Yeah, Pizz was bad. But season 3 was mostly bad in comparison to 1 and 2 imo. It was still fun and I liked it, mostly it suffered from the network wanting them to not do a big season long mystery or w/e, so it was broken into 2 mysteries for each half of the season. Then it promptly died ...

The new season of trailer park boys is way better than the other netflix original seasons they've done. It's way more contained without all the famous bullshit and they do the old school shenanigans. Dialogue is better as well, they don't seem like caricatures of their former selves anymore.

Too bad about no jroc though. And rip Lahey

The reduction is commercials is continuing. Fox is joining NBCU in reducing commercial load and they've even set a very nice goal.


quote:

Fox Networks Group, which includes the Fox network and the cable networks FX and Fox Sports, has an aggressive long-term plan in the works, aiming to get its commercial load down to two minutes per hour by 2020.

The network recently gave advertisers and viewers a taste of what the format would look like in a March 18 episode of "Family Guy." It ran uninterrupted, with just two one-minute spots from Sony PlayStation airing before and after the episode.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I think the first season was also bad so this is nothing new

Bad or not there was still an enormous gulf in quality between the first and second.

Lol, this year's [adult swim] April Fool's joke is premiering FLCL season 2 in place of the rest of Toonami... in subbed Japanese. Everything, including the logo and interstitials, are all in Japanese.

e: Actually, it was the first episode of Season 3, which is even better.

I can tolerate Roseanne Connor voting for Trump (as it seems a reasonable character choice for her) and I can even take them being sympathetic to why that would happen, but if the show itself prevaricates at all on the fact that it was the wrong and bad thing to do, I’m out. Does it prevaricate?

Oh, and if that Three Body Problem show really costs a billion dollars, there’s no way they’re setting it in the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

Meanwhile Cartoon Network doesn't appear to be doing an April Fool's joke this year, which is kinda disappointing (last year they put googly eyes on all of the characters). Even the bumpers had them, which was an impressive commitment to the joke.

Two new seasons and they're basically treating it like an anthology series where each season is going to be about Haruko interacting with a new group of kids.

I think they hoped it would be Westworld but that hasn't quite caught on yet, though to be fair, neither did GoT s1.

I watched Ocean's Twelve last year for the first time since my wife and I had seen it in the theater--during which I was completely and utterly hammer-drunk--and Jesus Christ that's a terrible movie.

It's probably my favorite "bad movie" because it's terrible in such bizarre ways. I know Soderbergh smokes a lot of weed but god drat.

Umm the actress herself is pro Trump so what do you expect exactly?
