Lethal Weapon was enjoyable as hell. I knew a lot of the beats of the pilot coming in from watching the 4 minute trailer way back when, but the moment when Murtaugh drove the truck into the warehouse was the cherry on top.

Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons has changed its format again. Last night's episode was filmed in front of a live audience (though it sounded like there was maybe 20-30 people in the studio, not quite sure if that qualifies as an audience) I really don't know what format has worked best but I wish they'd just fuggin pick one at this point. That being said, I wasn't a fan of the live audience format, it was probably the most awkward one they've tried so far. The interviews are still good and interesting enough to catch up on Thursday morning while I play Two Dots on my phone, so whatever.

Lethal Weapon's first episode was fantastic but seeing as how this is a action oriented police procedural and that this is the pilot episode I'll reserve judgment for another few episodes. I'm still bitter about Limitless being garbage between episode 2-8 and then becoming great again when it's way too loving late.

Vikings did raid Francia and Emperor Charles the Bald did repel them more than once, including by having to pay them to leave, just like in the show. Some of the changes from history are just weird though. Like, it turns out Judith is a real historical person. Only, in reality, she wasn't the daughter of King Aelle, she was the daughter of Emperor Charles. She did marry Aethelwulf and everything.

Looks kinda like a c-cedilla. Is that a kerning problem on their end or is my browser being weird? Bruceski fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Sep 22, 2016 |

Hearing that Gerald McRaney was going to be on Deadwood before I saw it I felt like "Eh, that could be interesting" and then he's there and it's like "How did this show even exist without this guy" because he was that drat amazing. I mean I'd seen enough of him at that point that I knew adding him was a good idea because he was good, but then he showed up and completely blew every expectation away. I mean on a show literally built on superior acting it's kind of hard to be a standout, and he was definitely that. That final scene with him and Milo Ventimiglia on the first episode of This Is Us was like that. He's so very good.

And gently caress it - I'm getting tired of remakes too, but I can bear it to see John Rogers with a budget again. The Player was stupid-fun.

The Player was another fun show that was criminally short lived. Would have done well on USA or TNT.

I'm still bitter about Limitless being garbage between episode 2-8 and then becoming great again when it's way too loving late. In fact I would say that should be true of any show. But I guess it's a hard ask of people to give every show 2, 4, 10, 13 episodes to get into their groove.

Vikings combines events that happened many decades apart and people that lived many decades apart so everything can take place during one TV show.

I made a thread where I essentially just stole the new premieres list from the TV Calendar to give people a concise place to give feedback on what's good and what isn't. I know threads don't get started for a lot of the smaller shows these days, and if only two people watch something and mention it in here it'll tend to get lost amongst the general chatter. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3791517

Netflix just put up a new series called Easy, an anthology relationship dramedy that's very much in the Duplass brothers vein. (It's from the director of Drinking Buddies, if that gets your attention.) I'm about two episodes in and it's fantastic.

Got treated to a 30 minute advert for ABCs parent company as they enjoyed a VIP trip to Disney World. Yay! I think it must be some kind of mandate for ABC sitcoms to have at least one episode where they go to Disney World. Didn't they do that for like every show back in the TGIF era?

GreenNight posted:I wish Bakula was free so they can start Quantum Leap again. I've been sold since the rumored reboot on Sci Fi, but it seemed like they took Sliders instead. But what I really, really want after all these years is the Quantum Leap/Magnum PI crossover that's been rumored since before that Some text that's been on the internet for forever posted:"It was originally intended for there to be an episode of the science fiction program Quantum Leap where main character Sam Beckett leaps into the body of Thomas Magnum. The episode would have Beckett (played by Scott Bakula) stumbling through a day-in-the-life of Magnum, P.I., and presumably interacting with the varied series regulars. Both Magnum P.I. and Quantum Leap were produced by Donald P. Bellisario. Plans for a Magnum, P.I. movie led to the early demise of the crossover, but some footage was filmed; namely, the end-of-episode "jumping in" scene, in which Beckett jumps into Magnum's body, turns to the camera, and raises his eyebrows the same way Selleck made famous."

Sober posted:Personally I never take an action show's choreography and pacing or anything else by the pilot alone. For sure, they always pack a pilot like Lethal Weapon with tons of stunts and action. Week to week won't be on the same level, just look at the average ep of something like Hawaii five-0 or Blindspot for what network action can produce. But at least the characters show signs of potential to still be a fun watch.

I watched This Is Us twice before I noticed that Toby was played by Chris Sullivan (The Knick, Stranger Things) because he's completely unrecognizable clean shaven and wearing a fat suit.

That show has Dan Lauria, Michael Beach, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (who long ago on NYPD Blue showed he was way better than his mot well known role) so I was bound to watch it anyway. Hearing Fogelman is doing it just drives that home.
