All I've seen about it is their ads on buses and billboards, which always make me laugh because they say something about the 4 smartest people in the world and then have 6 people in them. Sorry other two idiots. A group of geniuses assist Homeland Security (led by Robert Patrick) with tough cases. Katherine McPhee is their liaison to humanity, and her son is a genius that they've taken under their wing. Don't watch it if you have a low tolerance for Gibson-esque dramatizations of computer science. Not Gibson as in "William," Gibson as in "Hack The".

They should, just like with TBBT or ER hire technical writers ... but then the plots could probably end up being even more boring.

Selfie is tolerable if you imagine it's a TV version of Clueless. The thing I really don't understand is why Karen Gillan's character is a pharmaceutical sales rep instead of a celebrity.

I quite enjoyed the pilot of Forever, but the timing of the final scene doesn't make much sense unless they shot on location. Surely every studio has one of those sets for day shooting.

You know where all the smartest people in the world work? That's right, law enforcement. Everyone in the top 10% of their class at MIT dreams of the day they can crack cases at Homeland Security.

Yeah, that fake hand looks like poo poo. Utopia Season Two was pretty good, but a pale imitation compared to the first. The best episode was the first one.

Bown posted:Farrell and Vaughn is definitely not as exciting as Harrelson and McConaughey. Farrell is fine but has never been particularly noteworthy in anything, and Vaughn is....well yeah. Farrell is good when he tries and isn't on coke or maybe just the right level of coke. Either way it may be a horrible trainwreak.

And I'm pretty sure Selfie is just My Fair Lady for all intents and purposes, you know, minus the British class system. Probably the only problem I had with the pilot was the wiff of patriachal tone that is shared by all the various Pygmalion adaptations, so I'm hoping they also do a better job of showing Cho's weaknesses and maybe Gillen's strengths (instead of immediately watering her down) as the show progresses.

Law & Order: SVU's season opener is tonight. Is the show still any good? I stopped watching when Stabler left. I used to be a huge SVU junkie but is it worth watching anymore?

Last night I watched I Know That Voice, a documentary about voice actors and the voice acting industry. It was very interesting. They were saying how versatile you have to be in order to really make it as a voice actor, which is kinda obvious. But one thing they never went into that I wish they did was how someone like Jon Benjamin is so successful while only doing the same voice for everything.

Jon Benjamin may only do one voice, but it's an awesome one. He did Jason on "Home Movies". It sounds nothing like his standard voice, which makes me think people just don't ask him to do anything but the usual.

Yeardley Smith has made herself a lot of money by voicing Lisa Simpson. Sometimes having a unique or animation-friendly voice will trump versatility.

But one thing they never went into that I wish they did was how someone like Jon Benjamin is so successful while only doing the same voice for everything. Either that or you just have to have one of those voices that everyone wants, like Keith David. Kristen Schaal seems to work the same way, but she's pretty much a cartoon character in real life. That doesn't account for Jon Benjamin though, he's like the most low-effort voice actor I've ever heard. It worked for Dr. Katz and Home Movies but for everything else it just sounds like "Jon Benjamin's voice coming out of this person for some reason." hcreight posted:Yeardley Smith has made herself a lot of money by voicing Lisa Simpson.

They all still take other jobs periodically. Dan Castellaneta in particular clearly still likes taking live action roles. But none of them would have to do anything but The Simpsons if they didn't want to. I think the main cast is all still making 300k an episode, and that's actually a pay reduction from a few years ago.

Archer does a joke about this in on a DVD about how if Archer looked like Jon Benjamin he wouldn't get any work.

It's funny and also kind of sad when they ask her on the commentaries how she changes up her voice for Lisa at different ages. You can tell she actually tries to do it all different, but it just sounds the same.

If you mean the main characters only, not really, but side characters' VAs certainly do. Tress MacNeille is ridiculously prolific and has a lot of regular background characters on the Simpsons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tress_MacNeille#Voices_on_The_Simpsons
