

You're the worst shifts a little in the "ensemble" direction but it doesn't change that much. Gretchen's friend is kind of funny but the war vet roommate guy isn't very good.

The show might be better if they explore the whole "we are actually very toxic people to be around" thing from the last episode instead of the cliched "Oh we are rebels but not really what we really want is a normal relationship." I just finished watching Bojack Horseman. It sure has 3 episodes that are a motherfucker (The old friend with cancer, the drug trip and "Am I a good person?") And the ending could go either way into being a sad state for Bojack or a new "happy" path for him. I hope the second season is more like the later part of the first one. Not going full S3 of Moral Orel, but gives us more than "lol rear end in a top hat horse in hollywood". Vincent fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Aug 29, 2014 |

Sober posted:Edgar has his moments but they lean too hard on the PTSD/I watched my friends explode right in front of me thing too often Yeah, that soldier is painful. Just really nails the coffin on this show attempting to be realistic at all. I hate to say it, but that guy is the most transparently unrealistic "wacky" sidekick (updated with that fake edginess this show loves so much) since Six on Blossom. Nobody acts like that guy. Actually, nobody acts like any of these people. Vincent posted:The show might be better if they explore the whole "we are actually very toxic people to be around" thing from the last episode instead of the cliched "Oh we are rebels but not really what we really want is a normal relationship." Yeah, they couldn't even hold to the idea of that not happening past the second act of the pilot. Whatever, I guess I've said enough bad things about the show already so I'll stop.

Chalk me in as one that is really enjoying You're the worst. I enjoy it for the same reasons I enjoy Always Sunny. Yeah, these people are pretty terrible human beings, but it makes me laugh. On the flip side, Married just feels like they build up some sort of plot and then drop it or completely forget about ever resolving anything about it.

Ha, so much for me stopping.Jack Skeleton posted:Chalk me in as one that is really enjoying You're the worst. I enjoy it for the same reasons I enjoy Always Sunny. Yeah, these people are pretty terrible human beings, but it makes me laugh. Its Always Sunny and You're the Worst both have characters that are supposedly terrible. But I think the difference between the two is that I get the feeling that the people behind Worst actually think, you know, that these people are actually "cool", and they don't really have the balls to stick to them actually being unpleasant to be around (eating Chinese in a movie theater, my heavens!). OTOH, one of the main characters on Sunny is probably a serial predator. There's no redemption there, just the best kind of smart black comedy. I mean, didn't you have the gang painting a dumpster baby brown to get welfare checks in the second episode? In Worst, the supposedly terrible main guy is already befriending his characterless little kid buddy, like someone was half paying attention to a Nick Hornby movie. Actually, I think this show was probably made by a guy that really liked those kind of movies (complete with withering British man-child), without bothering to pay attention to what was good about them (like the heroes actually being interesting). Boo. EDIT: Oh, and I love that about Married. Plots in sitcoms, especially relationship ones, is so stale right now. Characters that don't particularly give a poo poo about them and the story just following their character based responses and ideas is a great decision. poo poo doesn't resolve by the end of a half-hour.

I'm enjoying You're The Worst more than I thought I would, but I am missing the director of episode one already. It went from being shot like Lost in Translation to typical high budget single cam. Oh well, I still like the content. The episode that Edgar thinks he knows something that will kill the relationship is great. I don't care if people act like this in real life (in no shows I watch do people do that). Seeing Edgar continuously torture himself with anxiety for no reason was hilarious to me. Also I hate the main character's friend, but she still cracks me up because of how horrible she is and how much fun she's having while being a terrible person. Apparently I like to see characters have fun with what they are doing even if they are being societal assholes instead of trudging through it like a life penance (Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Always Sunny have this all in common).

I still can't believe more people like Married more then You're the Worst but to each there own. Edgar has to be hosed up to give Jimmy a redeming item in his life, "I loving hate everyone but I'm semi-looking after my PTSD/drug addict friend". They are trying to change that by having Edgar and Lindsay sleep together at some point in the series. *edit* It follows the Friends to Coupling arc of trying to make shows more realistic.

Haven't seen the Red Band Society pilot, but between that show, If I Stay, and The Fault of our Stars, I'm really annoyed that horrible medical conditions seem to be serving as the new backdrop for teen romance media.

Believe it or not but Phil Lord and Chris Miller have a put pilot commitment with Fox for a Greatest American Hero series. "Put pilot" means that Fox pretty much has to air at least the pilot or they'll suffer financial penalties.

I can neither confirm nor deny how I did until it airs. Only that would be the amount of money I would win if I walked at that very instant. I have to keep telling my family that everybody really shouldn't get their hopes up because they know me and they know how things usually work out for me. I didn't even go into it expecting to win anything, just to try and meet a personal goal that had been steadily changing as I got closer to the tape date. It went from "Let's win the million!" when I got off the phone with the contestant coordinator, to "Let's not wear fedoras and anime wolfshirts on national television!" by the time I got to the studio. You go for what you think you can achieve and build on it from there, because at that point, I didn't even know if I would get bounced on the very first question. You wouldn't have thought to see it in person, but it literally Terry's third day on the job. I didn't get a chance to talk to him much during the stoppages, because he was constantly getting instructions from the booth over his earpiece. He had the energy, He knew how to work the crowd, and knew when to stand back and let the drama play out. Considering my biases, Terry Crews could be the shot in the arm the show needs, like how Steve Harvey has boosted Family Feud's ratings. I will tell you this as well: Dude likes his hugs, but that's okay because I like them, too. Also, I have just been told that the local affiliate will be moving the show to 2 am over here. I really regret promising on the invitations that we were going to watch this live. Also, I regret actually paying money for printed invitations in this day and age.
